1st prize cosplay Japan Expo Comic Con 2012 in Paris, France.

The Night Elves (or kaldorei, which means "Children of the Stars" in their native tongue of Darnassian) are among the oldest known races in Azeroth. Native to the western continent of Kalimdor, the night elves ended a long period of seclusion at the end of the Third War and became members of the Alliance.

The Night Elves are the direct descendants of dark trolls. This tribe of fierce warriors took up residence at the Well of Eternity. The magic contained within altered their physical appearance, making them into the Night Elves known today.

These shadowy, immortal beings were the first to study magic and let it loose throughout the world. Their reckless use of magic drew the Burning Legion into the world and led to a catastrophic war between the two races. The Night Elves barely managed to banish the Legion, but their wondrous homeland was shattered and drowned by the sea. For thousands of years the Night Elves refused to use magic for fear that the dreaded Legion would return.

As a race, Night Elves are typically honorable and just, but they are very distrusting of the 'lesser races' of the world. They are nocturnal by nature and their shadowy powers often elicit the same distrust that they have for their mortal neighbors.
