Maiev Shadowsong



"Maiev Shadowsong is also with us now. As if she attended the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony underdressed, well, I guess this little woman here needs my help to reveal the truth about the USRAC War that it's run by the Belkan Grey Men. They would've used this as a business, but I can help her take a good care of it."

--Su Ji-Hoon, How I Can Help Make the World Great (chapter)

Maiev Shadowsong (pronounced MY-ehv) is a legendary night elf warden and former priestess of the moon. Ruthlessly dedicated to her own sense of justice, she has been a part of many important events spanning the past 10,000 years.

Maiev grew up in the ancient Kaldorei Empire, eventually joining the esteemed Sisterhood of Elune and rising through its ranks to become a senior priestess. When the War of the Ancients threw the world into chaos, Maiev, along with her younger brother Jarod Shadowsong, played a major role in the fight against the demonic Burning Legion as part of the Kaldorei Resistance. Maiev's most defining role would come after the war, when she volunteered to become the leader of a newly-formed elite force known as the Watchers. These night elves were charged with watching over the prison of the infamous Illidan Stormrage, and Maiev would make this duty her life's work.

After millennia, Illidan would eventually be freed from captivity during the Third War. In response, Maiev began a desperate and all-consuming hunt to find the Betrayer and return him to his cell. This chase took her across Azeroth, and eventually even to the ruined world of Outland. There she launched a guerrilla war against Illidan and his allies, though she was ultimately captured. Her revenge would finally come when she and a group of heroes stormed the Black Temple and killed its master.

Following Illidan's death, Maiev returned home, but her sense of duty brought her into conflict with even the highest levels of night elf society. Despite this tension, Maiev remains dedicated to protecting the world and her people. She would marshal and lead her faction of wardens on the Broken Isles during the third invasion of the Burning Legion, reuniting with her brother Jarod and later taking part in theAssault on Broken Shore.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, when the most of Night Elf Wardens have their new advanced technology and their new advanced weapons due to the Night Elf and Azeroth joined the Grand Alliance, she eventually joined them that she would have her justice missions and defeat the evil forces.

Until the USRAC War, she would find ways to prevent the Anti-Rubyism and Rubyist affections with find main cause of USRAC War for her homeland,her nature and Azeroth in an justice missions while her own Night Elf allies and other Night Elf Wardens would follow and protect her.
