The Sons of Lothar enter the Dark Portal and venture into Draenor.
From Warcraft: Chronicle Volume II, pages 180-181.

Alleria and Turalyon witness the destruction of Draenor from a far away point in the Twisting Nether.

From the Legenden der Jagd, the Hunter Order Hall research book:
Thas'dorah, Legacy of the Windrunners, Part Ten
When Thas'dorah was recovered from the Legion world of Niskara, it renewed hope that Alleria had survived the destruction of Draenor. Vereesa believed that her eldest sister had continued her war against evil by hunting the Burning Legion itself, pursuing it into the deepest recesses of the Twisting Nether.

Alleria Windrunner says: Every day for a thousand years, I've thought about what I wanted to say to him. Now, though... words fail me.
High Exarch Turalyon says: I know, my love. I feel the same. But once we see our son, our hearts will speak for us.
---
Arator the Redeemer says: But... couldn't you have reached out to us? To your people? To me?
High Exarch Turalyon says: Arator... not a day passed that your mother and I didn't--
Alleria Windrunner says: Every choice we made was to keep you safe. It broke our hearts to be apart from you.

Conversation with Vereesa:
Alleria Windrunner says: Impossible! I refuse to believe she now leads the Horde. Not after all they did to our people during the war.
Vereesa Windrunner says: There is more. I'm... I am not sure how to explain the rest. Or if this is even the time or place to--
Alleria Windrunner says: I must know, Vereesa. What fate befell our sister?
Vereesa Windrunner says: Give me a moment. I will do my best to explain...
Vereesa Windrunner says: Perhaps we had best discuss the matter in private.

Conversation with Khadgar:
Archmage Khadgar says: It is good to see you again, my friends. When I couldn't find you after the devastation of Draenor, I wasn't sure what to think.
High Exarch Turalyon says: We feared for you as well, Khadgar. But I think part of me knew it would take more than the explosion of a planet to slow you down.
Alleria Windrunner says: Kurdran and Danath are safe as well?
Archmage Khadgar says: Indeed, though I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. When this is all behind us, perhaps the Sons of Lothar should share a reunion feast!
High Exarch Turalyon says: I agree. It's been a long time, but as I recall it was your turn to buy the drinks, Khadgar.
Archmage Khadgar says: Well, I don't know about that...
Alleria Windrunner says: Definitely your turn. Never question an elf's memory... even after a thousand years.

Alleria Windrunner says: I would have words with you, Huntmaster.
Alleria Windrunner says: Vereesa told me you accompanied her on the mission to Niskara. That you risked your own life to rescue me, and prevented her from falling into the inquisitor's trap.
Alleria Windrunner says: It is clear you wield Thas'dorah with skill and finesse. You bring honor to the bow, and to the memory of those who carried it before you.
Alleria Windrunner says: There may come a day when I will have need of my family weapon once again. But for now, at least, I have a different path to follow.
Alleria Windrunner says: Hold Thas'dorah proudly, champion. Know that you have proven worthy of it.

Alleria Windrunner says: I need to finish what I started, Locus-Walker.
Locus-Walker says: Can you, though? With your... attachments?
Alleria Windrunner says: What are you talking about?
Locus-Walker says: Why, your mate of course. How does he feel about your choices?
---
Alleria Windrunner says: Turalyon trusts me to make hard decisions, and I him.
Locus-Walker says: I am not talking about trust.
Locus-Walker says: How can you expect to embrace the Shadow with the Light shining so brightly at your side?
Alleria Windrunner says: Without the Light there is no Shadow, teacher.

Ein taugliches Medium

Alleria Windrunner says: As the naaru lay dying, L'ura's essence called to me. A being born of the Light hand turned to shadow.
Alleria Windrunner says: It was a familiar sensation.
Alleria Windrunner says: The transformation you witnessed is under my control, to be used when I see fit. I am the same person I was... and yet, something more.
Alleria Windrunner says: The use of such power makes some... uneasy. But shadow is a force to be harnessed, not feared.
Alleria Windrunner says: As with any weapon, one must maintain constant control when wielding it.

Return to Azeroth

Alleria sighs, her brow furrowed.
High Exarch Turalyon says: It is unsettling to look upon these memorials to our passing.
Alleria Windrunner says: Indeed. Sometimes I feel that I have already died twice. Once when we were presumed lost on Draenor, and again when gripped by the shadow of the fallen naaru.
Alleria Windrunner says: Perhaps death is the true legacy of the Windrunners.
High Exarch Turalyon says: You're anxious. You hide it well... but I know you.
Alleria Windrunner says: Like no other, my love.
High Exarch Turalyon says: You don't have to go. You don't have to see her.
High Exarch Turalyon says: Each of you has a path to follow. If the Light wills that those paths intersect, they will. There's no need to force the hand of fate.
Alleria Windrunner says: It is time, Turalyon. I must see my homeland again with my own eyes... and hear from Sylvanas how she could ever wear the mantle of warchief.

Three Sisters ComicThree Sisters

Alleria easily resists the whispers telling her to kill Turalyon.

The Void urges Alleria to murder Sylvanas and, in their words, save the world.

Alleria: She missed both Sylvanas and Vereesa terribly. The Void is a tremendous gift. She has no regrets from stepping into the Dark Portal so long ago.

Vereesa: She believes the Blood Elves can be redeemed. She has made peace with losing Rhonin, her husband. She fears she will lose both Alleria and Sylvanas forever.

Sylvanas: Sometimes, she wishes she was still alive. She is proud to be Warchief of the Horde. She will never betray her sisters.

Alleria and Sylvanas lash out at each other, revealing their new forms.

The Void expresses its disappointment at Alleria, as she returns
to her family in Stormwind.

Battle for AzerothExile from SilvermoonSilbermond

Lor'themar Theron says: Please, call me Lor'themar. But where are my manners? Allow me to introduce another guest: Lady Alleria Windrunner, a hero of Silvermoon's past.
First Arcanist Thalyssra says: An unexpected honor, Lady Windrunner. Silgryn told me of your courage during the campaign on Argus.
Alleria Windrunner says: The honor is mine, First Arcanist. I do not mean to intrude upon your visit. Perhaps I should return another time.
Lor'themar Theron says: Nonsense. Whatever you came to say, you may say in front of our guests.
Alleria Windrunner says: As you wish. I come bearing an offer from High King Anduin Wr--
Lor'themar Theron says: I had hoped your visit was motivated by a love for Silvermoon. Instead, you come at the behest of the Alliance's boy-king. How disappointing.
Alleria Windrunner says: Cutting words, Lor'themar. Are they yours, I wonder, or has the dutiful ranger I knew become the mouthpiece of your warchief?
Lor'themar Theron says: You doubt my words, yet how can we trust your own? Do you deny that the lords of the Void whisper to you? Did you not surrender yourself to the shadows on Argus?
Alleria Windrunner says: I seems the offer I bring has been anticipated... and spurned. Very well. But before I leave, I have one request.
Alleria Windrunner says: It has been a thousand years since I set eyes upon the Sunwell. May I visit it once again?
Grand Magister Rommath says: I advise against it. We cannot trust that she will not--
Lor'themar Theron says: Whatever she has become, Alleria is a daughter of Quel'Thalas. I will not deny her pilgrimage to our most sacred site. First Arcanist, you and your retinue would be welcome to join us.

Erinnerung an den Sonnenbrunnen

First Arcanist Thalyssra says: The sense of power is palpable. As potent as the Nightwell, but of a different nature.
Lady Liadrin says: The Sunwell was corrupted by our enemies, but a naaru's sacrifice purified its waters. Now the essence of the Light sustains us.
Alleria Windrunner says: The Sunwell has changed... but its beauty remains. It has been so long.
---
Lor'themar Theron says: What is happening?
Grand Magister Rommath says: This is why I demanded that Umbric and his radicals be exiled. Anyone who treats with the Void is a danger to the Sunwell!
Alleria Windrunner says: I did not intend for my presence to...
Lor'themar Theron says: Enough! We need to cleanse this corruption before the well is lost!
---
Lor'themar Theron says: The Sunwell is secure. Your aid was invaluable, Thalyssra. And yours, champion.
Grand Magister Rommath says: Guards! Seize this saboteur.
Alleria Windrunner says: I will not be taken prisoner in my own homeland.
Lor'themar Theron: Enough! You will leave at once, Alleria. Accident or no, your presence poses a danger to Quel'Thalas. Go back to Stormwind. Silvermoon is no longer your home.

The Void Elf ExilesDie Geisterlande

Alleria Windrunner says: Magister Umbric! I am Alleria Windrunner.
Magister Umbric says: Alleria Windrunner!? How did... My, what an unexpected honor!
Magister Umbric says: My people and I heard tales of what transpired on Argus. As you might imagine, we have a keen interest in your interaction with the darkened naaru.
Alleria Windrunner says: Another time, perhaps. This champion and I have been searching for you. We know of your exile from Silvermoon and felt we shared common ground.
Magister Umbric says: Indeed! Like you, we believe the void can be used to defend life rather than consume it. We have made great progress, Lady Windrunner, but many mysteries remain.
Magister Umbric says: Take this cube, for instance. It is an ancient device, perhaps even predating life on Azeroth. It seems to have been locked, and we cannot yet open it.
Alleria Windrunner says: Careful, Umbric. Answers to such mysteries often come at a price.

Der Telogrusriss

Magister Umbric says: Alleria... <Player>... My people are free, but we have been... changed. And the voices...
Alleria Windrunner says: Durzaan tried to tear away your mortality. To make you like him--a slave to his hunger.
Alleria Windrunner says: But your fate is still your own, Umbric. I can teach you to quiet the whispers. To make the shadows serve you, instead of serving them.
Magister Umbric says: My arrogance was nearly our undoing. I dabbled with powers far beyond my control. If you will train us, Alleria. We will follow where you lead.
Alleria Windrunner says: I sense the powers at your command. They are... considerable. You would make valuable allies of the Alliance.
Magister Umbric says: Silvermoon turned its back on us long ago. Today we are reborn... and it is fitting that we walk a new path. From this day forth, the Alliance has our loyalty.
Alleria Windrunner says: And in turn, I pledge to aid you on your journey. <Player> and I will inform High King Wrynn of this news. Then I will return, so that we can begin your training.
Magister Umbric says: It will take some time for us to adjust to our new forms. We look forward to your return, Lady Windrunner. And <name>, you have our deepest thanks.

Battle for Lordaeron

Alleria and the Void Elves teleport the Gnomish machinery right into the Ruins of Lordaeron.

Halford Wyrmbane says: We will deal with Blood Prince Dreven soon, General. But this is a rare opportunity to cripple the Horde's military. Everything else must wait.
Shandris Feathermoon says: We can kill that gluttonous goblin any day! If Dreven escapes, we may never find him again.
Halford Wyrmbane says: Gallywix funds the Horde's war campaign and understands Azerite better than any of their other leaders.
Halford Wyrmbane says: Tactically speaking, he is their weak link. This is a rare opportunity. We must strike now.
Shandris Feathermoon says: I saw what Dreven was capable of, Wyrmbane. What if there are more like him?
Alleria Windrunner says: Forgive my interruption, but I believe you are both right.
Alleria Windrunner says: We cannot afford to allow either of these targets to escape us... and we do not need to.
Alleria opens a void portal behind her.
Alleria Windrunner says: My void elf forces can lead the effort to eliminate Gallywix.
Alleria Windrunner says: We will hunt him down and bring you his head. Shandris can focus on tracking that Blood Prince.
Halford Wyrmbane says: A wise strategy. I approve.
Shandris Feathermoon says: Thank you, Alleria. Your aid is most welcome.

Arator the Redeemer yells: Mother... do not listen to the whispers!
Alleria Windrunner yells: I have ignored them for too long. They speak the truth, Arator. And you will hear them. I will make you hear them.
Arator the Redeemer yells: No! I will never--aah!
Alleria Windrunner yells: The Light could not save them, and it will not save you!

"Shadows Rising" and Shadowlands

“Whatever your elders have told you, war is not glory. War is seeing people at their very worst and choosing to protect them anyway. Go back to your mother, and do not forget what I told you.”

What are the blue tattoos/markings on her about?

Kommentar von kirirumoji

Very nice story. Thank you very much!
But torturing people with light and void powers sounds really badass... I hope Anduin will make a right decision...
