Darkshore has been the home of night elves for thousands of years. It was the location of such wondrous cities such as Mathystra, Bashal'Aran, and Ameth'Aran. Although these cities were built when the elves were at the height of their arcane power, they eventually fell prey to the corruption of the Highborne. Betrayed by their own noble caste, the night elves were forced to either join up, flee, or be killed. The cities of what would eventually become Darkshore were abandoned and fell into ruin.
After the Great Sundering, a cataclysmic event that tore a rift straight through the old Kalimdor, a rift that filled up with water and became the great sea, some night elves settled on the new Kalimdor's northern shores, near the ruins of their old cities. There they lived in peace for thousands of years, cultivating shoreline activities such as boating and fishing, and building smaller settlements along the coast. During the Third War, Darkshore escaped the heaviest battles, which took place nearer Mount Hyjal, and a small number of night elves later returned to the shore. Those who did not move on to the wondrous new world tree Teldrassil settled in the village of Auberdine and started to use it as a ferry outpost to Teldrassil and the human lands. The remainder of the seaside was left in ruins, soon to be overrun by creatures of the woods and other, more sinister forces. |
