Silgryn

Silgryn (pronounced "SIHL-grihn") is a nightborne spell-fencer (swordsman) located in Suramar. He is initially a guard in Suramar City, patrolling the outer city with his pet owl Kal, before joining First Arcanist Thalyssra's rebellion against Grand Magistrix Elisande.

History
Though a member of the Duskwatch Silgryn, was loyal to Thalyssra's cause to liberate the Nightborne from the grip of the Burning Legion and Elisande. After aiding heroes in gaining the Masquerade mask, he worked with Ly'leth Lunastre to spread discord among the nightborne and aiding the Nightfallen. He was an acquaintance of Spellblade Aluriel and Thoramir, Second Blade of Elisande, and was skilled enough to have held the latter's position had he remained loyal to the magistrix. Silgryn's conscience could not allow him to do so.

During the insurrection, he joins the Nightfallen, along with the forces of Tyrande Whisperwind and Lady Liadrin, in invading Suramar City. He also works with Arluelle, instructing her in swordplay. He then leads the rebels against Rozzeleth.

Argus
Silgryn later traveled to Bladefist Bay in Durotar to join the sail on The Sunstrider to the Exodar and from there to Argus aboard the draenei's new dimensional ship, the Vindicaar. Once there, he notes how the fate of the planet once again reaffirmed for him that rejecting the Legion's offer was the right path, and speaks to Liadrin about how seeing Argus makes him realize the fate that almost befell his people. He asks how Liadrin's people found their own path forward, to which she responds that the Horde has become allies with which together the blood elves have struggled through dark times and find strength. Silgryn thanks her and says that she has given him much to ponder.

Silgryn can also be found at Darkfall Ridge where he fights demons seeking to reach the Vindicaar.

The Horde


After Elisande's demise, he and The Nightfallen relocated to the Nighthold, where they would see to the restoration of Suramar from the civil war and demonic occupation, under the rule of First Arcanist Thalyssra and the Nightfallen. Shortly before the Fourth War, Thalyssra chose to seek new allies for the nightborne as they reentered the world after thousands of years of isolation.

The First Arcanist would meet with Lady Liadrin of Silvermoon and the Horde in order to discuss her people's potential entry into the faction. At the Estate of the First Arcanist, the two discussed the details of this, with Silgryn and several others also present. Thalyssra subsequently accepted Liadrin's invitation to visit Silvermoon City, and traveled there accompanied by Silgryn and Valtrois. After meeting with the blood elf Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron and the high elf hero Alleria Windrunner, the nightborne trio would take part in a visit to the mythical Sunwell on the Isle of Quel'Danas.

There, prompted by Alleria Windrunner's connection to the Void, those gathered and the Sunwell itself were attacked by the forces of Nether-Prince Durzaan. Thalyssra, Valtrois, and Silgryn aided the others in defending against the assailants, and eventually managed to close the rift through which they arrived. In the wake of the incident, Thalyssra would pledge the loyalty of Suramar and the nightborne to the Horde's cause.

Silgryn would afterward remain in the Nighthold with the other Nightfallen leadership, and can be met by new nightborne adventurers.

 * Vindicaar gossips
 * These lightforged draenei have spent lifetimes fighting the Legion. Perhaps even I could learn a thing or two from them. Perhaps.
 * If only Oculeth were here. He would have had a field day studying this ship... And probably have figured out a way to destroy it by now. You are right, probably for the best that he did not come with us.
 * I do hope that Arluelle is keeping up her lessons. I gave her a small list of exercises to do every day. Interested? It's quite simple. One hundred push ups. One hundred sit ups. One hundred squats. A ten thousand nine hundred thirty-six yard run.


 * Nighthold
 * The Duskwatch will do well having Victoire in its ranks once more.
 * I am glad to see that Arluelle continues her training. She appears stronger already.

It is a pity the lightforged draenei did not join the Horde, they are quite formidable opponents.
