Aeda Brightdawn

Aeda Brightdawn is a blood elf warlock who came to with the Sunsworn. She joins the Horde adventurer as a follower, and is one of the few followers who can accompany the player through Draenor with her Bodyguard trait.

History
While traveling to, Aeda's party was raided by the Iron Horde; though she escaped, she was in no state to prove herself to the Gatekeepers of Auchindoun through combat. Too wounded to join Lady Liadrin and her fellow Sunsworn at Auchindoun, she leaves to recuperate at the Horde commander's garrison, taking up residence as a follower afterwards. She hopes that Liadrin will understand.

Aeda's brother was killed on Outland by the Ambassador Hellmaw. When Hellmaw makes an appearance in, Aeda requests that the adventurer brings her along to kill him.

She can also be seen watching fights between garrison commanders in the Coliseum of Highmaul.

As a bodyguard
Aeda is a demonology warlock. If assigned to the garrison's Barracks, she can accompany the player as a bodyguard with the following abilities:


 * Agonize
 * Sacrificial Pact
 * Always active.
 * Acquired at Bodyguard level 2.
 * Summon Felhunter - Summons a Felhunter under your command.
 * Acquired at Bodyguard level 3 and the completion of Settling Grievances.
 * Summon Felhunter - Summons a Felhunter under your command.
 * Acquired at Bodyguard level 3 and the completion of Settling Grievances.

Aeda will also taunt and tank, which can be a useful trait for some players. She shines when dealing with large packs of weak-to-moderately powerful enemies, or paired with a class capable of healing her, since her survivability against stronger foes is, like the other bodyguards, somewhat unremarkable. Since Aeda counts as a player unit, players can cast Blessing of Protection and similar spells on her, making her an excellent companion for paladins, priests, shamans, and others.

Aeda's summoning ritual makes her a particularly useful bodyguard if a group finds itself lacking a warlock.

Speculation

 * Judging by her surname, she can be related to Skymaster Brightdawn and Galathia Brightdawn.
 * The brother she mentions may be Caledis Brightdawn, a member of the Scryers who was stationed on Outland. However, it should be considered that Hellmaw would probably be killed before adventurers would meet Caledis in Netherstorm if the order of zones is taken into consideration.
