Elerethe Renferal

Archdruid Elerethe Renferal is an Alliance quest giver located behind the Dun Baldar North Bunker in Alterac Valley. She was an Archdruid of the Cenarion Circle, and an old friend of Malfurion Stormrage and Hamuul Runetotem.

Biography
Elerethe was present when Hamuul Runetotem attended his first meeting of the Cenarion Circle, after which she and Hamuul would form a close friendship over the years working as druids, and was an old friend of Hamuul's teacher Malfurion Stormrage. She had brought with her a simple, ceramic goblet that was glazed blue and etched with runes which had survived the Great Sundering. It was filled with water from the Temple of Elune and then presumably drunk from by at least some if not all the attendees.

Stormrage
Shortly before the War Against the Nightmare, Fandral Staghelm called for a convocation and Elerethe was invited there alongside Naralex. They were partners in regret, even if the reasons for each were different.

Elerethe had sought to save the flora and fauna of Alterac Valley during the last war between the Alliance and the Horde, but had been unable to prevent the carnage caused by not only two fighting armies, but an orc shaman. After the war, she had sworn to restore the valley. Even after several years, she was still trying. She was present during the wedding of Malfurion and Tyrande.

The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm
Archdruid Elerethe Renferal was one of the night elf druids Hamuul Runetotem reached out to in an attempt to mend relations between the Alliance and the Horde following a brutal attack on Sentinels in Ashenvale. She was present at the meeting with Hamuul alongside four other night elf druids, and four other tauren druids in Ashenvale, and though the meeting initially began well, she was killed by orcs from the Twilight's Hammer who were deliberately disguised as members of the Horde.

After she had shifted to cat form and disemboweled one orc, another had impaled her to the ground with a polearm, ending her life, and ruining the attempted reconciliation. She died believing that Hamuul had some hand in leading her and the other elven druids into an ambush. The true nature of the attack was eventually discovered, although it is not known how or when this happened.

Legion
After she died, Elerethe's consciousness apparently resided in the Emerald Nightmare, trapped in an existence of endless fear, confusion, and hatred. Twisted and broken, she believed anyone who crosses her path to be responsible for her tragic end. Trapped in this cycle of madness, she set her sights on the adventurers fighting against Xavius and the corruption of the Nightmare. She was fought within a twisted nightmare version of Mulgore.

After Xavius is killed, Elerethe's redeemed spirit is found within the Emerald Dream.

The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm
''Renferal whirled for just an instant to affix Hamuul with a stare of fury and loathing that pierced his heart as surely as any spear. "We came in good faith!" was all she said before she transformed into a cat and launched herself on the nearest orc.''

 * Malfurion considered her "a druid who was as a sister" and resolved to tend to Alterac Valley in her name.
 * At some point, her Alterac name was changed from Arch Druid Renferal to Archdruid Renferal.
