High Botanist Tel'arn is a nightborne located in the Nighthold.

Adventure Guide[]

From his youth, the nightborne Tel'arn was fascinated by plant life: the resilience and adaptability of weeds, the ability of simple grass to harness the power of the sun, the way a tree may be divided into two, or two branches grafted into one. Aided by the energies of the Nightwell, he has transformed himself to the point that he is scarcely recognizable as a nightborne elf. He now considers himself something far, far greater.

Overview[]

High Botanist Tel'arn uses Arcane, Nature, and Solar magic to defend his garden. When he reaches 75% and 50% health remaining he divides his energy, creating empowered forms that focus in a particular school of magic. This division removes High Botanist Tel'arn's access to that school of magic, but the empowered form gains new abilities.

Quotes[]

This section contains information that needs to be cleaned up. Reason: Some lines need bullet points.

Intro: Suramar owes its beauty to my blooms! I alone have mastered the delicate intertwining of magic into nature's grand cycle.

Aggro: How dare you disturb my pristine gardens!; It seems I've a bit of pruning to do!

Solar Collapse: Careful not to singe the buds as you burn!

Parasitic Fetter: One garden pest deserves another!

Controlled Chaos: At least power is something your feeble minds comprehend!

Plasma Spheres: When the light dies... so do you!

Grace of Nature: Nature nourishes those who truly appreciate it.

Call of Night: Night falls upon you!

Stage Two: Nightosis: Wither in my heat, little weeds!; The sun warms my beauties... but it shall scorch your bones!

Stage Three: Pure Forms: Can you hope to stand against the three primal forces that shape life itself?; Now you face three aspects of life, even as your cycle is about to end!

Player Death: More food for the worms!; Your corpse will make a fine compost!; You'll make a fine seedling for my power!

Wipe: Wherever will I store all this fertilizer?; Death is merely part of the great cycle.

Death: A bitter... harvest...; Someone... water... my plants...

Outro: Archmage Khadgar yells: So the palace gardener turned himself into a plant?; First Arcanist Thalyssra yells: What can I say? He took his job seriously.

Unused: Rage... against the dying of the light!
