The Shade's Tales[]
At each moonwell (provided you are on the quests indicated), the shade will appear and speak to you.
At Shadowglen[]
- Shade of the Kaldorei fades into existence as you approach, nodding a subtle greeting.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Much has changed for our people since the Battle of Mount Hyjal.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Nordrassil lies a pale shadow of what it once was, its power used to defeat Archimonde and drive back the Burning Legion.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Our immortality-the very essence of our beings!-was lost.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: The Betrayer was freed from his prison, and Shan'do Stormrage disappeared into the emerald dream.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: A dark time for all.
- The Shade of the Kaldorei closes its eyes and fades away.
At Dolanaar[]
- Shade of the Kaldorei smiles at you knowingly as it approaches.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: With Malfurion Stormrage gone, the druids were left in disarray and in desperate need of a new leader.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm roused the druids and convinced the Circle of Ancients in Darkshore that it was time for our people to rebuild.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: In an effort to regain immortality for our people, and with the approval of the Circle, Staghelm and the most powerful druids grew Teldrassil, upon whose boughs you now stand.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Though we have our new home, our immortal lives have not been restored.
- The Shade of the Kaldorei closes its eyes and fades away.
At Starbreeze Village[]
- Shade of the Kaldorei stares into the moonwell, lost in distant memories.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: The Arch Druid approached the dragons for their blessings, as the dragons had placed on Nordrassil in ancient times.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: But Nozdormu, Lord of Time, refused to give his blessing, chiding the druid for his arrogance.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: In agreement, Alexstrasza also refused Staghelm, and without her blessing, Teldrassil's growth has been flawed and unpredictable.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Staghelm retreated to his enclave in Darnassus, ever seeking a new direction by which to bless Teldrassil, and restore the immortality of our people.
- The Shade of the Kaldorei closes its eyes and fades away.
At the Oracle Glade[]
- Shade of the Kaldorei approaches the moonwell slowly, a familiar, thoughtful look upon its face.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Over time, Staghelm only grew more disconnected from our people.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Some pose that he blames us, his people, for the loss of his son, long ago during the War of the Shifting Sands.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Others cite rumors of his escalating conflicts with Tyrande Whisperwind, the shining light of our people, our leader in Darnassus.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: But many druids of the Cenarion Circle stand firm that he wants only what is best for all the Kaldorei, and serve him unerringly towards that end.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Fandral Staghelm carries the burden of our sins and our follies, and in so doing deserves the respect of us all.
- The Shade of the Kaldorei closes its eyes and fades away.
At the Pools of Arlithrien[]
- Shade of the Kaldorei rests on the side of the moonwell in thoughtful contemplation.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: In weeks past, all of those living atop Teldrassil have found their memories blurry, as if time itself seized a portion of their lives.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: We break from this haze to find that Fandral Staghelm and many of his closest followers have disappeared without a word.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: But in his place, Shan'do Stormrage awoke from the dream and returned to his beloved Tyrande Whisperwind.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: And with his return came Alexstrasza and Ysera, to at long last offer their blessings upon Teldrassil.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Though a small corruption lingers, desperately longing to be cleansed, the boughs of Teldrassil itself seem changed. Growth has begun anew.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: None know what to expect next, but with Malfurion and Tyrande reunited, a new hope dawns on the Kaldorei.
- Shade of the Kaldorei says: Hope for lasting relief from the shadow that has been cast on our people for so long.
- The Shade of the Kaldorei closes its eyes and fades away.
