Formerly a magister under the command of Kael'thas Sunstrider, servitor of Illidan, Voren'thal led an army of blood elves against the Sha'tar and their Aldor allies who had reclaimed the shattered Shattrath City. But as the Aldor vindicators and exarchs prepared to defend their city, the unexpected happened - the blood elves put down their weapons before the draenei defenders. Voren'thal stepped forward and demanded an audience with the master of the Sha'tar, the naaru A'dal.
