The Blood Elves came about after the evil Arthas and his undead Scourge destroyed Quel’Thalas. They are among the few survivors of this invasion. The elves who managed to escape from the Scourge onslaught have worked together to get back their homeland. Led by Prince Kael’thas Sunstrider, the Blood Elves have been gathering new sources of arcane magic to improve their defense against the dark Scourge. The Blood Elves are known for their Magic Resistance, Arcane Torrent and Arcane Affinity.

Among the most obvious characteristics of the Trolls are their brutality and dark religion. These creatures that have inhabited the South Seas islands are characterized as barbarous and credulous.
