Tyrande Whisperwind (IPA: ti 'ɹan də) is a Night Elf priestess from the Warcraft Universe. She first appeared in the video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos.
Tyrande fought during the First Invasion of the Burning Legion, and was present at the destruction of the original Well of Eternity. She was long the love interest of both Malfurion Stormrage and his brother Illidan, though it was Malfurion to whom she returned the affection. It could be suggested that her rejection of Illidan is what led him to betray the other Night Elves and recreate the Well of Eternity, though his addiction to arcane magic undoubtedly contributed.
When Malfurion Stormrage entered a deep sleep along with the other druids, Tyrande continued to keep watch over Kalimdor. It was she that encountered the humans and orcs that had come to flee from Lordaeron, and it was she that woke Malfurion to seek his guidance.
Against Malfurion's wishes, she also released Illidan from his imprisonment, killing several Wardens in the process (something for which Maiev Shadowsong has not forgiven her). Illidan's presence helped for a while before his desire for power (as well as intervention by Arthas) led him to consume the Skull of Gul'Dan.
Tyrande was present at the Battle of Mount Hyjal, in which the demon Archimonde was destroyed along with the World Tree, thus effectively ending the Second Invasion of the Burning Legion.
In the Frozen Throne, Tyrande and Malfurion were discussing the Burning Legion's defeat and the restoration of Ashenvale and the adjacent areas. However, the discussion was interrupted when Maiev Shadowsong's watcher (who escaped from Illidan's advance), sent the message that Maiev and her Watchers needed reinforcements. Tyrande, along with Malfurion, helped Maiev to recapture Illidan. Their search led them to Lordaeron, where they befriended Kael'thas of the Blood Elves. They agreed to assist Kael'thas in protecting his people from the marauding Scourge. Although they were successful, Tyrande risked her life to stop the undead, and was swept downriver. Maiev, who witnessed the event, lied about her death to Malfurion. Kael'thas, Maiev, and Malfurion went on to defeat the Naga, and managed to recapture Illidan, but Kael'thas revealed to Malfurion that Tyrande was, in fact, alive. Incapacitating Maiev to prevent her interference, he and Illidan left to help Tyrande. They succeeded, and Illidan managed to escape Maiev to Outland after bidding farewell to Tyrande and Malfurion.
Tyrande currently rules the Sisters of Elune from the temple of Elune in Darnassus, and is one of the two faction leaders of the Night Elves, the other being Arch-Druid Fandral Staghelm, although it is Tyrande who is officially their leader.
World of Warcraft Status
Tyrande is one of the most powerful "Boss" characters on Azeroth in Blizzard's MMORPG World of Warcraft. As an Alliance leader, she is always a potential target for an enterprising group of Horde players, although because of her power and the fact that she lives in Darnassus, one of the largest and most heavily guarded cities in the game, defeating Tyrande is no simple feat. Even though Darnassus is one of the least player-populated areas and, without human players defending it, is easy to take over, to take down Tyrande would still require a very large group of very skilled players, each of whom could be no less than level 70. Even then, the raid would have a strong chance of failure, as the organization required due to the complexity of the raid would be almost unattainable. Like any other very powerful boss, such as the Horde Warchief Thrall, defeating her would bring great recognition and other benefits to the players involved.

Tichondrius is a fictional character in the fictional Warcraft universe. He was the original leader of the Dreadlords sent to police the Lich King, Ner'zhul, by the Burning Legion.
History
Overseer of the Scourge
Tichondrius the Darkener was first in the ranks of the vampiric Nathrezim (by the human tongue of Azeroth known as Dreadlords), and served as a royal messenger to the demonlords of the Burning Legion, under his master, Archimonde. He originally resided in the Twisting Nether and returned there occasionally to commune with the second and third Dreadlords; Anetheron and Mephistroth, respectively.
After Mannoroth's failure with the Orcs during the Second War, Tichondrius was ordered to watch over the Lich King, Ner'Zhul in Northrend, and ensure that the Undead Scourge worked towards its goal; preparing the way for the return of the Burning Legion into Azeroth. He oversaw the early years of the Scourge, the War of the Spider, and the eventual Plague of Undeath that spread south into Lordaeron. There, he sent a lesser Dreadlord, Mal'Ganis, to oversee the Scourge agent Kel'Thuzad as he infected the northern areas of the kingdom. Ironically, he became commander of the man that killed them both, as well.
Advisor to Arthas
When Arthas Menethil joined the Scourge, Tichondrius acted as his overseer, ordering Arthas to rally the Cult of the Damned and gather Kel'Thuzad's remains. Tichondrius oversaw Arthas during the destruction of Quel'Thalas though he did not assist the Scourge. When Arthas pointed this out, Tichondrius replied, "I am here to ensure that you do your job, little human, not do it for you.
Tichondrius also appeared after the reanimated Kel'Thuzad summoned Archimonde into the world at Dalaran. To Archimonde, the Lich King had served its purpose and was irrelevant now that the Legion had arrived on Azeroth. Thus, among the first orders Archimonde gave Tichondrius was to take control of the Scourge. Ner'zhul, however, had known of the inevitable treachery of the Legion and thus had planned for the eventual removal of his former overseers.
Kalimdor
Tichondrius and the Legion crushed the remaining northern kingdoms easily. He left three lesser Dreadlords, Balnazzar, Detheroc, and Varimathras, to control the Scourge in Lordaeron and left with the rest of the Legion to attack the Night Elves in Kalimdor. Their surprise attack was a complete success. The Night Elves were unable to hold back the onslaught of the Scourge and the Legion together. The one obstacle they observed would be the demigod, Cenarius.
Tichondrius informed the Pit Lord Mannoroth that his failed, former tools, the Orcs, were found in the forests of Northern Kalimdor. Though Mannoroth was immediately insensed at the reminder of his humilation and intended to crush them immediately in recompense, Archimonde ordered his tolerance. Tichondrius, displaying typical Dreadlord skill at manipulation, suggested to Mannoroth that he regain control of his Orcs. By creating a fountain of demonic blood in the forests, the Orcs would be drawn to its power and be corrupted by it, killing Cenarius for the Legion. The plan was a success, the Warsong Clan, led by Grom Hellscream, drank from the pool and became Chaos Orcs.
Tichondrius oversaw the corruption of Felwood and Ashenvale Forest. There, he gained control of the powerful demonic artifact, The Skull of Gul'dan, and he settled himself in the dark forests of Felwood. He took control of the wayward Satyrs and united them to aid the Legion along with the Chaos Orcs and the Scourge.
After Illidan Stormrage had escaped from his imprisonment, he was confronted by the Lich King's agent, Arthas. Arthas told Illidan of the skull of Gul'dan, and of Tichondrius' presence nearby. Illidan consumed the skull and with his newfound power, killed Tichondrius. Thus, the greatest and most cruel of the Dreadlords to ever roam Azeroth was vanquished. With his death, the Lich King had stymied the Legion's efforts, eventually contributing to its defeat and the Scourge's liberation from the Legion.
Succession
After the death of Tichondrius, the Second of the Dreadlords, Anetheron ruled in his stead. Anetheron and Archimonde were both killed shortly thereafter at the battle of Mount Hyjal. Mephistroth, the third, remained in the Twisting Nether and became ruler of the Dreadlords.
The Dreadlords in Lordaeron, once finding out about the Legion's demise, tried to take control of the Scourge, and succeeded in doing so to an extent when Illidan attacked Northrend. They made the mistake of trying to kill the undead Sylvanas Windrunner for not joining their cause. Sylvanas then killed Balnazzar and Detheroc and gained the loyalty of Varimathras. The remaining Dreadlords were absorbed into the Scourge as servants of the Lich King.
Abilities
Tichondrius only appeared in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. He had abilities greater than standard Dreadlords, and a unique appearance among them. He also seemed to wield the element of fire, as he held an Orb of Fire. The rest of his dreadlords had a chosen element of their own, as well.

Sylvanas Windrunner is a fictional character in the fantasy Warcraft Universe, created by Blizzard Entertainment and voiced by Piera Coppola.
Sylvanas was a dedicated and loyal Ranger General of the High Elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas but was tragically transformed into a Banshee after being killed by the Death Knight Arthas and is now known as the Dark Lady, Queen of the Forsaken.
In-game biography
Sylvanas led the High Elf Ranger Corps in defending the borderlands of Quel'Thalas from the invading Undead Scourge while simultaneously attempting to summon reinforcements from the elf capital city of Silvermoon during the Third War. Though Sylvanas mocked him from the outset, Arthas crushed her initial defense at the Outer Elfgate, driving her further into Quel'Thalas. After destroying a bridge on the only route deeper into elvish territory and taunting Arthas further, Sylvanas moved deeper into Elvish territory to obtain more reinforcements. However, Arthas was able to bypass this problem by using goblin transports to fly over the river, where he obtained the pieces of the Key of the Three Moons, which he used to open the Inner Elfgate after defeating the resistance that stood in the way. Sylvanas then retreated back further to her main base near the elvish capital of Silvermoon. Again, she taunted Arthas and continued to attack him while sending messengers directly to Silvermoon to get reinforcements. Arthas, who had become a Death Knight in service to the Lich King Ner'zhul, stopped the messengers and defeated her small group of resistance before moving on to crush Silvermoon and the High Elf civilization. When her base was leveled and all of her forces slain, Sylvanas stood alone against Arthas. Even when she knew she was beaten, she mocked Arthas by saying "Finish it; I deserve... a clean death." However, Arthas was already enraged by Sylvanas' persistent taunts and her stubborn refusal to surrender. He retorted "After all you've put me through, woman, the last thing I'll give you is the peace of death." Then Sylvanas realized that her doom was sealed and proclaimed "No, you wouldn't dare!" Arthas killed Sylvanas on the spot and using his dark magics granted by the Lich King, prevented her soul from escaping and raised her from the dead as a Banshee. Now a mindless killer in the service of the Lich King, he used her to aid in the destruction of the civilization she once protected. For the remainder of Warcraft III, the Lich King used Sylvanas to help destroy Lordaeron and claim it for the Scourge.
In the aftermath of the Burning Legion's defeat at Mt. Hyjal, Arthas, Kel'Thuzad and Sylvanas began eliminating the last remnants of human resistance in Lordaeron. Sylvanas initially remained as one of the Scourge, a slave to the Lich King's will; but regained her will along with many of her undead comrades as the Lich King weakened during the events of the Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne expansion. The Lich King's energies were escaping from his icy prison; for though Illidan Stormrage's first attempt to destroy the Lich King had failed, the Frozen Throne had been fractured in the devastation. Sylvanas held a burning hatred for Arthas as a result of the part he played in destroying Quel'Thalas and trapping her in undeath as a 'monstrosity', subjecting her to eternal agony.
The Dark Lady ambushed Arthas as he was preparing to go to the aid of his master, the Lich King. She and her Banshee sisters set a trap for the fallen prince outside the ruins of Lordaeron City, but the timely rescue of Kel'Thuzad allowed Arthas to escape and continue his trek to Northrend. She ran off, swearing she would never stop hunting Arthas.
After the unsuccessful assassination attempt, Sylvanas turned her attention back toward lordship over the Plaguelands. She had coordinated attacks against Arthas' forces along with the Dread Lords Balnazzar, Detheroc and Varimathras, but that alliance quickly fell apart after the Death Knight's escape to Northrend: Sylvanas was only interested in pursuing her vengeance against Arthas, not squabbling for power like the Dreadlords. She captured Varimathras and, in exchange for his life, he pledged his allegiance to Sylvanas and assisted her in eliminating the other two nathrezim. Her rule over the Tirisfal Glades cemented, Sylvanas established an undead faction known as the Forsaken and completed the tunnels under Lordaeron City started by Arthas. This realm is now called the Undercity.
Currently the Forsaken's Royal Apothecary Society is engineering a new plague that will wipe out the Scourge, and plans to test it in Northrend which is likely to be a long horde quest chain.
Many more details on Sylvanas were revealed in the next game in the series, World of Warcraft. With the release of The Burning Crusade Expansion Pack, she has become an ally once again with the High Elf race as they've joined the horde, although they've now coined themselves Blood Elves in honor of their destroyed realm, Silvermoon City.
The current avatar being used for Sylvanas Windunner in World of Warcraft is a modified Night Elf model. Sylvanas is in fact a raised High Elf. Many requests have been made to Blizzard to correct this but it is unknown if Blizzard will make the correction .
Abilities and relations
Even as an undead, Sylvanas is considered to be the best archer on Azeroth. She claims that she can easily hit a bird in midflight straight in the eye. Though her proficiency in magic is strong, even being capable of performing mind control, she is more inclined to use her bow and arrows in combat. She prefers hit-and-run tactics to all-out assaults. However, as the leader of the Forsaken, she is now very unlikely to risk her own safety by leading an army.
Sylvanas is sister to Alleria Windrunner, hero of Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal; and Vereesa Windrunner, hero of Day of the Dragon.
She has also been called "The Dark Rose of the Forsaken".

In the fictional Warcraft universe, Shandris Feathermoon is the general of the Night Elf Sentinels.
Shandris Feathermoon, along with Tyrande Whisperwind and the other Sentinels, spent her life protecting the forests of Kalimdor from intruders and defilers. Shandris appears in the Night Elf campaign of Warcraft III, where she and Tyrande had begun to notice Humans and Orcs moving into the forests of Ashenvale. Suspecting that they were up to no good, Tyrande ordered her sentinels to pillage some of the intruders' bases.
In the second mission of the Night Elf campaign, Tyrande had noticed the demons taking over Ashenvale, and she had fled to a Night Elf encampment nearby, where she met Shandris.
After that, Shandris was not seen until the battle of Mount Hyjal. Shandris helped defend first the Human base, then the Horde's Base, and finally the Night Elf base, as each was overrun by the Burning Legion. Although Shandris does not appear in The Frozen Throne, she does appear in World of Warcraft as the commander of Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas.
Background
At the time of the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth, Shandris was only about 16 years old. During the retreat from Suramar, Shandris encountered Tyrande for the first time; awestruck by the Head Priestess of Elune, Shandris followed Tyrande everywhere after their initial meeting. Despite Shandris's relative youth, Tyrande did not have the heart to send her away, and Shandris was thus allowed to ride with the Priestesses of the Moon. Neither she nor Malfurion Stormrage were able to prevent Tyrande's capture by the satyr Xavius. She did, however, manage to shoot an arrow that struck Xavius in the shoulder, thus providing Malfurion the opportunity to literally turn Xavius into wood allowing the Night Elves to finally dispose of one of their most dangerous enemies. During this time, Shandris also seemed to have a romantic interest in Jarod Shadowsong, with the feelings reciprocated by Jarod to at least some extent. However, with Jarod's disappearance, it seems that the beginnings of a relationship between the two never was able to come to fruition.
