Full History

After several years of reported madness among settlers, the Highborne moved north. An underlying evil was theorized, not identified. ” That account follows Dath'Remar Sunstrider as its main perspective. Historical account: high elves settle Tirisfal, report madness, and leave; the cause is NOT established. Relocation northward. The exiled Highborne founded a settlement in the tranquil glades during their eastern journey.

The original-era reading also carries this qualification: Original cause unproven. Later Zakajz/Tyr narrative excluded.

The story of the Highborne leaving Tirisfal should not be made into a confirmed consequence of Zakajz or Kith’ix. The original elven historical account reports unease and madness among the settlers, while suggestions of something sleeping below the glades remain conjecture. Later accounts of Tyr’s tomb and C’Thraxxi provide context for ancient dangers, but do not retroactively prove which force troubled Dath’Remar’s people.
