Blizzard Entertainment is proud to present the latest entry in the Leaders of Azeroth short story series: Tyrande & Malfurion: Seeds of Faith!

As the High Priestess of Elune and leader of the kaldorei, Tyrande Whisperwind has weathered millennia of world-shaking battles and crossed blades with the worst of the demonic Burning Legion.  Throughout these trials, she has relied upon both the soothing light of the moon goddess Elune and the support of her love Malfurion Stormrage to see her through any hardship.

But the Cataclysm is like nothing Tyrande has seen before, and the chaos enveloping the world threatens to break the iron will of the night elf leader. In these uncertain nights, Tyrande will need the strength to lead her people through the darkness alone.

Tyrande sighed and placed her hand on his shoulder reassuringly. "Your courage and steadfastness have brought us this news, Morthis. Thank you for that. This is the first we have heard from the mainland since this tragedy struck. We will ask no more of you now. Please, rest."

The scout nodded and walked out in slow, tired strides.

Malfurion turned to his wife. Her beautiful, nearly ageless face was stricken with worry, fear, and a trace of the immovable determination he had come to recognize over their long courtship.

"There were five victims at Rut'theran," she said. "None whom I could save."

"Tyrande..." Malfurion enclosed her hands in his comfortingly.

"I have to go to her, Mal. Shandris is like a daughter to me." She paused. "Perhaps the only daughter I will ever have."
