| − | '''Isle of Quel'Danas''' (also known as '''Sunwell Isle''' or simply '''Quel'Danas'''){{Citation needed}}<!-- Cited as LoC - but what page? --> is a [[zone]] north of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] added in [[patch 2.4]], and is one of three areas that make up [[Quel'Thalas]]. It is the first outdoor zone added to the game via a [[patch]], and includes many [[daily quest]]s as well as the last [[raid]] and [[dungeon]] content released prior to ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The zone's highlights include the [[Sunwell Plateau]], where [[Kil'jaeden (tactics)|Kil'jaeden]] is being summoned; [[Magisters' Terrace]], the final resting place of [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]]; and [[Sun's Reach]], a [[town]] reclaimed by a combination of [[Aldor]] and [[Scryers]] forces known as the [[Shattered Sun Offensive]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == History == |
||
| − | Seven thousand years ago, when Quel'Thalas was founded, the magisters of the new elven kingdom created a mystic fountain at a convergence of ley lines on this island off the northern coast of [[Eversong Woods]], utilizing a vial of water stolen from the [[Well of Eternity]] sometime before the [[Sundering]]. As a result, the island - which became known as Quel'Danas - is also known as the Sunwell Isle. The Sunwell's power allowed the [[high elves|elves]] to build their cities and shape their land, as well as defend their city; during the [[Second War]], the elven magisters used its power to erect a shield around [[Silvermoon City]] to hold off the [[Horde]]'s invasion.<ref>{{ref book |author= Rosenberg, Aaron |authorlink= Aaron Rosenberg |title= [[Tides of Darkness]] |isbn= 978-1-4165-3990-2 |pages=228}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Separated from the mainland by a channel of the [[North Sea]], this island nonetheless came under attack during the [[Third War]], when the corrupted Prince [[Arthas Menethil]] led the [[Scourge]] in its slaughtering rampage through Quel'Thalas. Using the power of [[Frostmourne]], Arthas had created a bridge of ice linking Quel'Danas to the mainland, allowing him and his forces to reach the Sunwell Isle and carry out their dark mission to resurrect [[Kel'Thuzad]].<ref>{{ref book |author= Golden, Christie |authorlink= Christie Golden |title = [[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]] |isbn= 978-1439-15760-2 |pages=236}}</ref> The [[Dead Scar]], the path of Blight that splits Quel'Thalas in two — marking the route that Arthas' legions took to the Sunwell — abruptly ends about halfway across the island, near the entrance to the [[Sunwell Plateau]]. The Sunwell was befouled with the resurrection of Kel'Thuzad, and the island left to rot as the Scourge continued its relentless march through northern Lordaeron. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After the merciless campaign of Arthas, the essence of the sunwell endured, kept hidden by those who sought to protect it. Today, nearly six years after its destruction, the [[Sunwell]] has been reactivated by the power-mad [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]], and is being used as a mystic portal to summon his master, the eredar overlord [[Kil'jaeden]]. At the end of the Dead Scar, near the still-shattered structures at its edge, eredar warlocks and wrathguards stand vigilant, and even some remnants of the Scourge's forces remain. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In response to the threat presented by Prince Kael'thas' operations on the Sunwell Isle, the [[Sha'tar]] — masters of [[Shattrath City]] — rallied the draenei priests of the [[Aldor]] and the blood elf magisters of the [[Scryers]] into a unified army, and dispatched them to Azeroth to end Kael'thas' nefarious scheme. This army, known as the [[Shattered Sun Offensive]], has claimed the outpost of [[Sun's Reach]] and begins to retake the island from Kael'thas' legions. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Quel'Danas is also the island refuge of the blood elf dragonhawks. It is home to the aeries where the [[dragonhawk]]s and [[giant eagle]]s originated and are bred for the elite [[windrider]]s. [[Aquel'Luer'Thala]] is the blood elf in charge of the units stationed on the island.<ref>{{ref book |author=Arthaus |title=[[Lands of Conflict]] |isbn=9781588469601 |pages=113}}</ref> |

||
| − | During the [[Quel'Delar]] quest chain, we are given a brief insight into the current status of the isle. [[Silvermoon Worker]]s can be seen repairing various locations on the island, and [[Halduron Brightwing]] is seen inspecting the [[Warden of the Sunwell|Blood Elven guards]] protecting the renewed Sunwell. Quel'Danas seems to have been completely reclaimed, and all [[hostile]] mobs including the [[demons]], [[Naga]], [[Scourge]] and [[Dawnblade (blood elves)|Dawnblade]] Blood Elves have been phased out. |
||
| − | |||
| − | With Quel'Delar in tow, heroes are tasked with gaining entry to the Sunwell and submerging the ancient blade within its holy power. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Access to the [[Sunwell]] itself is policed by the [[Ranger-General of Silvermoon]], [[Halduron Brightwing]], and only those with his personal permission are allowed entry.<ref>http://www.wowpedia.org/Warden_of_the_Sunwell</ref> |

||
| − | |||
| − | === Getting There === |
||
| − | |||
| − | Players cannot reach the Isle by riding or walking, due to an invisible barrier that lies some distance north of Silvermoon City. The most common means of access are via flight path, portal, or various summoning spells. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The flight path to the zone from Ironforge, Hatchet Hills, Light's Hope, and Silvermoon City is learned automatically at level 65. After a certain phase of reclaiming the island (as indicated by the number of completed daily quests), a portal will be opened between Quel'Danas and [[Shattrath City]], allowing easy transport to the island. The portal from Shattrath to Quel'Danas is located in the alcove behind where [[Exarch Nasuun]] stands and drops off the player in the [[Sun's Reach Sanctum]]. Complete the daily quest {{quest|Know Your Ley Lines}} to collect an item that allows a one-time-use teleport back to Shattrath. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Alliance flight path from Ironforge to the Isle of Quel'Danas is distinctive among flight paths in that once the gryphon flies past the front gates of Ironforge the gryphon and rider are instantly teleported to the edge of the Isle of Quel'Danas zone and then fly the rest of the way normally. This saves the rider from a very lengthy flight. |
