    How Did Dath'Remar Sunstrider Die?

    Dath'Remar Sunstrider was the first in the bloodline of High Elf (now Blood Elf) rulers that supposedly ended with the death of Kael'thas Sunstrider. I was looking over the WoWpedia page for him today and noticed that it actually said nothing about his death. With as long as the Blood Elves/High Elves live it is a surprise that Dath'Remar is no longer living unless something dramatic happened to him. (Malfurion and Tyrande are still alive and they were in the War of the Ancients back in the day along with Dath'Remar.) Just wondering if this is anywhere in the lore or if I might have missed something.

    I'd be disappointed if it is no where to be found in the lore because this is quite a big figure in the case of the Blood Elves.

    Well, Malfurion and Tyrande got immortality along with the rest of the night elves when War of the Ancients ended. Dath'remar and all his followers left when magic was banned, and I don't know how, but they lost their immortality (or never got it in the first place).
    That said, I do think that Dath'remar is dead. He lived over 10.000 years, and that's a pretty long time for a high elf. So far, the oldest high/blood elf I've heard about was Anastarian Sunstrider who lived from before the Troll Wars (2800 years ago) to the third war, where Quel'Thalas got razed.

    NOTE.
    Dath'remar is the founder and Head(was rather since he died) of the Sunstrider Family BEFORE Anastarian Sunstrider.

    OT.
    We don't know much about Dath'remar other than what stands on wowpedia etc sadly enough, we know he was a Magi and he was a noble

    Anasterian wasn't far off either, even without his fatal case of sword-through-chest.

    But yeah, it's a shame there's not more info on Dath'Remar after his founding of QT. Anasterian ruled during the most prolific eras (Troll Wars, Second War, Third War) of its history.

    I suppose it is safe to say that it was aging. According to WoWPedia Blood Elves can only live a couple of thousand years and obviously the sundering and the founding of Quel'Thalas happened roughly 10,000 years ago. I had forgotten about the night elves and their immortality for a short time as well.

    To begin, we must not to confuse the true High Elves with these demonic elves called Blood Elves. Both Dath'Remar and Anasterian were High Elves, and they would never have agreed to be part of that collective madness triggered by Kael'thas. Moreover, Kael'thas sullied his own lineage and that of his entire race, dishonoring the Sunstrider dynasty forever.

    If Anasterian or Dath'Remar were living today, you must be rest assured they would disown all Blood Elves, in fact, they would commit suicide by seeing what has become the vast majority of their congeners: addicted to magic, effeminate, irreversibly contaminated with fel energy, allies of demons, promiscuous, treacherous of their allies, despisers of their origins, etc...

    And as for the symbol of the unicorn, not all have forgotten it (see my avatar). The Silver Unicorn has been the symbol of the High Elves since they arrived to Quel'Thalas, where they found these mystical and sensitive creatures and taken them as mounts by having great affinity with magic. Since then, the flag of the rampant silver unicorn has waved on ships, battlefields and buildings throughout Silvermoon and other Quel'dorei settlements for thousands of years ... until today.

    Only genuine High Elves, loyal to their customs, still proudly hold the silver unicorn emblem, ie only the High Elves who remain in the Alliance are the last defenders of the standard of the silver unicorn, and when Alleria Windrunner do comeback, she'll know which is her true banner and then she will lead all Quel'dorei under her command and return them to their former glory in friendship with the other Alliance races.

    Why Unicorns are no longer part of the life of the Blood Elves? Simply because unicorns themselves detected the presence of fel magic in the body of the Blood Elves and because of that unicorns themselves became hostile towards the Blood Elves. So Blood Elves ordered to slaughter all of Quel'Thalas unicorns and absorb their magic; luckily they not killed all: the unicorns still graze the green pastures of Greenwood, the last bastion of the High Elves. Since then, the Blood Elves took as new mounts the hawkstriders.

    In the same way that the blood elves have as racial colors the gold and the crimson and as a racial symbol the Golden Phoenix, the High Elves have as racial colors the blue and silver and the Silver Unicorn as racial symbol.

    The amount of sheer wrong in that post makes my head hurt. I'm... speechless. x.x

    Or not. As a mod, I feel it's my duty to educate you a little:

    effeminate,
    ...

    irreversibly contaminated with fel energy,
    Reversibly, actually. Blizzard said it'll wear off in time.

    promiscuous,
    ...

    treacherous of their allies,
    Which allies? Anasterian was far more bigoted and hateful to the Alliance than Theron has been to the Horde.

    despisers of their origins,
    ...

    The term "blood elf" itself is a show of respect for the fall of the high elf race. Crimson is the high elven colour of mourning, which has been employed en masse in honour of the blood elves' fallen brethren. "Despisers"? They reinvented parts of their culture to honour their fallen forefathers. >.<

    And as for the symbol of the unicorn, not all have forgotten it (see my avatar). The Silver Unicorn has been the symbol of the High Elves since they arrived to Quel'Thalas, where they found these mystical and sensitive creatures and taken them as mounts by having great affinity with magic.

    Unicorns have no lore beyond being plastered on WC2 destroyers. I have absolutely no idea where you're pulling this out of.

    Only genuine High Elves, loyal to their customs, still proudly hold the silver unicorn emblem, ie only the High Elves who remain in the Alliance are the last defenders of the standard of the silver unicorn, and when Alleria Windrunner do comeback, she'll know which is her true banner and then she will lead all Quel'dorei under her command and return them to their former glory in friendship with the other Alliance races.
    Even the high elf remnants use the phoenix now.

    ...

    You need to do a bit of homework on the high elven nation before WC3 if you think its leadership or its people have ever been great, loyal friends to the Alliance. Alliance-supporting high elves have been portrayed as the minority since day one: They sent token assistance to it during their big war, pulled out their entire nation the moment the high elven king got sick of the Alliance and disregarded its sacrifices in defense of Quel'Thalas, and 90% of the surviving high elves after the Third War joined the Horde.

    Why Unicorns are no longer part of the life of the Blood Elves? Simply because unicorns themselves detected the presence of fel magic in the body of the Blood Elves and because of that unicorns themselves became hostile towards the Blood Elves. So Blood Elves ordered to slaughter all of Quel'Thalas unicorns and absorb their magic; luckily they not killed all: the unicorns still graze the green pastures of Greenwood, the last bastion of the High Elves.

    Supremacy? because I think a race of immortal warriors which have nature at their beck and call should be able to clean the floor on their home turf against a bunch of aliens with axes, it's supremacy delusion? Aren't you the one who thinks a bunch of zombies shouldn't possible lose a single fight to anything ever? Lolundead...

    Constel tends to use logic and sense though. Not copious amounts of baseless, stunningly inaccurate fanon. x.x

    I am not talking about any kind of undead seen so far.

    And to return this thread on track, yeah, there is a pretty big chance he died of old age as only noteworthy enemies back then were forest trolls, and I guess we would have learned about it if they killed him.

    Thats one thing that makes Northem worse, he still considers RPG canon.

    ty I try to verify what I say with what I know and Ive made it clear numerous times I'm firmly against elves lording over everyone or being invincible, but they should be experts at what they are supposed to know and be good at for the thousands of years they've been doing it, just as you'd expect a surgeon with 4 decades of successful surgeries under their belt to be able to teach surgery to students and demonstrate it under pressure with skill and precision.

    Isn't there a memorial to him on Sunstrider Isle? I was pretty sure it was Dath'remar you paid homage to, not Anasterian, though I could be wrong or they could've changed it. I haven't made a new Blood Elf since BC, all my current ones are that old.

    Which makes lore discussion fun with you, Northem on the other hand, lives in his/her own little bubble, denying any lore which differs from her /his personal preference.
