Shadowlands might be behind us for good, but the Windrunner sisters are eternal. Alleria Windrunner, the eldest scion of this noble family, is at the forefront of the upcoming World of Warcraft expansion The War Within. To remind players of her story, developer Blizzard Entertainment shared a new animated short titled ‘Alleria: Light and Shadow’.
“This 5-minute fully animated short delves into Alleria’s deep connection with her sisters Sylvanas and Vereesa, her sacrifices for family and love, and her ultimate transformation into a weapon of the void. Watch as Alleria faces the darkness within and rises to defend the world she loves.”
The video goes over the battles and trials she’s faced that have shaped her into one of Azeroth’s most formidable heroes. From the war against the Old Horde, to being cut off beyond the Dark Portal, to waging the endless war against the Legion, and never stopping the fight.
