太阳井之怒故事背景

太阳井高原的传说

几千年来，太阳之井源源不断的给被流放的高等精灵提供着强大的魔法。太阳之井取之不尽，用之不竭的力量贯穿着精灵的历史。高等精灵们对太阳之井的保护和珍惜让他们受益不已，甚至当他们在家园外的奎尔塞拉斯时也能从中得到力量。尽管精灵们在与阿拉索与巨魔的战争和与部落的战争中遭到了巨大的损失，但是太阳之井却一直是安全的，直到亡灵天灾的侵袭。没有任何预警，死亡骑士阿尔萨斯——巫妖王的仆人，将带领他的不死族部队对精灵王国再一次发动袭击。

绝望了的精灵守护者的捍卫阻挡不了亡灵天灾对太阳之井的入侵，任何人，如果胆敢阻止他们前进的脚步，只有死路一条。即使是拥有强大力量和不屈的一直的奎尔塞拉斯的国王阿那斯特瑞恩·逐日者也无法减缓阿尔萨斯所带领的亡灵军团的前进。精灵的主城终于被攻下，阿尔萨斯最终走向了太阳之井并将克尔苏加德的骨头放置在太阳之井中。这个举动立刻破坏了神圣的太阳之井的力量。在知道自己已经封存了高等精灵的命运之后，阿尔萨斯与复活的克尔苏加德离开了被废弃的城市。但是他们却留下很多的亡灵来对付那些还没有死去的高等精灵。

血精灵领袖罗斯玛尔·瑟伦集合了幸存者对亡灵天灾发起了反攻，他们被凯尔萨斯王子送回来的一个碎片重新燃起了希望。不久凯尔萨斯王子就可悲的发现了给他的人民带来危险的不是亡灵军团，而是太阳之井本身！太阳井被破坏的力量让所有幸存的高等精灵变的毫无生气。加以时日，太阳井的巫术将会杀死剩下的精灵并切污染周围的土地。凯尔萨斯痛苦决定：太阳之井——他们曾经的心脏，必须被销毁！

凯尔萨斯王子为了拯救他的人民，改变可悲的命运，在得到了强大的罗斯玛尔和他的志愿者们的帮助下，太阳之井被摧毁了。凯尔萨斯认为虽然太阳之井的能量被破坏了，但是本质却没有丧失。名叫Borel的天神将太阳井所剩余的力量聚集起来并化身为一个人类的少女——安维娜。在经历了太阳井的毁坏之后，凯尔萨斯王子宣布将他的子民们成为血精灵，让他的子民永远不要忘记那些为了保护自己家园而失去生命的高等精灵们。

虽然太阳井的威胁已经结束了，卡尔萨斯无法预见这件事对他的人民会产生怎样的影响。许多精灵们在吸取太阳井力量的过程中已经被井中的奥术能量所影响。只有部分的血精灵没有对井中的力量上瘾。随着时间的推移，精灵们大批患病，他们其中最年轻的和最年长的也因此而死亡。凯尔萨斯王子为了治疗他们的人民而到处寻找新的力量。但是他很快的落入伊利丹·风怒的控制中，在伊利丹的援助下，血精灵们发现了利用虹吸他们力量而减轻自己痛苦的邪恶方法。当凯尔萨斯王子开始越来越多镇压对抗伊利丹的军队的时候，他发现自己越来越依赖燃烧军团的黑暗力量。

现在，强大的力量让凯尔萨斯背弃了他的前任主人，伊利丹，并且最终回到了奎尔撒拉斯。最终，他开始利用安维娜所拥有的太阳之井的力量重新开始统治他的子民。但是很多人认为，凯尔萨斯王子曾经接触的黑暗力量让他变的很不稳定，并且说，他已经找了一个新的主人——燃烧军团的可怕的统治者，甚至连伊利丹听到这个都会颤抖，那就是——基尔加丹。

For millennia the mystical pool of energy known as the Sunwell fueled the potent magic of the exiled high elves. The Sunwell's inexhaustible power permeated the elves and infused them with a constant supply of arcane energy. For generations the high elves protected and cherished the well, benefiting from its powers even when outside the borders of their homeland, Quel'Thalas. Although the elves sustained heavy losses in the Troll Wars and the Second War against the Horde, the Sunwell remained secure... until the coming of the Scourge. Without warning the death knight Arthas, a mighty servant of the Lich King, led his undead armies in a merciless attack upon the elven kingdom.

Undeterred by the desperate struggles of the elven defenders, the Scourge marched on toward the Sunwell, slaughtering any who attempted to bar their path. The legendary king Anasterian Sunstrider faced off against Arthas in an attempt to slow the undead advance, but even his unyielding will and extraordinary powers proved insufficient against the merciless death knight. With the elven capital lying in ruin, Arthas marched triumphantly to the Sunwell and tossed the bones of the fallen necromancer Kel'Thuzad into the radiant beam of light. With this act the sacred well was instantly corrupted. Knowing he had sealed the fate of the high elves, Arthas departed with the newly resurrected Kel'Thuzad to carry on in service of the Lich King. Many of the Scourge, however, remained behind to prey upon the few elves who had not yet fallen.

The ranger Lor'themar Theron organized the remaining survivors to fight the undead, but it was the return of Prince Kael'thas that brought the elves a fragment of renewed hope. Tragically Kael'thas soon learned that the greatest danger to his people was posed not by the Scourge, but by the Sunwell itself. The corrupted powers of the well still permeated not only the elves, but all that they had built. Given enough time, the vile necromantic energies would kill the elves and spread an incurable poison throughout the surrounding land. Kael'thas painfully concluded that the Sunwell, the heart of their society, must be destroyed.

And so he executed a plan that would irrevocably change the fate of his people. With the aid of the most powerful remaining magi, accompanied by Lor'themar and a party of volunteer defenders, Kael'thas succeeded in destroying the mystical Sunwell. Or so he thought. The Sunwell's energies had been dispersed, and yet not all of its essence was lost. A mysterious individual named Borel gathered what remained of the energies and hid them away in the guise of a mortal girl, Anveena. In the aftermath of the Sunwell's destruction, Kael'thas declared that his people would be forever known as the sin'dorei, or blood elves, so they would never forget those who had fallen in defense of their homeland.

Although the Sunwell's threat was ended, Kael'thas could not have foreseen the effect its loss would have on his people. The elves suffered terribly from withdrawal, for many of them had been infused with the arcane energies of the well all their lives. Only in the absence of the Sunwell did the blood elves come to realize how addicted they had grown to its powers. Over time the elves grew ill, and the youngest and oldest among them died. Determined to find a cure for his people's crippling addiction, Prince Kael'thas sought a renewed source of arcane power, and he soon fell into the service of the demon Illidan Stormrage. With Illidan's aid, the blood elves found a temporary reprieve, learning to siphon the magical energies of others to ease their own suffering. As Kael'thas joined the fight against Illidan's many enemies, the prince came to rely more and more on fel energy: the dark and corrupting essence wielded by the demonic Burning Legion itself.

Now, bristling with newfound power, Kael'thas has turned his back on his former master, Illidan, and has finally returned to Quel'Thalas, promising final deliverance to his people. To this end he has harnessed the mortal possessor of the Sunwell's energies, Anveena. Yet many believe that the prince's exposure to fel energies has made him unstable, and that he has sought out a new master, a demon lord of the Burning Legion so terrible that even the mighty Illidan would tremble in fear at the sound of his name: Kil'jaeden.
