Personality

Alignment: Neutral Good

Litharia is headstrong and stubborn, even to a fault, not willing to back down when she knows that something is wrong, or leave any stone unturned when she is investigating scourge activity. This can continue even to the point of endangering herself. She has been described on more than one occasion as being steely-eyed, and very passionate about justice although laced with vengeance against the scourge. She can come off as icy and unemotional to those that do not know her, centuries of training as a Ranger had helped her to keep her emotions in check.

She does not hold much respect for the Blood Knights, as they are still a young organization and given the fact of their origin they have yet to prove themselves in her eyes. She also finds that the Magisterium to be constantly sticking its nose where it does not belong, and over stepping their authority. She holds a high amount of respect for anyone that is associated with the Argent Crusade as she sees their goals and hers are the same.

History

From the time she was able to hold a bow, Litharia Duskstalker was trained as a hunter. She spent most of her early life in the woods of Quel’Thalas honing her skill on the bow against beast and troll alike. Long before the creation of the Farstriders, Litharia began to make a name for herself as a skilled hunter, tracker, and archer. About 529 years ago the farstriders were officially formed and Litharia, as well as several members of her family, were among the first High Elves to hold the title Farstrider. Although she was honored to be among the first in this organization, she really did not see much difference between this and what she did before, now she just had a title.

Over time as the organization began to grow Lithearia saw the creation of a simple rank structure. As the ranks began to be filled she found herself still as a low ranking Farstrider. She assumed that this was because her family was not noble or well known. Over the years though her prowess had bought her some rank. She earned herself a small command and quickly began earning a high amount of respect within the organization.

Although she spent most of her time running patrols around Quel’Thalas and its borders, over the years she made a name for herself and those that fell under her command as showing no mercy or fear in the face of the enemy. She did not care much for the reputation she had gained, as she saw it as usually inaccurate or an over simplification of the truth.

Many Ranger Lords began to show notice to Litharia because of her skill as a guerrilla tactician as well as the reputation she held. Over time she was given more responsibility and was even consulted in tactics against the Trolls and other enemies of her people. Before long she was given the rank of Ranger-Captain, a rank she hold with pride.

She married another Ranger during the time before the great wars and carried 4 children, all of whom became rangers.

The second war: By the time of the second war Litharia was one of the voices that called out to assist the humans in their war against the orcs. She took part with in the defense of Silvermoon when the orcs moved against it. Though she fought bravely in that battle, she did not participate further in the second war.

The Third War: Like many of the other Farstriders, Litharia was aware of the fall of Lordaeron and was on high alert. She had fought alongside Sylvanas during the battle along with the rest of her family. She only managed to survive from a trick of fate—a trick she herself is unaware of. One minute she is fighting the scourge, the next she is heavily wounded and with her people in exile. To this day she does not know how she survived the battle.

After the battle, Litharia found that The Duskstalker house was in ruins. Most her family was killed with Sylvanas, the rest were slain during the evacuation of Silvermoon. As far as she knows, she is the last of her house, a thought that carries to today. This tragedy caused her to grow a deep hatred of the scourge. After her people started to drink of Fel Energy, which she partook in, she helped in the reclamation of Silvermoon. Once Silvermoon was rebuilt, Litharia began a tireless crusade against the Scourge. She never did go to outland since she viewed it as irrelevant and would pull her away from her true duty.

The War in Northrend: During the war in Northrend, Litharia and her command worked closely with the Sunreavers and Argent Crusade in campaigns against the Liche King. Her rangers conducted reconnaissance, infiltration and ambushes of the enemy. When battle was taken to the Icecrown Citadel her rangers helped in what capacity they could, though they were not well versed in this style warfare. The only regret Litharia has is that she could not be there to watch Arthas’ fall.

Since then Litharia had returned to Silvermoon with her command. She spends almost no time for her own leaser as she constantly plans ways to disrupt and destroy the Scourge threat that still plagues Quel’Thalas. She is generally seen operating within the Ghostlands, but has been seen as far south as the Plaguelands. In battle she attacks with a ferocity few of her people can match and will only retreat when the situation seems hopeless. She deploys the rangers that fall under her command with skill, and will always lead from the front holding little regard for her own safety.
