Thalorien Dawnseeker

Thalorien Dawnseeker was a high elf who gained fame for wielding the blade Quel'Delar. With the sword, he was part of the defense unit that guarded the Sunwell during the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas until he fell in battle against the death knight Morlen Coldgrip. His corpse remains where he fell, on the southern tip of the Dead Scar on the Isle of Quel'Danas.^[1]

He was a friend of Lana'thel, who took up Quel'Delar after his death and carried it to Northrend in the service of Prince Kael'thas.

Abilities

Bladestorm — Instantly Whirlwind up to 255 nearby targets and for the next 6 sec you will perform a whirlwind attack every 1 sec.

Heroic Strike — A strong attack that increases melee damage by 10%.
Mortal Strike — Inflicts 100% weapon damage and leaves the target wounded, reducing the effectiveness of any healing by 50% for 5 sec.
Whirlwind — In a whirlwind of steel you attack all enemies within 5 yards, causing weapon damage from both melee weapons to each enemy.

We must defend the Sunwell from the enemy at all costs.
I am ordering you to withdraw to the Sunwell proper to help prepare the defenses.
I will make my stand here and buy you as much time as I am able. Use it well and make our prince proud.
It has been a great honor to fight beside you in defense of our land and our people.
You, Stranger! You are not one of my soldiers! Will you stand with me to face the enemy?
Listen well, Scourge defilers. None of you will reach the Sunwell so long as I stand!
I... I wasn't meant to survive this attack.
Why has this happened? Why have you come here?
It's Quel'Delar! You possess the sword!
I don't know how, but the blade has chosen you to be its new wielder. Take it with my blessing, and wield it against the Scourge as I once did.

The Dawnseeker Promontory base camp bears his surname. It may have been named in his honor.
