Creating a Villain


The challenge for any story set in an already established story is to make sure the chain of events not only corrospond with the historical events of fictional lore, but the timelines fit in as well. The first film is by far the most challenging, covering Cham's birth through his unorthodox induction to the Sentinals of Aessina through to his role in the The Battle of Mount Hyjal. Ravenstien by this point is still a mindless ghoul under the command of the Lich King and Archimodes and is by no means a considerble force to be reckoned with, so Cham and his allies must contend with something different, so I decided to make a new villainess for the first film, a fallen Night Elf come acolyte of Archimondes, Delena Shadowcall (who's name will play a major role in the trilogy). Sowing the seeds of mstrust between the Alliance and the Horde, the Sentinals of Aessina find themselves having to amass an army to fight hidden enemy in the midst of a an even greater war engulfing Azeroth. Delena is the ace in Archimondes deck, and is equal in power to the Lich King, having amassed an army of Naga and Fallen Highborne under her will. Her heart so full of hate for her exile from Ashenvale and the Sentinals of Aessina, Delelna will stop at nothing to see the forest of Ashenvale, she once vowed to protect, burn in an eternal hell fire, as promised by her masters, with her as queen over the cursed land.
