Liellum "Fauss" Bloodthorn

A creature of the wilds at heart, Fauss is a Farstrider in the Ranger Corps of Quel’thalas. Ambitious, eager to prove, and bullheaded; Fauss will accomplish or acquire anything she sets her mind to. Young, with a strong will, you’ll never find her bending the knee easily to those she does not respect.

History
Born Liellum Bloodthorn, the last daughter of Ambrose Baelfal and San’quinne Bloodthorn, Liellum comes from one of the stronger bloodlines still thriving today in Quel’thalas. The Bloodthorn’s are a bloodline as old as Silvermoon itself; some of the first rangers to patrol the Golden Forests were of Bloodthorn descent. A matriarchal House, the Bloodthorn name and lands are passed down from daughter to daughter. Currently, Liellum sits as the heir to House Bloodthorn, after her mother.

In her earlier years, Liellum grew up in her family home in southern Quel’thalas. A simple estate built into the hillside of the southern ranges, the young girl grew up reading the tomes and stories of Elven heritage and honor, strength of the bloodline and the nobility of the Sin’dorei. Instilled at an early age with ideals of nationalism and patriotism, she quickly rose in favor among her family, and was groomed from an early age to be a Ranger.

Adolescence was spent like many young Rangers, exploring the wilds with her sisters, learning the stalking patterns of the common lynx, and practicing their hawkstrider calls. Their lives were simple for such a long time that one would dare say her childhood was a pleasant one.

It was in her second century that the call finally came down for her to be taken on as a Ranger-trainee. Years of service and a honing of skills enabled her to rise quickly in the program, but not quickly enough. When the scourge marched on the golden forests, heading for the Sunwell, Liellum was still a fledgling, and was unable to fight to defend the homeland. She watched from the safety of her estate as the forests burned and her family fought.

Other information
• Liellum abandoned her birthname in the days following the scourge’s sacking of Quel’thalas, choosing to go by the moniker “Fauss” instead, to honor the deaths of her three sisters and grandmother.

• Fauss' grandmother, Nostra'nel Bloodthorn was raised as a Dark Ranger and serves in the Banshee Queen's army to this day. Exiled from the bloodthorn family, Fauss has not seen her since the scourge marched on Quel'thalas.
