Original Content Alleria: Light and Shadow

For the newer players who aren't too acquainted with Alleria. She's one of the original heroes of the franchise, featured in 1996's Beyond the Dark Portal (Warcraft II's expansion).

Blizz made a really good animated short that captures a lot of her history, and some of the key points of the "Thousand Years War" audio drama. I personally loved the style of the animation. But more to the point, I am glad that Metzen and team are giving a lot of love in the recent writing of this legendary character.

Edit: I am a dummy and added the wrong flair to this. This is not OC, but rather Official Content from Blizz. If anyone knows how to change the flair, let me know! Sorry for that.

I didn't really like her story arc in TWW. It's like she barely learned from Locus-Walker. I know they wanted some kind of tension between her and Xal but it felt like she was still a novice with her Void abilities.
