History
Third War
During the Third War in 20 ADP, An'owyn, along with An'telas and An'daroth, was a heavily-guarded, hidden location in Quel'Thalas which held a piece of mooncrystal for the Key of the Three Moons. When combined, it produced a powerful key to bring down the second moongate protecting Silvermoon City. During his mission to claim the Sunwell, in order to resurrect Kel'Thuzad, Arthas Menethil received information about the key from the traitorous Dar'Khan Drathir.[1] An'owyn was protected by Koltira, Faltora, and Merriel, until a Scourge assault on the location was led by the death knight Thassarian; Koltira was the sole survivor.[2] Lor'themar Theron and his Farstriders later discovered An'owyn and An'telas in ruins and traveled to An'daroth.[3]
The Burning Crusade
Prior to the invasion of Outland in 26 ADP, the Sentinel spies arrived by ship and took over Shalandis Isle, from where they set up bases in An'telas, An'daroth, and An'owyn.[4] Each outpost possessed a moon crystal orb at their center, controlled by a Crystal Controlling Orb, which they used as scrying devices to spy on the Quel'Thalas. Blood elven adventurers were eventually tasked by Magister Sylastor to attack the night elves and deactivate the moon crystal orb.[5]
Midnight
The night elves' camp is gone, and the small valley is now completely empty save for some Amani ruins. It is not given a subzone designation in the new version of Eversong Woods.
