History

Sylvanas

This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

Years before the Second War, Auric and his fellow rangers, Verana, Rellian, and Talthressar, visited Windrunner Spire when their friend, Alleria Windrunner, was about to conduct her initiation to start training to become ranger-general.

Later, Auric and the other rangers joined Alleria's unit when she was to leave Quel'Thalas for a mission in the outside world. When Sylvanas was being sworn to become the ranger-general, Auric was in attendance and told a story about Lireesa.

The Burning Crusade

Auric is found at Allerian Stronghold in Terokkar Forest as the captain of the high elves of the base. It appears that he has replaced Talthressar as leader. After being freed by an Alliance adventurer, Isla Starmane reported to Auric and told him about the blood elves at Firewing Point. He also hears the reports from Lieutenant Gravelhammer, but as he appears to be busy, he lets Gravel deal with the situation.

Auric in Sunwell Plateau.

Auric Sunchaser appears in the Sunwell Plateau as the high elf representative when champions coming from Northrend arrived with Quel'Delar. He is seen alongside the regent lord of Quel'Thalas, Lor'themar Theron, and Grand Magister Rommath at the site of the restored Sunwell.

For blood elf adventurers, Auric joins Lor'themar and Rommath in congratulating the sin'dorei hero who had restored the blade. He states that now is the time to rally behind the bearer of Quel'Delar and avenge the destruction of their lands, referencing the quel'dorei and sin'dorei collectively as the "children of Silvermoon."

For non-blood elf members of the Horde and members of the Alliance, Auric is present when Lor'themar attempts to claim Quel'Delar for "its rightful owners." When the blade does not accept the regent lord and hurls him back across the plateau, Rommath holds Auric responsible for this apparent treachery and the Sunwell guardians surround him with weapons drawn. Auric defuses the situation after inferring that Quel'Delar decides upon its owner, and not the other way around, citing Lor'themar's foolishness as the reason behind his injuries. Rommath grudgingly calls his guards off, though warns Auric to watch his tongue in this holy place.

Auric then congratulates the adventurer himself for their accomplishment in restoring the blade, after Rommath brusquely orders the adventurer to "take the blade and begone."
