In Silvermyst Isle.

Cowlen is a night elf located on the pier on southern Silvermyst Isle in Azuremyst Isle.

Cowlen, his wife Thalrisa, and daughter Magwin were living on the island for many years, but when the Exodar crashed, Cowlen and his family were attacked by the murlocs and owlkin of the isle. He fought tooth and nail but was easily overpowered. He blacked out from the vicious blows that he had been dealt. When he awoke, there was nothing but quiet and blood. Not only did he lose his family, but also his house and ship, so after the attack he contemplated using it on himself, but he trembled. An injured priestess was speaking about a lost fisherman, so the draenei adventurer was sent to find him. When they did so, the night elf told them what had happened, while the draenei felt responsible due to the crash and vowed to aid him however they could. Cowlen asked them to collect the remains of his family so that he could properly bury them. Not soon after, however, the adventurer also returned with Magwin who, in fact, had escaped during the attack and was now escorted back home. Overjoyed that his daughter survived, Cowlen proclaimed the adventurer as his sibling. Afterward, the pair decided to stay on the island and rebuild.

Cowlen is one of the many who journey to Blood Watch to celebrate the hero of Bloodmyst and Azuremyst.

Many years later, Cowlen and Magwin attended the Tishamaat in the Exodar. They could be seen speaking with Emissary Valustraa in the Trader's Tier.

Quotes

Gossip

To a non-draenei character

<Cowlen sobs.>

If the player is a draenei

What could I have done to give the gods cause to lash out at me with such ferocity? All that I cherished is gone - dead or destroyed. My family taken from me by the brutes of the forest. My home razed. My ship sunk.

I am a broken man, stranded on a broken island.

Perhaps you are here to finish the job? Make it quick, I will not resist. Take my life, stranger; I am too cowardly to do it myself. My hand shivers... the blade will not strike true.

 I have not come to kill you, night elf. And the gods did not do this...

If not the gods, who? How? What could cause such strife?

 I fear that my people are somewhat responsible for this destruction. We are refugees, displaced from our homes by the Burning Legion. This tragedy is a result of our latest evacuation. Our vessel crashed - this debris is a part of that vessel.

Legion? Demons? They hunt you? My people have also been hunted by Legion: Targeted by their dark masters for damnation.

<Cowlen wipes the tears away.>

It is the reason that I moved my family here oh-so-many years ago.

 We have much in common, night elf. I can't help but feel that perhaps it was fate that brought us together. Let me help you, Cowlen. Let my people help. We will right the wrongs. This I vow.

After finishing  [1-30] All That Remains and  [1-30G] A Cry For Help

With you and your people as allies, we have decided to stay on this island and rebuild. Elune bless you, hero.

While the sadness still comes and goes, I think we will survive.

In Blood Watch

We have traveled far to celebrate the hero of the draenei people.

Gossip during   [1-30] The Unwritten Prophecy

I would have traveled across the Great Sea to see you, friend. We will never forget what you did for us.

Notes

• After reuniting with his daughter, Cowlen mentions that they decided to stay on the island and rebuild. However, Zekhan after the Fourth War reported that he found the night elf house still impaled by the crystal and mentioned that those who had settled Silvermyst were forced to flee.

Patch changes
