Adventure Guide

Elisande once distinguished herself by resisting the Legion. She and her highborne followers broke away from Queen Azshara and the dark path she was taking, harnessing the power of the Eye of Aman'thul to create the Nightwell to protect Suramar from the Sundering. But over ten thousand years later, the Legion's arrival offered her no such recourse. She has cast her lot with the demons, hoping to once again use the power of the Nightwell - albeit this time in a very different sense - to save her people.

Overview

Grand Magistrix Elisande harness the power of the Nightwell to shape time itself. When her health is low and she is nearing defeat, she rewinds time to send players back to the point at which they first engaged her. The fight recommences from this point, but Elisande uses new abilities mixed in with echoes of her past actions. She can perform this feat twice, after which time can no longer save her.

Quotes

Intro
I foresaw your coming, of course. The threads of fate that led you to this place. Your desperate attempt to stop the Legion.
My people face a similar dilemma. I peered into all possible futures in search for an answer... and found only one.
The Legion's victory is inevitable. Every time stream shows it to be so. Had we resisted, they would have taken the Nightwell by force and left us bereft of it.
I could not allow my people starve, to waste away without its energy sustaining us. So a bargain was struck.
Now I see a future where the Legion is victorious and my people endure. This is the thread that must be preserved. I will do everything in my power to make it so!
Your deaths ensure the future of the Nightborne. Come forward, then. Let us speed you toward your fate.
Aggro
Your timelines end here!
Spanning Singularity
I control the battlefield, not you!
Arcanetic Ring
Let the waves of time crash over you!
Phase 2
You exist in but a single moment. I am far less limited!
Epocheric Orb
You'll find time can be quite volatile.
Delphuric Beam
The threads of time answer to me!
Phase 3
Time shifts again, and your doom draws near!
Taunt
  • The time streams are mine to command! You cannot win!
  • Time itself heeds my call!
Conflexive Burst
Will you race through time? Or be trapped in an endless eternity?
50% HP, Time Layer 3
Time is... slipping away! How can it be so?
Killed a player
  • An inevitable outcome.
  • Just as I foretold!
  • You were destined to die.
Wipe
I take no joy in this victory, but it was inevitable.
Death
It's... not possible! I... I was destined to win...
Outro
Echo of Elisande says: In all the possible futures I scryed, I did not foresee one in which you were victorious. I wonder...
Echo of Elisande says: Will you defeat the Legion? Will you fail? Time eddies about you fits and starts. Nothing is certain!
Echo of Elisande says: Perhaps you will win. And in saving your world, my people would be freed from the terrible bargain we were forced to make.
Echo of Elisande says: Fates be damned! I cast my lot in with yours, champions. Go now, face Gul'dan. I will aid you as best I can, and perhaps together we can save us all.
