Biography
Sylvanas
A lesser quel'dorei noble, Saltheril's extravagant parties were famous throughout Quel'Thalas.
The lord was moved to tears by Lirath Windrunner's rendition of Lament of the Highborne, and offered the young musician his patronage.[2] He and his latest paramour, Elisara Sunstriker, hosted the Windrunners at his country abode and had Lirath perform for the haughty nobles of Silvermoon. Saltheril even arranged for his young prodigy to play for Kael'thas Sunstrider, prince of Quel'Thalas, during one of the prince's rare returns from Dalaran.[3]
This party proved a scandalous affair, as the antics of a young Sylvanas Windrunner saw Lord Saltheril and Elisara afflicted by woundwood intended for Aravan and Rendris of the House of Salonar. Saltheril indignantly banished both Windrunners from his haven in response. Attending the party was the Farstrider Lor'themar Theron, who interceded on the Windrunners' behalf and won Lirath clemency, but nothing would ease Saltheril's loathing for Sylvanas, whose exile he insisted upon. To his relief, the party's turn amused rather than offended Prince Kael'thas, who sponsored the youngest Windrunner in Silvermoon.[4] Later, he attended the Remembrance at the Court of the Sun and met with Sylvanas again.[5]
Saltheril attended Lirath's funeral after his death in the Second War. Years later, Sylvanas – now the Dark Lady of the Forsaken – would return to her homeland to negotiate its entrance into the Horde. On a nostalgic whim, the dark lady asked after Saltheril's fate and was surprised to learn he'd survived the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas. According to the kingdom's regent lord, not even Arthas Menethil could halt his parties for long – even if Lord Saltheril now taps into his Suntouched Special Reserve with greater frequency.[6]
The Burning Crusade
Saltheril often sent requests to Magistrix Landra Dawnstrider for party supplies, much to her growing irritation. The Magistrix sent a new adventurer to attend to him.[7] Saltheril had the adventurer run all across Eversong Woods and Silvermoon City for supplies, and as a reward for their efforts gave them an invitation to his next party.[8]
Midnight
Saltheril hosts Saltheril's Soiree, in which Silvermoon's prominent factions -- the prestigious Magisters, the stalwart Farstriders, the valiant Blood Knights, along with the rogues of Murder Row -- court the sin'dorei nobility for favor and patronage.[9]
