The Riftwalkers are an order[1] of void elves tasked with investigating all Void activity that appears on Azeroth. A most vital duty, given how dangerous this dark force can be.[2] The organization was brought together to protect Azeroth from the Void,[1] and they are determined to save the world with that very power.[3]
History
Battle for Azeroth
In N'Zoth's Vision of Stormwind, Fallen Riftwalkers could be found keeping watch outside the Cathedral of Light and had to be dealt with before confronting the corrupted version of Alleria Windrunner.
Dragonflight
After Iridikron gave the Dark Heart to the Harbinger, Magister Umbric deployed the Riftwalkers to investigate reports of increased Void activity across Azeroth.[4] After hearing their reports, Umbric noted that Riftwalker Nilara had yet to return from her mission in Northrend.[2] Alleria Windrunner and the adventurer eventually found her at the gates of Ulduar, corrupted by the Harbinger, and were forced to kill her.[5] When the Shadowguard attacked Telogrus Rift, they helped defend the area.[6] After the fight, Alleria left Telogrus on a mission, and several members of the Riftwalkers met with Umbric, who told them to continue responding to void activity. While they wanted Alleria to lead them, Umbric assured them that until she returned they could turn to Locus-Walker for guidance.[7]
The War Within
During the war on K'aresh, Umbric, along several researchers and Riftwalkers traveled to K'aresh where they set up a camp called Shan'dorah. Within Manaforge Omega, the infiltrating adventurers were able to ascend to the Shadow Docks where the void elves battled the Shadowguard, led by Nexus-King Salhadaar himself. The Shadowguard held their ground and stalled the Riftwalkers at the docks until the heroes of Azeroth moved to confront the Nexus-King.
Midnight
After Vereesa Windrunner's visions and warnings about the danger heading to Quel'Thalas, Umbric gathered most of his mages and Riftwalkers and portaled from Telogrus to Eversong Woods, materializing in Windrunner Village. They witnessed Umbric's and Grand Magister Rommath exchange, resulting in allowing the ren'dorei to stay in the village.[8]
When Umbric and Rommath teamed up to combat the rising Twilight's Blade in the Twilight Highlands, Riftwalkers Dellyn and Soran joined them and stood guard over the ren'dorei portion of the elven basecamp.
