World Of Warcraft Lore Explained

World of Warcraft lore question.?

I've just created a Blood Elf warlock on a roleplaying server. Are there any gods/demigods that are apparent in the lore of Warcraft to explain where I derive my shadow powers? Thanks you for responses in advance.

Blood Elves don't have a god/demi-god of any sort.

Back in Warcraft III, the blood elves used to be "High Elves" who worshiped the light just as Humans do.
After the scourge invaded the High Elves city and nearly wiped them all out, the ran away for safety.

High Elves had also had a strong desire for arcane magic so when their sunwell was destoryed, they were stripped of their magic.

Now homeless and powerless, the High Elves began to go crazy until Illidan came along, he offered them a new source of magic, fel magic which the got from demons trapped within large green crystals. The High Elves renamed themselves blood elves in memory of their fallen kin (the blood shed).

Still homeless, but now having their magic, Illidan took the Blood elves to the outlands through the dark portal before it was closed.

Then, when it was re-opened, the Blood elves came back,chasing the dreanei (who are actually a race of demons) to Azeroth. Now the BEs are trying to rebuild one of their old cities, Silvermoon.

That's a rough summary of them, for more on their lore you can go here:

does Warcraft 3 explain all the lore used in World of Warcraft?

im really interested in WoW lore and i want to know if Warcraft 3 explains the War of the ancients, etc.

You'll gain a good understanding of many things in the WoW lore, but you'll have to do a lot of reading else where. The books and wowwiki can cover most of what you'll be interested in knowing.
