Tilanne Shadowstorm was born approximately three hundred years ago in Ashenvale Forest. From a young age, her parents pressured her to become a Priestess of Elune, but the young Kaldorei felt that she had a greater destiny. To pursue these ends, at the still-young (by Night Elf reckoning) age of one hundred twelve, she set out from her home village to the larger world. Her travels eventually brought her across a small tribe of the nomadic Tauren in the Barrens. She spent many years learning about the Earthmother and the teachings of the demigod Cenarius from Chief Druid Kinar Greenmoss. After nearly sixty years, though, Tilanne once again became restless, venturing away from the Tauren and once again setting off to roam the world at large.
