Korialstrasz is a red dragon appearing in the novels Warcraft: Day of the Dragon, Warcraft: War of the Ancients Trilogy and the manga Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy, all written by Richard A. Knaak. He is the Prime Consort of the Dragonqueen, Alexstrasza.
In Day of the Dragon, he persuades the human mage Rhonin to attempt to free Alexstrasza from the captivity of the Dragonmaw Clan. He intends on simply using Rhonin as a pawn to try to scare the orcs out of Grim Batol, but in the end Rhonin, Veressa Windrunner, and Falstad free Alexstrasza and drive the orcs from Grim Batol. Rhonin managed to destroy the Demon Soul, the artifact used by the Dragonmaw, and returned the power to four of the five aspects: Nozdormu, Malygos, Ysera, and Alexstrasza.
In War of the Ancients, he is contacted by Nozdormu, the Bronze Aspect and Master of Time, and receives an urgent message to travel to the mountains of Kalimdor. There he is sucked into a vortex that sends him back through time, where the Night Elves first fight against the Burning Legion. He finds himself greatly weakened by the travel through time, and is unable to transform into his true form. He is joined by the human Rhonin and the orc Broxigar as they attempt to help the Night Elves defend against the Burning Legion. However, he hopes to avert the disaster that befell his kind with the betrayal of Neltharion, later known as Deathwing. They aid Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande Whisperwind and drive back the Burning Legion, restoring peace to Azeroth. He gets transported back to his present time (thanks to Nozdormu) and tells Thrall about the legacy of Brox.
In Sunwell Trilogy, Korialstrasz discovers the location of the remaining energies of the Sunwell that survived the destruction of Quel'Thalas. Forming it into the form of a peasant girl named Anveena, and granting her the illusion of a life and family, Korialstrasz did not become directly involved in the conflict surrounding Anveena until she was taken to Quel'Thalas by the maddened traitor Dar'Khan Drathir, who sought to steal the magic of the Sunwell for himself. Korialstrasz was briefly enslaved by Dar'Khan and sent to fight the blue dragon Tyrygosa, but some kind of intervention from a tiny dragonling (called Raac for the sound it made) broke Dar'Khan's spell. After Dar'Khan was defeated, Korialstrasz departed, leaving Raac as his eyes to watch over the avatar of the Sunwell.
Known Aliases
*Krasus: Member of the inner conclave of the Kirin Tor of Dalaran, also known as the Six. He appears to be a tall, thin, elf-like figure, and is well-known and respected by his colleagues in the Kirin Tor. This is the name he is addressed by in both Day of the Dragon and the War of the Ancients Trilogy.
*Borel: Presumably his identity while in humanoid form in Quel'Thalas, this is the identity he assumes in the Sunwell Trilogy. What race he is supposed to represent is unclear, as he is a hooded and cloaked figure for most of his appearances in the trilogy, with the exception of while he is in dragon form.
In World of Warcraft
Though Korialstrasz does not appear in World of Warcraft, several mentions are made in both the original game and the Burning Crusade expansion:
*After completing the Scepter of the Shifting Sands event that led to the opening of Ahn'Qiraj, one of the rewards is an epic dagger known as the Fang of Korialstrasz.
*A high elf named Garek claims to have been sent on a mission by his master, Krasus of the Kirin Tor - the better-known mortal incarnation of Korialstrasz. Garek's mission was to awaken and slay black drakes in the Badlands south of Loch Modan.
*In the village of Kirin'Var in Outland's Netherstorm, adventurers are tasked with finding Krasus' Sigil and the three parts of Krasus' Compendium, believed to be powerful artifacts that Krasus granted to the Dalaranian contingent of the Alliance Expedition to Draenor.

Fandral Staghelm is a fictional character in the computer game World of Warcraft.
One of top lieutenants, Fandral is a clever druid who has trained many of the newest generation of druids of the wild. His hot temperament has sometimes clashed with the more restrained Malfurion. Fandral believes that the future of the night elves demands more expansionism and military planning. His radical beliefs and aggressive demeanor often lead him to quarrel openly with the High Priestess, Tyrande. Regardless, to this date, Fandral has proven to be an effective replacement for the missing Malfurion.
Part of the controversy surrounding Fandral stems from the creation of Teldrassil. He was the leader of a group of druids who wished to plant a new World Tree in order to regain their recently lost immortality. Malfurion insisted that such a selfish act would never achieve nature's blessing. However, when Malfurion was lost in the Emerald Dream, Fandral went ahead with the plan, and the new tree was planted without the consecration of nature. Thus the new tree was innately corrupt, and failed to give them there eternal life back and then soon agents of the Burning Legion were spotted among its tranquil boughs.

In the fictional Warcraft Universe, Cenarius is a demi-god who aids the Night Elves in Kalimdor. He first appeared in an Orc level in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos.
Character overview
The reclusive demigod, Cenarius, existed in the world for time unmeasured before his presence was even known. Dwelling within the sacred Moonglades of Mount Hyjal, Cenarius was approached by Malfurion Stormrage during the War of the Ancients. Malfurion begged Cenarius to help the Night Elves push back the invasion of the Burning Legion. He agreed to help, calling on the spirits of the enchanted forests, rallying an army which included his children, the dryads and the Keepers of the Grove, and ancient tree-men. He led them against the Legion in a dashing ground assault. Alongside the Night Elves, Cenarius and his army assaulted Azshara's temple in an attempt to shut down the Well of Eternity. The unstable vortex within the Well's depths finally exploded and ignited a catastrophic chain of events that would come to be known as the Great Sundering.
Miraculously, Cenarius managed to survive along with Malfurion, and together, they led their survivors to establish a new home at Mount Hyjal. There, Cenarius lived, giving his wisdom to the Night Elf Druids and tending to the forestlands. Over time, the world began to heal from its grievous wounds. When the druids entered the Emerald Dream, Cenarius remained nearby. His sons kept close watch on the Night Elves' land and regularly helped the Sentinels maintain peace in the land.
When the second invasion of the Burning Legion occurred, Cenarius once again rode to battle against the demons. However, during the battle with the Warsong Clan, the Orcs were drawn to a corrupted pool to drink once more of Mannoroth's blood, giving them great power but twisting them into red-skinned chaos Orcs. With his demon blood empowering the Orcs of the Warsong clan, Mannoroth, who had previously seen defeat in battle by Cenarius and his allies, and in the initial failure of the orcs to pave the way for the Legion's invasion, scored a victory; the blood gave Grom Hellscream enough power to defeat the demi-god. Only Cenarius's corporeal self was killed however; his spiritual form still lives in the Emerald Dream, where he fights with Malfurion against the corruption.
When fighting, Cenarius in the Warcraft III campaign occasionally chants: "You cannot defeat me - I am the heart of the land!" and, "Demon-spawned wretches! You will all die!!"
