Youth of Anduin

Anduin Llane Wrynn is the son of Tiffin Ellerian and Varian Wrynn. His mother died during a Stonemason’s Guild riot and that is why he was given the Stormwind crown when his father went missing. Varian was kidnapped by the Black Dragon Onyxia, but he did not rule at such a young age. The original Varian returns, and Onyxia kidnaps Anduin. Original and copy Varian saves Anduin.

Anduin and the Light

Varian, considering Anduin soft-hearted, sends him to Ironforge to learn war skills. In Ironforge, Anduin realized his true calling for the light and began to learn its power and the ways of the Priest. However, Ironforge was soon devastated by earthquakes, and its leader died. Moira then claims the throne and closes the city gates. However, Anduin escapes Ironforge by using the Hearthstone given to him by his aunt, Jaina Proudmoore. Other crucial points of this phase are Anduin’s meeting with Baine of the Horde and Prophet Velen. He reached Draenei’s city, Exodar, as a pupil of Velen.
