Suneza woke up in the Northern Eastern Kingdoms, in the Lordaeron region, a few months before the First War. He had amnesia, with little knowledge on what happened to him before or who he was. He retained his name, magical knowledge, and his sword skills, and ''some'' of his memories. Even though he had magical knowledge, to be honest it wasn't very great, and his sword skills were more better at this point. He found himself in a small village in Hillsbrad named Rosewood, and the humans were amazed by the walking talking fox, as they've never seen a vulpera before (and to be honest Suneza wasn't quite sure either with his amnesia), and they were a rare sight outside of Vol'dun. While the villagers were a little hesitant and apprehensive, they accepted Suneza into the village and let him stay in exchange for him helping out around the village, which he happily agreed.

Even though he had magical knowledge, and to be honest it wasn't very great, his sword skills were a lot better though. He found himself in a small village in Hillsbrad named Rosewood, and the humans were amazed by the walking talking fox, as they've never seen a vulpera before (and to be honest Suneza wasn't quite sure either with his amnesia), and they were a rare sight outside of Vol'dun. While the villagers were a little hesitant and apprehensive, they accepted Suneza into the village and let him stay in exchange for him helping out around the village, which he happily agreed.
Over the course of the next few months he resided in Rosewood, helping out the villagers and trying to make sense of his situation, as well as train and practice his abilities (martial fighting and magic). He soon discovered, besides arcane magic, he possessed other kinds of magic as well... including Wild Magic. He kept this a secret from the village, but he discovered he had an affinity for Fel, Shadow, and even Temporal magic too, alongside a boost in arcane magic. And these magic were twisted in such a way that creates Wild Magic whenever he tries to use magic or cast a spell. Over this time he began to fell in love with someone in the village, a human girl by the name of Rosemerry. They hit it off perfectly, and their chemestry was apparent too. He would often show Rosemerry his training and him practicing magic to impress her. He especially took her to the mage tower in the village, where they would chat while Suneza studied magical tomes. He was able to quickly learn and grow in spellcasting, having an innate connection to magic as a sorcerer.

One day when Suneza was in the mage tower, he was practicing a few harmless spells with Rosemerry watching on the side. Things were going smoothly, until a devastating wild surge happened while he was casting, causing a large explosion of pyrokinetic energy that engulfed Rosewood in flames. The town was in flames, and townspeople were evacuated. Despite the damage the spell caused to the mage tower, Suneza managed to survive, however ironically the only casualty of his spell mishap was Rosemerry. Suneza was incredibily traumatized how he had killed the woman he loved, and without really thinking he ran away from the village, not even stopping to help the damages he caused.

Suneza was incredibly traumatized by how he had killed the woman he loved, and without really thinking he ran away from the village, not even stopping to help the damages he caused.
Suneza fled south, away from Lordaeron and the Northern Kingdoms. He wasn't sure where he was going, but eventually he ended up in the Kingdom of Stormwind. This was during the later period of the [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/First_War First War], and the humans were facing defeat. Suneza ended up getting wrapped up in the war; and he joined the Stormwind army who wanted to take all the help they could at that point. He was rusty when it came to real combat and battles; he fought quite a bit when he lived in Rosewood, but that was mainly for small threats, such as animals, bandits, and the occasional small-time bounty. So he was going to be a little inexperienced and rusty. Even though he was wrapped up in the war and was preoccupied with it, what he did in Rosewood still haunted him - and he was very reluctant to use his magic in fear of causing a wild surge, which did happen a few times during the war. Suneza survived the war and the destruction of Stormwind, albeit quite injured. He helped rescue some of the civilians and sailed to Hillsbrad with the rest of the survivors.
Returning back to Hillsbrad was a haunting experience. He was still haunted and scarred by what he did in Rosewood, and now that the fighting was over for now, he had time to sit and reflect on what happened, which made things even worse for him and his PTSD. Seeing Stormwind burned down and destroyed didn't help one bit either. He left the army and he left Southshore, and for the next couple years he remained in isolation somewhere in Lordaeron; afraid of who'd he hurt next with his Wild Magic. Eventually he'd stumble upon a Kirin Tor mage, who was sent out to investigate Suneza. She introduced herself as [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Magister Lydine Iceheart]]. The Quel'dorei Cryomancer saw potential in Suneza, however, and after some self-deliberation wanted to bring him out of isolation. So she took the vulpera to the city of Dalaran, even though Suneza was very reluctant (and almost resistant) at first, fearing he might cause more trouble than he's worth. While in Dalaran and while deciding on what to do she discovered chaotic magics residing within him - Arcane, Fel, Shadow, and Time magic from the Twisting Nether all converged together, twisting together to form Wild Magic (or Wild Energy). [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] was very alarmed by this as the energies had a chance to tear Suneza apart. So she intended to purge the energies out of him with a ritual, however she soon learned attempts to cleanse it were too dangerous, and had a chance of ripping Suneza apart and killing him anyways, and injuring anyone around him. So it was actually safer to leave it alone.
[[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] agreed to be Suneza's mentor from this point on -- she wanted to keep an eye on him, and make sure his Wild Magic doesn't get out of hand, but she also sympathized with him too. She still saw great potential in Suneza, and wanted him to use his potential for good. So she took him under her wing as an Apprentice, and let him stay with her in Dalaran to work on Suneza's magical talents, and study his Wild Magic as well, and to try and let him control it to a degree and keep it from boiling up and killing him later. She kept this fact a secret from the rest of the Kirin Tor to protect Suneza, about his chaotic and unstable energies, and his rare Wild Magic. Eventually the [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Second_War Second War] reaches the shores of Lordaeron, leaving Hillsbrad under attack by the orcish Horde. Dalaran was a part of the Council of Seven Nations, and later the Alliance of Lordaeron, so they sent troops and mages to fight in the war. [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] volunteered to fight against the Horde to protect Lordaeron and Dalaran, and Suneza joined his Magister in the war as well, fighting under the banner of Dalaran (even though he isn't a Kirin Tor member). He didn't forget about his initial mistakes with his magic and Wild Magic, and it took a lot of mental strength to use it because of his fear of letting it go awry and killing the people he cares about. But, just like a light switch, something changed - this was mostly after the war, but he started to embrace Wild Magic more; and he started to not be so afraid of using his magic even if there was a chance of it going wrong. He thought that the more he used it, the more he practiced it, the easier it would be to use and control his magic, and even master it, even though it seemed mastering Wild Magic was nigh impossible. But he (mostly) embraced the unpredictability of it, seeing it almost like a gamble; for good or for worse.
He began developing his fighting style and techniques as a Spellblade, combining martial combat skills with offensive and defensive magic, and that became his signature and preferred way of combat. And it minimized the risk of a bad wild surge if he mainly used sword fighting. Eventually they were pushed back, and Dalaran became under attack by the orcs. It wasn't a full scale invasion, but Suneza and [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] fiercely protected the city until they were driven back and helped in the rebuilding process. A notable highlight is that Suneza saved a ship full of Alliance members using an accidental teleport spell, which caused him to become interested in Telemancy, and lead him to pursue it further after the war. Eventually they made their last stand at Capital City, but thankfully the Horde was pushed back after they lost Gul'dan and his forces, and they were able to clean up the rest of the Horde forces. Post-War, Suneza returned to Dalaran with [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]], where she officially started Suneza's training and mentorship. He eventually became an official citizen of Dalaran (but not the Kirin Tor, which he has a disinterest in joining because of his chaotic good nature). Alongside battle-magic and Wild Magic practice, he finally dove into Telemancy and started experimenting with it, alongside Transmutation magic in general. He was mainly mentored (and trained) directly under [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] herself, but he attended the school [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] officially taught at and was a mage trainer at as well. Throughout the next few years Suneza attended the school, was mentored by Lydine, and honed his arcane and magical talents, and his combat skills too. He mainly practiced by joining Horde / Orc hunting parties by the Alliance, and while he couldn't care less about (or even like) their internment, he used the opportunity to face off against any formidable opponents he could find, regardless of how reckless it was. Lydine also helped to find and gather his missing memories from before the First War, trying to figure out exactly who Suneza is, where he came from, and what happened for him to randomly land him in the Eastern Kingdoms.
At the very inception of the [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Third_War Third War], Thrall led the orc uprising across the region, and started fighting for and liberating the orcs across Lordaeron's internment camps. Suneza was quickly dragged into the mess because of Dalaran's proximity to the Lordamere Internment Camp, which they controlled, and he was called to protect the Dalaran region and towns from orc raids. He heard the rumors of a plague spreading throughout Lordaeron around the same time, but he wasn't really concerned about it, with the orc uprising, and protecting his people in the Dalaran region. News of the Culling of Stratholme shocked Gold, and by then the orc liberation was already dissipated; and Thrall's Horde sailed to Kalimdor, so there wasn't much for him to do but stand by. A couple months passed by and Arthas returned from Northrend to officially start the Scourging of Lordaeron; and scourged Capital City and Quel'thalas. By the time news reached Dalaran, Suneza was just speechless about just how the two largest nations in the Northern regions could fall so quickly because of this new Scourge threat. Everyone was at unease, and he was worried when Dalaran was next. Some days later when he was on the outskirts of Dalaran, he saw a sight that made his heart drop - a large army of undead marching towards the city. After being frozen in fear for a few moments he teleported back to Dalaran and warned everyone about the impending invasion, but they already knew.
Suneza was hoping they'd be safe in Dalaran's wards and enchantments to stop the undead, but they were in vain and Arthas and his Scourge pressed on. As the Scourge pressed into the city Suneza and [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] focused on defending it from the undead onslaught, and saving as many citizens as they could. However the more they fought on, [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] realized that the city was already lost. But Suneza pressed on, seemingly putting himself in incredible danger just to protect those around him, without caring about himself - and he just focused on meeting the flesh of the undead with his blade, and blasting them apart with his magic. At one point Suneza got cornered in the street, and surrounded by undead forces. Despite trying to fend them off he was severely injured, and almost killed if it weren't for [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] bailing him out. This was the last straw for [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]], so in a bid to protect her apprentice she used a teleport spell to send them away from the city, thinking they've already done what they could. After Dalaran's total destruction by Archimonde, the survivors were left to pick up the pieces. [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] stayed behind in the ruins of Dalaran to rebuild and recover, while Suneza joined the [http://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Human_Expedition Kalimdor Expedition] and the Alliance refugees led by Jaina Proudmoore to flee to Kalimdor. After reaching Kalimdor, Gold stuck with the expedition to offer protection and magical support to the refugees, even if he was still a little wounded
The expedition ran into trouble with the Warsong clan and locked into battle with them until Thrall found and broke them up. In their base camp, there was a lot to think about for Suneza. He had lost yet another home, and he was separated from his only guide and mentor. He was lost, and didn't know what to do, and was feeling absolutely horrible too. He mainly kept to himself, and rarely talked to anyone about what happened, until he was helped by a human sorceress from Dalaran who shared the same pain. Elizabeth Orchid, who eventually got him to open up, and she even helped him a little as well until he got back on his feet. Eventually they ran into another problem; despite Thrall's Horde and the Jaina's Alliance sharing a tenuous peace treaty to work together, Grom ran into conflict with the Kaldorei, until unbeknownst to him he drank demon blood again and became Fel crazed, killing Cenarius. They needed to stop Grom and the Warsong clan, so he helped fight the Warsong orcs alongside the expedition and the rest of the Horde - there were even Demons involved, which was actually the first time he encountered them. With the death of Mannoroth, it marked the first invasion of Kalimdor by Archimonde and the Legion. And when the Battle for Mount Hyjal happened and Archimonde pushed towards Nordrassil, Suneza was there defending the base camps from Archimonde's forces, and despite being pushed back, a decisive battle took place in Nordrassil itself which resulted in the defeat of Archimonde, and resulted in the official end of the Third War.
After the battle, instead of returning back to the Eastern Kingdoms he stayed in Kalimdor for a while, and stayed in the newly founded port city of Theramore. He wanted to stay in touch with Elizabeth who was going to settle in the city. He was uneasy and unhappy with the non-aggression pact with the Horde though, still unable to trust them after years of fighting, but he was willing to tolerate them and not get into any conflicts with them either. He was also willing to join and stay in the newly established Grand Alliance which Theramore was now a part of. Throughout this time he helped aid the refugees in Theramore, and he even worked on the magical defenses of the city, and worked in their mage tower. And he also used his talents as a Spellblade and Battle-Mage when he needed to. Eventually after a couple months passed, and after receiving word back from [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]], he left Theramore and Elizabeth behind to return to his former home and reunite with his mentor. And so he sailed back to the Eastern Kingdoms. After meeting up with [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] again, she explained they retook Dalaran back, even if there was drama with the renamed Blood Elves and Garithos. But Dalaran was now under repairs by the Kirin Tor. Over time he lost contact with Elizabeth, and their friendship faded away, until eventually he hasn't seen her in many years.
In the Eastern Kingdoms again, he helped in the rebuilding process of the city, and killed a lot of demon and undead stragglers around the region too. And he was of course quite surprised with all the events that happened in the Eastern Kingdoms while he was in Kalimdor - especially the formation of the Forsaken and them retaking most of the Lordaeron region and Capital City, now renamed to Undercity. While [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] agreed to continue Suneza's training and mentorship, it had to be suspended for the next three years as she was swamped with work after the Third War. So Suneza became sort of a free agent -- and while he mainly helped [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] and undertook tasks set by her, he became a sort of sellsword, mercenary, and adventurer in the Eastern Kingdoms. Traveling from place to place helping the people there, though he mainly worked for the Alliance, and frequented Stormwind City and Alliance settlements. However he didn't get involved with faction conflicts with the Horde except when it pertained to the safety of Dalaran. But regardless of the new work he was doing, he would still return to the Dalaran dome and help out there. Through the [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Timeline#World_of_Warcraft Vanilla timeline] he would participate in conflicts such as the [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Ahn%27Qiraj_War opening of Ahn'Qiraj], and the war effort associated with it. A notable highlight in Vanilla was Suneza fighting in the Gurabashi Arena for a few months, and even joined an association that hosted the fights, where he got paid a salary and benefits in exchange for regularly fighting in the arena and helping the organization. During the initiation process he had to fight three combatants back to back, while testing his mind in a game of Drakechess in between matches. First time he failed as he was terrible at the game, however the second time, through luck he managed to beat the leader at the game and beat all three combatants within an inch of his life. Because with his last opponent, it was actually an enchanted full armor set. And during the last round a wild surge activated, causing a large pyroblast explosion in the ring - while it obliterated the armor (it was already at low health), he was caught in the blast and was nearly killed by it, causing severe injuries, but he was still alive. At the end of his time in the arena he ran into conflicts with pirates, causing him to eventually leave the arena and Stranglethorn altogether.
When Dalaran's repairs were eventually finished before the [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/War_against_the_Lich_King Northrend campaign], he moved back to his old home - which was now relocated to Northrend, above Crystalsong Forest. When Dalaran and the Kirin Tor established themselves as neutral, allowing members of both the Alliance and Horde into the city, he eventually proclaimed himself to be neutral as well - switching to neutrality, despite not being Kirin Tor. It was a semi-rough transition, as he still had uncertain feelings with the Horde, and because of his affiliation with the Alliance. He still maintained a relationship with them though and has worked with them a little since; still having a bias towards them despite harboring no ill-feelings towards the Horde now. Joining Dalaran's forces, and with the combined effort of the Alliance & Horde he fought in the War Against the Lich King, using Dalaran as their base of operations, and fighting alongside his mentor and teacher, [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] ''(who he found out much earlier is a Blue Dragon, and eventually they became comfortable with each other's secrets - and technically making Suneza a Dragonsworn)''. The same was true when Dalaran was moved to the Broken Isles during the [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Third_invasion_of_the_Burning_Legion Third Invasion of the Burning Legion], where he joined Dalaran's forces against the Burning Legion, and even fought on the Broken Shore when all the Order Halls banded together to storm the Tomb of Sargeras. He chose not to get involved in the [https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Fourth_War Fourth War] when it came after the defeat of Sargeras though, and nothing major changed or happened in his life until the year 39, almost a year before the rediscovery of the Dragon Isles.

* Suneza was in the Legerdemain Lounge in Dalaran late in the year of 39, drinking and eating an early lunch while he had nothing else to do. A High Elf entered and sat down, and Gold gathered up his courage to talk to her, since he was a little non-talkative and shy. She introduced herself as Solana, and she led a caravan of Quel'dorei that had no place to call their own yet. He offered to help them settle in Dalaran with the help of [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]], but she declined as some of their members wouldn't be privy to Dalaran's atmosphere. She then suggested a place in the Western Plaguelands, now renamed to West Eastweald because of restoration efforts, and Gold offered to help the negotiations with the Argent Crusade. But Solana kept Gold's previous idea in mind in case their plan fails.

But Solana kept Gold's previous idea in mind in case their plan failed.
* Sometime later, Suneza teleported Solana and her caravan to Eastweald, and the two soon made their way to Hearthglen. They met with the new leader of the Argents, Jaspen Abbendis, and started negotiating a deal to let Solana and her Quel'dorei caravan have a place to stay in Eastweald. After some moments, Jaspen agreed to let them stay in exchange for them pledging themselves to the Argent Crusade's cause. Gold also pledged himself too, like Solana did. After making it official, and after Jaspen designated a plot for the elves to stay, they went outside to head back to the caravan. Suneza had a little argument with Jaspen about the previous leader, Tirion Fordring, because Jaspen doesn't think fondly about him. And Gold thought that Jaspen was a little too self-centered because of her changes to the Crusade, but that blew over quickly, and the two return back to the others.

* Solana and her caravan settled in a location down the road South of Hearthglen, near Menders Stead, in a town they named Brightglen. The town is under Argent Crusade jurisdiction, however they have their own autonomy as Solana became mayor of Brightglen. Solana was given a residency in Brightglen, and even his own mage tower, because of his help in the first place and founding Brightglen. Over the next several weeks the small town was being built, along with Suneza's mage tower, and he helped with its construction with his magic. He also got along well with Solana during this time, and eventually became good friends with her, along with her advisor, Magus Dra'gon. After the town's construction, Gold had an idea of bringing the Kirin Tor into this, and having them aid Brightglen, and by extention the Argent Crusade, with their extensive knowledge of magic.

* He talked with his mentor and good friend [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine Iceheart]], Magister and high ranking member of the Kirin Tor, about making it happen. She agreed to arrange a meeting between Solana and the Kirin Tor about this. Over the next week [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] used her connections within the Kirin Tor and arranged a meeting with Solana, Suneza, herself, and Archmage Modera, who is a good acquaintance of [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]]. The day came and the four sat in a meeting room within the spires of Dalaran. There was another who joined them though, I'daris Embershine, a Sunreaver mage who opposed the alliance between Dalaran and Quel'dorei of Brightglen. And Solana couldn't attend the meeting, so she had her advisor, Dra'gon, attend in her place. Suneza and Dra'gon pleaded their case to the Archmage. After, some negotiating, and intense arguing with I'daris, she finally agreed to have the Kirin Tor pledge some support for Brightglen, and the Argent Crusade as a whole, as their goals align slightly. But they would need to speak to the leaders of Hearthglen first. Suneza and Dra'gon and Suneza considered it a success, and so they waited until Modera had a meeting with Jaspen, where they came to an arangment to have the Kirin Tor set up an encampment in Brightglen, where they'll provide their magical support to the town and the Argent Crusade as a whole under a partnership. The Kirin Tor would also have access to resources within Argent territory, and be able to conduct studies within the Plaguelands. And soon that happend, and they officially became partners. The Kirin Tor set up a small division to handle operations within Eastweald, and Modera appointed [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] as the leader of their Eastweald operations, as well as her advisor, Advisor Sunpyre, as co-owner.

* [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] and Sunpyre built the Kirin Tor camp in Western Brightglen, and established portal networks between their camp and Dalaran, and got to work in bringing in members of the Kirin Tor, such as guards, researchers, diplomats, and even battle-mages. During this time Gold had an idea of starting a business using his large mage tower, using it as a mage's hotspot and a magic shop for townsfolk and visitors, and also a library too for world events. He got to work on making this true, and that's where Gold's Arcane Emporium® was born. He even got funding and investors from the Kirin Tor camp, so they can supply him with books, tomes, and magical items and reagents for the shop. And so he started working on the inside of the shop, which has two floors available to customers and visitors (with the third and top floor dedicated to his living space), and designing posters for the grand opening.

During this time Gold had an idea of starting a business using his large mage tower, using it as a mage's hotspot and a magic shop for townsfolk and visitors, and also a library too for world events. He got to work on making this true, and that's where Gold's Arcane Emporium® was born. He even got funding and investors from the Kirin Tor camp, so they can supply him with books, tomes, and magical items and reagents for the shop. And so he started working on the inside of the shop, which has two floors available to customers and visitors (with the third and top floor dedicated to his living space), and designing posters for the grand opening.
* Sometime later, after the Kirin Tor settled in Eastweald, Suneza got his first official mission from the Argent Crusade. He was assigned to investigate a strange disturbance in the Plaguelands, and he was assigned to work with Elma Ravenholt on this (a special Ops Agent for the Argents). After getting special passes to enter the Plaguelands, they traveled to the Thondroil River bridge and crossed into the Plaguelands. Shortly after crossing, they encountered a tauren woman, who revealed herself to be a Chronomancer after she forcibly sent them back in time. They woke up by the Thondroil River and gathered their bearings. After walking down the road into Western Eastweald, Suneza estimated their location in time, and what had happened - which had to be before the Cataclysm, but after the Third War (Vanilla timeline). While thinking of a way to go back, they decided to have a little fun while in the past.[[File:SunezaAi3.png|thumb|Suneza in Different Clothes (with AI)]]

* They traveled to past Hearthglen, which was still under the control of the Scarlets. They sneaked in with Scarlet tabards, and Gold disguised himself as a human, before entering the Scarlet occupied town. While walking and trying not to draw attention to themselves, they saw a training session in the courtyard with Scarlet soldiers and fighters, but they also saw Jaspen there too, dressed in a Scarlet Commander uniform. She was harshly giving orders and punishments to the recruits, and she seemed completely different back then. Neither Gold or Elma knew that Jaspen was a former Scarlet Commander. But while they were watching, they were confronted by a nearby worker. Suneza attempted to bribe him into leaving them alone, however he didn't take it, and a chase ensued through the town streets. His illusion was also lifted and he was fleeing in his vulpera form. Before they could leave the gates Elma was captured, but Suneza was able to escape using precisely time teleports and Blinks, as well as using his nimble vulpera body, as he fled into trees.

* Suneza wasn't sure what to do - he felt like he was stranded alone in the past, and his only partner was captured by the Scarlet Crusade. Things seemed to be bleak for Gold, until he ran into Yevir Flint and Smokey LaRue, other members of the Argent Crusade that were put in the same position as Gold and Elma, and sent into the past. Together they thought of a way to rescue Elma and return back to the present. And Gold settled on the idea of finding his mentor in the past, [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]], because they needed all the help they can get. He didn't want to try messing with the teleport network at this point so they traveled on foot until they reached the Dalaran dome. They found past [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] working outside the protective dome covering the city. She was obviously confused and thought it was past Suneza she was talking to, until he explained they were from the future, and their situation. She was very hesitant to agree, but because it was her apprentice she reluctantly did. While they were traveling back to the Western Plaguelands, Suneza found out he could return to the present by teleporting - which he found out accidentally - because of his innate attunement to temporal energies (or at least, he's never tried going back and forth across time before). Using this ability he returned back to present Hearthglen, where he briefly explained the situation to Jaspen and to not send anymore people to the Plaguelands, and traveled back to the past to infultrate Hearthglen.

* [[File:SunezaAI4.png|thumb|Another Suneza that I like (with AI) ★★★★★]]After devising a plan, [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] teleported the four into Hearthglen, behind the keep as to remain hidden. After making sure the coast was clear Smokey LaRue sneaked into the mines and set off an explosion that set fire to the Northern part of Hearthglen. This worked well as a distraction and most soldiers and guards came to check it out, whie [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] turned everyone invisible and sneaked into the keep where Elma was being held. They found their way to the basement, when they saw Elma and other prisoners locked behind bars. But they were discovered by 3 Scarlet soldiers, and they were attacked. They easily overpowered the soldiers with [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]]'s magic, and with Suneza and the two dwarves helping dispatch them. They made sure not to actually kill the soliders though, and tended to their wounds when they were knocked out. After that they unlocked the prison, and Suneza conjured a portal to the Dalaran dome for everyone to escape through (even the other prisoners). After Suneza said his goodbyes to past [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]], he transported the party back to the preasent, and after that Elma left to report back to the Argent Crusade.

* They learned they were actually gone for close to a few months, due to time dilation involving the Rogue Chronomancer's magic, even though they were only gone for a couple weeks at most. And going forward in time, he also missed the deadline for his grand opening of Gold's Arcane Emporium®, which hurt Gold a little bit, and he was very behind on it. So over time he continued working on his shop and getting ready for it to open, but a new problem would be brewing on the horizon. This is where Suneza first meets Aunore Sunstrider, the new Queen and ruler of Quel'thalas (after Grand Magister Rommath and Ranger-General Halduron Brightwing disapeared after a problem in the Ghostlands, and Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron stepping down after, leading the last remaining Sunstrider to seize the throne). She appeared on the docks behind Hearthglen, demanding to take Solana with her back to Silvermoon, or for her to be deported back. She was obviously denied as Solana is a citizen of the Argent Crusade, and she no longer has ties back to Quel'thalas. Aunore wasn't happy with this, so she vowed to take the "traitor" Solana back one way or another. Suneza was there too and watched the whole thing unfold, and this wouldn't be the last time they had problems with Aunore and the Sin'dorei. She manged to get Solana to open up about this, and he learned Aunore and her were past lovers, but after Solana left things became messy, leading to Aunore wanting to get her back after she came to power.

* Aunore and the Sin'dorei also became a problem for the Argent Crusade over this, and they had diplomatic problems too. Aunore and her Sin'dorei set up a camp near the Thondroil River on the Plaguelands side to intimidate the Argent Crusade into giving them Solana, however they wouldn't budge. Suneza also had problems with this and thought it was bullshit, and voved to protect Solana and act as her bodyguard, wanting to make sure nothing happens to her. He also thought Aunore was acting like a spoiled child over this, and began to become suspicious of her and how exactly she came to power; and started to consider it illegitimate. A couple months later, Solana, Brightglen's mayor, held a speech in the town. She expressed regret involving Aunore and the problems she's caused for her people and the Argent Crusade, and so she offered to give herself up to the Sin'dorei and Aunore if it meant protecting them. Gold was even more shocked to hear this, and wanted to protest, until eventually Sunreaver mages appeared and attempted to abduct Solana. Without thinking Suneza jumped into action and attacked the Sunreavers, and he manged to take down all but one, who opened a portal to Silvermoon and tossed Solana through it, and escaped through the portal. And there was nothing he could do once Solana was on the other side.

He also thought Aunore was acting like a spoiled child over this, and began to become suspicious of her and how exactly she came to power; and started to consider it illegitimate. It was around this time he finally worked on the (belayed) grand opening of Gold's Arcane Emporium®, however because of the messy way he handed it before (and for being gone for months), business was a little slow and it wasn't earning much, but that was mainly because of a lack of awareness and promotion. In the Emporium he employed Nemaaru to run the place in his absence, and also some guardians (along with magical traps and wards) to protect his goods from thieves.
* Suneza was struck with intense grief and regret about not being able to save or protect Solana, and he was also filled with unfathomable anger towards Aunore, however by the time they were gone, Dra'gon and Kaelitha Starshooter (an Argent Crusade Spell Shooter) arrived. Gold explained the situation to them, and that he wasn't able to save her. After, they reported the incident to Jaspen and her advisor (Thalion Sunwshiper), and they had an emergency meeting (with [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] there too) about what to do. They recognized Aunore and the Sin'dorei broke the law and unlawfully abducted a member of the Crusade on their soil, but Jaspen was reluctant to declare war on Silvermoon. After some deliberation, Gold suggested they go to Quel'thalas in a rescue mission with a small party to rescue Solana, and while they were a little hesitant, they finally agreed, as Suneza was going to do that no matter what, and he wasn't in the best state of mind after Solana's capture (and he was acting rash). [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] reluctantly offered to tag along -- she normally would never want to do something this, as they would be breaking the law, but she was very protective over her apprentice, and wanted to see him safe. And Jaspen gave them the go ahead too. The rescue team consisted of Suneza, [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]], Kaelitha, Eliza Coffer and Lisa Ashmane (Two other Kirin Tor members).
* During this period, and really ever since they got back from the past, strange events have been happening in the Plaguelands. It became a lot more dangerous, and people have been going missing, let alone the teleportation problems with people being snatched when trying to use the teleport network. The Argent Crusade and the Kirin Tor issued a ban on travel through the Plaguelands until it's been resolved. It all started with a mysterious lightning strike above Stratholme. Suneza was informed of a caravan of vulpera passing through Eastweald, but they wanted to cross into the Plaguelands to reach Quel'thalas, and so he was asked to get them to stop. When Suneza and a couple others made it to the Thondroil bridge, he found the caravan leader arguing with the border guards about the travel ban. Suneza tried to convince them and plead that traveling through the Plaguelands now is a death sentence, however they wouldn't listen. After some more resisting on the caravan's part, the guards eventually let the vulpera pass through and cross into the Plaguelands, and into the dense fog covering the region. Suneza was left standing there watching them leave, hoping that their leader's stupidity didn't get them killed, and they made it through.
* After some planning, the day came to initiate the rescue. [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] teleported the 5 to ouside the border to the Ghostlands (as they didn't want to be discovered or noticed teleporting ''within'' Quel'thalas), and she gave them all Blood Elven disguises and names. Kaelitha has a blood elven friend in the Ghostlands (Eira Moonweaver), so they traveled there in order to get her help. She elaborated on what she knows about Aunore, her regime, and the state of Quel'thalas as well. She also explained that Solana was having a trial in the Isle of Quel'danas, and most likely was going to be executed. Suneza was very tempted to just teleport there and charge into wherever Solana was being held, but [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] calmed him down, explaining they needed to keep a level head if they wanted their mission to work. She directed them to Master Elrendar, an archivist and record keeper for Silvermoon. He's being monitored and watched by Aunore's regime for speaking out against them, and he's been forced to stay (or near) Silvermoon ever since. While traveling to Eversong, they came across what the problem was in the Ghostlands. They were ambushed and attacked by Fel corrupted elves and demons that were causing trouble in the region. It wasn't an easy fight, and Suneza and Eliza were kind of injured, but after dispatching the threats they continued on to Eversong to find Elrendar. They found him wandering the road outside of Falconwing Square. After explaining the situation, he agreed to help find them passage to Quel'danas. But they had to hurry, as Solana's trial and execution was going to be soon. He took them to a neutral draenei merchant, Kaalif, who sailed the party to the Isle.[[File:In-Game Screenshot Suneza 1.png|thumb|In-Game Screenshot of Suneza (Dalaran)]][[File:In-Game Screenshot Suneza 2.png|thumb|In-Game Screenshot of Suneza (Brightglen)]]

Without thinking Suneza jumped into action and attacked the Sunreavers, and he managed to take down all but one, who opened a portal to Silvermoon and tossed Solana through it, and escaped through the portal. And there was nothing he could do once Solana was on the other side.
* Upon arriving on the Isle of Quel'danas, they quickly headed inside the Sunwell Plateau and to the courtroom that was within, while trying not to draw suspicions to themselves. When they make it to the courtroom, they find a bunch of citizens and nobles being hearded out of the courtroom, and there was a commotion between them. And there was no Solana in sight. The party went up to the prosecutor and defense of the trial (Ernest Van Sunweaver and Estellas Dawnshard) to ask what happened. The trial was over and the verduct was handed down - a guilty verduct, for Solana's betrayal of Quel'thalas, and of Aunore, despite the defenses best attempts. She was sentenced to be executed in the Sunwell chambers until a portal appeared with a masked high elven male who attempted to take Solana, and they fled deeper into the Plateau. The party was confused on what this meant, but Suneza was very relieved that this could buy them enough time to save Solana. They arrived on the crimson bridge connecting to the Sunwell chamber, but they were stopped by the Highguards. They lied and convinced them they were there to witness the execution, and thankfully the Highguards let them pass, saying they could witness it from the balcony. With a silent sigh of relief, they nervously walked inside, while quietly deliberating among themselves on their plan...
* Suneza was struck with intense grief and regret about not being able to save or protect Solana, and he was also filled with unfathomable anger towards Aunore, however by the time they were gone, Dra'Gan and Kaelitha Starshooter (an Argent Crusade Spell Sniper) arrived. Gold explained the situation to them, and that he wasn't able to save her. Afterwards, they reported the incident to Jaspen and her advisor (Thalion Sunwshiper), and they had an emergency meeting (with [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] there too) about what to do.

And Jaspen gave them the go ahead too. The rescue team consisted of Suneza, [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]], Kaelitha, Eliza Coffer and Lisa Ashmane (Two other Kirin Tor members).
* From the balcony above the Sunwell they saw Aunore Sunstrider, along with her newly appointed Grand Magister and Ranger-General (Faelara Arcaneshadow & Verisara Swiftarrow), and also Solana and Dra'gon at the foot of the Sunwell. Suneza was shocked to see Dra'gon here despite saying he was going to stay behind in Brightglen. Right before Aunore was going to execute Solana by throwing her into the Sunwell, the party put their plan into action. It all happened quickly and within the span of 10 seconds - Kaelitha, Eliza, and Suneza attacked the Ranger-General, while [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] took on the Grand Magister and Aunore. And Lisa protected Solana while this was happening. Gold decapitated the Ranger-General in one swift magical slash, however the Grand Magister grabbed Dra'gon and threw him into the Sunwell. [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] tried to save him but wasn't able to, leading to him being incinerated by the Sunwell's power. Suneza yelled out in terror and frustration, seeing his friend executed like that. [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] wanted to end this quickly, so she used part of the Sunwell's power (along with her innate dragon strength), and instantly froze the Grand Magister - and shattered the ice, killing her. She also encapsulated Aunore, and she wanted to kill her too - but she managed to resist. [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] just left the Queen frozen in a block of Sunwell empowered ice, and took the dazed Solana and teleported the party away to Ironforge.

[[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] opened a portal back to Hearthglen, and Kaelitha, Eliza, and Lisa took Solana with them and reported back to Jaspen, while Suneza and [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] stayed behind in Ironforge and dealt with their own problems and events (as described in [https://docs.google.com/document/d/12sDj0ZqX6pux8_zqtwGx2mfUADwHPUkkM87srdIqqig/edit?usp=sharing this short story]). In short they returned to Dalaran where Suneza had problems controling his emotions following Dra'gon's death, and his anger with Aunore, causing problems inside him (because of his Wild Magic, and the different energies inside him). If not taken care of, it would kill him, so [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] used a ritual to soothe Suneza's demons, and get his emotions and energies under control. They eventually reported what happened to Advisor Jane (Modera's second advisor), where they explained the situation, and what they did in Quel'thalas. Eventually [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] would be arrested by the Dalaran guards, because the Blood Elves sent diplomats to Dalaran and handed the Kirin Tor a warrent for [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Magister Iceheart]]'s arrest, demanding she stand trial in Quel'thalas for her allegedly killing the Grand Magister, and being an accomplice in killing the Ranger-General and freeing Solana. However they weren't expecting Jaspen's, Suneza's, Kaelitha's, Eliza's, or Lisa's involvement, though.

Eventually [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] would be arrested by the Dalaran guards, because the Blood Elves sent diplomats to Dalaran and handed the Kirin Tor a warrant for [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Magister Iceheart]]'s arrest, demanding she stand trial in Quel'thalas for her allegedly killing the Grand Magister, and being an accomplice in killing the Ranger-General and freeing Solana. However they weren't expecting Jaspen's, Suneza's, Kaelitha's, Eliza's, or Lisa's involvement, though.
* After returning to Eastweald, he reported back to Sunpyre and briefly explained the situation, before traveling to Hearthglen and finding Jaspen and Solana. While in Mardenholde Keep he ran into Georgia Angevin, who told him where Solana is being kept at, in a spare room in the keep. The door was being guarded by Belthiriel Sunseeker, Solana's bodyguard, and he let them pass. Georgia left Suneza alone in the room, and the vulpera saw Solana, unconscious and sleeping on the bed in the corner. His ears flattened and looked quite dejected about what happened, but he kept his emotions in check. He just sat on the edge of the bed, on the wooden part, and contemplated until Elarielle Henrietta, half-elven High Justiciar of the Argents, walked in. The two talked and Gold explained what happened in Dalaran, with [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]]'s arrest. However Elarielle reassured Gold it was going to work out - and that the Argent Crusade and Kirin Tor will work together in freeing his Magister and fixing things, as well as confronting Aunore too. She also suggested he stay in Hearthglen to look after Solana and to protect her while they sort things out. They also found out the trial/extradition date was in two weeks.
* '''(Current Timeline)''' So during this time Suneza mainly stayed in Hearthglen and kept watch on Solana, making sure nothing happened to her, while he was still endlessly worrying about [[Lydine (Azeroth)|Lydine]] and her situation. Even though he mainly stayed in Hearthglen, he gradually returned back to Brightglen to work in his shop to try and keep his mind off of things. During the week, an ambassador from Radiant Vigil (formerly known as Westdale) and the Luminar Arcanum <small>(a group that broke away from the Argent Crusade ever since they were isolated due to the teleportation issues in the Plaguelands, and they have a "tenuous" relationship with the Argent Crusade)</small>, Thaelis Sunwhisper, arrived in Brightglen to negotiate and strike a partnership with the Kirin Tor, because they are similarly aligned. She first stopped in Gold's Arcane Emporium® where she met Suneza, and bought something there. The two bonded and chatted a little and Gold accompanied Thaelis to the Kirin Tor camp nearby. He sat and watched the negotiations take place, and things ended well between the two factions. When Thaelis was about to return to the Radiant Vigil in the Plaguelands, Suneza and Lisa Ashmane offered to bodyguard her on the way back. But before they could make it out of Eastweald, the three were ambushed by agents of the Kirin Tor and Silver Covenant. Thaelis couldn't fight, so Gold and Lisa protected her and fended off the attackers. The agents seemed to be empowered by certain magic and it wasn't easy taking them down. During the fighting, Thaelis was confused and scared, so she ran off by herself back to Radiant Vigil. After the two took down the attackers, a mysterious figure appeared; a tall Night Elf cloaked in shadows. Using dark magic they instantly dispatched Gold and Lisa, however they didn't kill them...
* A human who witnessed this reported to nearby guards that she saw Gold and Lisa attack the ambassador, along with the Silver Covenant and Kirin Tor agents, even though that was far from true. The two were arrested because they displayed erratic behavior, and admitted that Sunpyre put them up to it, but sometime later they found themselves back at the Kirin Tor camp. Word soon got out that Gold, Lisa, and Kirin Tor and Silver Covenant agents (allegedly) attacked the diplomat. And the Kirin Tor, along with Jaspen (who believes Sunpyre and Gold's innocence) were scrambling trying to figure out what happened and who orchestrated the ambush. Sunpyre found out that Lisa and Gold were laced with mind altering magic, and that explained their erratic/hostile behavior and false memories. Sunpyre did what he could to extract the dark magic out of the two, and for the time being Suneza wasn't allowed to go near the Kirin Tor camp. They also found a letter that Gold picked up at one point that hinted about the planned ambush and something about a set up.

== Personal Details ==
Suneza (nicknamed Gold) is a wild mage sorcerer that has arcane, temporal, fel and shadow magic infused within him from a temporal anomaly incident in Vol'dun that resulted in him gaining these powers and abilities, namely Wild Magic. Because of these chaotic and different forces inside him, they react to his spellcasting quite differently than normal, resulting in unintended (possibily random or unstable) effects if he isn't careful, ranging from amazing, good, neutral, bad, or catastrophic. He's learned to be able to control the outcomes and when a surge happens with training over the years, to a certain extent. But his Wild Magic still happens seemingly randomly whenever he uses magic or casts a spell. He considers himself a free spirit, wanting to help the people he wants to help, and not helping the people he doesn't. Gold is very sensitive to time magic/energies, and he doesn't seem to age no matter how much time passes. He's currently helping the High Elves of Brightglen as well as the Argent Crusade.

Vulpera
Class
Battle-Mage / Wild Mage / Spellblade
(Arcane, Time, Frost, and even Fel and Shadow magic)
The Azeroth Calendar here uses the After Dark Portal (ADP) system, where Year 0 marks the Dark Portal’s opening, and Year 20 ADP aligns with the Culling of Stratholme during the Third War. The current year is 40 ADP.
The Northern Kingdom's custom months (e.g., Springtide for March, and Verdantfall for August) overlay this timeline. Verdantfall is Suneza's birth month.
Suneza woke up in the Northern Eastern Kingdoms, in the Lordaeron region, a few months before the First War. He had amnesia, with little knowledge on what happened to him before or who he was. He retained his name, magical knowledge, and his sword skills, and some of his memories. Even though he had magical knowledge, and to be honest it wasn't very great, his sword skills were a lot better though. He found himself in a small village in Hillsbrad named Rosewood, and the humans were amazed by the walking talking fox, as they've never seen a vulpera before (and to be honest Suneza wasn't quite sure either with his amnesia), and they were a rare sight outside of Vol'dun. While the villagers were a little hesitant and apprehensive, they accepted Suneza into the village and let him stay in exchange for him helping out around the village, which he happily agreed.
Over the course of the next few months he resided in Rosewood, helping out the villagers and trying to make sense of his situation, as well as train and practice his abilities (martial fighting and magic). He soon discovered, besides arcane magic, he possessed other kinds of magic as well... including Wild Magic. He kept this a secret from the village, but he discovered he had an affinity for Fel, Shadow, and even Temporal magic too, alongside a boost in arcane magic. And these magic were twisted in such a way that creates Wild Magic whenever he tries to use magic or cast a spell. Over this time he began to fall in love with someone in the village, a human girl by the name of Rosemerry. They hit it off perfectly, and their chemistry was apparent too. He would often show Rosemerry his training and him practicing magic to impress her. He especially took her to the mage tower in the village, where they would chat while Suneza studied magical tomes. He was able to quickly learn and grow in spellcasting, having an innate connection to magic as a sorcerer.
One day when Suneza was in the mage tower, he was practicing a few harmless spells with Rosemerry watching on the side. Things were going smoothly, until a devastating wild surge happened while he was casting, causing a large explosion of pyrokinetic energy that engulfed Rosewood in flames. The town was in flames, and townspeople were evacuated. Despite the damage the spell caused to the mage tower, Suneza managed to survive, however ironically the only casualty of his spell mishap was Rosemerry. Suneza was incredibly traumatized by how he had killed the woman he loved, and without really thinking he ran away from the village, not even stopping to help the damages he caused.
Suneza fled south, away from Lordaeron and the Northern Kingdoms. He wasn't sure where he was going, but eventually he ended up in the Kingdom of Stormwind. This was during the later period of the First War, and the humans were facing defeat. Suneza ended up getting wrapped up in the war; and he joined the Stormwind army who wanted to take all the help they could at that point. He was rusty when it came to real combat and battles; he fought quite a bit when he lived in Rosewood, but that was mainly for small threats, such as animals, bandits, and the occasional small-time bounty. So he was going to be a little inexperienced and rusty. Even though he was wrapped up in the war and was preoccupied with it, what he did in Rosewood still haunted him - and he was very reluctant to use his magic in fear of causing a wild surge, which did happen a few times during the war. Suneza survived the war and the destruction of Stormwind, albeit quite injured. He helped rescue some of the civilians and sailed to Hillsbrad with the rest of the survivors.
Returning back to Hillsbrad was a haunting experience. He was still haunted and scarred by what he did in Rosewood, and now that the fighting was over for now, he had time to sit and reflect on what happened, which made things even worse for him and his PTSD. Seeing Stormwind burned down and destroyed didn't help one bit either. He left the army and he left Southshore, and for the next couple years he remained in isolation somewhere in Lordaeron; afraid of who'd he hurt next with his Wild Magic. Eventually he'd stumble upon a Kirin Tor mage, who was sent out to investigate Suneza. She introduced herself as Magister Lydine Iceheart. The Quel'dorei Cryomancer saw potential in Suneza, however, and after some self-deliberation wanted to bring him out of isolation. So she took the vulpera to the city of Dalaran, even though Suneza was very reluctant (and almost resistant) at first, fearing he might cause more trouble than he's worth. While in Dalaran and while deciding on what to do she discovered chaotic magics residing within him - Arcane, Fel, Shadow, and Time magic from the Twisting Nether all converged together, twisting together to form Wild Magic (or Wild Energy). Lydine was very alarmed by this as the energies had a chance to tear Suneza apart. So she intended to purge the energies out of him with a ritual, however she soon learned attempts to cleanse it were too dangerous, and had a chance of ripping Suneza apart and killing him anyways, and injuring anyone around him. So it was actually safer to leave it alone.
Lydine agreed to be Suneza's mentor from this point on -- she wanted to keep an eye on him, and make sure his Wild Magic doesn't get out of hand, but she also sympathized with him too. She still saw great potential in Suneza, and wanted him to use his potential for good. So she took him under her wing as an Apprentice, and let him stay with her in Dalaran to work on Suneza's magical talents, and study his Wild Magic as well, and to try and let him control it to a degree and keep it from boiling up and killing him later. She kept this fact a secret from the rest of the Kirin Tor to protect Suneza, about his chaotic and unstable energies, and his rare Wild Magic. Eventually the Second War reaches the shores of Lordaeron, leaving Hillsbrad under attack by the orcish Horde. Dalaran was a part of the Council of Seven Nations, and later the Alliance of Lordaeron, so they sent troops and mages to fight in the war. Lydine volunteered to fight against the Horde to protect Lordaeron and Dalaran, and Suneza joined his Magister in the war as well, fighting under the banner of Dalaran (even though he isn't a Kirin Tor member). He didn't forget about his initial mistakes with his magic and Wild Magic, and it took a lot of mental strength to use it because of his fear of letting it go awry and killing the people he cares about. But, just like a light switch, something changed - this was mostly after the war, but he started to embrace Wild Magic more; and he started to not be so afraid of using his magic even if there was a chance of it going wrong. He thought that the more he used it, the more he practiced it, the easier it would be to use and control his magic, and even master it, even though it seemed mastering Wild Magic was nigh impossible. But he (mostly) embraced the unpredictability of it, seeing it almost like a gamble; for good or for worse.
He began developing his fighting style and techniques as a Spellblade, combining martial combat skills with offensive and defensive magic, and that became his signature and preferred way of combat. And it minimized the risk of a bad wild surge if he mainly used sword fighting. Eventually they were pushed back, and Dalaran became under attack by the orcs. It wasn't a full scale invasion, but Suneza and Lydine fiercely protected the city until they were driven back and helped in the rebuilding process. A notable highlight is that Suneza saved a ship full of Alliance members using an accidental teleport spell, which caused him to become interested in Telemancy, and lead him to pursue it further after the war. Eventually they made their last stand at Capital City, but thankfully the Horde was pushed back after they lost Gul'dan and his forces, and they were able to clean up the rest of the Horde forces. Post-War, Suneza returned to Dalaran with Lydine, where she officially started Suneza's training and mentorship. He eventually became an official citizen of Dalaran (but not the Kirin Tor, which he has a disinterest in joining because of his chaotic good nature). Alongside battle-magic and Wild Magic practice, he finally dove into Telemancy and started experimenting with it, alongside Transmutation magic in general. He was mainly mentored (and trained) directly under Lydine herself, but he attended the school Lydine officially taught at and was a mage trainer at as well. Throughout the next few years Suneza attended the school, was mentored by Lydine, and honed his arcane and magical talents, and his combat skills too. He mainly practiced by joining Horde / Orc hunting parties by the Alliance, and while he couldn't care less about (or even like) their internment, he used the opportunity to face off against any formidable opponents he could find, regardless of how reckless it was. Lydine also helped to find and gather his missing memories from before the First War, trying to figure out exactly who Suneza is, where he came from, and what happened for him to randomly land him in the Eastern Kingdoms.
At the very inception of the Third War, Thrall led the orc uprising across the region, and started fighting for and liberating the orcs across Lordaeron's internment camps. Suneza was quickly dragged into the mess because of Dalaran's proximity to the Lordamere Internment Camp, which they controlled, and he was called to protect the Dalaran region and towns from orc raids. He heard the rumors of a plague spreading throughout Lordaeron around the same time, but he wasn't really concerned about it, with the orc uprising, and protecting his people in the Dalaran region. News of the Culling of Stratholme shocked Gold, and by then the orc liberation was already dissipated; and Thrall's Horde sailed to Kalimdor, so there wasn't much for him to do but stand by. A couple months passed by and Arthas returned from Northrend to officially start the Scourging of Lordaeron; and scourged Capital City and Quel'thalas. By the time news reached Dalaran, Suneza was just speechless about just how the two largest nations in the Northern regions could fall so quickly because of this new Scourge threat. Everyone was at unease, and he was worried when Dalaran was next. Some days later when he was on the outskirts of Dalaran, he saw a sight that made his heart drop - a large army of undead marching towards the city. After being frozen in fear for a few moments he teleported back to Dalaran and warned everyone about the impending invasion, but they already knew.
Suneza was hoping they'd be safe in Dalaran's wards and enchantments to stop the undead, but they were in vain and Arthas and his Scourge pressed on. As the Scourge pressed into the city Suneza and Lydine focused on defending it from the undead onslaught, and saving as many citizens as they could. However the more they fought on, Lydine realized that the city was already lost. But Suneza pressed on, seemingly putting himself in incredible danger just to protect those around him, without caring about himself - and he just focused on meeting the flesh of the undead with his blade, and blasting them apart with his magic. At one point Suneza got cornered in the street, and surrounded by undead forces. Despite trying to fend them off he was severely injured, and almost killed if it weren't for Lydine bailing him out. This was the last straw for Lydine, so in a bid to protect her apprentice she used a teleport spell to send them away from the city, thinking they've already done what they could. After Dalaran's total destruction by Archimonde, the survivors were left to pick up the pieces. Lydine stayed behind in the ruins of Dalaran to rebuild and recover, while Suneza joined the Kalimdor Expedition and the Alliance refugees led by Jaina Proudmoore to flee to Kalimdor. After reaching Kalimdor, Gold stuck with the expedition to offer protection and magical support to the refugees, even if he was still a little wounded
The expedition ran into trouble with the Warsong clan and locked into battle with them until Thrall found and broke them up. In their base camp, there was a lot to think about for Suneza. He had lost yet another home, and he was separated from his only guide and mentor. He was lost, and didn't know what to do, and was feeling absolutely horrible too. He mainly kept to himself, and rarely talked to anyone about what happened, until he was helped by a human sorceress from Dalaran who shared the same pain. Elizabeth Orchid, who eventually got him to open up, and she even helped him a little as well until he got back on his feet. Eventually they ran into another problem; despite Thrall's Horde and the Jaina's Alliance sharing a tenuous peace treaty to work together, Grom ran into conflict with the Kaldorei, until unbeknownst to him he drank demon blood again and became Fel crazed, killing Cenarius. They needed to stop Grom and the Warsong clan, so he helped fight the Warsong orcs alongside the expedition and the rest of the Horde - there were even Demons involved, which was actually the first time he encountered them. With the death of Mannoroth, it marked the first invasion of Kalimdor by Archimonde and the Legion. And when the Battle for Mount Hyjal happened and Archimonde pushed towards Nordrassil, Suneza was there defending the base camps from Archimonde's forces, and despite being pushed back, a decisive battle took place in Nordrassil itself which resulted in the defeat of Archimonde, and resulted in the official end of the Third War.
After the battle, instead of returning back to the Eastern Kingdoms he stayed in Kalimdor for a while, and stayed in the newly founded port city of Theramore. He wanted to stay in touch with Elizabeth who was going to settle in the city. He was uneasy and unhappy with the non-aggression pact with the Horde though, still unable to trust them after years of fighting, but he was willing to tolerate them and not get into any conflicts with them either. He was also willing to join and stay in the newly established Grand Alliance which Theramore was now a part of. Throughout this time he helped aid the refugees in Theramore, and he even worked on the magical defenses of the city, and worked in their mage tower. And he also used his talents as a Spellblade and Battle-Mage when he needed to. Eventually after a couple months passed, and after receiving word back from Lydine, he left Theramore and Elizabeth behind to return to his former home and reunite with his mentor. And so he sailed back to the Eastern Kingdoms. After meeting up with Lydine again, she explained they retook Dalaran back, even if there was drama with the renamed Blood Elves and Garithos. But Dalaran was now under repairs by the Kirin Tor. Over time he lost contact with Elizabeth, and their friendship faded away, until eventually he hasn't seen her in many years.
In the Eastern Kingdoms again, he helped in the rebuilding process of the city, and killed a lot of demon and undead stragglers around the region too. And he was of course quite surprised with all the events that happened in the Eastern Kingdoms while he was in Kalimdor - especially the formation of the Forsaken and them retaking most of the Lordaeron region and Capital City, now renamed to Undercity. While Lydine agreed to continue Suneza's training and mentorship, it had to be suspended for the next three years as she was swamped with work after the Third War. So Suneza became sort of a free agent -- and while he mainly helped Lydine and undertook tasks set by her, he became a sort of sellsword, mercenary, and adventurer in the Eastern Kingdoms. Traveling from place to place helping the people there, though he mainly worked for the Alliance, and frequented Stormwind City and Alliance settlements. However he didn't get involved with faction conflicts with the Horde except when it pertained to the safety of Dalaran. But regardless of the new work he was doing, he would still return to the Dalaran dome and help out there. Through the Vanilla timeline he would participate in conflicts such as the opening of Ahn'Qiraj, and the war effort associated with it. A notable highlight in Vanilla was Suneza fighting in the Gurabashi Arena for a few months, and even joined an association that hosted the fights, where he got paid a salary and benefits in exchange for regularly fighting in the arena and helping the organization. During the initiation process he had to fight three combatants back to back, while testing his mind in a game of Drakechess in between matches. First time he failed as he was terrible at the game, however the second time, through luck he managed to beat the leader at the game and beat all three combatants within an inch of his life. Because with his last opponent, it was actually an enchanted full armor set. And during the last round a wild surge activated, causing a large pyroblast explosion in the ring - while it obliterated the armor (it was already at low health), he was caught in the blast and was nearly killed by it, causing severe injuries, but he was still alive. At the end of his time in the arena he ran into conflicts with pirates, causing him to eventually leave the arena and Stranglethorn altogether.
When Dalaran's repairs were eventually finished before the Northrend campaign, he moved back to his old home - which was now relocated to Northrend, above Crystalsong Forest. When Dalaran and the Kirin Tor established themselves as neutral, allowing members of both the Alliance and Horde into the city, he eventually proclaimed himself to be neutral as well - switching to neutrality, despite not being Kirin Tor. It was a semi-rough transition, as he still had uncertain feelings with the Horde, and because of his affiliation with the Alliance. He still maintained a relationship with them though and has worked with them a little since; still having a bias towards them despite harboring no ill-feelings towards the Horde now. Joining Dalaran's forces, and with the combined effort of the Alliance & Horde he fought in the War Against the Lich King, using Dalaran as their base of operations, and fighting alongside his mentor and teacher, Lydine(who he found out much earlier is a Blue Dragon, and eventually they became comfortable with each other's secrets - and technically making Suneza a Dragonsworn). The same was true when Dalaran was moved to the Broken Isles during the Third Invasion of the Burning Legion, where he joined Dalaran's forces against the Burning Legion, and even fought on the Broken Shore when all the Order Halls banded together to storm the Tomb of Sargeras. He chose not to get involved in the Fourth War when it came after the defeat of Sargeras though, and nothing major changed or happened in his life until the year 39, almost a year before the rediscovery of the Dragon Isles.
((Roleplay history with Suneza on August 2022, on Epsilon))
Suneza was in the Legerdemain Lounge in Dalaran late in the year of 39, drinking and eating an early lunch while he had nothing else to do. A High Elf entered and sat down, and Gold gathered up the courage to talk to her, since he was a little non-talkative and shy. She introduced herself as Solana, and she led a caravan of Quel'dorei that had no place to call their own yet. He offered to help them settle in Dalaran with the help of Lydine Iceheart, but she declined as some of their members wouldn't be privy to Dalaran's atmosphere. She then suggested a place in the Western Plaguelands, now renamed to West Eastweald because of restoration efforts, and Gold offered to help the negotiations with the Argent Crusade. But Solana kept Gold's previous idea in mind in case their plan failed.
Sometime later, Suneza teleported Solana and her caravan to Eastweald, and the two soon made their way to Hearthglen. They met with the new leader of the Argents, Jaspen Abbendis, and started negotiating a deal to let Solana and her Quel'dorei caravan have a place to stay in Eastweald. After some moments, Jaspen agreed to let them stay in exchange for them pledging themselves to the Argent Crusade's cause. Gold also pledged himself too, like Solana did. After making it official, and after Jaspen designated a plot for the elves to stay, they headed outside. Suneza had a little argument with Jaspen about the previous leader, Tirion Fordring, because Jaspen doesn't think fondly about him. And Gold thought that Jaspen was a little too self-centered because of her changes to the Crusade, but that blew over quickly, and the two returned back to the rest of the caravan.
Solana and her caravan settled in a location down the road South of Hearthglen, near Menders Stead, in a town they named Brightglen. The town is under Argent Crusade jurisdiction, however they have their own autonomy as Solana became mayor of Brightglen. Suneza was given residency in Brightglen, and even his own mage tower, because of his help in the first place and founding Brightglen. Over the next several weeks the small town was being built, along with Suneza's mage tower, and he helped with its construction with his magic. He also got along well with Solana during this time, and eventually became good friends with her, along with her advisor, Magus Dra'Gan. After the town's construction, Gold had an idea of bringing the Kirin Tor into this, and having them aid Brightglen, and by extension the Argent Crusade, with their extensive knowledge of magic.
He talked with his mentor and good friend Lydine Iceheart, Magister and high ranking member of the Kirin Tor, about making it happen. She agreed to arrange a meeting between Solana and the Kirin Tor about this. Over the next week Lydine used her connections within the Kirin Tor and arranged a meeting between Solana, Suneza, herself, and Archmage Modera, who is a good acquaintance of Lydine, and Modera's two advisors (Advisor Jane & Advisor Sunpyre). The day came and the six sat in a meeting room within the spires of Dalaran. There was another who joined them though, I'daris Embershine, a Sunreaver mage who opposed the alliance between Dalaran and Quel'dorei of Brightglen. And Solana couldn't attend the meeting, so she had her advisor, Dra'Gan, attend in her place. Suneza and Dra'Gan plead their case to the Archmage. After some negotiating, and intense arguing with I'daris, she finally agreed to have the Kirin Tor pledge some support for Brightglen, and the Argent Crusade as a whole, as their goals align slightly. But they would need to speak to the leaders of Hearthglen first. Suneza and Dra'gon and Suneza considered it a success, and so they waited until Modera had a meeting with Jaspen, where they came to an arrangement to have the Kirin Tor set up an encampment in Brightglen, where they'll provide their magical support to the town and the Argent Crusade as a whole under a partnership. The Kirin Tor would also have access to resources within Argent territory, and be able to conduct studies within the Plaguelands. And soon that happened, and they officially became partners. The Kirin Tor set up a small division to handle operations within Eastweald, and Modera appointed Lydine as the leader of their Eastweald operations, as well as her advisor, Advisor Sunpyre, as co-owner.
Lydine and Sunpyre built the Kirin Tor camp in Western Brightglen, and established portal networks between their camp and Dalaran (with Suneza's help), and got to work in bringing in members of the Kirin Tor, such as guards, researchers, diplomats, and even battle-mages. During this time Gold had an idea of starting a business using his large mage tower, using it as a mage's hotspot and a magic shop for townsfolk and visitors, and also a library too for world events. He got to work on making this true, and that's where Gold's Arcane Emporium® was born. He even got funding and investors from the Kirin Tor camp, so they can supply him with books, tomes, and magical items and reagents for the shop. And so he started working on the inside of the shop, which has two floors available to customers and visitors (with the third and top floor dedicated to his living space), and designing posters for the grand opening.
Sometime later, after the Kirin Tor settled in Eastweald, Suneza got his first official mission from the Argent Crusade. He was assigned to investigate a strange disturbance in the Plaguelands, and he was assigned to work with Elma Ravenholt on this (a special Ops Agent for the Argents). After getting special passes to enter the Plaguelands, they traveled to the Thondroil River bridge and crossed into the Plaguelands. Shortly after crossing, they encountered a tauren woman, who revealed herself to be a Chronomancer after she forcibly sent them back in time. They woke up by the Thondroil River and gathered their bearings. After walking down the road into Western Eastweald, Suneza estimated their location in time, and what had happened - which had to be before the Cataclysm, but after the Third War (Vanilla timeline). While thinking of a way to go back, they decided to have a little fun while in the past.Suneza in Different Clothes (with AI)
They traveled to past Hearthglen, which was still under the control of the Scarlets. They sneaked in with Scarlet tabards, and Gold disguised himself as a human, before entering the Scarlet occupied town. While walking and trying not to draw attention to themselves, they saw a training session in the courtyard with Scarlet soldiers and fighters, but they also saw Jaspen there too, dressed in a Scarlet Commander uniform. She was harshly giving out orders and punishments to the recruits, and she seemed completely different back then. Neither Gold nor Elma knew that Jaspen was a former Scarlet Commander. But while they were watching, they were confronted by a nearby worker. Suneza attempted to bribe him into leaving them alone, however he didn't take it, and a chase ensued through the town streets. His illusion was also lifted and he was fleeing in his vulpera form. Before they could leave the gates Elma was captured, but Suneza was able to escape using precisely timed teleports and Blinks, as well as using his nimble vulpera body, where he fled into the woods.
Suneza wasn't sure what to do - he felt like he was stranded alone in the past, and his only partner was captured by the Scarlet Crusade. Things seemed to be bleak for Gold, until he ran into Yevir Flint and Smokey LaRue, other members of the Argent Crusade that were put in the same position as Gold and Elma, and sent into the past. Together they thought of a way to rescue Elma and return back to the present. And Gold settled on the idea of finding his mentor in the past, Lydine, because they needed all the help they could get. He didn't want to try messing with the teleport network at this point so they traveled on foot until they reached the Dalaran dome. They found past Lydine working outside the protective dome covering the city. She was obviously confused and thought it was past Suneza she was talking to, until he explained they were from the future, and their situation. She was very hesitant to agree, but because it was her apprentice she reluctantly did. While they were traveling back to the Western Plaguelands, Suneza found out he could return to the present by teleporting - which he found out accidentally - because of his innate attunement to temporal energies (or at least, he's never tried going back and forth across time before). Using this ability he returned back to present Hearthglen, where he briefly explained the situation to Jaspen and to not send anymore people to the Plaguelands, and traveled back to the past to infiltrate Hearthglen.
Another Suneza that I like (with AI) ★★★★★After devising a plan, Lydine teleported the four into Hearthglen, behind the keep so as to remain hidden. After making sure the coast was clear Smokey LaRue sneaked into the mines and set off an explosion that set fire to the Northern part of Hearthglen. This worked well as a distraction and most soldiers and guards came to check it out, while Lydine turned everyone invisible and sneaked into the keep where Elma was being held. They found their way to the basement, when they saw Elma and other prisoners locked behind bars. But they were discovered by 3 Scarlet soldiers, and they were attacked. They easily overpowered the soldiers with Lydine's magic, and with Suneza and the two dwarves helping dispatch them. They made sure not to actually kill the soldiers though, and tended to their wounds when they were knocked out. After that they unlocked the prison, and Suneza conjured a portal to the Dalaran dome for everyone to escape through (even the other prisoners). After Suneza said his goodbyes to past Lydine, he transported the party back to the present, and after that Elma left to report back to the Argent Crusade.
They learned they were actually gone for close to a few months, due to time dilation involving the Rogue Chronomancer's magic, even though they were only gone for a couple weeks at most. And going forward in time, he also missed the deadline for his grand opening of Gold's Arcane Emporium®, which hurt Gold a little bit, and he was very behind on it. So over time he continued working on his shop and getting ready for it to open, but a new problem would be brewing on the horizon. This is where Suneza first meets Aunore Sunstrider, the new Queen and ruler of Quel'thalas (after Grand Magister Rommath and Ranger-General Halduron Brightwing disappeared after a problem in the Ghostlands, and Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron stepped down after, leading the last remaining Sunstrider to seize the throne). She appeared on the docks behind Hearthglen, demanding to take Solana with her back to Silvermoon, or for her to be deported back. She was obviously denied as Solana is a citizen of the Argent Crusade, and she no longer has ties back to Quel'thalas. Aunore wasn't happy with this, so she vowed to take the "traitor" Solana back one way or another. Suneza was there too and watched the whole thing unfold, and this wouldn't be the last time they had problems with Aunore and the Sin'dorei. She managed to get Solana to open up about this, and he learned Aunore and her were past lovers, but after Solana left things became messy, leading to Aunore wanting to get her back after she came to power.
Aunore and the Sin'dorei also became a problem for the Argent Crusade, and they had diplomatic problems too. Aunore and her Sin'dorei set up a camp near the Thondroil River on the Plaguelands side to intimidate the Argent Crusade into giving them Solana, however they wouldn't budge. Suneza also had problems with this and thought it was bullshit, and vowed to protect Solana and act as her bodyguard, wanting to make sure nothing happens to her. He also thought Aunore was acting like a spoiled child over this, and began to become suspicious of her and how exactly she came to power; and started to consider it illegitimate. It was around this time he finally worked on the (belayed) grand opening of Gold's Arcane Emporium®, however because of the messy way he handed it before (and for being gone for months), business was a little slow and it wasn't earning much, but that was mainly because of a lack of awareness and promotion. In the Emporium he employed Nemaaru to run the place in his absence, and also some guardians (along with magical traps and wards) to protect his goods from thieves.
During this period, and really ever since they got back from the past, strange events have been happening in the Plaguelands. It became a lot more dangerous, and people have been going missing, let alone the teleportation problems with people being snatched when trying to use the teleport network. The Argent Crusade and the Kirin Tor issued a ban on travel through the Plaguelands until it's been resolved. It all started with a mysterious lightning strike above Stratholme. Suneza was informed of a caravan of vulpera passing through Eastweald, but they wanted to cross into the Plaguelands to reach Quel'thalas, and so he was asked to get them to stop. When Suneza and a couple others made it to the Thondroil bridge, he found the caravan leader arguing with the border guards about the travel ban. Suneza tried to convince them and plead that traveling through the Plaguelands now is a death sentence, however they wouldn't listen. After some more resisting on the caravan's part, the guards eventually let the vulpera pass through and cross into the Plaguelands, and into the dense fog covering the region. Suneza was left standing there watching them leave, hoping that their leader's stupidity didn't get them killed, and they made it through.
A couple months later, Solana, Brightglen's mayor, held a speech in the town. She expressed regret involving Aunore and the problems she's caused for her people and the Argent Crusade, and so she offered to give herself up to the Sin'dorei and Aunore if it meant protecting them. Gold was even more shocked to hear this, and wanted to protest, until eventually Sunreaver magi appeared and attempted to abduct Solana. Without thinking Suneza jumped into action and attacked the Sunreavers, and he managed to take down all but one, who opened a portal to Silvermoon and tossed Solana through it, and escaped through the portal. And there was nothing he could do once Solana was on the other side.
Suneza was struck with intense grief and regret about not being able to save or protect Solana, and he was also filled with unfathomable anger towards Aunore, however by the time they were gone, Dra'Gan and Kaelitha Starshooter (an Argent Crusade Spell Sniper) arrived. Gold explained the situation to them, and that he wasn't able to save her. Afterwards, they reported the incident to Jaspen and her advisor (Thalion Sunwshiper), and they had an emergency meeting (with Lydine there too) about what to do. They recognized Aunore and the Sin'dorei broke the law and unlawfully abducted a member of the Crusade on their soil, but Jaspen was reluctant to declare war on Silvermoon. After some deliberation, Gold suggested they go to Quel'thalas in a rescue mission with a small party to rescue Solana, and while they were a little hesitant, they finally agreed, as Suneza was going to do that no matter what, and he wasn't in the best state of mind after Solana's capture (and he was acting rash). Lydine reluctantly offered to tag along -- she normally would never want to do something like this, as they would be breaking the law, but she was very protective over her apprentice, and wanted to see him safe. And Jaspen gave them the go ahead too. The rescue team consisted of Suneza, Lydine, Kaelitha, Eliza Coffer and Lisa Ashmane (Two other Kirin Tor members).
After some planning, the day came to initiate the rescue. Lydine teleported the 5 outside the border to the Ghostlands (as they didn't want to be discovered or noticed teleporting within Quel'thalas), and she gave them all Blood Elven disguises and names. Kaelitha has a blood elven friend in the Ghostlands (Eira Moonweaver), so they traveled there in order to get her help. She elaborated on what she knows about Aunore, her regime, and the state of Quel'thalas as well. She also explained that Solana was having a trial in Silvermoon, and most likely was going to be executed. Suneza was very tempted to just teleport there and charge into wherever Solana was being held, but Lydine calmed him down, explaining they needed to keep a level head if they wanted their mission to work. She directed them to Master Elrendar, an archivist and record keeper for Silvermoon. He's being monitored and watched by Aunore's regime for speaking out against them, and he's been forced to stay (or near) Silvermoon ever since. While traveling to Eversong, they came across what the problem was in the Ghostlands. They were ambushed and attacked by Fel corrupted elves and demons that were causing trouble in the region. It wasn't an easy fight, and Suneza and Eliza were kind of injured, but after dispatching the threats they continued on to Eversong to find Elrendar. They found him wandering the road outside of Falconwing Square. After explaining the situation, he gave new information that her trial was going to be held in the Isle of Quel'danas, at the Sunwell's chambers. And he agreed to help find them passage to there. But they had to hurry, as Solana's trial and execution was going to be soon. He took them to a neutral draenei merchant, Kaalif, who sailed the party to the Isle.In-Game Screenshot of Suneza (Dalaran)In-Game Screenshot of Suneza (Brightglen)
Upon arriving on the Isle of Quel'danas, they quickly headed inside the Sunwell Plateau and to the courtroom that was within, while trying not to draw suspicions to themselves. When they make it to the courtroom, they find a bunch of citizens and nobles being herded out of the courtroom, and there was a commotion between them. And there was no Solana in sight. The party went up to the prosecutor and defense of the trial (Ernest Van Sunweaver and Estellas Dawnshard) to ask what happened. The trial was over and the verdict was handed down - a guilty verdict, for Solana's betrayal of Quel'thalas, and of Aunore, despite the defense's best attempts. She was sentenced to be executed in the Sunwell chambers until a portal appeared with a masked high elven male who attempted to take Solana, and they fled deeper into the Plateau. The party was confused on what this meant, but Suneza was very relieved that this could buy them enough time to save Solana. They arrived on the crimson bridge connecting to the Sunwell chamber, but they were stopped by the Highguards. They lied and convinced them they were there to witness the execution, and thankfully the Highguards let them pass, saying they could witness it from the balcony. With a silent sigh of relief, they nervously walked inside, while quietly deliberating among themselves on their plan...
From the balcony above the Sunwell they saw Aunore Sunstrider, along with her newly appointed Grand Magister and Ranger-General (Faelara Arcaneshadow & Verisara Swiftarrow), and also Solana and Dra'Gan at the foot of the Sunwell. Suneza was shocked to see Dra'Gan here despite saying he was going to stay behind in Brightglen. Right before Aunore was about to execute Solana by throwing her into the Sunwell, the party put their plan into action. It all happened quickly and within the span of 10 seconds - Kaelitha, Eliza, and Suneza attacked the Ranger-General, while Lydine took on the Grand Magister and Aunore. And Lisa protected Solana while this was happening. Gold decapitated the Ranger-General in one swift magical slash, however the Grand Magister grabbed Dra'Gan and threw him into the Sunwell. Lydine tried to save him but wasn't able to, leading to him being incinerated by the Sunwell's power. Suneza yelled out in terror and frustration, seeing his friend executed like that. Lydine wanted to end this quickly, so she used part of the Sunwell's power (along with her innate dragon strength), and instantly froze the Grand Magister - and shattered the ice, killing her. She also encapsulated Aunore, and she wanted to kill her too - but she managed to resist. Lydine just left the Queen frozen in a block of Sunwell empowered ice, and took the dazed Solana and teleported the party away to Ironforge.
Lydine teleported them to the Mystic Ward of the city, and the party breathed a sigh of relief once they were safe. Lydine opened a portal back to Hearthglen, and Kaelitha, Eliza, and Lisa took Solana with them and reported back to Jaspen and Sunpyre, while Suneza and Lydine stayed behind in Ironforge and dealt with their own problems and events (as described in this short story). In short they returned to Dalaran where Suneza had problems controlling his emotions following Dra'Gan's death, and his anger with Aunore, causing problems inside him (because of his Wild Magic, and the different energies inside him). If not taken care of, it would kill him, so Lydine used a ritual to soothe Suneza's demons, and get his emotions and energies under control. They eventually reported what happened to Advisor Jane (Modera's second advisor), where they explained the situation, and what they did in Quel'thalas. Eventually Lydine would be arrested by the Dalaran guards, because the Blood Elves sent diplomats to Dalaran and handed the Kirin Tor a warrant for Magister Iceheart's arrest, demanding she stand trial in Quel'thalas for her allegedly killing the Grand Magister, and being an accomplice in killing the Ranger-General and freeing Solana. However they weren't expecting Jaspen's, Suneza's, Kaelitha's, Eliza's, or Lisa's involvement, though.
After returning to Eastweald, he reported back to Sunpyre and briefly explained the situation, before traveling to Hearthglen and finding Jaspen and Solana. While in Mardenholde Keep he ran into Georgia Angevin, who told him where Solana is being kept at, in a spare room in the keep. The door was being guarded by Belthiriel Sunseeker, Solana's bodyguard, and he let them pass. Georgia left Suneza alone in the room, and the vulpera saw Solana, unconscious and sleeping on the bed in the corner. His ears flattened and looked quite dejected about what happened, but he kept his emotions in check. He just sat on the edge of the bed, on the wooden part, and contemplated until Elarielle Henrietta, half-elven High Justiciar of the Argents, walked in. The two talked and Gold explained what happened in Dalaran, with Lydine's arrest. However Elarielle reassured Gold it was going to work out - and that the Argent Crusade and Kirin Tor will work together in freeing his Magister and fixing things, as well as confronting Aunore too. She also suggested he stay in Hearthglen to look after Solana and to protect her while they sort things out. They also found out the trial/extradition date was in two weeks.
(Current Timeline) So during this time Suneza mainly stayed in Hearthglen and kept watch on Solana, making sure nothing happened to her, while he was still endlessly worrying about Lydine and her situation. Even though he mainly stayed in Hearthglen, he gradually returned back to Brightglen to work in his shop to try and keep his mind off of things. During the week, an ambassador from Radiant Vigil (formerly known as Westdale) and the Luminar Arcanum (a group that broke away from the Argent Crusade ever since they were isolated due to the teleportation issues in the Plaguelands, and they have a "tenuous" relationship with the Argent Crusade), Thaelis Sunwhisper, arrived in Brightglen to negotiate and strike a partnership with the Kirin Tor, because they are similarly aligned. She first stopped in Gold's Arcane Emporium® where she met Suneza, and bought something there. The two bonded and chatted a little and Gold accompanied Thaelis to the Kirin Tor camp nearby. He sat and watched the negotiations take place, and things ended well between the two factions. When Thaelis was about to return to the Radiant Vigil in the Plaguelands, Suneza and Lisa Ashmane offered to bodyguard her on the way back. But before they could make it out of Eastweald, the three were ambushed by agents of the Kirin Tor and Silver Covenant. Thaelis couldn't fight, so Gold and Lisa protected her and fended off the attackers. The agents seemed to be empowered by certain magic and it wasn't easy taking them down. During the fighting, Thaelis was confused and scared, so she ran off by herself back to Radiant Vigil. After the two took down the attackers, a mysterious figure appeared; a tall Night Elf cloaked in shadows. Using dark magic they instantly dispatched Gold and Lisa, however they didn't kill them...
A human who witnessed this reported to nearby guards that she saw Gold and Lisa attack the ambassador, along with the Silver Covenant and Kirin Tor agents, even though that was far from true. The two were arrested because they displayed erratic behavior, and admitted that Sunpyre put them up to it, but sometime later they found themselves back at the Kirin Tor camp. Word soon got out that Gold, Lisa, and Kirin Tor and Silver Covenant agents (allegedly) attacked the diplomat. And the Kirin Tor, along with Jaspen (who believes Sunpyre and Gold's innocence) were scrambling trying to figure out what happened and who orchestrated the ambush. Sunpyre found out that Lisa and Gold were laced with mind altering magic, and that explained their erratic/hostile behavior and false memories. Sunpyre did what he could to extract the dark magic out of the two, and for the time being Suneza wasn't allowed to go near the Kirin Tor camp. They also found a letter that Gold picked up at one point that hinted about the planned ambush and something about a set up.
Suneza (nicknamed Gold) is a wild mage sorcerer that has arcane, temporal, fel and shadow magic infused within him from a temporal anomaly incident in Vol'dun that resulted in him gaining these powers and abilities, namely Wild Magic. Because of these chaotic and different forces inside him, they react to his spellcasting quite differently than normal, resulting in unintended (possibly random or unstable) effects if he isn't careful, ranging from amazing, good, neutral, bad, or catastrophic. He's learned to be able to control the outcomes and when a surge happens with training over the years, to a certain extent. But his Wild Magic still happens seemingly randomly whenever he uses magic or casts a spell. He considers himself a free spirit, wanting to help the people he wants to help, and not helping the people he doesn't. Gold is very sensitive to time magic/energies, and he doesn't seem to age no matter how much time passes. He's currently helping the High Elves of Brightglen as well as the Argent Crusade.
Gold is currently Magister Lydine Iceheart's apprentice, and he has been for the past few decades, despite already being past apprentice-level spellcasting. He's mastered in Evocation magic, as he's a focused Battle-Mage, and he's also skilled in Transmutation and Abjuration. His arguably worst school is Divination, followed by (for the most part) Illusion magic. He's a talented Telemancer, able to create portals and teleport around with ease.
Uninteresting fact: Suneza got the nickname "Gold" because of the color of his eyes, and the fact he lacks in gold and money (poor). Despite opening up Gold's Arcane Emporium®, it hasn't received a lot of attraction, and thus he hasn't been earning a lot of income. This is mainly due to lack of promotion or awareness.
