Calendar Note
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 (or 6840 Y.S, Years of the Sunwell). Lina'ven was 508 before the Scourging of Quel'thalas, with her birth year being 488 Before Dark Portal (BDP) or 6312 (Y.S.).
The Northern Kingdom's custom months (e.g., Springtide for March, and Verdantfall for August) overlay this timeline.
Biography
Lina'ven Sunglare, or just commonly known as Lina'ven (or Lina) came from a rich and noble family in Southern Quel'thalas (Ghostlands) known as House Sunglare. They were active for over two millenia, and their golden age was after the Troll Wars. The noble House had influential arcanists, leyline analyzers, enchanters, and they were in the jewelcrafting, rare ore & mineral, and enchanting markets in the Southern regions too, which is how they obtained their wealth. While they primarily held influence over part of Southern Quel'thalas, they had a seat in Silvermoon's noble circle, and influence in the surrounding areas of the city - even if they didn't dabble too much into politics.
After Lina'ven was born into the family lineage 488 BDP (or 6312 Y.S. in the Thalassian calendar), she worked at her family's Enchanting and Jewelcrafting shop in Tranquillien in her early years, and enjoyed a privileged and comfortable lifestyle that her Houses' well over nine-figure income can afford. Even if she didn't get along with some of her siblings, she had good relations with her parents, and did whatever to make them proud. She was eventually sent to Silvermoon to learn arcane magic and become an arcanist, and potentially even the rank of Magister. She attended special classes, and had special and talented tutors and mentors paid for by the deep pockets of House Sunglare. Things went smoothly and were largely uneventful for the next 230 years, where Lina became a Arcanist and was on the path to become a Magister for the Silvermoon Magisters.
300 years ago Lina'ven's parents, the Lord and Lady of House Sunglare, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Members of the family and the House, along with Lina, were devestated and shocked. Especially since the House was now missing a Lord or Lady, or a guiding figure. Lina left Silvermoon and the Magisters to return home to the Houses' estate. Despite numerous and extensive investigation by authorities, no cause was found, and no perpetrators were caught either. Lina believes this was foul play, potentially politically motivated and was no normal disapearance, but Silvermoon shut down investigations quickly after not finding anything of note. Lina quit the Magisters for good, and continued to reside in Southern Quel'thalas. She fell into a slight state of depression, and avoided the public eye as she grieved the disappearance of her parents. However despite her broken heart, she still continued to master the magical arts, just without the help of Silvermoon or the Magisters. While she remained close to the estate - she traveled around Quel'thalas and beyond, looking around libraries and forgotten nooks for tomes of the arcane, forgotten techniques and teachings, and eventually forbidden magic.
There was a lot of internal debate and struggle over who will take over the House, because of the Lord and Ladies' untimely disappearance (presumed death) - there was especially a power struggle between Lina'ven and her siblings. Eventually it was determened Lina'ven was the rightful inheritor of the estate and its' assets, and she was pronounced as Lady Sunglare. Lina tried her best to manage the House in her parents' stead, however she was very uncertain and a little worried at first. She was anxious that she wouldnt live up her to parents' expecations, especially since this is a monumentous responsibility that suddely fell on her shoulders. She struggled quite a lot in the beginning, but with support from a couple close friends, she made it through her grieving and difficult times running House Sunglare.
During this time, and despite her new responsibility leading the House, she still focused on her magical studies and goal in becoming a powerful spellcaster like her parents' would've wanted her to. She eventually also discovered the existance of shadow magic, which she took a liking to and was infatuated with. So she secretly began to learn this new magic and this was her first steps in becoming a shadowmancer (and eventually a warlock). It was mostly because of her internal struggles, her parents foul disappearance, and her growing dislike of the Magisters that she persued dark magic - as well as a desire to become even stronger. Gradually becoming a proficent and advanced arcane & shadow mage.
During the events of the First War Lina didn't think much of the war going on in the human kindom far South. It wasn't until she looked deeper into events - and how it was aliens from a far off planet invading the kingdom with demonic magic that her interest was piqued.
