"I am minion to no one!"

I am Canilia, in my 20th season and new Adept in the order of Blood Knights. For reasons inexplicable to me people seem to want to know more about me so I have created this journal.
I was born. . . well a lady never reveals her true age but let's just say a long time ago, in Silvermoon City. I was raised on Sunstrider Isle until I came of age. My parents were both mages and began teaching me the use of magics at an early age. When the Scourge came my parents went off to fight. While they were gone I watched as my Silvermoon was razed and saw the death and destruction firsthand. and it was on that day that I realized that The Light had abandoned us.
After the war my parents returned to me. No. . . these were not my parents. The war and the loss of the mystical energies of the Sunwell had changed them into something that, over time I would not even know to be them. Once again the light had failed and abandoned us. It was then that I determined to be a Blood Knight. If the light would not aid us willingly then I would make it! On the day I left to begin my training I looked at my mother and father one last time. They still held their pride but I could tell that it would not be long until the addiction would take them over. I confess I don't know where they are now. They are likely wandering the ruins of Silvermoon as one of the Wretched. This is how I see all of my kind.
I see the Blood Elf race for what it really is. The pride, the beauty, the control is all just a glamour for the benefit of their "allies." Most of my people would just as readily slit the throat of an Orc as a human if they had no further use for them. The conceit that we are somehow better than all of the other races is an illusion concocted so the Magisters may sleep at night. In what way are we better? We have been under the heel of one force or another for Milena whether it be the druids in Ashenvale or this cursed addiction we all must bear. If anything, we are lower.
I will not be a slave! Not to the Magisters, not to the Order and certainly not to the addiction that I battle every day. I will help my people in spite of their pride and vanity.
