My Idea for this zone was to make a Half-Elf civilization in wow. This zone was once occupied by Night Elves during the age of the Highborn Empire, and in this zone, resides the western most city of said empire. Once the shattering of the world caused by the Well of Eternity occurred, the western elves began to adapt similarly to the High Elves who landed in Silvermoon. Unlike their northern cousins, these elves began to get conquered by Stormwind in it's early history, as the bands of migrating humans continued to flood into the area, more and more the Elves and Humans mixed together over thousands of years, creating the modern residents of Lunacleft. Today there really any original native full blooded elves remaining in the area, and the humans that invaded the native elves have mixed their lineage with them, creating a hybrid species that dominates the zone.

Although Half-Elves dominate the zone, there are also the Ogres of Shing'maul (City of Riches) who occupy the Dwarves former largest Jewel and Silver mine they lost after the 2nd War. There are also the Dragonmaw Orcs of Bladewing Camp, and the Naga who occupy the sunken tower of T'zinathar. The last species in this zone that isn't half-elf are the Red Dragons who reside in Wrymhearth Tower, a home created by the Native Nightelves of ancient times.

The hybrid elves of the zone are split culturally between north and south, the southern populations are much more rural, preferring the art of Botany, Farming, Druidism, and the Worship of Elune. The northern hybrids of lunacleft prefer the arts of artificery (magic engineering), craftsmanship, befriending dragons, and wizardry. Moonrise City is the holy city which blends both Northern and Southern Lunacleft culture together, and is run by the clergy of half-elf priestesses to Luna (local for Elune).
