After much speculation as to her whereabouts in The War Within, a recent dialogue option has been added to a tavern conversation during the Hallowfall leveling campaign with Alleria Windrunner about the status of her sister, Vereesa, in the wake of the expansion's opening events.
Compared to her more striking siblings, Vereesa Windrunner has often played a secondary role in the story of World of Warcraft. As the youngest sister of the Windrunner family, her story over the years has been defined by loss time and time again. In the Second War against the Orcish Horde, she lost her parents to the invading orcs and their newfound troll allies, and in an effort to offer him comfort and protection, accidentally caused the death of their brother Lirath as well. In her grief, her eldest sister Alleria decided to leave her duties as Ranger-General in the hands of their sister Sylvanas, in order to hunt down the orcs in distant lands. This eventually led to her disappearance beyond the Dark Portal, where she was missing and presumed dead until the events of Legion.
Since those days, Vereesa has gone through a series of victories and tragedies alike. In the wake of the Second War, she was a part of a mission that resulted in the freedom of Alexstrasza from the clutches of Deathwing and the Dragonmaw, met her husband and father of her children, Rhonin, and moved to the mage city of Dalaran where she would later found the Silver Covenant, a militant group of high elves poised in strict opposition to the Horde. Equally, she lost yet more loved ones such as Sylvanas to the Scourge (and later again to the depths of the Maw), as well as Rhonin in the attack on Theramore by Garrosh Hellscream. We last saw Vereesa in Oribos alongside Alleria, discussing the complicated legacy of their wayward sister and the losses they have both suffered.
