Cenarius
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruCenarius is the greatest of the forest Ancients, demigod patron of druids and of the very nature of Kalimdor. Half-man and half-stag, son of the White Stag Malorne and the moon goddess Elune, he taught the night elves to listen to the land and became their eternal mentor.
Child of moon and forest
Cenarius was born of the union between the Ancient Malorne and the goddess Elune, uniting the wild might of the beast with the celestial wisdom of the moon. He grew up among the Wild Gods and came to love the young race of night elves who settled by the sacred lake. In time Cenarius became the bridge between mortals and the nature spirits of Azeroth.
Mentor of druids
When the night elves sought to learn nature's secrets, Cenarius took Malfurion Stormrage as his student — the first mortal druid. He revealed animal forms, the power of regeneration and the path of the Emerald Dream to the elves. His teachings became the foundation of all druidism that lives on in WoW Classic.
Death in Ashenvale
During the Third War the orc chieftain Grommash Hellscream, who had drunk demonic blood, felled the ancient trees of Ashenvale. The enraged Cenarius came to stop the defilers, but the corrupted Warsong clan struck the demigod down. His death became one of the bitterest tragedies of that age.
The legacy of the Cenarion Circle
The demigod's memory never faded: the druids founded the Cenarion Circle — an order that guards nature against the corruption of the Burning Legion. In Vanilla its bands battle in Felwood and Silithus, carrying on the work of their fallen patron.

Understanding Cenarius's lore, you see a living legend behind the druid quests, not just a set of tasks.
