A former priestess of Elune, Maiev Shadowsong was appointed head warden in charge of keeping the betrayer locked in his cell . She has performed her duties for 10,000 years, but when the High Priestess of Elune decided to free him, her wardens refused. In response, Tyrande attacked and killed all wardens in her path until she eventually released Illidan from his cell. Outraged, Maiev set out to recapture Illidan.
In game, Maiev is a very useful hero. All three of her spells allow her to hero aim, and her summoned huntresses allow the Sentinels to easily place owls anywhere Maiev goes. And since Maiev has blink, she can cover ground very fast. However, she is very fragile. Always get blink so you can escape from enemy attacks.

Events and Others[]
After Califax inside Illidan's prison is killed, the Sentinels will gain Maiev and the Warden's Guild
After Illidan has betrayed the Sentinels by consuming the Skull of Gul'dan, there will be a penalty for re-allying brown. If you re-ally the Illidari, you will permanently lose Maiev and the Wardens.
If you bring Maiev to the Shen'dralar in Eldre'thalas, you will gain them as elite units.
If Archimonde consumes the World Tree, Maiev, along with all other Night Elves, will be permanently removed.
