However, the naaru prime, Xe'ra, strictly forbidden her to do so. She finally grew fascinated by the void and eventually learned of a mysterious ethereal named Locus-Walker, a peerless master of void energies and a ruthless enemy of the Legion, that she desired to seek out in order to learn and wield the void's power against the Legion.

While sojourning with the Army of the Light, Alleria Windrunner was attacked and infected with the void on a Burning Legion prison world that had been deeply saturated by its energies. The void elves are tied to the experiences of two Thalassian elves who came into contact with the void and its power, and whose convergence, kinship, and shared ideals would lead to the birth of the ren'dorei. The voices say many things, from lies, to things that are true from a certain point of view, things that sound true, and things that one would wish were true. This assault is relentless and the discipline needed to resist them is extraordinary. Void elves constantly hear voices from the Void that seek to corrupt them, something they have learned to fight against and keep control over. Coming to the aid of a group of her kin who nearly gave in to the darkness, Alleria has vowed to train these void elves to control the shadows within them and pledge their newfound powers to the Alliance. Determined to use this power for the good of Azeroth, Alleria Windrunner is the first mortal to succeed at defying the shadow's whispers. Many have sought to harness the corruptive magic of the Void. They have the ability to metamorphose into a Void form. The void elves seek to utilize their great but dangerous powers for the sake of defending Azeroth and the Alliance, and to prove those who doubt or judge their abilities wrong, all the while resisting the Void's call to madness. Permanently transformed by the process, they pledged their loyalty to her and the Alliance and established themselves as the ren'dorei.

They were transformed by void ethereals but rescued by Alleria Windrunner, who had gained mastery of the Void herself on Argus. Their origins lie with a group of blood elves led by Magister Umbric who were exiled from Silvermoon City because of their research into the Void.
