Daughter of Leyara and Valstann Hirschhaupt.
Said to have the eyes of her late father.
She has the child model of a Blood Elf.
Spoiler:
In a later quest the player finds the childs grave, with her mother mourning over it. Some dialouge from the quest:
Leyara: "I tried to save you Istaria, but I was too weak. Fandral would never have allowed the Horde to attack our home! And who did Malfurion send to defend us? No one!"

Another sad, yet awesome quest. I would compare this quest line to the one in Eastern Plaguelands involving Pamela Rotpfad as being some of the more sad quests. The added voices make it all that much better, I think.
Not to mention the nice quest reward at the end.

Edit: Added some links

I felt pretty rotten for being on horde-side after this quest.

Istaria was born shortly after the War of the Shifting Sands, which would make her about 1000 years old when she died. So she was not a child when killed.

Since we aren't given a whole lot of information Istaria may have been part of their army and since they are at war with the Horde things like that are kind of par for the course. It is also possible of course that she was simply a random citizen killed in an attack although Hellscream has said before he does not support or want innocent bystanders getting killed there are rogue militants as well as simple accidents that take place.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that there is a dead character with an identical name to one of the most spectacular failed MMOs in history (Horizons: Empire of Istaria, now known as Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted)? Wouldn't be surprised if it was a subtle joke on Blizzard's part.

I'm a little disappointed at how the model detracts from the story's effect for me personally.

We didn't need to see Istaria for the story to have an effect. It would be more reasonable to assume the child was at home in the care of other family than it would be to throw a little belf girl model into the scene and have us pretend she's a night elf.

They cut a corner that didn't even need to be there in the first place is basically what I'm getting at.

Istaria IS NOT a child when she is killed actually,SHE IS A BABY because she is a NIGHT ELF and if you knew your lore then you would know 1000 is QUITE young for a night elf among the adults! Now and old Night elf ( about 50000 years mabye ) would look like and old man night elf 20000 is a teenager and 7k child below that is BABY! BY GOLY its been 1000 years since she was born gess shes still a BABY

I know 10k years is not long because if u've done HoTs well of eternity or know your lore u know that it took Illidan THAT long to escape his prison and in outlands he hid. Isn't that just 2 years before cata?
So in assumption that wuld mean Istaria was.... 9 months 3 days old?

Oh yeah and Adult Nelf is 29k yers old

Valstann Hirschhaupt's family in the memory unlocked from the Verrußtes Medaillon while visiting his Nachtelfengrab on Tragödie und Familie:
Erzdruide Fandral Hirschhaupt, father
Leyara, wife
Istaria, daughter

Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm says: Time passes, yet the sting of his death will not fade.
Leyara says: Valstann, my dear husband, you left us too soon.
Leyara says: Our child has been born. It's a girl! A beautiful baby girl.
Leyara says: I named her Istaria. She has your eyes.
Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm says: Leyara, the two of you are all I have left. I swear to you, on my life, you and my granddaughter will ALWAYS have my protection.

I had no idea that WoW put in the very name of it's rival mmorpg from 2003, "Istaria: Chronicles of The Gifted" in here. That's a very specific name.... patched in around the time both were relatively popular together. WoW of course, won that by a long shot.

Istaria
