★ PSA: Void Elf Paladins are justified in the Lore ★

Don’t play retail no more but yes.
Also Panda Druids. That is all.

The Ren’dorei do not currently have the knowledge nor the capabilities to replicate what happened to Umbric’s followers during the Void Elf Allied Race questline.

With that considered, High Elf Wayfarers are practicing Void magic, but they are not Void infused like their Blood Elven peers.

“Void Elf” is a political name, just like “Blood Elf.”

You got any proof or source of that?

Void Elves are made up of Horde Blood Elves & Alliance High Elves

Playable Void Elves come from two different populations.

The first being the Void Infused Blood Elves seen during the Allied Race Questline, and the second being High Elf Wayfarers who are not Void Infused but rather are dabbling in the Void, hence the introduction of High Elf skin tones, eye colors, hair colors, and the option to remove tentacles from our hair.

This goes hand in hand with Blizzard making Sandfury Trolls & Wildhammer Dwarves playable through the addition of customization options.

Steve Danuser interview with Polygon regarding Void Elf Population

“There’s just one question: If they come from a small group of Silvermoon Exiles, how are they an Allied Race? Where do the numbers come from?”

“They start out as a small group,” Danuser continues. “But it’s natural as other elves have found out about them — elves who are interested in new sources of magic, power, or opportunities — would see if they could undergo a similar process.”

Still the same quote, still don’t see your proof that they’re only wielding and not infused by it. For all we know, they did undergo the same process and are now void elves like all the others.

The introduction of blood elf customizations is just to stop you guys from spamming incessantly but eh, it’s still going… there hasn’t been a single lore reason to those new customizations.

That’s fair, I guess it’s a grey area. The introduction of High Elf customizations was supposed to imply that non-void infused Alliance High Elves have been joining the Ren’dorei, as their appearence differs greatly from the Blood Elves present during the Void accident that transformed them.

Nothing is stopping Danuser from tweeting “Void Elves have learned how to become Void-infused without looking like it” though :man_shrugging:

Just for you to take out of context and make up lore somewhere else?

Uther: Well said!

Qoute the entire interview. He states they are not “actively” recruiting. In no point did he stated outright they are growing.

He literally states that their numbers are growing,

“There’s just one question: If they come from a small group of Silvermoon Exiles, how are they an Allied Race? Where do the numbers come from?”

"They start out as a small group,” Danuser continues. “But it’s natural as other elves have found out about them — elves who are interested in new sources of magic, power, or opportunities — would see if they could undergo a similar process. They’re not … recruiting , necessarily, but they’re open to those who show a similar interest.”

Not “actively” recruiting means they are not going around on a campaign trying to bring in as many people as possible, however they are willing to allow those that seek them out to join their ranks.

This. Night elves are the elves that need paladins.

All VOID elves are void entities, they are not just infused with the void,they are remade by it.

Are contradicting yourself? You just said they are growing in numbers. An high/blood elf not infused with the void but use void magic is just a shadow priest…

No it’s not, and you know this. Unlike blood elves, they literally became void beings through a ritual and almost lost their physical forms from it.

Stop spamming this partial qoute of an interview.

Thank you for proving my point and contradicting yourself yet again.

Lol

Most likely will post it Monday morning when I get more free time.

You have to realize that you cant apply logic to these pronouncements. Its more about “we want” for the OP as opposed to “this makes actual logical sense”
