Now they do, but originally, they were a rarity rather than a norm and for the look of it, considering they didn’t even had enough influence to have an order within Quel’thalas, they were simply part of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

But can we please leave the NPCs out of the conversation please? I know I’m taking part of it, but I really don’t see the point of bringing them up when they shouldn’t even be in the picture when the topic it’s about Void Elves .

This is also true.

Come now, you know sometimes these topics get off topic lol.

So are they ‘embracing’ it or not? The fact remains that in their very zone there Are ‘Silvermoon Scholars’ and ‘High Elf Wayfarers’ that appear to be there to join their ranks.

Void elves, the ones already transformed yes. High elves and blood elves is there to learn, not become apart of, the void.

I know quite well that conversations can go off on tangents, but I’d rather watch it go off about something better than something that it’s used again and again as an excuse to dilute Void Elves.

We don’t know that yet, that’s the point. All we know is that there’s people studying the Void. Nothing has been said about what the result of said studies is.

As far as I’m aware, the only high elf Paladin to date besides Wingus and Dingus’s kid is now a Blood Knight.

He is the one we know of, yes, but apparently it is implied he was not the only one, but there were not even that many of them. The majority of the Light related people in their society were priests.

A race that may or may not canonically include a group that may or may not canonically include paladins isn’t exactly sitting on a sturdy foundation, tho.

nice troll post bruh.

The fact you don’t like the fact that there is no hard canon on either of those subjects doesn’t constitute trolling homie.

Pretty much, I thought that was the whole point of them having the options for blue eyes and fair skin. Some of them probably didn’t fully mutate, and some have probably some influence of the void from studying it, but not enough to actually create physical changes.

The void elves don’t have enough produced lore to know exactly every one of their physiological details like many here claim to know. So far it’s simply implied that they’re a small group of mutated belves, but their ranks may have increased through others who weren’t mutated.

This whole “I OnLy WaNt VoId OpTiOnS for V0ID ELVS” is so sad to me because the concept is already such a niche concept. Because technically a void-insert any race name could happen and really, playing anything but a void elf shadowpriest feels weird because of this.
It is the same for LIGHTforged draenei, with paladins and holy priests being the only classes that fits their niche theme.

What he said it’s true thought. The people existed, however, they were the odds ones out and we only know one person in canon that was part of it, and as I said, they had so little recognition that they didn’t have a military branch on their own unlike the Blood Knights much later on.

They were essentially the weebs for humans.

No, the point of those options are simply to provide RP options. Canon says nothing about those wayfarers or if their studies are bearing any fruit.

It’s so weird to me for someone to mock Void Elf fans for wanting Void options like that’s not the point of their AR theme?

:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

And wanting to turn them into High Elves lite I’d say is “so sad” to me but it’s just not that serious to be sad about a difference of opinions.

What does this even mean.

What is “niche” about wanting to maintain the uniqueness of a playable race instead of turning them into something they’re not.

It’s like me asking for human options when I could just play a human already.

Somehow, diluting them it’s a good thing.

Might as well admit they don’t like Void Elves and move on.

I thought they sort of admitted that collectively by supporting arguments earlier in this thread that people here to talk about Void options in a thread titled “a simple Void Elf request” somehow weren’t welcome because obviously wink wink this is for HE ideas on Void Elves.

I’d really really like Blizzard to address this with canon additions to the game (and out-of-game media) in the not-too-distant future.

It’s a foundational element that is missing from the Void Elf lore. We literally don’t know how they are propagating right now. Heck, we don’t even know if those partially-transformed by Durzaan’s ritual are even fertile, and if they are, what sort of ramifications their transformation will have on any offspring. The same can be said for Alleria and anyone mastering the void as she has. Can she still bear children after her encounter with L’ura? And if so, would that child be an insane monstrosity, a perfectly normal High Elf, or more like Umbric and his squad? We don’t know.

That the Silvermoon Scholars and High Elf Wayfarers in Telogrus imply that both are joining the Ren’dorei, and that’s how their numbers are growing, is just that, an implication. It’s not a definitive answer and still doesn’t answer the question of what sort of process is being undertaken. It might make sense that they are learning through a similar method to Alleria, since she and Locus Walker are in Telogrus seemingly instructing the new recruits, but that’s an assumption, not a canon fact.

I feel that these are questions that should have been answered by now, but it doesn’t seem like Blizzard cares to fill in the gaps for us. They seem content to do nothing and let us head canon the whole lot… which often causes conflict when two head canons collide.

Given the whole speech they were giving about how the only reason anyone could like the Old God aesthetic was if they were engaged in some kind of conspiracy against the helfers, I thought this was kind of a given.
