I don’t know why, but I’d probably get English butler vibes from a straight standing Worgen XD…
For some reason only the Silver Covenant are held to this strange standard that no other faction in the game is held to. If they don’t show up in a prominent role in every single expansion they’re apparently neutral. Despite the fact that only the Alliance can gain rep to them, use their mounts, tabards etc.

This is probably my favorite post I’ve ever read on these forums, lmao.
You’re using their own logic against them.
“Void Elves aren’t High Elves, they’re Blood Elves!” Okay, but Blood Elves aren’t High Elves. “Yes they are, Ion said they were the same.” Okay, then if Blood Elves are High Elves, and Void Elves are Blood Elves, then Void Elves are High Elves.

Did you not see the preview? The “natural hair” will not have any void theme to it. Just like this character’s hair.
This character looks as high elf as any blood elves that claims to be one.

You’re going backwards again.
All different orcs are indeed orcs. Go the other way and differentiate between the different types of orcs. I mean we could keep zooming out and just call everything ‘mortals’ or ‘fauna’. How about animals?
come on; dont neglect your scale of resolution please.
I think it’s pretty sweet that Alliance is finally getting High Elves after all these years. With the reclamations of the northern kingdoms in BfA, the Alliance of Lordaeron is finally getting back together.

I mean, Blood Elves ARE High Elves honestly, physiologically speaking, there is no genetic distinction, at best a political one. On the other hand Void Elves are physiologically and genetically distinct to either, Locus walker even confirms this in the starting quest line from the end of Legion. Thus why: we have tentacles, different skin colors by default, purple blood, had different voices etc…

And again, the devs have said this does not matter from an inlore prespective and that the various races are not debating the same things/doesnt care at all about how we define “race”.
Although I haven’t been a fan of this idea I appreciate others who might like this. I do love all the Void elf hairstyles and if we get them for Blood Elves no doubt I’d probably use some despite my opposition, sigh.
Also appreciate you, Nico, for being concerned about Blood Elves.

In game events wise the “Alliance of Lordaeron” is destroyed… Lordaeron itself is no longer a sovereignty with all of it’s royal blood lines pretty much destroyed… Prince Arthas: the former Lich King, the Menethils: undead, the Greymanes: the heir died in battle of Gilneas (the rest are Worgen), the Fordragons: Has one living heir in Kul’tiras (Taelia doesn’t seem like the “royal throne” sort…), etc etc…
… this is now the third time i’ve asked for this quote of yours.
“races just ignore the lore and dont really care”
I guess in WOW you can be whatever you identify as for the day, hey?
aaah you lost that exchange bud xD
Makes me so happy to see Humans, Dwarves, High Elves & Gnomes all playable together finally. Long overdue but happy to see it!
Same with Stromgarde and Danath back in Arathi along with it.

Mag’har just means uncorrupted. Why would he refer to himself as uncorrupted?
That’s like me referring to myself as a white human.
you mean caucasian?
because people dont refer to themselves via their ethnicities right?

I play Blood Elves too (I play all the elf races actually), so anything added to Blood Elves makes me happy.
With that said, to make the idea more palatable to you, the styles don’t necessarily have to be straight up copies. Blizzard could very well make variants of them for Blood Elves so that while similar, they wouldn’t be identical. Some of the original Void Elf hairstyles were made with this philosophy, so I don’t see any reason why it can’t work just as well to give Blood Elves their own version of popular Void Elf hair styles.
They simply remained in Dalaran because at that point (for all they knew) Quel’thalas had been destroyed, it had nothing to do with whether or not Dalaran was associated with the Alliance. This is why none of the High elves of Dalaran join the Alliance after Dalaran declares it’s neutrality, and also why we do not see any of them act independently unless Dalaran is involved. We had an entire expansion centered on the faction conflict, and even when the Alliance were recruiting farmers to fill their ranks we never saw a single Dalaran High elf fight on their behalf.
The only notable instance of them coordinating and acting as a group seperate from Dalaran was when they came to the aid of Quel’thalas against the Amani in the Ghostlands.
Except we didn’t see any Silver Covenant at the gates of Orgimmar, it was only Vereesa, who was only there because of her relationship with Sylvanas. The Ballista was unmanned, and not a single Silver Covenant npc was present. It’s also worth noting that the battle at the gates of Orgimmar was a joint operation between Horde and Alliance, but that is neither here nor there from the point.
You mean when Jaina went all psycho and coordinated attacks before being overthrown by the Dalaran council? And are we forgetting that when this happened, a large portion of the elves fighting back were recruited High elves?
She and the Silver Covenant favor the Alliance, but they are not officially a part of the Alliance, hence why we never see her unless Dalaran is involved. Otherwise can you please let me know where any of the Silver Covenant were during the entirety of BFA? You know, the expansion centered on the faction conflict? At one point the Alliance resorted to recruiting farmhands, and yet we still never saw any Silver Covenant.
Um, no? During the liberation of Suramar we can clearly see that Dalaran is overseeing the whole operation. Just speak to one of the many Dalaran mages residing near the encampment.

Something like “That’s just not the type of Orc I am” is commonly used. The comment in question was the fact he didn’t use Mag’har in situations like that.
When was the last time you heard someone say “That’s just not the type of asian person I am” etc.
You are the one that keep ignoring what was said. Races are not thinking about customization/gameplay choices. Which means to them this whole debate of who is or who isnt a high elf is not an actual thing and anyone who wants to call themselves high elves are free to do so(although if you are not an actual elf you will probably just be derided)
And that is my point. The distictions we are debating about mean nothing lorewise. Alleria can claim her high elven heritage just as much as she claims her void elven one.
Ah yes, I forgot the most important Kirin’tor assault force. The blood knights of the Horde.
