I’m saying that High Elves are changing like the Nightborne did, because their primary source magic is no longer the Sunwell. The pilgrimage is more in line with tranditions not an way to cease their magic needs, because even Alleria wanted to see the Sunwell when she visited Silvermoon, even having the Void as her source of power.
If High Elves had still using the Sunwell as their primary magic source, their eyes should’ve be at least yellow without glow. I mean at the very least.
The High Elves haven’t changed either by fel or holy energies, but that doesn’t make any sense if they and the Blood Elves are exactly the same just with different names. You can say they’re close as a race, but not the same, both the remaining High Elves, and the Blood Elves are changing in different ways since Sunwell’s destruction.
Arator is a Half Elf not a proper High Elf, and he’s living in Stormwind, the same distance that most High Elves are from Sunwell, if not more. Turalyon his father for instance, also a Paladin, had some yellow glow in his eyes when Xe’ra appears:
Arator being a Half Elf in Alliance, and the only one with golden eyes, feels that’s because he’s a Paladin, not because of Sunwell’s power. He also participated in Argus campaign with the Lightforged and his father, and was also there in Argus when Xe’ra appeared.
