For the Horde achievement, she is the PVP target and she’s much more of a Boss than Malfurion is. And that was before the Twilight Warrior thing.
Alright, you’re off ignore because I don’t want to stop seeing your posts. I used the term in jest, and because I was half afraid of getting called one for talking about Night Elves (despite the fact that I don’t post on a Night Elf) and you went after me for it. I felt guilty and removed it. I’m sorry if you’ve experienced bullying with the term NEFPA. I really have no ill will to you at all right now. Okay? I don’t know what else to say. If you hate me so much (maybe you should, considering I was toxic to you before), then why not leave me alone?

NEFPA was only used against Night Elf posters creating multiple alts to harass Horde players over Teldrassil. It’s not a derogatory term Doness, don’t let her play the victim. NEFPA is a hivemind that attacks other Night Elf players for not thinking the same. They are the bullues who drove Horde posters away from any WoW spaces for all of BFA.
She is a NEFPA. That’s why she’s offended by the term.

Yeah, NEFPA is Night Elf Forum Posting Alt. There was a rash of level 10 Night Elf Alts with low post counts that appeared, spamming the forums with the same exact nonsense. That is a NEFPA.
I imagine it was probably the same one or two people, to be honest. Since the names changed with every Alt, it was easier to give them a moniker. NEFPA.
I wouldn’t use that for Night Elf fans in general. It wouldn’t make sense to call someone who mains a Night Elf that. Alt is what the A stands for.

Straying further off topic, but WoW also seemed to give them a much more explicit ‘civilisation’ than I ever got the impression they had from playing through the RTS.
The idea that they had shopkeepers, blacksmiths, merchants, etc. seemed new, as did the idea they had a formal head-of-state, or desire for a capital city.
The Sentinel-Druid relationship seemed to function like that of a very large, interconnected lion pride. The men would sleep and be tended to as they wandered the Emerald Dream, while the women would keep them safe, oversee the forests, defend against invaders, etc. It was even more explicit in some of the initial concept art, where the night elves were gathered into tribes, and tribal males would have “many females under their care”, like that of a lion and his lionesses.
The Wardens, meanwhile, seemed like an almost independent warrior caste with a separate heirarchy.

Didn’t it all start with Elesana/Ethriel who was basically one of the only people who had a bunch of level 10 NE alts?
Ethriel admitted she doesn’t even play wow but she was instigating max level NE players to join her in being angry because she continuously ignores positive NE content for her victim complex. I wouldn’t call most NE posters NEFPA, just her.

Pretty much, and they made goodbye posts for several of them.
I thought it some sort of IRL RP, as if they were making a new Alt for every Night Elf that died in Teldrassil, to whine on the Forums.

whats the difference between those souls and wisps?
To my knowledge, they never have.
Wisps are more like ghosts, they haven’t passed on from the mortal plane.

I wonder if whisps and stiritwalking is the same. Not lore wise becsuse of different belief systems. Spirits hung out outside Bwonsami’s temple. Did The Kyrian just forget to pick them up? Or do Tauren, Trolls and Shaman also have connections Elune boasts.

They have, multiple times, like here.
“This is of course a call back to that classic Warcraft III image. Where the male Night Elf, female Night Elf are just standing right side by side, the Druid here, the female in front, female in front because that’s the Night Elf culture from Warcraft III, right? The Sentinels. The matriarchal society.”
There’s a common belief that only women could understand Elune’s mysterious, however, Thiernax is a male Night Warrior. Guess they’re wrong.

I guess you are right,
I even looked up matriarchal definition
matriarchal
/ˌmeɪtrɪˈɑːkl/
adjective
- 1.relating to or denoting a form of social organization in which a woman is the head:“a matriarchal society”
So Forsaken, Kul Tirian, Zandalari are all considered a matriarcy in definition, but I would define a matriarchal society as being more than just “female lead” but this also means Forsaken are a matriarchal society, and under Sylvanas the Horde were technically a matriarchal society. Is it sexism if one matriarchal society destorys another?
Idk, the first definition you find on google is rarely reliable.

I would think that there would need to be more of a criteria than just to be female led.
- religious institutions being led by women only, and while Night elves check that box, the druids are historically only led by men, so it only applies to the priestess sentinals which is only half the population of NE. they do have a female diety in Elune which is matriarchal but the druids worship her son, Cernarius who is a male.
- the entire political/military is prodominately female, which the Night Elves do meet. But so do the Forsaken since the Dark Rangers were mostly all female until they added male models.
I think my point is, if the Night elves are a matriacry so are the Forsaken. They are not the ‘only’ matriarchy in this game, if they qualify at all as a true matriarchy.

I just don’t like having to call Great Britain a matriarchal society under Queen Victoria.

the Spartan’s were a matriarchal society. Because the men were soldiers the women (who were also trained in combat) had to do all the politics and business so when in archaeology we see a lot of matriarcal societies, it’s the men who are miltirary focused and the women are political. a lot of indigenous socities are matriarchies. It’s more of a focus on matriliniage and women making to main choices for the society.
It’s ironic because the media has presented the Spartans as such a partriarchal stereorype, but it’s wrong.
even the idea of a matriarchial society being these big tough “Amazon Women” is a stereotype. Blizzard in the past, as sterepotyped the Night Elves as this Amazonian matriarcy, but that’s just fantasy stereotype.

Void elves are now a matriarchal society 
i forgot about them…so VE, NE, Zandalari, Kul’Tiran, Mag’har, Forsaken are all a matriarchy. Did I miss any?
There are male priests at the Temple of Elune in Val’Sharrah.
That doesn’t disprove the fact that said belief exists.
