I think a lot of you don’t know what you’re talking about. Go make a void elf, go talk to the elves there in Telogrus Rift. You’ll see among their number are blood elves who have left Silvermoon because of the Magisters groveling before the Horde. The void isn’t the motivation. It seems to be for the player character and main leadership. But they didn’t separate by choice. Magister Umbric was forced out because of research.
So whatever face shape, eye shape or hair style that opens for blood elves opens for void elves because void elves are blood elves and blood elves are void elves. They’re the same people divided NOT by the void but by political reasons. The tentacles are just bonus.
If blood elves want a tentacle of blood, I’m cool with that.
Nice fanfic, but thats just canon wrong, you do not play the blood elves hanging around there. You play the mutated elves from the quest, its not just something political, and they are not the same
You can rp the way you want, but canon lore is different.
The game supersedes all other forms of “canon”. And those elves are not just hanging around. They have left Silvermoon because Lor’themar Theron has decided his political fortunes lay playing a rug to orcs and trolls and dead humans.
He’s sacrificed his people solely at the behest of whatever leadership they choose to follow so long as he has a seat at the table. Garrosh showed just how little the blood elves matter to the Horde yet he remained with tongue out looking for whatever boot he needed to shine to not be the victims of the Horde again.
Sylvanas dragged them into the Horde with her talk it would be a shame if something happened to the rest of your city. At least that’s the way my RP remembers it. After her own brother was killed by the Horde but then she never had much for any she couldn’t use. The void elves have offered ALL high elves a choice and some have taken it. If blood elves can’t share their customization, then they shouldn’t gain any.
It doesn’t, you can try to force that headcanon, but its false.
Your RP bares no consequences to the canon lore of warcraft, the playable void elves are mutated by the void, just like nightborne are no longer night elves when they mutated by the nightwell, thus getting different racials and characteristics, different powers
You can RP that you play a blood elf who abandoned the horde, and is just rly good with void magic, but that is impossible in canon, the blood elf would be mutated to be a void elf.
And she’s much cooler because of it, legit I used to think she was so lame and hoped she and Turalyon would both die this xpac and now I’m like yeah no he can die she can stay, lol.
Hopefully the same time that Mechagnomes, Kul Tirans, Dark Iron Dwarves and Mag’har Orcs do since they’ve all been horribly neglected in the customization department.
I would only wish the BEs could get a “flat top” like Duke Nukem or a Mohawk like Mr.T and they would be complete. Tired of that “Goku” hair which is the only cut I find acceptable as they are now.
Considering they still use “silvermoon” in their name tells me they have not defected or left the horde or the blood elves, but rather are scholars interested in learning about the void, not necessarily to wield it themselves. These elves also still use blood elf voice lines where as defected blood elves like Lyria and Innes use void elven ones.
The depiction of horde elves present likely has to do with the fact that in that patch horde were allowed to visit the rift to discover what the void was after, giving those scholars an excuse to research the void without fear of exile.
Stating that these elves have become, or joined the void elves with no concrete evidence is merely conjecture and good example of fanon.
Lor’themar has never willingly sacrificed anyone, if anything the alliance was willing to execute the remainder of their race in WC3, then night elves invaded their lands, ambushed them in the ghostlands, sabotaged the sanctums providing the energy they needed to stave off the scourge, staged a fake diplomacy with a dwarf to spy on them and learn how to properly mangle a sanctum. All this before they ever joined hands with the horde.
I’d say it’s pretty clear the Alliance was not doing any more favors than the horde.
Yes, the choice to become a void elf, which alters them. If a high elf chooses to join the blood elves nothing changes at all. Something tells me with the changes to alleria we’re likely to see even more void themes coming to void elves in the future. If you want a pure, or untainted blood or high elf, you can always choose the horde.
I’d say the natural skintones and haircolors for void elves are akin to the undead/dark ranger options given to elves, while these races are not forsaken or undead we are given the tools to Rp them as such, but this doesn’t mean we should start demanding that all future undead options also be given to us also. Perfect example of given an inch, taken a mile.
You’re just mistaken. Like I said, make a void elf and talk to people in the rift. Studying the void is what some are there for but a fair number have come because they believe the Magisters are bowing to the Horde.
Some are fully void elves but a good number, and the ones most likely to have voice lines on the subject, are simply there because they’ve left Silvermoon. Perhaps for the time being.
If this is supposed to be representative of the void elves as a whole, then a good number of blood elves have left the Horde. I didn’t put this into the game. And I didn’t notice them at the start so its something the developers have added after Legion.
Whatever they are supposed to represent its not all in the rift are solely for the Void. In any event, a player wanting to exclude another race’s customization options is just pure selfishness and shouldn’t be listen to. It doesn’t take away from anyone and is just spiteful. Void elves are blood elves and that’s just fact. They stand like blood elves. Their ears are like blood elves. How they comb their hair is nothing to having the exact same stance as one. This isn’t some race they spend months working on. They changed the skin tones basically and called it something different. It’s not. And they have made both more alike since their introduction than separate. They aren’t going to start now and point to the forums as the reason.
