That’s for Ethnicity. We can definitely agree, so far, all Elves share an ethnic background.
Racially they have physical characteristics highly distinguishable that we can group them separately. We can even go even further and say they even have different ethnic background because their culture may share a base background but has divergences.
I’m going to just stop talking to a wall and say, feelings are not facts. They are valid, you can feel what you like, but they are not facts.
You still cannot answer the question, Is a Shal’Dorei the same race as a Quel/Sin’Dorei? Why or why not? Which means you concede, the Ren’Dorei are not the same race because you cannot connect those dots either.
Mhm, and the definition you linked for race was rather vague on physical characteristics (probably because that’s extremely loaded) but adamant about bloodlines. The fantasy definition you also linked had a lot of qualifiers, but agreed on blood lines and one potential qualifier was cultural.
Trolls do, so they must be Elves too. They do worship Loa which are Wild Gods.
OMG, Trolls have been Elves this whole time!! Even High Elves!
Tauren have pointy ears and can become Druids… they share that culture, they even share the same blood line as being an original race of Azeroth… ELVES!
Are Pandaren Elves too? They have similar buildings like Night Elves and to a lesser extent High/Blood Elves. They know magic, like nature… ELVES!
Trolls, Tauren, Pandaren, and Elves all share a common blood line of being the original native races of Azeroth. They have many cultural links, like loving nature, being nomadic for some, some not. They all share the same history of Azeroth. Like Pandaren hid themselves like the Night Elves even. Whoa.
They are all ELVES.
Unless something makes them different? What could that be? My oh, my. Nah, they’re all Elves.
We’re mostly talking past each other, but it’s a lovely day, I have my phone out in the sun and I am doing nothing of socially redeeming value and it is glorious.
