I know, it sounds like I’m saying “undead but not undead”
but ideally she would have-
- Never died.
- Stayed dead .
or - Raised with normal necromancy.
Added it.

Better said lol.
I’ve played since BC and I’ve heard zero complaints about Undead Mages until now.
The stereotype is undead rogues, I’ve never heard undead mage as a thing.

That I’ve heard plenty about.
IMHO. Holy undead aren’t canon. Calia is canon. There’s a difference.

Calia isn’t canon as far as I’m concerned.
Your headcanon is your headcanon. I wouldn’t dream of trying to convince you otherwise.

No, I know she exists in the game, I’m just pretending she doesn’t.
This, amazingly enough, would have been an improvement over what happened.
OH! What if…
What if Calia Menethil was not actually raised from the dead? What if her body was re-animated by that nefarious windchime, Saa’ra…who had been grooming her long before her death…with the Boy King’s assistance and is now merely a puppet controlled by Saa’ra? What if Anduin and Saa’ra conspired to secure her a place within the Forsaken as a Deep State plant, intending to attack the Forsaken from within?
Remember, Saa’ra had been communicating with Calia long before MarySuevanus sought to rid us of this Golden self-insert. Remember too, that Saa’ra did not allow the corpse to decompose. Oh no, that scheming windchime needed it intact so she and Anduin could have their way with it later, a carefully thought-out plan that left some of Calia’s memories intact on the surface…but beneath that? A Manchurian Candidate of epic proportion, strings being pulled from Stormwind.
Oh yes, it all makes sense to me now…
Yea. I was agreeing. I know I probably sounded snarky, but head canon is important (I can’t decide if I want a space in headcanon/head canon). If you don’t like Calia, she’s easy enough to ignore.
I have plenty of headcanon:
I have a high elf monk on the horde side
I don’t have a KT druid, I have a Thornspeaker.
I don’t have an unholy DK, I have a necromancer
My Gnome warrior is actually a tinkerer
My panda dk is actually closer to a WoW version of a Taoist magician.
My undead priest uses holy magic (discipline) and is non canon even in my own head.
Oh and my Gilnean isn’t a worgen.

I’m right there with you. Somand wasn’t a blood elf or a high elf before becoming a void elf. She was a half elf in my head.
That was my warrior before I race changed her to velf. Bitsy the Butcher. After the race change, I remade her as a rogue.

I’m actually an Undead Blood Elf raised into Service.
I just don’t have the customizations for it…

Woulda been how I saw Lann end up after the Fourth War.

That’s neat! I always forget half-elves are technically a thing.
I would die to protect this gnome. 
Makes sense within the lore. I like it!

They are very small in number. Small as in void elves, the crack elite squad, are massive in number by comparison.
They were larger in number in the non-canon tabletop RPG, and they were originally going to be in WC3.
The ranger unit that was cut from WC3 beta was a group of half elven women that defended the forests of Lordaeron. This is what I use as the base for Somand’s backstory, even though it obviously isn’t canon.
