I feel it should be mentioned at this point my uni major was history and sociology. About 2 years of that was spent studying the Gall-Goídil (meaning foreign Gael) of Ireland and Scotland and the process of cultural exchange (language, art, technology) between the Celtic local peoples and the Norse settlers who would later integrate and cease to be a separate entity.
The Norse (and later Nordic) culture group are also known as the North Germanic cultural group because they are a sub-group of the Germanic culture alongside similar groups like East Germanic (Gothic peoples from the Ukraine, Belarus and Poland who either got wiped out or integrated into Slavic culture prior to the written record) and West Germanic (Old Saxons, Franks, modern Dutch people, modern English people, modern Germans and Austrians).
Stop saying these things as if you have any idea what they mean, you clearly don’t.
Isn’t it established that the Celtic tribes lived in the Germanic areas and the Germanic tribes moved in and integrated there and became the more modern Germanic group while still having descended from Celts?
Edit: Found this.
All of Great Britain and Ireland used to be Celtic … until the Germanic peoples arrived. Today, the descendants of the original Celts are primarily Germans and Slavs, while the insular Celts (the Irish, Highland Scots, Manx, etc.) are descendants of the non-genetically 'Celtic ’ peoples of the Atlantic coast.

That is basically the knowledge I was working off of before.
People are allowed to discuss other things besides what you happen to think they should discuss and that’s still a no on blonde hair faction change and play the proper race.
No, after Augustus’s failed attempt to cross into Germania Rome withdrew from Germania leaving the Celtic peoples who lived past their foederati allies on the frontiers at the mercy of the much larger and more powerful Germanic tribes starting roughly around 10AD. The peoples beyond these frontiers either fled into the lands of the foederati or those of Rome itself and began a long process of Romanisation (which is why people like the Swiss and Romanians speak Latin-derived languages) and those beyond those borders were absorbed and forcefully integrated into Germanic tribes.
Celtic culture was displaced entirely from mainland Europe by around 500AD apart from small pockets (the Basques of France and Spain and the Galicians of Spain). It only remained strong in Britain and then indirectly in Brittany, France when large numbers of British Celts fled south into Roman lands to flee the invading Anglo-Saxons.
I HATE to be that guy…
but they kinda gave a inch and people want a mile.
Night elves still haaaate mages right? they wont be happy to embrace the highelves once more right?
Farstrider tattoos should be for both. (Alleria is sporting them)
Incorrect.
There is no information on population numbers.
They are in fact playable. Thats what a Night Elf mage is if its not one of their apprentices. There is nothing in lore or otherwise that states you cannot be one of the Shen’dralar.
Tyrande is a little- I mean.
Yes. Yes they did. Though I think they were meant to be more concerned with the former allies of Azshara and they did not participate in the War of the Ancients and effectively fled the battle instead of just the “lol you use magic”.
Night Elves while not entirely accepting of magic among themselves have toned it down over the years and are only really afraid of overuse of the arcane.
Ironically the reason they were afraid of that was dealt with in legion…
If they just call it quits there, for one thats just so mundane.
For two they have an opportunity to give us the nature and the arcane options along with unique ones for boths sides. Light/Fel for Belfs, void for velf.
I do feel that blood elves deserve a wider array of tattoo options than void elves, tbh. Blood elves got sweet fa for customisation while void elves not only got tonnes of stuff, but got their options way before the other ARs.
