Hello everyone with this post i dont want anyone feels offended, i just want to say what i think about the elves in the tribal horde. Also i want to know what others think.
Ok. So What is the horde exactly? or better said, why different factions/races come together to form the horde?
Survival.
If we see all the situations and history of the races of the horde them at some point needs help because:
1- The aliance rejects them so then they need to look for other allies because they can´t survive alone. (Undeads - Blood elves)
2- They’re enemies of the aliance and they’re very few so they need to ally with others. (Orcs in thrall campaign, trolls)
3- The horde help their people then they decide to join them. (Tauren)
4- The alliance attacks them because for the lulz (Goblins)
5- “The two factions help my people but i don´t like taranda” (night elves past of rare substances)
6- “we are related” (Mah´gar Orcs and tauren highmountain)
So we will consent in the number one: “The aliance rejects them so then they need to look for other allies becouse they can´t survive alone”
When high elves were attacked by the scourge the aliance can´t or dont want to help them because: the kingdoms of the north were the scourge and the southern kingdoms (strormwind) had other problems… delfias.
Aaaaand a nice man call Garithos treat them badly
Aaaaaaaaand the icing on the cake a group of night elves go to silvermoon to attack and spy the blood elves because… because no sense.
So sylvanus approached thrall and say “They need allies” and thrall says “They look effeminate but okey” and then the elves joined the horde.
But. Are the blood elves in the horde because they really appreciate their allies?
No. As the forsaken they need to survive so the horde are “tools” for them.
When mop came and garrosh separate the races of the horde What did Lor´themar do? write a letter to varian to join the alliance.
But as we know it did not go well.
Going to the specific point: Why i don´t like blood elves in the horde
Because the horde is a set of tribal or evil or caotic races.
Orcs? tribal and sometimes caotic.
Trolls? Tribal
Taurens? They are good boys but very tribals.
Goblins? Very caotic.
Undead? they are not tribals and they don´t really care their allies, but they are evil and caotic then it looks good for the aesthetics.
Blood elves…? They are not evil, they are not tribals… ¿Caotic? Nah they sometimes use fel magic ¿And what? humans dark iron or gnomes use it and others banned magic too. Silvermoon is like to go to disneyland the magic kindom with brooms sweeping all day. I’m sorry, I really do not want to offend, but seriously it’s a magical kingdom with everything very neat. They don´t look well aesthetically as a race for the horde.
So if at some point another game of warcraft comes out, and the story continues after world of warcraft I really like blood elves are no longer in the horde. I really do not think they belong here in the horde, they look like the typical pretty characters who think they’re bad boys.
Thanks for reading me. Please tell me what you think.
