I love it how you’re using a toy as if it is a canon source when it is not. I mean, are you saying Mechagnomes were also born as Alarm Clocks?
Void Elves are Void Infused Blood/High Elves. The Void is basically apart of there DNA now. They are not Void Creatures disguised as Elves.
So, by your claim, Blood Elves are biologically a different race cosidering they were also changed from the Fel Radiation during the reconstruction of Silvermoon, as well as hanging around the Fel in Outlands, as well as physically changed when the Holy Magic changed the Priest/Paladins eyes for the Blood Elves?
void elves are an aberration. and above all a conduit for the void. theyre a walking time bomb. the void influences everything you do constantly whispering at you, and can even agent smith itself through you(something alleria couldnt even prevent from happening). one day all void elves will give in to the whispers. so yes you are children of the void, not silvermoon
i feel this post from an older thread is relevant here and gives a nice summation of the situation
if any high elf can manifest green eyes due to fel exposure and lack of the sunwells energies, how does that make them a different race
“High Elves? Honestly, spoilers guys, Blood Elves are pretty much High Elves. Void Elves are also pretty much another flavor of High Elves.”
Yep, Ion has said it.
According to a dev interview Ion gave several months ago, Blood Elves were originally unintended to have blue eyes in Shadowlands, but later on that decision was reversed following team discussions. If the art department was involved, what was the reasoning that led to blue eyes being added for Void Elves and Blood Elves?
This is another place where there was a race, High Elves, in the game which hadn’t really been represented on player characters. Blood Elves were the closest, but had felt green eyes. It was an opportunity where we had a number of elven races, and we could tie it back to their roots, letting players choose where they want to align and what fantasy to play out. We did have a lot of discussion about it, ultimately we might do more in the future, but for now we’re providing the option to have a few High Elf customizations available.
Even Ely has said it.
Hmmm, am I missing out on something else?
Oh right, and there is nothing in the lore to say Void Elves are a different race to High Elves.
Void elves are like the felbood. The void changed them physically enough to be considered a different race ingame. Race does not mean the same thing as irl. Blood elves too were a political thing, name change for all that fell in WC3 when Arthas attacked and then they turned to fel that physically changed them. Any high elf could have still called themselves a blood elf since it was a political name change. And therefore is why blood elves get high elf customization, since anyone who wasn’t in the city during the attack can come back and take the name blood elf.
Alleria came back to visit silvermoon, where it was discovered her affliction could cause the sunwell to be corrupted- the magics that void elves used were deemed to dangerous to be by the sunwell so they were exiled. Note that the sunwell didn’t have a problem with the fel users, only the void users had corruption in them that wanted to corrupt the sunwell. To affiliate yourself with the void as to call themselves void elves is enough for a race to be distinct.
As for the fel glowing eyes, they wouldn’t have them because they don’t mess with the fel for energy, they are satiated already with void magics. Blood elves who still have green eyes continue to use fel (like warlocks/demonhunters), have the lingering fel corruption that was said to take years/generations to wear off. We saw void elves get purple void eyes to reflect the corruption. Then the blue eyes for the high elf fantasy many clamoured for on the alliance. So asking for this customization to make any sense would just be asking for blood elves, which we know was a troll bait on the original post!
You got infused with void - entrobic embrace. That is your corruption. Unless you get enough fel back in no fel eyes! Although you could probably get green eyes all over your body with the void magic. Maybe some eye nipples.
Alleria keeps her eye color in Void Form and her Void Form is more intense than ours bro let me keep my eye color give the green bro free the homie I don’t care if Alleria is the main character I’m the maw walker
I know they’re arcane bro what I’m saying is the void didn’t change her eye color she got to keep her original so let us blood elves keep our original eye color too pls
the green eyes for void elves make more sense lore wise than blue eyes
I would absolutely settle for green iris at the very least. We need something for us Void Elves who go by the actual canon story that we’re blood elves.
I mean even high elves get green irises. I believe Alleria had them or some other ranger. The glowing fel radiation probably not good with void elves. The color that your eye muscles are maybe. But that’s like hard to notice from far away, unless you want to zoom in your character. Since as of now the irises and the glows match colors.
Edit: Alleria technically has green eye (irises). No green glow. Googled it.
