Well it depends… do you view Highborne as Night Elves or Blood Elves?
If we follow history, the Blood Elves are all Highborne but the Night Elves are a mix of Highborne and Lowborne.
So wouldn’t Highborne representation be more aligned with Blood Elf interests? Isn’t that a main thread used to justify Nightborne siding with Blood Elves?
Point being, people often use “racial model” as representation for a race, when Elves in particular kinda break that mold being the same race having mutated cause elves are just eevees that evolve when faced with magic stones.
