High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

[Fyrebusche-wyrmrest-accord]

There are no Blood Elf lodges in game or any specific ones in lore. That article may need to be edited.

So no, they are not a large part of Blood Elf society. Given the other things I said it’s safe to say they are on the decline.

why dont you show a source for some of your headcanon

The game and the lore.

I literally said that in the post…

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

Since some here are really into half-elves, what do you think of this Kalecgos fan art?

thats what i thought. there is no lore source just your assumption. thats like me stating the SC is officially dead because they cant afford to leave people to guard the alliance safe space in dalaran anymore

[Moritz-anvilmar (Moritz)]

if he is saying there are no farstriders that is stupid.
I might be misunderstanding though

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

thats what i thought. there is no lore source just your assumption.

But there isnt lodges…the only ones that would remotely count are Farstrider Enclave and Farstrider Retreat. The main other ones were high elf inhabited.

I’m saying there are no Blood Elf owned Lodges.

All of them where built outside of Quel’Thalas by the groups that would eventually stay in the Alliance and/or be exiled.

thats what i thought. there is no lore source just your assumption.

Show me a single lodge currently owned by Blood Elves in lore or in game.

[Moritz-anvilmar (Moritz)]

Do we have any reason to think that it is not a thing?

[Fyrebusche-wyrmrest-accord]

there is a lot more to quel’thalas then silvermoon, we all wish the devs could reflect everything but they cant. we dont spend time on the edges of quel’thalas theres no reason to put the assets in game

[Moritz-anvilmar (Moritz)]

I feel so long as there are the NPC’s we dont need the location.
Unless location means a lot to the group of them.

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

Do we have any reason to think that it is not a thing?

They where all built outside of Quel’Thalas. All the known ones at least.

When they where ordered to withdraw only the ones loyal to the Alliance stayed in them.

If there where any in Quel’Thalas then they would be in Ghostlands and that was decimated.

[Moritz-anvilmar (Moritz)]

But we know there are farstriders in lore on the horde yes? (fact not up for debate).
So why think there are not more just because they are not plot important?

[Fyrebusche-wyrmrest-accord]

to distance the ranger theme from blood elves because there is no lore or unique culture for alliance high elves

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Thats a copout. You literally said Drede was headcannoning when he said there is no current blood elf lodges (which is true because neither the ones in Quel’thalas are lodges), yet try to headcanon to try to defend yourself.

Dont turn yourself into an awful meme.

[Fyrebusche-wyrmrest-accord]

The Farstriders are an elite group of blood elf rangers active in Quel’Thalas. They are led by the Ranger-General of Silvermoon Halduron Brightwing. who succeeded Sylvanas Windrunnerafter the Third War. The Farstriders are based in Silvermoon City, but they have several camps and lodges scattered all across Quel’Thalas. They are considered part of the blood elf government.

they have several across quel’thalas. this whole article is post arthas

[Moritz-anvilmar (Moritz)]

im not saying im right but does it matter either way about farstriders?

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

But we know there are farstriders in lore on the horde yes?

They are basically on the decline given that they are disrespected in Silvermoon and the Blood Knights essentially replaced them as a major focus of the story.

This is done to naritivly distance them from their past as High Elves and to push forward the Blood Knights as a major force.

So why think there are not more just because they are not plot important?

As I said, they all known ones in lore are outside of Quel’Thalas and went Alliance or where in Ghostlands and got destroyed.

Farstriders seem to have adapted to being more a military unit using the structures like Farstrider Retreat or working out of towns.

to distance the ranger theme from blood elves because there is no lore or unique culture for alliance high elves

We don’t really have to do that. The Blood Elves are doing it to themselves.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Link them to me right now.

i guess the SC truly is done. zero presence in dalaran

Does this have a source?
