High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

[Alfgerdhr-moon-guard]

Unless one is willing to accept incredible birthrates AND insanely advanced maturation with no possibility of crippling mutations, we will have to say

Yes.

[Dekkar-sisters-of-elune (Dekkar)]

are you talking about me? i’ve already apologized. jeez.

btw my toon is male and i am not. if you’re going to talk about me i’m a woman.

[Broflake-illidan]

You’re getting far too into the headcannon, mayhap take a step back.

Oh snap, you sure showed me. I’ve totally used headcanon.
Which is why you can never quote me on it.

In the matter of ‘percentages’, over 90% of the occupants of Quel’Thalas were wiped out, along with over half that land being blighted. Yet they all constitute over a THIRD of the Horde total population, across all servers.
SKÖL!
CHUGS !
SLAMS HER AXE AGAINST HER SHIELD!

That does not contradict anything I have stated given the percentages I gave you were given by the game itself. So…you just seek to argue for the sake of arguing.

And none of them countered the fact that things are getting better, not worse.

That is because that was not the point of the post. Your comment of headcanon was in regards to high elves wishing to see the sunwell. So of course it won’t contradict it, it had nothing to do with your posts afterwards.

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

Yes but that doesn’t stop people from pretending it matters.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

check it out: void elves. we’re all we got. we cant tap the belf populace for more recruits. we’ve been evicted from silvermoon cause lil void critters spawn from the sunwell and a void lord tries to come thru the portal if we get near it.

[Softsong-aggramar (Softsong)]

No, I wasn’t referring to you I was referring to Drede.

[Dekkar-sisters-of-elune (Dekkar)]

oh okay. sorry.

[Broflake-illidan]

In terms of high elves? It was a statement made by one of the devs sometime back about why they weren’t playable and would not be.
They haven’t redacted on the matter as of yet.

[Dekkar-sisters-of-elune (Dekkar)]

all 12 velves that existed were killed during the alliance war campaign. so ally should get something for their now extinct allied race.

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

I would imagine the capture of a Naaru would have been the reason for the schism but, well, it worked out in BE favor.

Indeed.

It’s a whole lot easier to stomach Night elves getting along with the Highborne? What? They’ve been separated for thousands of years, and in that time their resentment for the Highborne has only increased.

It’s apparent that either a) you didn’t actually read Elegy or b) you read all of it, and understood none of it. In either case, the assertion above is patently untrue.

When many of the High elves returned to the Alliance the Night elves were their greatest critics.

I find this point interesting, considering that the bulk of the High Elves have been a part of the Alliance since roughly Year 6, whereas the Night Elves joined (at the earliest) in Year 21. Your comment implies the NE’s were in the Alliance first, which is also patently false.

While the original races of the alliance already greeted them coldly, and with suspicioun it was the Night elves that took the extra step to warn and pit the Alliance against them.

This one goes on the list of decidedly false things you’ve stated in your post, thus far. It isn’t the High Elves, who are actively participating in the Alliance at this point, who are met with suspicion – rather, it is Blood Elves who the Alliance are concerned about.

Two entirely different groupings.

Even the Highborne that were accepted back into Night elven society are treated as pariah, as evidenced by the dialogue you get when you speak to the sentinels regarding Highborne mage trainers. W

This hasn’t been the case for at least a half-decade, in-universe, and for more specificity I would recommend you read Elegy.

Shandris Feathermoon even said that had it not been for Tyrande’s mercy she was honorbound to slay any and all highborne in her sight. Tyrande and a few outliers are the only examples of Night elves getting along with High elves, while the majority are represented as being highly skeptical and weary of them.

Elegy, friend, Elegy. Also, you might consider not citing to lore from like 12 years ago to make points about today’s Azeroth.

High elves and Blood Elves have been seperated for what? Twelve or so years?

Actually, 27. Who’s counting though?

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

there might be 12 lightforged draenei on the vindicaar. might. dont quote me. meanwhile theres like 75+ high elves in the game that apparently all forgot how to reproduce

[Dreadmoon-saurfang (Dreadmoon)]

It amazes me that people still think blonde-haired, blue-eyed High Elves on the Alliance will be a justifiable when you already have Void Elves.

If Blizzard is going to (somehow) introduce them as a playable race, it will probably be next decade.

It’s also more likely that Blizzard will give Blood Elves blue-eyes to shutdown the argument for blonde-haired, blue-eyed High Elves on the Alliance. I can only hope the latter is true to stop all the “I want Alliance High-Elves threads”.

[Murgatroyd-lightbringer (Murgatroyd)]

when Highborne literally REJOINED the Night Elves in Cataclysm.

You mean when a tiny number of them did that. The vast majority of the Highborne cast still alive was busy hiding out under a dome for 10,000 years with their Legion overlords while much of the world was bathed in blood and war - which is why Tyrande metaphorically raked Thalyssra over the coals in Suramar.

[Alfgerdhr-moon-guard]

I understand; I hope you know my rants are against Blizzard’s practices, not the results.
Who knows, I may actually play a few of these races myself one day, as I do firmly believe in the ‘mile in your boots’ philosophy.
Skäl.

[Alfgerdhr-moon-guard]

I have stated given the percentages I gave you were given by the game itself.

Same here.
Skäl.

[Softsong-aggramar (Softsong)]

It’s apparent that either a) you didn’t actually read Elegy or b) you read all of it, and understood none of it. In either case, the assertion above is patently untrue

Right, I guess Shandris didn’t say she would have killed them on sight if it weren’t for Tyrande. Or that the Night elven Sentinals didn’t literally say that they still hold the Highborne responsible for their actions in the past. What was I thinking.

I find this point interesting, considering that the bulk of the High Elves have been a part of the Alliance since roughly Year 6 , whereas the Night Elves joined (at the earliest) in Year 21 . Your comment implies the NE’s were in the Alliance first, which is also patently false.

There were many High elves that returned to the alliance after the third war, and were stated to have been greeted coldly by the alliance for abandoning them when they needed it most. They warned the alliance about their actions regarding the legion and the sundering.

This one goes on the list of decidedly false things you’ve stated in your post, thus far. It isn’t the High Elves, who are actively participating in the Alliance at this point, who are met with suspicion – rather, it is Blood Elves who the Alliance are concerned about.

Two entirely different groupings.

The sentinels literally collaberate this pont when you speak to them regarding the Highborne mage trainers. They quite literally say they still blame them for their actions in the past. I cannot understand why you think this is false or untrue.

This hasn’t been the case for at least a half-decade, in-universe, and for more specificity I would recommend you read Elegy .

There is nothing in Elegy that suggests that Night elves as a society have accepted the Highborne, or High elves, or have forgiven them for their past. If you have any evidence that suggests otherwise, you could either post it here or stop citing Elegy.

Elegy , friend, Elegy . Also, you might consider not citing to lore from like 12 years ago to make points about today’s Azeroth.

Again, cite your evidence or don’t respond at all.

Actually, 27. Who’s counting though?

Yes twenty seven, over what? The thousands of years between High and Night elves?

[Broflake-illidan]

Same here.

The 37% population is not supported by lore.
Skal.

[Murgatroyd-lightbringer (Murgatroyd)]

Blood Elf Highborne

That set of three words does not go together. Neither High Elves or Blood Elves are Highborne. They are descended from them, they are not them.

[Murgatroyd-lightbringer (Murgatroyd)]

check it out: void elves. we’re all we got. we cant tap the belf populace for more recruits. we’ve been evicted from silvermoon cause lil void critters spawn from the sunwell and a void lord tries to come thru the portal if we get near it.

Actually there is a ready supply of Thalassian Elves that could be brought over to the Void who didn’t exile you.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

yeah but then they wouldnt be able to pilgrimage to the sunwell.
