Yet in Legion the Silver Covenant outright left Dalaran to help in the Hunter campaign.
Think of it this way, as far as the story has told, the Silver Covenant live in Dalaran, that’s as far as their “allegiance” in aiding Dalaran in any neutral act.
Because every other appearance they’ve had in the story is either aiding the Alliance in fighting a world ending threat, or aiding the Alliance in fighting the Horde.
That’s not neutrality. See how they’ve never helped the Horde?
Exactly this. Dalaran is strictly used as a “gameplay hub” for both factions of players. If you wanna talk lore, Dalarans ruling council is neutral and the Sunreavers and Silver covenant are Horde and Alliance aligned respectively who use Dalaran.
In the Silver covenants case, they just live there, they don’t do Dalarans bidding.
Dalaran and the Kirin Tor’s neutrality is one of those iffy “game mechanic” things. They were an Alliance city initially (in vanilla/BC, you could fight hostile Dalaran mobs as Horde in Alterac Mountains) didn’t have a Horde contingent until moving to Northrend, and would lose and regain it afterwards.
That being said, I’m not in favor of adding what was essentially an NPC bouncer faction as an allied race, especially when allied races until now have represented new allies, and the SC high elves have been team blue for life for decades now.
None of this has any relation to what I said. Please, try again.
The city itself is independent, but the Silver Covenant is not.
That’s odd, because the Silver Covenant is exclusively Alliance-aligned.
As far as Dalaran being neutral, this is mostly a matter of game mechanics. They’ve always self-described as “independent”, which affords them the ability to work with whomever they choose to without reproach – this doesn’t at all imply they’re equally inclined towards working with both factions.
There is a reason why 95% of the NPC’s in Dalaran, either the Northrend-version of the Legion-version, are members of races aligned with the Alliance.
The Sunwell was restored in TBC.
The Purge of Dalaran occurred in MoP.
You’re 0 for 3, at this point, friend.
The Silver Covenant are outspoken in favor of the Alliance. Not sure where you’re getting your information on their views from, but I’ll just leave this here:

I’d specifically recommend you take a look at the list of members, taking note of their faction tag.
As myself and others have pointed out the lore population has no relevance on whether a group is playable or not.
Void elves are described as a “crack squad.” If we take this literally, a squad in in the military can be about 9-15 people. Even if it’s figurative that still means a very small group.
Mag’har probably number no more than a few hundred due to the nature of their last minute evacuation.
You have said this before on spam level… it was to protect from the Amani, and to have the alliance side of the coin. That wasn’t them pledging loyalty to the darkspear and far striders. Try again…
They also strictly say, with a voice actor even, that they don’t give 2 flying F*cks about helping the Horde, they’re here to help defend their homeland.
the main reason they were denied for an AR spot is because blizzard already considers them playable. yes whenever the devs talk about alliance high elves population is always brought up but its not the main reason
And showing up on Isle of Thunder.
And being in Theramore during its destruction.
And being stationed at the entrance to Crystalsong.
And being present in skirmishes against Vrykul in western Northrend.
And being present for conflicts in Dragonblight.
Not to mention it’s often suggested that any number of the High Elves in the 7th Legion may well be members of the Silver Covenant as well.
Well I’m going to be working on other Projects that I have put on the back shelf for a long time. So anyways here’s half of my Customization Options for my Own Concept Art for High Elves. I hope you guys enjoy. https://twitter.com/WoWJedi25/status/1149048043402080256/photo/1
As for me I’m going back to my own Fantasy World. Take Care Folks.
…and Panderan were a joke.
Goblins were neutral.
Worgen were wild NPCs; the sons of Argul, who attacked everything on sight.
The Draenei were what is now called the ‘Broken’, in WC2 expansion ‘Beyond the Dark Portal’.
The main reason is the devs are just too unwilling to admit they’ve been wrong , wrong, WRONG!
Haha there will always be people that debate whether they ever existed at all.
I feel that it is irrefutable that high elves were and are a separate demographic group and as such would make a fine allied race for the Alliance, bringing with them their dragonhawks and a couple of elven destroyers.
