High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

[Elyssaria-kargath]

What is seen, cannot be unseen

[Harlequin-muradin (Harlequin)]

Oh, yeah, let’s focus on the name-change and ignore everything that came after that, just like you are ignoring all the other quotes.

Because you’re suggesting that his comment announcing their new name was somehow inferring that he was making some sort of departure from who they were as High elves, when the name change itself was only to honor them. They weren’t renouncing what it means to be a High elf with that comment, merely proclaiming that the remaining High elves honor the dead high elves that fought for their survival.

Especially since after the name change they went back to doing everything the high elves do. As has been pointed out, it’s the ones that didn’t stand with their kingdom (who left the Alliance prior) that have changed whereas the blood elves retained the culture and homeland.

So the name was 100% to honor their fallen, not some renunciation of being what the clear majority of their race is about.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

That’s exactly what he’s saying there.

Amazing how you can deny written words just because they don’t fit your opinion.

Deny it all you want. Verba volant, scripta manent.

Yes because I can identify context, I’m sorry that you can’t.

No, you can’t.

Or else you’d notice that speech was the way Kael’thas found to move his people in a new direction, which included seeking power at any cost and forfeiting the old taboos and morals of thalassian society.

Looks at the Fel Crystals, siphoning, Blood Knights, Alliance killing

Should we tell her?

[Elyssaria-kargath]

Yes but with the name change came a paradigm shift. They started using Fel, and siphoning life from creatures. That is the fork in the road.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Fel Crystals

Can we not?

[Kirela-arygos (Kirela)]

Let’s not forget joining the Horde, with races they had fought against before if I am not mistaken.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

They started using Fel

No they didn’t. Do we have to do this every three days or so?

[Mowachassa-dalaran (Mowachassa)]

They are ok in my book, they are good for the skin and hair and they give you beautiful blue eyes.

At least if used with moderation, of course…

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

It’s almost like they don’t actually like the Blood Elf lore/story/themes and are only playing for ‘Pretty Elves’ and thus want all the lore retconned so they can get new things for their ‘Pretty Elves.’

[Guzzle-barthilas]

But they didn’t siphon energy from fel crystals.

[Elyssaria-kargath]

How did they get their green glow to their eyes?

[Nithenarina-dentarg (Nithenarina)]

People don’t seem to want to accept the fact trolls are very much a progenitor race for many. It’s just a deep rooted thing in Warcraft the interplay between all the elves and indeed all the different trolls.

I’m sure no one would complain if they brought in Amani trolls.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

They used fel crystals to power their arcane structures which then irradiated them due to proximity. They did not consume fel energies directly.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

How did they get their green glow to their eyes?

Heh, I always love when that question is made.

I should point to the intense fel-glowing eyes of Lor’themar and Valeera in the latest patch’s cinematic.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Heh, I always love when that question is made.

Really? Because it damages my will to live.

[Valarían-hydraxis]

Glad to see the reopening has gathered the finest of both sides, nice to see all usual’s from both sides here.

[Kirela-arygos (Kirela)]

No… Not ALL, I am sorry.

[Alfgerdhr-moon-guard]

Yes, as long as YOU guys come up with the same old, then so shall we so THERE!
Sers, this is getting repetitive.
And if you can call us ‘helfers’, WE can ask for PAHEs.
now, where was I? Ah…yes…
Skäl.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

And if you can call us ‘helfers’, WE can ask for PAHEs.

We’re not beginning the ‘helfer is an ethnic slur’ thing again are we?

Ask for helfs however you want, I’m just saying I’m here all the time and I had no idea what a PAHE was, it’s just not very clear which is an inefficient use of language.
