I guess if plundering artifacts makes you a shaman, than I can plunder a museum, steal Fat Henry’s armor and crown myself the king of England.
I am always impressed at how much you say for such little consequence Kizzan.
@Alamara: Its not headcanon just because you say so. Again, play the nightborne recruitement quest. I understand void elves are you favorite thing, but the nightborne recruitement quest explains quite a bit.
Legally speaking you’d need to get a butter knife off of a watery tart in a pond to become King of England.
I thought I had to tug a scimitar from the bosom of a boulder?
No you need to order a round of drinks for a table of night managers.
It isn’t what I would’ve done, but that doesn’t make it a mistake – so, my answer to your question is no.
With that being said, Blizzard introducing the Blood Elves (and Nightborne) to the Horde has allowed for that portion of the playerbase to experience the culture(s) and narrative(s) of numerous (4, to date) groups who were participants in the historical conflict between Elfkind and Trollkind – whereas, the Alliance is only capable of experiencing a couple (2, to date).
The issue, to my thinking, isn’t that Blood Elves went Horde, or that Nightborne went Horde – it’s that the Alliance didn’t receive any variety of troll to balance this out.
What is worse, is that the Horde-side playerbase seems to feel entitled to both a) having access to a plethora of Elfkind and b) maintaining a monopoly on all Trollkind.
Let’s be real, Australia has less people than Texas. It’s little.
Do you know the backstory of the Defias, Lorythin? They wouldn’t exist if uppity Human nobles hadn’t refused to pay them for their part of rebuilding Stormwind and ordered their Stonemason’s Guild disbanded when Edwin Van Cleef demanded restitution.
They turned to banditry after that, there’s nothing canonical saying they don’t worship the light or that they were ignoble prior to that. So, the human terrors of Elwynn Forest are the Alliance’s own making.
By all means, make them Horde so there can be a Horde encampment near the gates of Stormwind. That could be all kinds of fun.
This is a fantastically made post that really makes it clear all the pros and cons of adding High Elves. I would LOVE to see them added although I do understand there already an issue of too many elven races within the game
Showing the general populace your skewed view on lore is definitely not, little consequence.
But I’m glad you think it is.
If the game could speak, it would say otherwise to your flaimbait.
lol
Texas is big, Australia isn’t small.
A hook is only the start of a story, not everything in it.
The staff has the power of lightning. You can easily make a story in which shamanism is required to master that power.
By the way, the void elves found a box. That’s their story. (And the box was never heard of again.)
Because I looked it up
They very much are Alliance themes. Pretending like that history doesn’t exist won’t erase it. High Elves are an Alliance race and should become playable.
Prove me wrong bud. Otherwise, you are nothing but background noise to be ignored.
They very much are Alliance themes.
Those are aesthetics. The core themes of the blood elves at introduction were redemption, pride and rebirth. These are all Horde themes.
Please keep up.
They very much were Alliance themes. Pretending like that history doesn’t exist won’t erase it. High Elves were an Alliance race and are now playable in both Factions.
I fixed it for you my dear, I think you had it wrong.
Lol sure.
Pirates: 1 expansion.
High Elves: 8 expansions.

I pray every night before i go to bed to be ignored by antis, but you always respond to me . there is no god.

They didn’t master it. It was taken from Lei Shen. Who got his power of lightning from Ra-den. It hasn’t touched the elements once. Elves have never had a single inkling of shamanism. Not once, not now.
High Elves are an Alliance race and are central to the Alliance’s themes and identity.
Yeah. So core they weren’t added for 15 years
High Elves: 8 expansions.
I think you mean, 3 expansions where they were even the slightest, faintest bit relevant, and only as dalaran flavor-troops.
