It’s not possible. The Alliance never has to redeem themselves for the horrors they commit. Only the Horde! Or so says the forums.
A red herring is bringing up an irrelevant talking point – you, specifically, posited that a group must be relevant to the story in order to qualify as a candidate for playability. I countered, succinctly.
As unfortunate as it is for you, you aren’t going to get away with just classifying anything you’re not up to the task of responding to, “a red herring”.
If the only requisite for a race becoming playable is that it qualifies under the “Rule of Cool”, then why does any of this next bit I’ll quote matter at all?
If relevancy isn’t an issue, then the Silver Covenant being or not being anything has nothing to do with whether they could become the playable iteration of High Elves. Listen to your own assertions, here, friend.

They don’t have to be. The fates know that I helped HM and NB plenty and they went a different direction for really lame reasons.
Which instances are we talking about from the Alliance?

This is one of the things I think could be handled in-game, and if written well would make a lot of sense to me regardless of which side of the fence I’m leaning on.
By all means, write the Silver Covenant finally having had enough of Dalaran’s neutrality and deciding they are going to publicly and completely support the Alliance and be expelled from Dalaran by the Council for it.
Write some conflict in Dalaran that the SC refuses to back down on or a unified SC - instead of discrete elements of it sent as small additions to Alliance forces - response to the Horde that places them under the Boy King’s command and the Council flipping out over it.

The Purge of Dalaran, What happened at Taurajo.
Cool, where did I make such an argument? Or propose such a point?
Otherwise, you’re pulling a Mowachassa and arguing a point I haven’t made. I simply disagreed on where the silver covenant stands. Hence, why I have issued no counter, because its no argument I ever made. It would be nonsensical given the response I gave later on.
You would know that, if you read what was there instead of what you thought was there.
A lot of things happened for stupid things/
Truth hurts.

They could, though at this point the horde has a lot to answer for and it seems like they won’t.

I know, but I think if they are going to rezz the faction conflict this would be fine. Although, I do think personally that the SC is already Alliance.
Happened in response to the Horde whereas something like Teldrassil was not a response to anything.
Maybe? I wish people would make up their minds if the citizens escaped or not.

Details are unknown, but from the few hints we have, I theorize that she, like other high elves (especially some ranks of the Farstriders) disagreed with Lor’themar and Rommath (probably after she recovered from giving birth, so months or a couple of years or so after the Scourge attack).
When she refused to shut up about it, she got exiled, and considered that an insult her family’s sacrifices.
Vereesa has shown respect towards Halduron and no sympathy for the average blood elf. But she considers Lor’themar a coward and really hates Rommath.
I’d guess that Vereesa’s idea of “redemption” for the blood elves is to depose their leaders and bring Quel’thalas back to the Alliance. Like Umbric, she probably thinks the Alliance’s ideals are better for her people (plus, she hates the Horde anyway).

Only a fool holds such confidence that his words about others is truth.
Teldrassil was in response to Genn’s actions in Storm Heim.

dude its neither. you were told flat out why alliance high elves will NEVER be added; that they infringed on the look and feel of a core horde race and blurred the distinctions between the factions too much. it has nothing to with being relevant which they arent. they have zero presence or voice on alliance matters
high elves are blood elves just as ion told us. the only thing that is different is a single adjective in recognition of what they had lost. yet into that single change of adjective you and other pros imagine some deep chasm of difference that nobody else sees

Lol no. The Warchief doesn’t get to go have a tea party with the King of SW after her toy was destroyed and then decide she needs to respond to said toy being broken.
Then make up some “presidentthatwillnotbenamed” sort of excuse about “if we don’t attack them they will create and use these WMDs ((that I conveniently have ready to go) against us!”

Teldrassil was a unprovoked and indefensible genocide, just one part of Sylvanas’s schemes to feed thousands of souls to the hungering darkness, she literally mention that the whole point of the War was to cause as much death as possible and events like Teldrassil fit right into that.

Wrong. She attacked because Genn proved her correct in that there would be no so called peace when they were supposed to have a truce while fighting the Legion and Genn decided to attack. By attacking Teldrassil, she was preventing another sneak attack by sneak attacking first.
Genn is the reason why Teldrassil is Ashes.
Genn sealed Teldrassil’s fate.

You need to go and explain the events of the meeting with Anduin and Slooveenie then and why she would agree if she felt so attacked and threatened.
No. Bad elf. She made excuses and nothing else.

No, no, no, no, no. Just because Teldrassil wasn’t justified doesn’t mean we have to pretend the Purge was. A single member of a community engaging in treason isn’t a justification for an ethnic cleansing where the minority are displaced, imprisoned, murdered and killed for their possessions.

By the way, Sylvanas don’t even mention the events of Stormheim in the “A Good War” Novel, not even once.
Edit: She mention it, but it was not a reasoning behind the war.
