I counter with; why would they join anyone? The Void Elves have spent two years-ish standing on their own and made big plays during the war putting them in a favorable light with the Alliance. Theyâve got new recruits coming in and with customization we can (kinda) say theyâre able to follow Alleriaâs path.
Aside from maybe needing buildings there they also have a nearly unassailable home.
Theyâre in a strong place. And itâs not like the SC needs them either.
IMO the name of the player race should just be renamed to High Elf. There can be a story or even just some flavor text somewhere mentioning the Void Elves joining the Silver Covenant. Maybe that theyâre further uniting different Thalassian Elves in Alliance territory to become some kind of political entity.
I donât think itâs even this tbh. They just havenât told the story yet. Probably a majority of the time weâve had High Elves present it has been through the Silver Covenant. If thereâs story coming with the new customization options it could show or at least just mention the various Alliance High Elf groups rally under the Silver Covenant banner.
Thereâs always a chance that Blizzard might revist old zones in Azeroth that Blizzard has abandoned like Northern Lordaeron near Stratholme and Quelâthalas.
I wonder if a lost abandoned Human/High Elf lands might be a good place for the Void Elves to make their new kingdom at?
I really canât wait for a comment from Blizzard officiating that the wayfarers we see in the rift are joining the VEs. The customization and the lore Iâm very happy.
My mage has always been a BE is now a VE and waits for the customization to go with it he is going to be HE wayfarer who joined up with Alleria!
Not sure about my priest, I still working on him I think just a former BE I like for him! Both will use the new customizations though
It literally happened with Dwarves with the Council of Three Hammers.
Resources, Support, and the ability to both apply their talents on a larger scale and increase their effective numbers.
Plus it adds all the naratives together in an organic way expanding both groups story going forward.
And if the reverse happened they would just have a bunch of people joining them in their floating rock base.
Completely unnecessary.
Even if they joined a larger group they could just say the ones we are playing are the ones who either are the first Void Elves or the ones who picked up Void Stuff.
Void Elves weâre a shoe-horned mistake to begin with, only made worse by their 2 year stagnation and their dis-involvement in a story that perfectly fit their theme, which is something youâd think theyâd want to do on a race they created out of thin air, give them something.
High Elves have a history on the Alliance in World of Warcraft, they donât need anymore expansion, weâre already aware of them, and theyâre the more popular of the two Alliance aligned elves, it just makes sense.
It doesnât mean that Void Elves would become extinct, it means that they would become part of a bigger group, and a group that they should have been, from the beginning.
That is because the dwarves maintain independence of each other group wise even if they are a part of the same group.
The void elves wonât go and join the silver covenant because
It makes no sense given they have a base in telogrus rift.
The silver covenant arenât void elves so they need to join from a gameplay perspective.
Blizzard has a thing where every individual race has its own individual group of which it is a partâŚ
You dont have blood elves being say, in the gilnean kingdom and the like.
Iâm in favor of it because it opens up the options for other classes. Personally I donât see myself making one as a Paladin (assuming they had one) but I know thereâs a lot of people who want that option. I donât see them giving that option if theyâre stuck under the name âVoid Elfâ which may be even more awkward considering the High Elf aesthetics are undoubtedly going to be the more popular look.
Yeah theyâre already there. All you really need is some brief mention that the High Elves and Void Elves are operating together under the same banner. The Void Elves would be the subgroup of the Alliance Thalassians. Or even their Special Forces if you wanna call them that.
Imo thatâs how it should have been from the beginning. Argus should have had Vereesa and Arator leading their band of High Elves to Argus and they meet up with Alleria and her Void Elves who joined her in using the Void. They could have been her loyal soldiers who survived the destruction of Draenor during Beyond the Dark Portal. They could have survived and escaped with Turalyon/Alleria and been fighting with them in the Nether all these years. The Rep faction could have been more appropriate and once you unlocked it you got the proper High Elf allied race with the Void customization options as well.
I donât find it hard to believe though. Both of their leaders are sisters and theyâre both part of the Alliance.
Folk tell me that even when a disc priest is wearing heavy armor and wielding a two handed sword theyâre not a paladin of any kind⌠glares at Anduin
