Honestly I think Alleriara and Nelfas are the same person.

I think this is the case as well.

Also, all this talk about ways to add filthy humans in the Horde is making me side eye you guys.

But you are a filthy human!

I’ve had an itch for hozen recently tbh.

We want Silver Covenant high elves that were there always fighting for alliance. Not void elves with corruptions in their hair. They don’t even have blonde or white hair options.

[Elyssaria-kargath]

Feeling cranky today. This isn’t feeing like much of a lounge when every other sentence speaks of the silver covenant. I am as pro high elf as they come… but that can’t be the sole argument for high elves in general.

Idk I’ll take em if they give em, but maybe the BA customizations for NEs has me satisfied enough for customization.

@Alleriara-moon-guard

Not void elves with corruptions in their hair. They don’t even have blonde or white hair options.

Hair options don’t necessitate a whole new race slot. They can just be added to void elves.

[Elyssaria-kargath]

I honestly think the un-voided skin tones and blue eyes for void elves was an attempt to soften the blow for blood elves getting blue eyes.

Now for some positivity, I don’t think they are done with void elf customizations if they really do intend to improve the allied races in near as much depth as they did the core races.

According to Blizzard, the datamined blue eyes were originally only intended for the helf NPCs. After player feedback, they decided to give high elf options (they described them as such themselves) to both blood elves and void elves.

They did say they were considering adding more if memory serves.

Yeah. My Light forged Draenei is about to go human if they don’t fix anything. Talk about the short end of the customization stick lol.

Your are Correct the High Elf Faction known as Sin’dorei or Blood Elf like in your name title have been playable for the Horde, But We are asking for the Alliance Version that have always been there just not playable for the Alliance.

And you have been told “No” for thirteen years, and that won’t change just because a handful of treasonous elves defied the command of their last king to return to Quel’thalas.

High Elves were in the Alliance of Lordaeron for less than one iteration of the RTS. They are not an Alliance race. The Silver Covenant is one, not very large, brigade of Rangers.

You have Ren’dorei, under a beloved signature hero unit from the RTS days. That’s how it went.

Forum spam echo chambers won’t change the facts. Playable High Elves are Horde and have been for over a decade.

TL;DR No.

[Avarie-farstriders]

You know what we need? Spider elves. And with their webs they could easily be high elves too.

[Somand-proudmoore]

@Avarie-farstriders

Spider elves. And with their webs they could easily be high elves too.

How high of an elf they’d be would depend on the size of nearby buildings or mountains.

@Tymberlea-moon-guard

But it has changed. We have them now. Some like Valarian there just don’t want to accept it.

Wait a tic.

They officially joined during the Second War and began to drift their resources away from the Alliance in the aftermath (some of which is Deathwings machinations) but while they were pulling away after the second war, for the majority of the third war they were still a part of the Alliance of Lordaeron officially. Its not until after the war that the newly rechristened Blood Elves finally cut ties from the now defunct Alliance of Lordaeron. You know… cause of an attempt at at least partial racial genocide.

Still thats at least worth an entire RTS… even if they only participated in part in two of them. >.>

EDIT: It has been shown to me that this is wrong in that the High Elves left after the Internment Camps were broken. My next point still stands though.

Either way they were units in two RTS games and both expansions to those games associated with the Alliance.

@Tymberlea-moon-guard

The Silver Covenant is one, not very large, brigade of Rangers.

While I agree with scope, they’re not just rangers. They include magisters, rangers, warrior, couple rogues, and one or two pallies. There is even a warlock in there.

@Tymberlea-moon-guard

Indeed. A much more interesting story to explore. I do hope Blizzard expands this and maybe even one day makes the Rift a small city (Or quarter) for us.

@Avarie-farstriders

Spider Empire Rise!

[Avarie-farstriders]

For the fal’dorei!

Quel’Thalas left the Alliance after the Second War, but before the Third War. They left over the failure of the orc internment camps. Post name change to blood elves, Quel’Thalas was never officially part of the Alliance. Kael’s forces aided Garathos, but they weren’t ever formally inducted into the Alliance.

[Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord]

Did they formally leave? I was under the impression from what I’d seen that they only withdrew their resources and the majority of their military assistance. (Until Kael left cause of, again, attempted racial genocide.)

The rest of the point still stands either way. Their units were associated with the Alliance for two whole RTS games.

[Somand-proudmoore]

@Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord

Did they formally leave?

According to Chronicle:

The high elves of Quel’Thalas were the first to leave the Alliance.

Chronicle Volume III, page 34

This is in mention to the Alliance losing members after the orcs escaped the interment camps.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

Some returning points:

• SL has been out for less than 2 months, but feels like an eternity for me…
• Blizzconline is coming late February. We will probably get an 9.1 reveal then. Cross fingers for more customization.
• The story is also progressing over the weeks in a way that leads to a Blizzconline reveal.
• Normal skins for void elves didn’t break the game. Who could have expected that, uh?

[Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord]

I really need to get myself a copy of that darned thing.

Fair enough. I’ll make a note in the other post.

Wait, so Garithos was even further vindicated?
