High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

Hunans did not restore the Arcandir. I know this for certain. It was the effort of the nighrborne and one un-affiliated NE druid that restored the arcandor.

I would say they are split between most NE and BE with a few HE in the mix.

I only recall dalaran troops there to prevent the elven armies fighting with khadgar making a cameo.

Anyways, I think half elves if made with the right customizations can closely resemble HE, but as a core race with a different model and skeleton then their parents races. I also want to see who would lead them and what they can do (either Aratar or one of Verresa’s kids)

Notably khadghar, there were a couple of VAl’sharrah refugees in shal’aran, as well as a couple of night elf highborne, all alliance leaning races.

They were shelfed during BfA, there’s a difference.

The same as high elves being shelfed during BfA, and now SL.

This is common for several races or factions that Blizzard chooses to not involve (despite it not making sense in the narrative)

There were a few highborne and val’sharrah refugees involved in the questline as well, the fact that there weren’t any blood elves says something.

I’m not going to argue over neutrality because the alliance go neutral every time there is a major threat at hand.

With humans too, the exact number of HEs is unclear since they had the same physical numbers as blood elves in game. I don’t think there’s a source expressing how numerous they were, nor do I see the relevance.

Edit: With all this being said, I don’t want people to think they should have outright rejected the horde because the alliance or alliance-leaning races made up for 75% of the involvement, but it would have made more sense for them to be neutral narratively.

In World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: The Eastern Kingdoms, Khadgar mentions being disappointed about the war, and refusing to participate in it.

This leads me to believe that Dalaran is neutral.

Night elf high born in suramar is not alliance leaning.

Khadgar played no role with the arcandor.

Dalaran was neutral during legion and bfa as part of a deal with khadgar joining the Korina tor.

This is an unknown due to the fact we only see what happened during the war in the bda zones we play in.

With the sole exception of Seifert of orgrimmar the 2nd, and we only see vereesa with alleria.

Not affiliated with alliance NE.

The time the nightborne with the mass of either faction was before their first charge into suramar…

What? No they do not, the closest we get is fighting a common enemy but that is not true nuatrallity.

Humans played no role with charging suramar other then to prevent the elves from in fighting. The npc’s even comments on this.

dalaran had been neutral since khadgar joined the korin tor as a prerequisite.

It is the literal reason why Jiana left the Korina tor

That was Blizzards way of shelfing.

Let’s say Dalaran WERE involved in BfA, would you see a bunch of humans and high elves prancing around both Boralus and Dazaralor making sense? I don’t think so.
This is the same for most races, it just so happens that alliance are almost always the neutral ones as seen with Dalaran, Shat, the draenei spaceship (dont remember what it’s called) during common theats.

Which is why I use the term “alliance-leaning” a lot, because technically there are no strictly Alliance races since they often tend to be neutral, welcoming horde in their cities, etc. That doesn’t mean they’re equally buddbudds with the horde.

even if dalaran was in bfa, it would have little role in it due to khadgar’s neutrality.

Stormwind is Alliance, Dalaran is neutral. They’re both humans, but different groups of humans.

Also, Valewalker Farodin is literally one guy. Just because he’s a night elf doesn’t automatically make him Alliance.

Exactly, which is why I said there are not strict alliance races when it comes to the larger picture.
Valewalker Farodin was among the several night elves in shal’aran (as I’ve mentionned above), you can even google shal’aran and there’s a couple of night elf npcs there with the nightborne, all alliance leaning races.

Dalaran is an alliance nation that went neutral for the sake of fighting off major threats, this applies to pretty much all of the alliance races whom Blizzard makes their hubs neutral to fight off larger threats.
Like I said, would dalaran humans prancing around dazaralor make sense to you compared to them being in boralus? I don’t think so.
Do you think the “neutral” night elves would prance around dazaralor during bfa? I don’t think so.

Narratively it would make sense for all of these neutral alliance-leaning factions/races/nations to join the alliance effort to stop Sylvanas from murdering everyone, but Blizzard obviously doesn’t do so because that would be op lol. So they get shelfed

Valeera is neutral. That doesn’t make blood elves neutral.

And yes, she is seen “prancing around Stormwind”.

Valeera has been loyal to the alliance until Varian’s death, so it makes sense for her to be in SW, and was mia as Anduin’s messenger until 8.3, surprise…when we fight a common cause.

And using your logic, that would make blood elves neutral yes.

Huh?

It was your logic to say a whole race was neutral because some of their members were, not mine.

I mean the blood elves sent a full division of blood knights.

(Which would be 2-6 times larger than say, 7th Legion)

You’re comparing 1 lady, who’s been alliance from the start, to an entire nation of night elves or humans.
Claiming they would be neutral despite the circumstances in BfA, they were shelfed.
It’s not realistic to claim that these “neutral” humans and night elves would be prancing around Dazar’alor despite Sylvanas trying to erase them because theyre “Neutralll”
I’m not sure what else to say, they were shelfed.

She still acts as a double agent you know… she is seen in boralas…

What nation of night elves? It was Valewalker Farodin.

Also, Valeera isn’t Alliance. She’s neutral. She had personal loyalty to Varian and his family, but not to the Alliance as an organization.

I am aware of this, she dooesnt doanything useful other than act as a messenger for baine/anduin though, until 8.3 where we fight a common cause.

She’s been fighting strictly alongside the alliance pre-bfa too.

I think you are over looking the fact she only acts in the interest of the Wrynn’s and not for the alliance as a whole.

Pre-Legion. She was involved in the rogue stuff.

Prior to Legion Varian was still alive.
