Void Elves participated a number of times in the War Campaign, but it was also the expac that introduced them (sorta since they came out in a Legion patch, but themeatically Allied Races were a big BfA thing). In Shadowlands they did nothing. And in Dragonflight both Void and High Elves are also so far, doing nothing.
What kind of options do you think they should get?
I feel like Light and Void customizations will remain locked to blood and void elves respectively, but given both races are led by Farstriders and Magisters, Iâm sure any options themed around those âclassesâ (tattoos, hairstyles, whatever) will wind up cross-faction. BEs already have a cute Elsa braid but itâs certainly not as stylized as Alleriaâs.
They could give both races tattoos, VE would be blues and purples and BE would be reds and yellows? More braided hair options and maybe some feathers for Farstriders?
New hairstyles are popular (and while at it, why are only humans getting the new colors theyâre working on?) big visual distinction things like scars and tattoos are a popular request. Iâd have to look over but thereâs been some threads belf players have made about things they want.
That would be cool. I actually canât remember if the blood elf ranger units used tats in WC3, and none of the Farstriders in Hearthstoneâs new blood elf expansion are tatted up, so Iâd not feel too bad if the void elves monopolized that. Slightly expanded Darkfallen customizations or Rommath-esque ârunicâ tattoos would be agreeable with me too. Red/gold tats opposite blues/purples are a tantalizing prospect though.
Because its being neutral is basically a combination of a wartime advent and a political reaction to the elves joining the Horde. Dalaran is still styled as the Alliance nation itâs historically been, frontlined by Alliance icons like Khadgar and Jaina even as they vote on whether to tolerate Horde presence.
Dalaran was never a solid member of the Alliance. If you read the first Rhonin novel,itâs mages were met with general distrust, Rhonin doubly so because the Kirin Tor had thrown him out.
Yes. Rhonin, Khadgar, their council, Aethas, and Jaina have all extolled Dalaranâs neutrality at one point or another. To quote a rather blunt Archmage Modera when pressed on the topic in ToW: âDalaran is neutral.â
It wasnât officially committed to the Alliance until MoP. Iâd rather it had stayed there, and Silvermoon been presented as its magical counterpart like 5.2 teased, but I guess milking Wrath nostalgia prevailed in the ideas room.
Jaina certainly did. She declared that Dalaran had a higher calling than âHordeâ or âAllianceâ and that faction squabbles had no place in her city. And hardly an expansion after Jaina abandoned that neutrality, her council outvoted her to invite the Horde right back in. Horde and Alliance (as well as Silver Covenant and Sunreavers) are back to sharing the city as of Legion.
The Horde rebels also fought alongside the Alliance at the gates of Orgrimmar in BFA.
That specifically was cited as a âbattle for Azerothâ where Dalarans neutrality isnât in question. The SC representing Dalarans interests w a joint coalition of forces for Azeroth doesnât compromise that neutrality unless one is also arguing the Horde rebels were also representing the Alliance in the same scenario, how odd but not unsurprising from whose making that argument.
