The purpose of this thread is to focus the current request for High Elves. While there are other groups of High Elves, the Quel’danil elves and the Elves of Allerian Hold being the other two major groups.
In an interview Ion Hazzikostas stated that they weren’t particularly sure who the High Elves are.
This makes the Silver Covenant an ideal request because they are already an established faction, with a reputation stat and presumably a mission statement. They’ve represented the Alliance in Suramar.
They already have a Leader so there is no reason to generate a leadership character
They already have a tabard,
They already have a cast of characters, such as Rulen Lightsreap who has been in multiple locations and serves as Paladin inspiration:
Also represented - Hunters
This bizarre Warlock Trainer -
this rogue trainer
this warrior trainer
This Priest Trainer:
and while there is oddly no specific mage trainer, they make up the majority of the ranks, one with a good outfit is:
As you can see from the assembled characters, these elves also have a set look which will be ideal in creating a racial armor set.
As for the location of the faction, they’ve inhabited the Silver Enclave in Dalaran, Trueshot Lodge and been around the Isle of Thunder and Suramar. Additionally, other Allied Races have had locations created for them, such as the Void Elves or Mag’har orcs.
I think it’s important to narrow the request for High Elves, as previous Allied Races were specific requests for characters seen in game. The current request for quel’dorei is nebulous and leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
As such I think requesting the Silver Covenant specifically is much more useful for players that have been requesting High Elves to get the characters they desire.
