Don’t get me wrong here, I very much like the Dark rangers, and while Sylvanas made some mistakes, I still continue to like her character as I did since Warcraft 3.
My only argument is whether Dark rangers should be under Forsaken, or Blood elf, or maybe even their own thing. I am simply against them being listed as Blood elves because I don’t think that the blood elves as a whole would receive/accept them.
I’m still in love with the Troll tease we saw at Blizzcon. Never considered making a troll until I saw those Sand colored Trolls with warpaint everywhere
The Elves very much show that they identify not just as Forsaken but still together / apart. There is no indication BE’s wouldn’t accept them, as the Dark Rangers in Orgrimmar are also allowed to stay for the Horde, why would a member of the Horde not be accepted by another member when has that ever been the case in gameplay or lore in WoWs life? Void Elves you wouldn’t have guess would be on the light loving faction yet there they are.
It is a much desired request among BE fans, and I just feel its mean spirited to gate keep that. We have HE fans out here arguing for VE paladins and the like, let BE fans have a win.
Dude…its still in the TBC era.
There is nothing to suggest that the blood elves have anything against blood elf DK’s. If anything, we work with them rather frequently. Sylvanas is an undead and is honored by the blood elves as well.
I think there is a case to be made for them joining alliance too via lore. The Shen’drelar joined the Night Elves and they were their peers/colleagues before the destruction of the well of eternity.
More importantly, I think they need another race on horde side that had similar ideals with the Blood Elves as they are pretty out of place as a “magical” race. Hence this is the final result is Tyrande snubbing them (but not the Shen’dralar)
What I want to know is what ever happened to the Moon Guard. Did they join the Night Elves or the Nightborne?
I’m very much on the side of Blood elves and Horde here, that’s primarily what I DO want. It’s probably even the main reason I’m posting in this topic. Of course if many want Dark rangers to be added under BE, and if Blizzard decided it fits within the story, then who am I to “gatekeep” anything? Again, I do like fallen Farstrider Dark Rangers, this never changed.
None, and it makes sense for him to be against it since it would be a reminder of what Arthas had done.
Heck, it was what the Ebon blade loathed Arthas for doing.
But once Sylvanas becomes Warchief. Lor’themar doubts all his people would side with him against her. I think the duration of her time as Warchief would be the point in time she had the chance to raise any BE she wished, and it would be hard to argue that because of SoO in MOP Lor’themar would be able to stop her? His own people he doubted would side against Sylvanas at different times and it’s clear not all sided with him against her. So that taken into consideration I think it’s safe to say she would have raised any loyal champion she wanted. Especially BEs if anything her own narcissism lends credibility to the argument she shows favoritism to them and Forsaken during her tenure as Warchief.
