Night Elves: "The first race to awaken"

You're right, and you'll find I never said that. What I said was the elves are intellectually superior to trolls, in this case that means greater mental acuity, accuracy of recall, and the ability to reason. The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.


That's just speculation too, though. The quote says nothing of memory or ability to apply knowledge, and there is frankly absolutely nothing in the lore we've seen that suggests elves learn faster or can apply knowledge better than trolls.

If anything elves seem to gain new skills far slower, as even with thousands of years of experience and practice they can be bested in magic by the likes of humans, who are not depicted nor have statements declaring them smarter than trolls.
