If I can summarize this 200 post thread?
Blizzard keeps teasing the Alliance by putting High Elf NPCs in their faction but refusing to give them that as playable race.
Either Blizzard had to remove the High Elves from Alliance content or make them actually playable.
Now you guys can go back to debating 90% 
Basically! Haha leave it to a gnome to sum up events in such a simple and concise manner.
Of course.
And for my next trick I will summarize the issue with the Nightborne.
Nightborne are like the crew of interstellar but instead of re-uniting with their surviving kin they decided to join the evolved monkeys because their surviving kin are now vegans and don’t approve of their diet.
i love how a dev confirming blue eyed blood elves are a thing and there was a story for them and trolls still say there is nothing to imply ‘high elves’ are among the blood elves. and theres more blue eyed blood elf npcs then elves standing around in alliance cities. they really have nothing going for their fanfiction
hell theres nothing to imply the SC survived the legion invasion. vereesas alive but is the SC as an organization? who the hell knows. could have accompanied the farstriders back to quel’thalas or found a better purpose then moping around dalaran all day and just stayed with the unseen path
Blood Elves are biologically High Elves and you don’t realize that since the Sunwell was cleansed in BC that new Blood Elves are now growing up without fel corruption so blue eyes are the natural state for the Thalassians.
If you want to believe these are High Elves being repatriated without any proof. Go right ahead. Smh, but lore wise these are just Blood Elves who are cleansed from their fel corruption. It’s the same with their eyes glowing golden, that’s the influence of the Sunwell on Light worshipping elves.
oh you got a citation for that?
Velen at the end of TBC’s last raid.
where does velen say anything about blue eyes
its just so funny seeing you guys finally accept that position
i remember these threads. when blue eyes for blood elves was for datamined
I direct you to what you quoted and asked about,
im proud of you for finally accepting blue eyes are a blood elf thing
still waiting for a citation that lore wise blue eyes are specifically just blood elves cleansed or never exposed to taint and not from a dalaran elf going back home after studying magic
I wish I could say that I was proud of you, but I think you don’t know what you’re arguing about as a keypoint, which is why you’re drifting from topic to topic. Blue eyes are a blood elf thing, but your post wasn’t about blue eyes. It was about blood elves being cleansed of fel corruption.
i was just told blue eyes for blood elves specifically meant cleansed by the sunwell and not ‘high elves’ simply coming back and asked for their source. then you simply said ‘velen’

will you let me know if you find a source that says blue eye customization for blood elves lore wise specifically means an affinity for the arcane after being cleansed and not from a dalaran ‘high elf’ who learned everything he can and decided to go back home to quel’thalas
No, because that very specific source does not exist.

Nope, those not living in Quel’Thalas were included, otherwise the Allerian Stronghold elves wouldn’t also be treated as exiles who can’t visit aside from pilgrimages to the Sunwell.
Vereesa makes a brief appearance in the War of the Ancients trilogy, set after the events of Warcraft III. According to those novels, she didn’t give birth until after Quel’Thalas fell to the Scourge, and she and Rhonin stopped trying to help with any efforts to rebuild the Alliance and settled near Dalaran when they realized she was pregnant. At some point before Wrath they moved to Dalaran when Rhonin became leader of the Kirin Tor, and Vereesa founded the Silver Covenant. Vereesa also had to hunt down her cousin Zendarin after he tried to kidnap the twins from Dalaran, also before Wrath. There’s plenty of material to suggest that she never lived in Quel’Thalas again after the Scourge attack, and nothing concrete I can find to suggest that she did.
That would make sense if she hadn’t tried to shoot Rommath multiple times around the same time period. She’s also shown that she’s more then willing to let Lor’themar know her opinion of him to his face.
This particular scenario is unlikely, as Lanesh appeared again, complete with blue eyes, in Legion with the Sin’dorei forces outside Suramar. I agree that he’s not really evidence of any particular narrative since we don’t know his personal story, though.
Why does population even matter? The Pandarens are at best one school with maybe some reinforcements from Mainland Pandaria joining each faction. The void elves of all people are just some researchers, if population was ever a factor it should have been them that were not made playable and high elves outnumbering them.
It doesn’t. Even the Darkspears are described as bordering on extinct.
