I’m unsure if I can just URL them directly, and if I just quote them, they’ll be larger than elephants forming a human pyramid on their hind legs. I don’t want to take away from this thread. I’m sure I annoy others by mentioning Ogres a lot, anyway. ^^;

I’m not much of a role player mostly because it takes a lot of time for me to think on a scenario, type it out, examine it, and change it as needed. It’s hard for me to write things on the spot in a timely manner, and I wouldn’t want to keep others waiting on me.

Doing even light role-play as an Ogre is immensely fun. Typing out in broken English and just liking to smash stuff is a bit more involved and fun than you would think. A lot of that comes from when I played Everquest 1 with my Ogre Berserker and my Troll Beastlord, who this character I am on is based on.

Elfie want learn bout Ogres? Ok, ok, dis be how ta Ogre. First, Ogre dip-low-ma-see. We Ogres learn dis very important lesson by taking dis giant club. Den, and dis be important part, take dah sharpest un pointy spike yoo can find, den hamma spike into bashin’ club. Dat Ogre dip-low-ma-see!

One of my Blood Elves is a Monk that shunned the academics and she just learned how to punch stuff. My Blood Elf Mage is more typical, and she is good friends with the Monk despite there being a contrast between them.

This gets even between when you factor in Forsaken Flight Masters.

Me: Quickly, to Silverpine! tosses gold and jumps on the bat

San’layn: WHAT THE-

Forsaken FM: Huh, knew I was counting one extra.

tbf, i dont remember this line. even if it was said, which i dont believe it was, they would clearly be referring to the current san’layn presence in zandalar and not the san’layn as a species at large :smile:

Yeah there’s a little link symbol that would directly lead to the post you’re wanting to show ^^ like the post itself. Not just the topic. Also I’m sure we all appreciate your enthusiasm and aren’t sick of your talking about ogres so no worries at all! The exchange of ideas is important. I wish you were the OP of that megathread, it’s too bad I sincerely dislike that guy and therefore won’t contribute more.

Makes sense! Well if ever you change your mind, you definitely have the creative component for it :slight_smile:

Fall’s: giggles “That sounds awesome! Reminds me of my HACKIN AND SLASHIN with my axe. Too cool, too fun. You folk are great.”

Haha reminds me of my pally and DK friend pair. This toon is good friends with my grumpy belf pally.

Well, since it was requested, I’ll quick link a few and see if I can figure it out.

Ogre Allied Race Questline

Supplemental Allied Questline 1

Supplemental Allied 2

Ogre Contest Games

Ogre Full Race Pre-Expansion Event

New Race Supplemental 1

New Race Supplemental 2

Newbie Ogre Questline

I think I got all the important ones. I will admit, I feel a bit odd doing this as I don’t want to derail the thread with another race’s content, though. ^^;

That said, let’s get back to the San’layn! I’ve been having Dreven antagonizing Sylvanas in my scenario, but if he does that to her…then how would he address the Alliance?

Dreven: My my, if it isn’t the “daughter of the sea!” And such a fitting title, too, given how washed up you are!

Dreven: Did you know that he (Arthas) mentioned you from time to time? Oh yes, it seems that even as the Lich King, he still carried a torch for you somewhere in that dark abyss within him. I wonder if he’ll feel the same if Sylvanas got a hold of his body…I’m sure the reunion would go just as well as with your dear brother! Maybe your dragon-boy (Kalec) would love to be a part of that!

Oh the possibilities are going to be ever so much fun!

You need to accept they are gone or at the very least not becoming a playable race. Vulpera are far more likely for Horde.

2428

You do know vulpera are a completely different allied race slot, it isn’t a competition between the two lmao

So your answer is no, you have no source. Got it.

Also when did I ever imply that I don’t want Vulpera? It isn’t a competition. Vulpera are far more likely than anyone on the table right now and I do want them too. Almost as much as San’layn, actually.

We’re going to ask for the race we would like to see. Saying “you need to do this” or that isn’t going to stop us especially when there’s no proof of your claim and we’ve countered it quite a bit.

Sorry if you’ve answered this before. But is it implied that there are any sanlayn still alive after the alliance slaughtered them?

I fully support this thread. I would just find it kind of odd if more sanlayn just popped out of nowhere. (I mean we did get void elves after all)

You haven’t countered it at all. “Blood Prince Dreven is here, and the situation’s even worse than we thought. That monster’s training other San’layn. Every neophyte you see on this ship is another future Blood Prince Dreven. His vile practices cannot be allowed to spread within the Horde. We’re going to tear the San’layn out, right now, root and all.” You seem to forget this line from the quest. Also, there are less San’layn out there than even High Elves and you think they will become a playable race?

2432

I would suggest they have more likeliness. Seeing as they are part of the blood elf race. SImilar to dranei, tauren, orc and human allied races.

They are one of the most wanted races for horde…
Playing undead elves is just what our warchief is. Think about it we can’t play the race of our warchief? I think not.

As for timing. They will probably be released at the end of this expansion or the next or more. Why do I say this? Because they would need death knights as playable and they already said that heroclasses will not be available to allied races in BFA.

Yet again I’ve mentioned that and yet again nowhere was it said they’re all on the ship. This is also said via an Alliance character through an alliance line.

Nowhere was it said that there’s less than high elves either.

Where are you getting this at all…? Once again you’re twisting it into something it isn’t.

There are even less San’layn out there than High Elves though. It’s just not going to happen. I’m not actually against San’layn, like someone assumes. I think they are very cool but I don’t cling to it after that questline.

2435

Source where there’s less than high elves…? Because that’s a flat out assumption.

Yes I am sure that the san’layn put all their forces on one little boat on a war mission.
Seems very smart and logical… not

They aren’t extinct until it is officially stated

You aren’t exactly innocent of not twisting things either.

2438

They did if they were all that was left. I’m going to laugh when I’m proven right.

2439

I’ve done the questline. I know they only killed a ship of San’layn… Newsflash vampires don’t all stay in one ship on one mission on a one time event.
If you did the death knight frost weapon quest in Legion, there were plenty of San’layn in ICC… and you didn’t even go through all the areas. In legion we see a group of them on missions. That does not equate to the whole race. It would be like saying the undead are extinct cause you bombed a boat of theres…

Not to mention the nature of there existence, they may be brought back by the lich king. The blood curse also was given to the Vrykul in Stormheim, and others in other clans. They can also be manufactured. KJ made the lich king. The lich king made the San’layn. Those races can be made. Just like the Void elves were made by the meddling of an ethereal and there ritual going wrong… Imagine if the ritual went right. You might have gotten high elf looking void elves like Alleria >.>
