Hey, look a new Undead Elf character ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ Hope he is relevant in the story at some point!

DID YOU NAME YOURSELF THAT JUST TO POST THIS! Hahaha....

Also, something to take a look at: https://imgur.com/a/pvki3TQ

Same blood orbs as our neophytes. This could mean something good!

Heh, no I made the toon a couple months ago.

Blood Golem confirmed Allied Race.

Seems like a very similar spread to the one they had on WoD. Nice to see the Farstriders doing something lol.

And yay Lorash! does this mean that Sylvanas has permission from Lor to resurrect his troops, is she letting BE sign Do Resuscitate orders, or is she just screweing over Lor?

Exciting possibilities!

This most likely. He sounded very... upset at the idea of her raising his people during siege.

Ya know, you would think the horde races would be over it by now. Forsaken raise people. Big whoop. They also help fight world ending forces! Yet everyone is anti forsaken, just because they developed the "plague" and "experimented" on the living.

Lor'themar should be grateful, without those forsaken he would not be sitting so peachy keen in silvermoon. He would be fighting off invading alliance!

I think they have been using these blood globes for a while now, imo a bloodmage new class would be awesome. Summon blood animas!

I feel pretty confident in saying that Lorash was probably for this so what Lor'themar thinks of it doesn't matter. He was a vicious merc, he might be more comfortable in his seething contempt than most.

This is something I do wonder why hasn't been explored. Why don't we see Horde races opting in for immortality under Sylvanas?

The Cult of the Damned was founded by just the offer of eternal life amongst humans, immortality has always been goal to some, and it's weird that we don't see this explored when Sylvanas herself has the power to make the same offer, specially to races like the Blood Elves.

A very cursed existence indeed, but it's weird we don't see BE that, well, worship Sylvanas. Lorash is like the first one that could be so, and I do wonder about the possibility of Sylvanas offering her gift to any Blood Elves who might fear falling on the field.
Well I see the Blood Elves are sticking to a theme...

Also, why are they still using fel crystals?

Because fel crystals are super rad.

cus they gotta look evil and mean for the incursion
Also might be a good reason to show why some Blood Elves still have green eyes.

That is a very good point. In what universe would my warlock be running around with Golden eyes when he still uses fel magic?

Oh, Lorash is back?

Wait. Isn't Nazmir Horde territory? How is there a Blood Elf incursion?

The state of Zandalar is much worse than the state of Kul Tiras. All three Kul Tiran zones are ruled by noble houses that pledge allegiance to the Proudmoore Admiralty.

Zandalar is different. Vol'dun has fallen to the imperial designs of the Sethrak and Nazmir was lost to the Blood Trolls years ago. There still isn't any kind of government established in Nazmir that represents Zandalari interests, which is why the only reputation you can gain in the zone is with Talanji's expedition.

Presumably, even after the events of Uldir, the Blood Trolls still aren't loosening their grip on the area.

I thought this was going to be like invasions where except instead of demons you fight Npcs of the opposite faction (each side in their own Islands), but then I would also guess that a Blood Elf incursion would be for Alliance players.
So maybe Horde's playable incursions will be in Kul Tiras? I don't know

Anyway, nice to see some undead BEs, Hopefully that means more San'layn stories (that horde player can actually see even)

Oh that's what you meant.

Well, I assume that when an incursion happens, there will still be stuff for the "defending" faction to do, considering the whole zone has to be phased anyway. Those blood elves may very well just be targets of an Alliance WQ.

Well I figured with the Sunwell back they would not need them anymore.

But there's nothing in lore that I can recall that says they stopped using them.

Maybe Blood Elves have not become as Toothless as I thought after the Sunwell restoration.

Yeah I thought it was going to be that way too, to be honest. I guess not, I hope I can still level alts with these methods. Also yeah I have no idea to be honest.

DRAGONS?! Oh sorry you said Toothless and I -- *ahem* nevermind. ANYWAY, yeah Blood Elves still are vicious I assume. And hopefully... we'll have vampyr to join our ranks too.

People often forget that the San'layn were Silvermoon city loyalists--they were fighting for their people and their city. Kael's chosen. I'm pretty sure that if they have their wills back (and they would, being intelligent undead) they would likely still want to take upon that task.
Hopefully, we'll get confirmation at Blizz Con! Ol' Undead Lorash looks badass! Did you notice that Lorash is the first male elf dark ranger that uses the red eyes? The others in this expac had green skin and blue eyes. This is the first male undead elf model with the pallid skin and red eyes if that counts for anything.

Yeah that's a very good point. They look like kinda organgish eyes, not a true red--perhaps wowhead does not have the proper glow? Something interesting is that he had those eyes but not the Blood Marquis from the Alliance campaign. Perhaps now they're working on model updates, and we have even more of a chance for San'layn. Reasonably speaking, them as a race would make more sense than Dark Rangers (which would be a class). This way someone could still play a Dark Ranger hunter by rolling a San'layn due to it being a similar look and concept.

Granted, our proposed modifications and ideas would make them look more bat-like and distinct from dark rangers, but... so
