I mean, that’s how we got Draenei on the first place.
The limits of the lore are ever changing. As long as it is cool ideas being well implemented, it’s a good thing.

Those abilities do shadow damage, they are based in death magic though. We don’t have a “death” damage type yet unfortunately.
Look, if it can’t heal other players, if it can’t equip a shield and throw it like Captain America, and if it doesn’t drop a hammer on someone’s head to stun them, it isn’t a Paladin. Capisce?
Mechanically speaking a Death Knight and Paladin are different classes. I can already play a Death Knight. A Death Knight is not a Paladin, regardless of the damage type it uses.
And if it doesn’t wield Light, it’s not a Paladin either. Got it?
With Void Elves getting choices to return to a more Blood Elf / High Elf look, I’m on the side that just says. “Screw it, rename void elves to High Elves and let the void choice be something shy of a secondary race choice.”
Void Elves were dead on arrival based on story. Where they would’ve been strongest when N’zoth’s influence rose. They were completely absent, just like the Lightforged Draenei. These themes of void and light would’ve shined strongest but were entirely absent.
Void Elves offer nothing innately unique. Their story is… lacking. They are better off being changed to High Elves to at least fit with the high volumes of lore for them rather than the abyss of endless disappointment that void elves will inevitably bring.
Fine. If you want to be pedantic, I’ll try to accommodate you. Try this then.
What I was proposing is a new class, mechanically identical and visually identical to the Paladin in every way except that it does shadow damage instead of holy and its visual effects are the blue/black color we see npc void spells use in game. We’ll call it a Riftblade. Is that better for you? 
But the first part I quoted does seem applicable on every situation though, or did I misunderstood it?
Sorry English is not my first language so if I’m wrong please correct me.
Most players seem to think “lore” is only valid when it tells other people they can’t do what they want, and anything that would give people new options “ruins” it because it no longer lets them stomp around the high ground telling people what ways they’re allowed to have fun.
So the real question is, Gnome Paladins when?

Totally agree bro, I’ve been wanting to play a worgen DH for a long time now.
Blood Elves don’t deserve Druids and Nightborne don’t deserve model updates.
I was really hoping that Mechagnomes would have access to Paladin or Mecha-Druids. Gnomes would totally work for Paladins too!

The thing I’ve noticed about Void Elves is they never seem to be satisfied with what they get.

Silvermoon is already a ripoff of Silverymoon from the AD&D lore. It’s not even original!

Transformer druids could be fun, let them pollute the Emerald Dream and turn it into an industrial area! But they probably has to find a way to kill those wild gods in Ardenweald first though, or maybe mechanized them?

They want what they want, and everything else doesn’t matter.

“They can bend the lore backwards and break it in half for me, but if someone else wants a little elbow room, they’re breaking my immersion!”
They are the most popular AR in the game. No one cares about the story clearly.
Silverymoon isn’t even comparable to Silvermoon dude. They are completely different in terms of appearance.
I speak more on terms of what they were meant to be, not what they ended up becoming.
Which simply doesn’t matter dude.
The only people complaining about lore, are the people who wanted high elves. Everywhere else? Void elves have been an intense success. If you’re a pretty elf, people want to play it.
They are twice as popular as Zandalari were, and if it wasn’t for allied race requirements, they’d probably be the 3rd most popular race for Alliance.
Heck, they probably will surpass night elves just because they can be pale OR blue.
