âWhat we showed at the end of Burning Crusade, like during the whole Sunwell event, was that the warped naaru Mâuru was kinda transformed back into his purest self, purest light that Velen used to reignite the Sunwell, as a fountain of Holy power, as much as it is arcane.â
âIn the wake of Kilâjaedenâs defeat, the draenei prophet Velen purified the Sunwell with the Light-infused heart of a fallen naaru, transforming the fount into a source of both holy and arcane energies.â
Itâs also stated in âThe ART of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich Kingâ, but that I canât quote.
there isnt âsome amount of arcaneâ its arcane as much as it is holy. thats literally from metzen himself as midare mentioned
the green glint was always temporary and tied thematically to TBC and golden eyes proved their eye color can change. the video doesnt disprove anything, danuser just says in the name of player choice they gave all classes access to golden eyes while the lore reason IS only priests/paladins with a strong devotion to the light will manifest golden eyes from the holy part of the sunwell. likewise, mages with a strong devotion could very well manifest blue eyes from the arcane part of the sunwell. even the generic blood elf citizen should be back to blue at this point as they all use arcane in some capacity in their everyday lives
getting excited over the literal scraps of a race is odd when you have the actual civilization as a playable option. alliance high elves arent happening fyor, blue eyes i see happening though. if you limit yourself to faction then the closest you will get to being a blood elf on the alliance is an inky blot on the screen
I like dwarves, all kinds, DiD are the only alliance AR I like on any level but I am looking forward to wildhammer customization. I love night elves, high elves, and blood elves.
Edit: Oh and Nightborne. Horde side I only have belfs, nightborne, and trolls.
There isnât any reading between the lines, his statements were in direct contradiction to yours; you stated that the only individuals who would develop golden eyes would be Paladins and Priests, Danuser intoned that this is patently false.
I donât know what to tell you, read your own citations more closely?
An individual isnât required to be attuned to the Light in order to utilize it, if said Light is being channeled through an external source, such as the Sunwell, as evidenced by the fact that non-Priests and non-Paladins are presenting with golden eyes. Again, read your own citations.
Why would I feel defensive, after you directly contradicted yourself with your own citation? Youâre the best player on my team, at this point.
This was a jest. It may well be that blue eyes are on their way for BEâs, but this isnât a citation that is indicative of it being a fact.
We donât have confirmation that the Sunwell has Arcane in it that is swirling around independently from the Light, like yin and yang; instead, what we have confirmation of is that in re-igniting the Sunwell, both Arcane and the Light were utilized.
This means that if we presume the composition of the Sunwell to be ~50% Light-based and 50% Arcane-based, when any individual draws upon the energy of the Sunwell theyâre getting approximately ~50% Light and ~50% Arcane â this regardless of their own particular specializations (i.e. a Priest, drawing from the Sunwell, is also employing the use of the Arcane; a Mage, drawing from the Sunwell, is also employing the use of the Light).
As weâve yet to have any confirmed instances of a Blood Elf shifting from green to blue, or gold to blue, it is currently not a matter of fact that the Sunwell can actually serve as a catalyst for blue-eyed Blood Elves.
(And, do note, that it is also entirely plausible that the Sunwell is ~51% Light and ~49% Arcane. In which case, itâs extremely unlikely that blue-eyed Blood Elves would ever present.)
Youâve seen Blood Elves, in-game, that look like this?
Itâs cited in Chronicles. So itâs accurate that Alliance and Velen aided Horde and the Silvermoon to purify Sunwell once more.
It was also later shown that Alleria unintentionally opened the void gate in Sunwell when she touched it. Due to this, Alleria and Alliance Farstriders were banished and no longer welcomed back in Silvermoon again.
My long dream of having DiD on Horde is gone and it will never be a thing sigh
No, I didnât. But you know? I could have, because who are the ones that usually are devoted to the Light? Warriors? Rogues? Warlocks? And guess what happens to those devoted to the Light? They are in harmony with it, they are acclimated to it and are receptive and aware⊠attuned.
I do find funny that at least you quoted me the first time, but the second you just decided to not even paraphrase me, you simply added in things I didnât even say.
You realize youâre trying to headcannon percentages for a fount of magical energy⊠all because you refuse to accept that both word from the devs and the canon lore supports the eye color of a race.
What matters is what itâs been repeated by Metzen and used in the official sources: âAs a fountain of Holy power, as much as it is arcaneâ
Donât hurt your arm with that reach, please.
They look like blood elves that are sleep deprived and slipped into a pool of paint and yet, at the same time, they look like void elves wearing immese amounts of make up to try to âgo back to normalâ, itâs strange.
Yes, thatâs why the Void elves were vanished, but Iâm not sure how this fits with the current argument about the energies in the Sunwell.

You just told Fyorsing not to reach with the distribution of magic in the Sunwell, but all the evidence so far is pretty compelling.
Letâs reexamine what you stated, for the third time â emphasis added:
Letâs reexamine what Danuser said, for the third time â emphasis added:
Priests & paladins are more likely to have them, but others can if it makes sense.
His statement directly contradicts yours.
If your position is so fragile and baseless that even suggesting that the Light and the Arcane within the Sunwell are found in equal parts offends, it speaks to how little evidence there actually is for blue-eyed Blood Elves becoming a thing.
Which isnât to say it wonât happen, because as you say, it does seem like a natural choice for customization direction â but to suggest it is guaranteed as a matter of fact, corroborated by existing lore, is simply a lie.
That makes blue-eyed Blood Elves plausible, as a matter of speculation about their future, not an eventuality as a matter of fact.
I didnât realize youâve known what the exact composition of the Sunwell was this entire time. Would you be so kind as to enlighten the rest of us with your knowledge?
An interesting way of not answering the question, here, let me repeat it for you:
Youâve seen Blood Elves, in-game, that look like this?
The Sunwell was built on Leylines, so there is arcane magic there⊠additionally Anveena was a character that had some of the power of the Sunwell in her. However, it says that Mâuru purifies that power⊠soooo⊠theoreteically it could have been a lot of arcane power from the Sunwell. But âPurifiedâ spins that too. So itâs really hard to tell.
However, if youâve been to the Sunwell⊠its color makes the power in it pretty obvious.
There has no been evidence of this happening anywhere outside of that page, though.
Also, you sure thatâs the road they should take? Were will the âmoral groundâ of the traitors be, then?
What evidence? Thereâs no way to meassure that, itâs a fountain of magic, all we have as âmeassurementâ is the word of Metzen saying that is as much Holy light as it is arcane.
letâs see how you read through linesâŠ
attune
verb
past tense: attuned ; past participle: attuned
make receptive or aware.
âa society more attuned to consumerism than ideologyâ
accustom or acclimatize.
Now, letâs see⊠do devout people or not devout people become attuned to the Light?
Fragile? Youâre the one trying to use percentages for a fictional fount of magic
And youâre the one refusing to accept the words âas holy light, as much as it is arcaneâ right from the guy that made the story.
No, thatâs just you wishing real hard.
They fought for the purification of the Sunwell, they earned it and like it or not, itâs the logical outcome of what theyâve been through.
As I said, itâs impossible. Iâll simply stick to Metzenâs words.
Since it seems the point went right over your head, I guess Iâll be clearer. They might not look exactly like blood elves, but it makes them look even more similar than without the blueish/purplish skin.
I need to go make myself productive but Iâll give you kudos for not trying to (futilely) turn the gameplay argument on me. But then, it wouldnât have worked, because blue eyes doesnât interfere with any relevant playable race.
How have I refused this notion, when I specifically discussed the Sunwell as equally 50% Light-based and 50% Arcane-based?
So, then, youâre asserting that it is corroborated by existing lore that a Blood Elf can experience his/her eye color changing from green/gold to blue â Iâll patiently wait while you provide an example of it happening.
Thatâs an interesting opinion, but itâs hard a fact.
âŠand this affects you, or Blood Elves, precisely how?
There is obvious an equal enough mix of Light and Arcane energy in the Sunwell to support a decision granting Blue Eyes, while there is also enough Light to support Golden Eyes. Itâs all sufficiently clear about thisâŠwhile being fuzzy enoughâŠto allow Blizzard to go whichever way they choose without being overly vulnerable to âBut my Lore!â attacks.
Unless yâall are just bored, in which case; carry on.
