Forsaken, the OG allies of the High elves, yo!
I disagree. I like the Blood Elf faction.
I like their crazy post PTSD Arthas invasion phase.
But I also like their new redeemed by the light, maybe a bit too much phase.
If, âDoing Bad Thingsâ like the oddities of the formation of the Blood Knights means youâre not allowed faction pride then no faction should be able to have pride.
Sinâdorei are a cool faction. I miss the Blood Mage stuff, but I like them and I like the direction theyâre going.

I quite liked how the Blood Knights were formed. Gave them a bit of flair, until well⊠you knowâŠ

Haha. Letâs not pretend like a trolls first reaction when being caught isnât to pretend like theyâre being sincere. Thatâs been a thing since prank phone calls.
I like debate. Have honest conversations with me. The Faux outrage is pointless. As is pretending like Iâm saying something outrageous when Iâm having a discussion. As are the ad-hominem attacks.
I think itâs entertaining.

Yeah. They basically built the Blood Elves into something new and different and then retconned all of it.
I think itâs the source of a lot of problems and makes them less interesting. Hence my comment about the Blood Mages. Etc.
It wouldnât be as bad if theyâd spend some time developing them. But they just havenât. Blood Elf lore is pretty nebulous and has practically stopped since BC.
A shame Liadrinâs bit got cut in Warlords, because it probably would have been the most compelling advancement.

I strongly disagree. I felt theyâve had a strong presence and progression thruout the story so far way past BC.

How could have they change factions when the kingdom of Quelâthalas was not aligned with anyone at the time? They became factionless after the end of the second war.
Are the Sinâdorei in the Alliance or Horde are the Quelâdorei allied with Alliance or horde, simple
He did, not me. And in any case, it still doesnât change the fact that Sinâdorei are simply Quelâdorei that honor their fallen.
Donât think mentioned you, but there are plenty of post by the community besides IONâs great wisdom and input about looks making a difference. For the record I think Ion been totally wrong on this matter. People who read lore and play the game and care, sit there scratching their heads when renâdorei show up and Alliance Quelâdorei are sitting there in game being ignored. imho
So they donât honor their fallen and they didnât help the majority of their people.
Who cares it dont negate the fact they are still in and allied with the Allaince depending on group and unplayable.

And why do you think they are unplayable?

Theyâre definitely present. But I feel like the only thing thatâs done has been to make it well known that the Blood Knights are their primary force. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that their splinter factions arenât the Blood Elf whole.
Like, The Sunreavers are part of the Sindorei, but theyâre not the Sindorei.
So I wish theyâd focus on them in the story more. Lorâthemar has been pretty prominent in BFA, but it hasnât done anything for the Blood Elves either. We just know heâs still a nice guy and that he didnât like Sylvanas, but he didnât do anything about it either.

Why on earth are you doubling down on the assumptions my dude? Why?
Then could start doign that yourself. Iâm simply responding in kind.
But Iâll humor you, again. Letâs go back up to where everything started, shall we?
I asked:
And your reply was:
A maybe. It wasnât a âno, theyâre not fakeâ. It was a big, fat, maybe.
Did you downright say it? No, of course you didnât, you used a vague statement on purpose because you couldnât deny it and yet, maybe (yes, maybe) deep inside, you do feel theyâre âfake Alliance playersâ, if not, you would have said so.
So, maybe, try to actually not use dishonest arguments for once and then maybe I wonât simply banter.
The kingdom that seceeded was the High elven kingdom of Quelâtahalas, they were very much factionless.
A handful of leftovers in Alliance cities does not contitute as the entire race being part of a faction.
I disagree with him in many aspects, but not on this one. Weâll have to agree to disagree (you and me, that is) in this one.
Iâm not sure why youâre bringing Void elves into thisâŠ
And that still doesnât change the fact that blood elves are indeed Quelâdorei that just honor their fallen.

Can you play a High vale, Silver covenant, High Elf Wayfarer as or any of the the Quelâdorei that are with Alliance forces or in Alliance cities and strongholds throughout the game and lore a Alliance player,

Well, he did team up with Jaina and strike an accord with the Alliance, which in part lead to a joint rebel and Alliance force showig up at the gates in Orgrimar.
The whole character focused story telling is problematic because it fails to advance the parts of the game world central to the playerâs identity in the game world.
I agree.
BFA lets me know that Lorâthemar is the same guy. But it doesnât tell me anything more about Blood Elves other than theyâre doing really strange stuff in Nazmir.
Iâd personally like a lot more explanation for that.

Nice job adding opinion instead of fact, no matter what is said, Quelâdorei is Allied with Alliance and Sindorei are Allied with horde. Nothing more needs to be added thats how the game & lore sits now, Blue eyes and fair skin and blonde dont change that fact.

What opinions did I add exactly?
Let people decide, not going to side track off the main topic.

Nothing is really explained. Horde players cant see them.
There was more after that quote and I quantified it.
Because the answer is: maybe.
Is it a player with a level 20 Alliance Alt that doesnât really play Alliance? Maybe.
Is it one of the outlier Alliance players that is for some reason against them having High Elves, for instance, Murgatroid: Maybe.
If you want a less vague answer then youâd have to ask a question with a less nuanced answer.
