The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

[Renotarshil-malganis (Renotarshil)]

Well then, if “High Elf” is the demonym utilized to refer to their biological species, and “Blood Elf” and “Void Elf” are merely cultural demonyms, then it should be easy for you to find an example of a Blood Elf or Void Elf who self-identifies as a High Elf.

There’s no need to do this as it’s public knowledge to anyone who understands how the race works.

You don’t suddenly stop being a High Elf biologically just because you decided to call yourself a Blood Elf.

C’mon, this is basic stuff. Stop being ignorant and move on. You’re embarrassing yourself again.

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

Hey, I’m not the one acting like if an American goes to study at Cambridge that they stop being an American.

No, but if an American joins the Russian Spetsnaz and assists in the collection and extermination of American citizens abroad – they stop being an American.

That’s called treason, and in 99.99% of the world being charged with treason automatically results in said individual losing their citizenship.

(Do note, Lor’themar refers to every Void Elf as “traitors”.)

[Sarallesta-shattered-hand]

• An individual isn’t required to remain loyal to their birthplace, solely because it is their birthplace.
• I’m sure you’ve got a source that suggests that every High Elf, everywhere, maintained their citizenship in Quel’thalas? Surely, you do.

So, what are you saying? That they abandoned there home to stop being High Elves?

If I left Australia and went to live in the USA, and applied for a US Citizenship, does that mean I stop being an Australian?

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

You don’t suddenly stop being a High Elf biologically just because you decided to call yourself a Blood Elf.

And, again, I didn’t mention any change of biology at all. #Strawman

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Yeah, but those elves aren’t good enough, are they?

[Renotarshil-malganis (Renotarshil)]

And, again, I didn’t mention any change of biology at all.

So Blood Elves and Void Elves and San’layn and Generic Undead High Elves are all High Elves too.

Glad you’re finally learning what this means.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Thalassian would also be their people… Quel’thalas. Thalassian. Of Quel’thalas.

I mean I get what both of you mean here but maybe hear him out.

We got three types of Thalassian elf.
High
Blood
Void
They’re all of Quel’thalas, they all speak Thalassian. They’re all Thalassian.
They’re not all blood
They’re not all void
They’re not all high (insert weed joke)

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

If I left Australia and went to live in the USA, and applied for a US Citizenship, does that mean I stop being an Australian?

If you left Australia and went to live in the USA, and applied for a US Citizenship, and then assisted in a government-sponsored internment and/or genocide of other Australians who are living/studying in the USA… at the minimum, insofar as the status of your citizenship is concerned, you most certainly stop being Australian.

Yeah, but those elves aren’t good enough, are they?

No idea what this means.

So Blood Elves and Void Elves and San’layn and Generic Undead High Elves are all High Elves too.

I presume you’ve got an in-universe source that would corroborate this? Also, remember, this is now attempt #6 at getting you to provide JUST ONE EXAMPLE of this being the reality of things in-universe.

You’d think that with it being common knowledge and all, you’d be able to find EVEN JUST ONE INSTANCE that corroborates this, in-universe.

[Renotarshil-malganis (Renotarshil)]

Thalassian

That’s just the name of their Language not their race.

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

That’s just the name of their Language not their race.

In-universe source?

Attempt #7.

[Renotarshil-malganis (Renotarshil)]

Source?

High Elves that lived in and/or still live in Quel’thalas is my source.

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

High Elves that lived and/or still live in Quel’thalas is my source.

That isn’t a source for what I’m asking.

You’re implying that there are Blood Elves who self-identify as High Elves, or Void Elves who self-identify as High Elves. I’m asking for an in-universe example of this.

Also, attempt #8.

If you left Australia and went to live in the USA, and applied for a US Citizenship, and then assisted in a government-sponsored internment and/or genocide of other Australians who are living/studying in the USA… at the minimum , insofar as the status of your citizenship is concerned, you most certainly stop being Australian.

Just a quick FYI, That’s incorrect, unless you denounce your Australian Citizenship, most countries allow dual citizenship, your still Australian in legal eyes aswell, but if you wanna get technical and go into natives and stuff that’s a whole other story, that’s going the legal route…

In almost every nation, an act of treason automatically strips you of your citizenship.

Edit: Just looked, Australia revokes citizenship AND either imprisons you or exiles you from Australia.

[Renotarshil-malganis (Renotarshil)]

That isn’t a source for what I’m asking.

What you’re asking a source for is nothing I’ve claimed to stated. Only you reading something that isn’t there.

The Source that I’ve provided is common knowledge to anyone who actually cares about this race.

[Fyorsing-sargeras]

Their group name is High Elf.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Its standard nomenclature. Their people are from the country of Quel’Thalas, so the name for their language was derived from it. its clunky and weird to say Quel’thalassian. So they shortened it to Thalassian. The same goes for their people. a person from the United States of America is an American. A person from England is English. (I’ll grant you the American doesnt speak American but does most likely speak English and then you get into a whole buncha other stuff. I digress)

Its unlikely that they’d be called Quel’Thalassian in the world. Course with elves we have a bunch of other subdivisions, Quel’Dorei, Sin’Dorei, Ren’Dorei etc. They’re all from the same source though. Quel’Thalas. Thalassians. It works.

I get that its the language in game and there is little in game to that says Thalassians, but since there is clearly some confusion on what to call who what, why not make use of it?

[Renotarshil-malganis (Renotarshil)]

What’s the confusion?

[Pepino-caelestrasz (Pepino)]

Not sure you looking at today’s laws, or back in the 1700s , they can only strip your citizenship if your a dual citizen.

[Renotarshil-malganis (Renotarshil)]

Their people are from the country of Quel’Thalas

Yeah but their race is called High Elves that speak Thalassian.

You wouldn’t suddenly refer to Night Elves as Darnassian.
