If this is the logic being used then sure, park the Alliance-allied Thalassians under a dome - separated from everyone - for 10,000 years, mutate them, and then re-introduce them to society.
I know that sounds flippant, but if youâre going to attempt to use them as a rationale for getting High Elves then I think itâs fair to give them the same treatment.
When you say, âsettledâ, what you meant is that the people you were initially conversing with just walked away because they couldnât handle the crazy anymore â and now everything is calm, like a seabed.
not necessary since we have precedence for diluted bloodlines. they could easily be made to be more half elven in appearance. then no other evolution is necessary.
That was the secondary argument, before all of that you asserted that HEâs had domiciled in Theramore and Stormwind â and regardless of whether or not your sources are to be considered as canon (RPG, Encylopedia), I asked why either of those statements would be relevant at all to playable High Elves.
Then you stop calling them High Elves, toss out the pure Thalassian aesthetic, make them look as much human as elf, call them Half Elves and come back to this again. The lore should be easy; global model change, comments about half-breeds heard in Stormwind and Dalaran, retcon a story arc where there were so few High Elves left that they were going to die out completely unless they interbred with humans and go from there.
Purely Thalassian aesthetics with a different idle stance, makeup, and hair colors do not a Half Elf make.
Which they did. Hence why there is high elves in both those cities.
Because the argument came from me saying how the Stormwind population of high elves (supposed being the largest from LORE) is virtually not represented well or at all.
Its just Sara decided to make it an argument because I said âBlizzard saidâ instead of listing it out.
ITS AN ARGUMENT ABOUT A PRO-HELF POINT I MADE, WHICH SOMEONE DECIDED TO ARGUE BECAUSE SEMANTICS.
Thereâs a debate, there are sides.
But the fact that you fail to acknowledge that only makes your bias more obvious.
But is not like youâre just cheering up people to bump a thread.
I do not cheer, I inform those that inform me that the information they shared was either interesting, pertinent, or helpful, or I show gratitude for taking the time to type such lore based arguments. Iâve never been a cheerleader but if I was Iâd be the highest flying cheerleader and Iâd let you know.
Thatâs an observation of reality, not an argument. It doesnât matter to me whether youâre pro- or anti-HE, I just would like to understand what youâre trying to assert.
So, again, what is the actual argument? Youâve spent like 90-minutes not refusing to explain your own assertions, when all it would take if 45-seconds and youâd be done.
theres the beauty part - they think theyâre high elves but theyâre actually not. elisande reveals they are not, since the royal (high elves) claim to fame is their pure high elven bloodlines, going back to their highborne ancestors.
the quelâdorei of the alliance, after 3000 years of intermingling in human culture, no longer fit the text book definition of a high elf (et. al, they arenât âroyalsâ in the exacting definition of pure bloodlines). a blood elf is more high elven than an alliance high elf. a void elf is more high elven than an alliance high elf. i mean, following this scenario, anyway. but the alliance half elves could inherit the lore of their parents, who are alliance high elves and alliance humans. two problems immediately solved.
The semantic shenanigans came later, all I was asking about was what you were suggesting by pointing out that there may well be a sizable population of HEâs living in Stormwind? Itâs a simple question, really.
