Sometimes the hand of fate must be forced.

Yea. I mean. The illidari aren’t letting gnomes into their ranks so. Had to figure out a way to become a demon hunter myself.

We all envy Gnomest’s creativity I think.

They’re extremely talented at making models too.

Appreciated. It would be nice to see them playable someday.

I wanted these and Ankoan. Ugh. The goblin skin tones we have need more color diversity.

I’d prefer that they are an AR.

Customization drops too much if what they are.

They need their own racials and mount and classes.

Scroll up for my customization thread posts. I advice merging some races we have now into the barbershop. And bodytype/ picking new racials, etc.

I’ve gone back to Nazjatar to work on achievements from there as well as trying to get a snapdragon and manta ray mount for future Kelfin screenshots.

I have to admit, I really missed the place. I liked the aesthetics and aquatic themes, as well as having some good memories of working with others to find and bring down rares and world bosses. Honestly, I miss being back on Azeroth in general since I feel so disconnected with Shadowlands. Nazjatar was pretty neat as a zone, and I’m curious how it looks being likely submerged by now.

I still maintain hope of seeing the Unshackled join the Horde in the near future. I feel like the named NPC’s on Durotar’s shores will mean something at some point. As I said before, I hope it’s sooner than later and that they don’t perpetually just stand there for several expansions with nothing coming from it.

I’ll continue to hope for the best for playable Kelfin! Preferably as their own race slot on that character creation screen! :japanese_goblin::trident:

Thematically I liked bfa a lot more. Its why even though I’ve hit max level on my shaman I still play in bfa areas mostly.

I noticed that the Unshackled have a banner:

Which is also what their tabard is:

If Kelfin got to be playable, I’m wondering how different their tabard would be. Would it use the same symbol? A different one to specifically represent Kelfin specifically? Would it use more aquatic colors?

Just some things to consider. :japanese_goblin::trident:

As with most AR’s it would probably be a modified version of the current Tabard.

My hope is it would be more or less the Unshackled symbol on a red and black background, more akin to the Horde banner.

Oh yes. I love that tabard. I wonder if that symbols is just generic or it is an actual language symbol.

Since I have an underwater mount and an item that gives me underwater breathing, I took a look in the ocean close to where the Unshackled are in Durotar. I didn’t see much of interest, but I did notice the mountain range that is on your left when you head towards the waters in the area.

Mostly, I was thinking that if the Unshackled were chased out of Nazjatar for whatever reason, a cavern could be made in there that you get to from underwater. There could even be a tunnel connecting it to Orgrimmar also. There is a small mini cave-dungeon thing close to the area, but that can stay as is or could be utilized by the Horde for something else. It shouldn’t be in the way of making room within the mountains.

Mostly was thinking that if we got Kelfin as an allied race, they could use that as their racial hub starting area, where you do a quick trek to Orgrimmar and to the embassy to start your adventure. It might be a bit easier to do that as opposed to submerging Nazjatar and setting barriers to prevent you from swimming too far out, but it would still be interesting to see and swim around a submerged Nazjatar.

Just an idea I had I wanted to share. :japanese_goblin::trident:

My hope is that they’ll overhaul Orgrimmar and add a full dock into the side of Orgrimmar that faces the sea.

And that the Kelfin would take up residence there (or under it).

Would be amazing.

Maybe a small grotto. That could also work.

Jinyu should be a playable race first.
