Neri Sharpfin, Vim Brineheart, Poen Gillbrack, Mak and Friend are still waiting next to the docks at Dranosh’ar Blockade in Durotar.
If the leaders of the Unshackled are here, there is maybe a reason. Maybe they want to discuss with the Horde council or with Lor’themar Theron. Maybe they even want to become a part of the Horde. 
Quite possibly with all of the different developments and other races possibly being set up as new ARs.
Hopefully Kelfin will be among these new ARs 
I was hoping for a few more kelfin pieces, but some of the new Hearthstone art has given me ideas for potential allied race customizations. This kelfin lady is pretty cool. I like the starfish hair ornament. There could be different hair ornament options like starfish, clam shells, and anemones of different colors. I also like the head fin in combination with the flowing hair, and being able to select fin color separate from skin color. Additionally, I like the face paint or tattoos that she has.
This rather alarming-looking kelfin gent has also given me some ideas. I like the kelp hair as an option. There could be other non-traditional hair options, like coral or anemone tendrils. He also has some face paint or tattoos of lightning bolts and an anchor. Other nautical tats like sharks or skulls and crossbones could be fun.
Bonus image, since I think this is a regular goblin, but the mecha-shark looks like a cool underwater mount!
Please be the next AR.
Still not sure why this hasn’t seen much attention. The kelfin joined the Horde in BfA, just let it happen, Blizzard!
Give us the fish gobs…please.
The Kelfin and the Unshackled in general haven’t officially joined the Horde, to my knowledge. We kinda left them suddenly without any word towards the end of BfA. A shame, since they helped us out a lot and are on the shores of Durotar, just waiting to get that official invitation to join the Horde.
Hopefully, they won’t be forgotten going forward, as I do want to actually see them playable and part of the Horde. It just makes a lot of sense and there is a mutual benefit to having them join for both the Horde and the Unshackled.
Two days until the next expansion is revealed! With any luck, we’ll see the Unshackled appear again in the near future, preferably with Kelfin on the Horde side of that character creation screen! 
Nice art. It makes me hope we get them someday. Seeing as they are already in org. They should have them join the horde council. I think them and Jinyu/ankoan would make a nice pair.
It still bums me out that Nazjatar wasn’t underwater. Years ago I had grand dreams of an underwater expansion based around Nazjatar with maybe rebel naga becoming playable. Ahhh, a gobbo can dream…
At least give us the kelfin, Blizzard. Come on.
South Seas Exp would have been awesome or Azshara to have her own Expansion than a Patch.
Long time no see. Although I’ve mostly decided to stop lobbying for gilblins since I don’t want to get overly mentally invested in something we ultimately have mostly no control over, I think it is good to occasionally keep the thread going so it is known the race is wanted by some.
With 9.2.5 coming out on Tuesday, I’ll be checking on the Unshackled on the shores of Durotar as usual. It’ll be something of interest to see if there is any change since there are suppose to be events going on that show off a bit of how things have been doing on Azeroth since we’ve been in the Shadowlands.
No specifics on what those type of events are, other than one event having something to do with the Horde Council in some fashion, but it’s still worth a checkup on the Unshackled. Maybe we’ll see something different this time. Who knows?
I’ll report my findings once servers are up. It looks like an eight hour maintenance according to the launcher (7 AM to 3 PM Pacific), short of any extended maintenance or any extended extended maintenance. Regardless of what all is in the patch, I’ll be happy to be back doing stuff on Azeroth again. 
As usual Ill not be getting my hopes up too much, but I certainly won’t be disappointed if we get them. At this point I don’t mind if they are a customization or an AR.
As promised to Kelfin fans, I checked on our Unshackled friends on the shores of Durotar. They’re still there, though nothing really has changed from what I can tell. I also quickly checked Nazjatar and didn’t see anything updated there either.
However, I haven’t done any of the new questlines or anything for 9.2.5 yet, so I don’t know if anything changes after doing them. I know there are suppose to be multiple events, one of which that was mentioned involved the Horde Council in some fashion. I haven’t seen anything about that at all, however.
Will continue to keep an eye on our Unshackled friends and for anything of Kelfin interest.
Appreciated. Meanwhile I have a transmog and skin combination that helps me feel like one at least.
Same. Mainly for my resto shaman cause you know water and all that, and hopefully monk here soon(ish).
Was hoping for a bit more variety in the QoL things to take place instead of a barrage of elf stuff lol, cool they got theirs, just hoping for more gobbo themes. And my damn sapper keg / rocket pack for back slot…

My shaman. I use this to cosplay as a kelfin. Its quite fun. Do you have discord? I can’t link pictures, but I have some neat ones I’d love to share.
I’m craving for the Unshackled to make an appearance in Dragonflight. They’d make so much sense ! Discovering the world alongside their new Horde buds and all !!!
This the shaman I use. Switched mog to be more engineering themed. Though still have the concept ready lol.
Ohhh I didn’t know this thread existed!!!
I am up for gilgoblins as an allied race
