They are not part of “this discussion”. For someone who loves to throw around insults, you do have a hard time with comprehension.
I’m not dodging the debate. I am dodging your constant contradiction and blatant toxic attitude. I have already proven that a number of times but you keep on being condescending (which seems to be an ongoing theme with Helf supporters) and for no reason whatsoever.
I did defeat your arguments, based on lore. You just choose to cherry pick what is acceptable to your head canon.
Lore states that after The highborne were exiled and cut off from the Well of Eternity, they “evolved”. Genetically. Their hair changed color, their skin, their eyes etc. That, by definition, is evolution. And hence they became “High elves” and founded the High elven city Quel’thalas. At no point in time, did this ever happen again. Other than the 3 I listed (again, going back to only talking of Night elves and High elves).
Nightborne “did not evolve” into a new race. The Nightborne are original remnants of the time period of Zin Azshari. Pre Sundering. Their long exposure changed their appearance but it was not, by definition, “an evolution”. They are genetically the same race as Night elves. We, High elves, are not.
“Sigh” Okay. Glad to know that you represent the Helf crowd. I don’t have anything to worry about. Bet your part of the same crowd that screams “Blizzard doesn’t know THEIR OWN LORE!”.
