It’s a bit hard to kill off the High Elves considering how scattered they are. You’d have to simultaneously take out the High Elves in:
And probably a few other locations.
I’m not trolling. Blizzard had the perfect opportunity to make High Elves an allied race but declined. Instead they created Void Elves out of thin air. Need I say more?
Wipe out their main military force, and they are no longer a threat to the Horde. The remaining ones are probably civilians and interbreeding with humans, thus being a non issue.
What opportunity? Are you saying they are going to have an unguarded potluck so sylvanas is going to manabomb them?
You think she can take out Dalaran, Stormwind, The Hinterlands, Allerian Stronghold, Farstrider Lodge, and the 7th legion in one calculated strike to get rid of the High Elves specifically?
In what unrealistic fanfiction do you think that will happen?
Know what’s more likely to happen? The Void Elves currupt the Sunwell and turn a large part of the population of Blood Elves into Void Elves.
Is that likely? No. But it’s at least within the realms of reality and not wishful thinking.
And overly sarcastic remark that adds nothing to the conversation IS trolling.
You been doing nothing but grasping at straws in this thread to try and prove you highly specific ideas that have no foundation in reality. It’s not working.
There are High Elves within the 7th Legion so… wipe out the Silver Covenant and you’re just paving the way for Auric to form his own Squad within the 7th Legion. If the Void Elves as an, ‘elite crack squad,’ qualify as an Allied Race, then Auric’s Squad would too.
If we get a Silvermoon warfront, the SIlver Covenant would absolutely be involved. Sylvanas knows they would be there, and would likely have a surprise waiting. No, every last High Elf wouldn’t be killed, but enough would be so that they are no longer relevant in the story.
Potentially…
Attacking armies never expect surprises!
The issue with Quel’dorei is maybe they weren’t extinct enough before to be playable. The developers were like, “Almost Extinct! They won’t be playable until they’re nearly extinct, like the Darkspear, Tauren, Mag’har Orcs and Void Elves!”
yo, for real arent there like only 12 blood elves and vereesa in the silver covenant. i mean its not like theres hundreds or even thousands of them
really? youre just gonna make up your own lore and disregard the fact all high elves started to call themselves sindorei/blood elves? except for 12 who didnt want to sever all tiers with alliance ![:smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/smile.png?v=6" ":smile:")
Or they take it and Silvermoon becomes the High Elf starting area.
Just as likely if not more than your scenario.
And we don’t need a large group to be relevant. Just an “Elite Crack Squad”.
It does beg the question as to how many casualties they suffered against the Legion in Suramar.
Just as likely? ![:rofl:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/rofl.png?v=6" ":rofl:")
High Elves deserve their own unique model and animations to separate themselves from their crackelf cousins. They should not be a quick and lazy AR recolor, instead be a full fledged new race to promote the next expansion, as was traditional for previous new races.
High Elves should barrow a model similar to the Maghar Orcs. They have different attributes that represent several orc clans under one “Race”.
Elisande made a backhanded compliment when she said the High Elves were perfect, except they chose to dilute their heritage by mixing with other races. Obviously an insult to Vereesa because she has a mixed race family, but this multiculturalism should be utilized to visually separate High Elves from the “pure” Blood Elves of Silvermoon.
You have Blood Elves who are proud to shed the influence of humans and embrace their magical heritage and power. Then there’s High Elves who consider loyalty paramount, and hate that their cousins abandoned responsibility by indulging in fel and now holy magic unrestrained.
Blizzard can go to town with the culture clash between the elf groups. And you know they really want to use High Elves since they keep bringing them back every expansion. Release them as a new race, and let players see the growing gulf of differences between the elf groups.
Why not?
They have the Void Elves, Alleria, and the Entire Alliance on their side.
Blood Elves couldn’t hold back the leftover Scourge without the Forsaken and needed the Silver Covenant’s help just to fight off the Amani in Cataclysm.
What exactly can the Blood Elves do to stop them with the Forsaken base of power gone and them being cornered?
And lets not forget that all Alleria has to do is get near the Sunwell.
Not to mention this has already been foreshadowed.
So yes, MORE likely than your weird made up scenario.
That’s a lot of good suggestions, but
Blizzard announced that they are not going to make Allied Race with new models after the Kul’Tirans, which took 5 months to be made and delayed the release of the Zandalari Trolls, their Horde counterpart.
One of the good points about High Elves is that they would be easy to implement, as long as the devs use existing models and apply the modifications on it instead of making a new one.
Most likely, but who knows? The Developers may opt for it to be primarily fought by the Void Elves and other Alliance forces. We haven’t seen High Elves fighting to take Quel’Thalas from the Blood Elves. They’ve fought to protect Quel’Thalas from their ancient enemies, but attacking it is something else. Personally I don’t think most High Elves have much of a reason to go after Quel’Thalas; they’ve homes and lives within the Alliance as is.
Anyways, if Silvermoon is a Warfront and the Silver Covenant is involved because the Void Elves aren’t numerous enough on their own to launch the campaign, then the High Elves wouldn’t be going anywhere. The narrative would require their presence.
First of all…
I’m the one making up Lore, huh? So cute.
Well. Those twelve Quel’dorei held down Suramar, Northrend and The Isle of Thunder so the Horde might want to surrender now.
On a non-sarcastic note, I really hope you play World of Warcraft some day and experience the Lore it has to offer, or even read any of the books. It’s got a pretty good story and maybe when you learn something about the Lore you could come onto the forums and argue about it.
![:joy:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/joy.png?v=6" ":joy:")
what the?
and some of you say i have no clue of the lore?
And they have a choice of using the Void/Blood Elf model or the Night Elf model.
Somebody call the Spellbreakers. This one has had too much blood thistle and wine.
you guys are the ones claiming the silver covenant blood elves are going to try and take back quelthalas from… the blood elves?
