Looks good.
Going to attempt the helmet?
I agree! I mean, literally almost anything is better than those aberrations:
Sethrak, Saberon, Jinyu >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Junker Gnomes
These are the Mechagnomes people were requesting:
Not those aberrations they showed us at Blizzcon. Seems like Blizzard is amused in never giving alliance what theyâre really asking for 
.
People asked for literally a robot race in the past, not hideous half mixed mech/flesh stuff.

Vrykul, donât leave these guys out⌠Vikings!
Nah, since itâs based on the Aldor Armor the SC guardians wear, it has that collar thingy
Vrykul, Mechagnomes, EarthenâŚ
I mean, the Horde just got like what, 20 deities on their side.
Only fair the Keepers finally assume their cursed children and side with the Alliance.
This is happening because thereâs a huge difference when you do something with passion and love, and when you wanna to finish something as quickly as possible because you donât like it.
This is how Blizz develops Horde and Alliance right now, and I dont need to say who is who in this situation, you probably already get it.

Nozdormu model is not even close to a Blood Elf. I donât know where you get this from, but if Nozdormu = Blood Elf, then every elf in the game are the same.

Itâs a redone Night Elf model.

Who would be the racial leader? or would it be a group of leaders?
Vereesa Windrunner would be the obvious candidate, though Auric Sunchaser would be a suitable fit as well. Though I could see Blizzard re-using some other small-time NPCs as well or making some new ones depending on what fit the narrative.

Hey, I missed this post, sorry.
So doing some quick research before replying to this, I found out that Trolls werenât the only race that were on Azeroth before the Titans came, but also the Tauren -
So I was like, âHey, here is an avenue for evolution. The High Mountain Tauren have different antlers than regular Tauren, how did this happen?â
Answer - Blessing from Cenarius
Though I started my research by peeking at the leper gnomes, because if DNA exists then radiation should shred it so there is your first real topic that could shed some light on it⌠and so radiation, obviously, even considering the toxins, doesnât operate like it should.
Under titans it says, âUnlike most creatures the Titans are made of primordial matter.â
This is apparently from World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume 1âŚ
and so just peeking at the table of contents the ideology behind races becomes apparent immediately and thatâs not biology but Cosmology.
The cosmic forces are: Light and shadow, life and death, Order and Disorder, The elements (Fire, wind, water, air and spirit) and elemental duality (who knows. Whoâs got this book?)
Dwarves were made out of living stone before the curse of flesh turned them into flesh and sinew.
and so without knowing the pathology of the Curse of the Flesh we canât really draw any conclusions.
Donât get me wrong, Iâd like it if deoxyribonucleic acid was calling the shots.
But at the end of the day weâre just extrapolating presumptions on Azeroth based on what we know to be true.
Do the races of Azeroth just have amazing telomeres that protect their chromosomes from any fraying? Probably not. Like, you could make that argument, âNozdormu just froze the Night Elves telomeres in place so theyâre immortal!â
But itâs just unlikely and the reason for that is that the creatives behind the lore probably arenât biology majors.
So instead of extrapolating biology on the races of Azeroth all we can really do is observe the rules of cosmology they drop on us.
But the writers are going to be affected by real world stuff, so youâll see things like Vereesaâs half elves being born.
But, what if thatâs the result of mixing cosmology? Hey. Weâve got these Trolls that have been affected by Arcane magic⌠what alchemy happens when you mix that with something that was formerly a mineral but then was cursed?
Iâm willing to talk about it though: I recommend - Debate Topic 1 - How does the curse of the flesh turn a magically animated mineral into organic matter compounds? (Are there organic matter compounds?!?!)

Debate Topic 2 - Lipid storage and insulin resistance in formerly magically animated mineral KulâTiranâs.
If cosmology is the biology of wow I wonder if humans became less earth aligned and became fire-water-earth aligned. (Hydrogen (water), Oxygen (Air), Carbon (Fire) Sulfur (Fire), Nitrogen (Air?) - Organic Compounds
Earth - Calcium, Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium.
Not sure where to drop Chlorine - Air?
The Titans represent the cosmology of Order and so they build things like Dwarves that are supposed to be unchangeableâŚ
The Old Gods seem to represent disorder, look at them, which is probably why their offspring do evolve. (Oh yeah, first thing it says about them in the wiki.)
Edit: undead and metaphysics from wiki
The Undead are beings who have died and become trapped between life and death. One of the consequences of the involvement of Void in the undeadâs metaphysics is that they only feel faint sensations of pain or discomfort from most physical stimuli. This is also why the Light is so painful to their existence. The dark energy serves as a buffer that prevents the souls of the undead from properly joining their bodies. As a result, their souls are imperfectly attached to them.
When a spirit is consumed by the Void, an echo of the Soul is all that is left behind. These echoes are not truly âaliveâ in either the physical or spiritual sense, and are merely twisted reverberations of the anguish of the soul left behind when it was consumed

This is really interesting because the involvement of the Void means that undead only feel faint sensations of pain or discomfort from most physical stimuli.
Void Elves donât get interrupted by attacks while casting spells, so⌠related.
didnât the tauren come from yuangol who in turn came from the yak celestial in pandaria just like nearly all beast races are decended from a wild god?

I didnât know that. But yeah. They run into flesh shapers who use anima to change animalsâŚ
Then they headed back to Cenarius, where being affected by the Well of Eternity changed them into TaurenâŚ
So the Tauren hit by that arcane magic.
Also still no evolution other than being affected by disorder(chaos) magic.

Also the forums are in a good place right now so I donât want to start a fight⌠But what this means is that Quelâdorei are metaphysically different from Blood Elves currently.
Blood Elves - Affected by Fel (Disorder) magic⌠just a bit. You get more of it, then you end up with Felblood Elves who look like Demon Hunters who are also being hit more by that Fel power (And are coming apart at the seems in some cases.)
Quelâdorei are mostly affected by arcane energy (The opposite of Fel, itâs Order magic) and so that kind of makes sense with how chill they always are.
But then youâve got those Sinâdorei that let the lightwell purify them, Lady Laidrin for instance, and so theoretically theyâre even more ordered. Since Light magic is also an order magic.
So that will be interesting from a metaphysics point of view.
