Always Wowpedia. Wowwiki has a history of misinformation. Wowpedia is far more accurate and professional.

Hey! Bladinas, I found your WoW Encyclopedia User page. :black_heart:

You have more than 1,000 edits.

Which makes the current discussion really hilarious.

We must be looking at the same conversation then. I’m Blayaden. :sweat_smile:

Well, like I mentioned a while back- I used to be really active on the forums. Those pictures and drawings are really old!

I also don’t claim to know everything.

He’s mocking a character. That’s not an insult because there’s nothing to insult.

So now you’re being outright obvious with concern trolling.

Do you have nothing better to do? Pick up a hobby or something. This is sad.

This is just a misunderstanding. Don’t be so defensive.

I might be strange, I don’t like to think of myself as a High Elf. To me when Kael’thas renamed us the Blood Elves, it had significance. It was to honor those that died, to honor a past life. One that ended tragically, but ended nonetheless. The High Elven Title should remain with those that died. We as Blood Elves might carry on their Legacy, yet I do not see myself as a High Elf. The High Elves of Quel’thalas died during the third war. Kael’thas renamed us the Blood Elves, and it is, as a Blood Elf that I will stand and defend Silvermoon City and Quel’thalas. It is as a Blood Elf that I will Die. Not as the race once known as a High Elf.

Well. I skipped last night’s altercations, I don’t know what happened then, but sometimes we get too defensive and, because we are expecting aggression, we end up being too aggressive ourselves, and that leads to escalation. I don’t know if that was the case, but I at least have found no problem with talking with him.

Yes, it’s correct. :slight_smile:

That’s pretty much it. I think a blood elf would take offense of being called high elf. And would see those who currently call themselves high elves as cowards that chose to took refuge in the lost glories of the past rather than do what was necessary to defend their people today.

2008? After that I went to a Tech School and got a degree in Computers.

Looking at that page is like looking at a time capsule. I had completely forgotten Bladinas used to go by “Duskwatcher” until I moved him to Scarlet Crusade alongside my Warrior. RIP Unseen Order.

Those drawings I did have actually aged pretty well, despite all the changes I’ve done to the character designs (No more Unseen Order tabards). I miss messing around in the Warcraft Model Viewer.

Those “background stories” for my characters are pure cringe though- I’ve done a lot of rewrites since then!

It says in the WoW encyclopedia that they do not consider themselves High Elves.

Considering High Elves stayed with the Alliance and then there was the Sunreavers getting imprisoned incident, I imagine they might be quite upset if you misidentified them currently.

Watches the squabbling over moot points, as he sips a cup of Morning Thunder tea.
If I might intrude
?
First: ‘Lore’, in this game, is whatever Blizzard says it is. They change it, for whatever and whenever.
Second: Panderan were a joke too, until MoP.
Third: This tea is delicious!
Goes for a refill; flipping his gorgeous locks all the way.

due note that while we have no official numbers of the silver covenant if we go off of what camps, outposts, bases, and battles they take part in as well as the equipment they have been shown to possess such as ships and siege weapons we can easily assume they have multiple battalions worth of troops.

A battalion typical consists of anywhere between 500-1000 soldiers. SO the silver covenant alone consists of thousands of soldiers. That makes sense given their background and the race they represent. somewhere between 20-40 thousand high elves is the likely number of their population across all regions they inhabit.

For those that doubt the numbers keep in mind that “only a few scattered remains left” doesn’t mean just a handful of them. compared to the original population before warcraft 3 likely being in the millions this basically is on the verge of extinction compared to that.

I don’t think there’s so many Silver Covenant, or high elves, around.

While yes, they do have equipment, including ships, I’d say they are a small force supplied by the Alliance.

The entire population of surviving high elves is around 11% of the blood elf population. This is very close to Kael’s forces (the Sunfury), which were close to 15% of the blood elf population. Silver Covenant is a fraction of the high elf population. I’d guess the Silver Covenant is around half as numerous as the Sunfury. Some hundred members.
