Sorry to bother y’all but I have a burning question. If a void elf couple decade to have children would the child be a normal high elf/blood elf or be a void elf? I know some races have been explained like worgen parents have human children and green orcs one day lose their green skin and go back to be brown or dark skin like maghar, however I’m truly curious about void elf kids. Do y’all have any ideas?

That’s precisely the debate we were having just now in the Velf discord.
The official answer is: nobody knows.
There are three possibilities:
- Void Elves cannot reproduce.
- Void Elves can reproduce and their offspring are little Void Elves (which in essence would mean they’re a different biological race from High Elves - like Night Elves and Nightborne).
- Void Elves can reproduce and their offspring are regular High Elves (which would mean they’re the same biological race as High Elves - like Humans and Worgen).
I’m afraid Blizzard will keep this unanswered for a long time.
But personally, I’m inclined to believe it’s the third one.

I would think that the original void elves who where changed on a biological level by the void infusion would have little void babies, if they can reproduce at all.
Honestly I hope they are all just sterile so we can avoid more elves in the future.

I’d assume the children are born as Void tainted Elves for a few reasons: Locus Walker mentions Void Elves of the first generation with Umbric were twisted on the fundamental level of body and mind, meaning they’re not really Blood Elves except in shape.
Secondly taint and corruption is the Void/Fel’s schtick, they taint everything around them, and a child would have no defense against such an overwhelming invasive force mentally or physically, any child that SURVIVES such an ordeal would be mentally/physically tainted with Void (and probably irrevocably insane).
Also the inner child effect from anima cell toys turns Void Elves into Void shades if that’s any indicator…

My guess is Void Elves can procreate, but the death rate of their offspring is 100%.
There’s nothing to suggest the race is sterile because of their corruption, but whether they’re making a high elf or a void elf in their bodies, that unborn child is already swimming in an ocean of void magic, which is going to affect them on a developmental level far before they ever reach the point they could learn the techniques to control the void and master the whispers.
In other words, anything born from a void elf is likely to be a monster.

Logically, there’s no reason their biology stopped functioning where procreation is concerned. There’s nothing to suggest the necessary organs have undergone some sort of alteration that makes procreation impossible.
So, assuming everything works as it should (because we’ve been given nothing to suggest otherwise), we then have to consider the next step in the process of procreation, which is the development of the fetus inside of the womb. In this case, that womb is full of void magic. Some studies suggest playing music for a baby in the womb can have a positive effect on development, but somehow I don’t think the whispers of the void, driving even dragons, gods, and titans to madness, would have a beneficial outcome.
Whatever comes out at the time of birth, would be a monster, and probably would have to be put down. Thus, the 100% mortality rate.

Man I don’t know… I prefer to think of happier outcomes xD
I want to believe their sexual organs are not affected by the Void (just like their vision or taste aren’t affected by the Void) and, thus, their children are just normal Thalassian elves.

So you believe, somehow, a developing void elf fetus can master the teachings that took Alleria herself hundreds of years to master, and which Void Elves themselves still struggle with to this day?
I’m sorry, I just don’t see it. Even if a Void Elf child came out, they’re already beyond lost to the whispers before they’re even named.

I just think the fetus doesn’t deal with that. It simply grows into a baby. Just like Worgen fetuses (or whatever its English plural is xD) don’t have to deal with the Worgen curse.

Except the Worgen curse is a curse, an affliction of the soul. There’s no reason for a worgen fetus to get the curse (well, there are plenty, but Blizzard went with no). A void elf’s body is infused with the void on a biological level. There is no escaping that power. The fetus is bathed in it from the moment of conception.
Again, there is just no way for the developing fetus to be protected from the effects of the void.

But so is a LF Draenei’s body (with Light) and yet their children are normal Draenei:
Lightforged draenei have normal draenei children, as shown in the allied race Vindicaar
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Lightforged_draenei
Additionally, a curse can also be inherited, look at the Arakkoa for instance.
There’s no right answer to this question, it all boils down to what Blizzard prefers, really. That’s why we won’t truly know until they say how it works, sadly. 
I mean, Draenei are already pretty much 100% light, the Lightforged are just 110% light. The Draenei racial is literally, ‘Gift of the Naaru,’ a light-based heal. Its also worth pointing out that the Light doesn’t whisper and drive people insane.
The Arrakoa being a case of a void-based curse altering flesh. In other words, if the outcast, flightless Arrakoa could produce the normal Arrakoa that could fly, you might have some ground to stand on thinking Void Elf offspring would be like those of worgen. Except it’s the opposite case, and the curse the Arrakoa are afflicted with is void-based, last I checked.
In short, Arrakoa are evidence in support of Void Elves having Void Elf children that would be unable to master the teachings to protect themselves before they would so much as leave the womb.
Monsters before they’re even born.
