I hate calling it a mistake. Its more that its under-utilized. We’ve had multiple times where the perspective of the Void Elves would have been neat and helpful whether that was with N’zoth, or during Zalarek Cavern or what have you.
While its nice to see a few new void elves with names in Dragonflight none of them do particularly much of note. It’d be nice to have a few new faces actually involved in some of the voidier sections of the game.
Still I agree. We need more lore. We need more stories. We need to see whats going on now, where some of the more important members came from and what we’re doing to secure out future.
I imagine this would be the easier of all the parts. Writing Umbric into his past as a Magister would probably be fairly simple. If he were just a member of the Magisters Counsel that supposedly exists he could easily have been mostly busy doing that until his forced departure. Perhaps with notes of him suggesting the Blood Elves seek out the powers of the Void to protect their home.
It would also be a good idea to have the Timeline on when the Void Elves were exiled be more directly spoken about. As it stands Blizzard has been extremely unclear on when it happened.
I’d also like to see more info on Instructor Duskwalker. I think as a clearly important teacher of new void elves its important to know more about him too.
This one would be nice to see. We know the whispers are more numerous now. It would be nice to see how the Void Elves are protecting themselves from this better and to see them establishing themselves on the Telogrus Rift as well as perhaps in few voidy areas of Azeroth to study and protect.
I’d love to see the Void Elves establish themselves on the five or so islands, keeping the main one as a sort of staging ground where an Inn exists and some general vendors and traders for those visiting along side a larger storehouse for their supplies from Stormwind.
The second island should be quarters for the Void Elves and their new recruits especially. Its here that I’d like to see the newly arrived High and Blood Elves congregate to learn more about the void as they take their first steps down a powerful but dangerous path. Add more trainers and instructors and expand it with teaching areas.
The third island should have its Void Storm contained and here should be where high and blood elves who have advanced enough to become void else (a choice not forced) undergo a new ritual to change them into void elves.
Its important that this ritual have them come out as both Allerian and Umbrician void elves and that Blizzard show some of them becoming a mix of the two. (randomize the customizations they end up with basically.)
The third island would also be where Umbric and the other leaders hold council and where void magisters and researchers congregate to advance the void elves knowledge.
The Fourth island I think should be for our Warriors, Rogues and paladins. A militant island where our blacksmiths toil at Void Crystal forges and anvils to build weapons of the Void Elves and prepare to support Stormwind in their military needs. An area where the fighters live and train and a storage motor pool where they store Void Elf Ballistae and other possible war machines.
The Fifth island should be a small voidified forest and field run by our druids, shaman and hunters where they keep and train our starcursed hawkstriders and dragonhawks. There should be a number of tameable starcursed versions of animals on this island for Umbral Rangers to use and collect and perhaps an area to buy some more starcursed mounts?
This would help also of course with the third point…
Of where the future leads. Knowing the Void Storm is how they make more but that its a choice is important. The Void Elves should not be a forced thing for those coming to learn. This also allows those of us who are focused more on the High Elf aspect to still play with the idea of learning from Void Elves and then going on as high elves still.
But there should be more. Umbric should speak of actively trying to defend against the void on Azeroth and exploring the Telogrus Rift, supposedly the dead corpse of the world where the World Soul Telogrus dwelled. There should be strands giving us a glimpse of the void elves looking towards their future both on and off of Azeroth.
There are many options and places we could go and many things we could be.
The doors are open to us. We need only walk through them.
) VE get another pass, the old hairstyles get the holes filled in. The issue with the missmatched length in some styles could be lessened with an additional braid toggle (maybe an additional hair strand option) but the base mesh kinda has to remain mostly the same so the toggles match.
