That’s a non-cited claim in a wiki. the only citation that follows it is for the translation of quel’dorei. There’s nothing saying that’s what the highborne referred to themselves as.
I mean, they have actually physically changed. I’m having trouble finding the one story or quest that made it sound like the changes started while they were at sea, but it should be fairly obvious that they are physically different now. And that it’s those physically different elves that we’re talking about here, not Kal’dorei groups.
You mean the group that was formed in Wrath for the sole purpose of opposing letting the horde in in that expansion?
I know that. And my very first post I said this was all semantics. Tarrok wanted to be right and I just went with it. All elves are Kaldorei. Not all High Elves are Sindorei. But all Sindorei are High elves.
I believe just Quel’lithien was actually exiled. Like I said earlier, Vereesa was considering returning and learning to mana tap, so she clearly didn’t think they’d turn her away.
What I’m getting from this is High Elves are so prideful they’d rather die then accept a method that would help with arcane withdrawal or work with former enemies such as the Horde.
But that’s simply not true we’ve had Lanesh since MOP when blue eyes were the recognizing aspect of a High Elf and he’s been flagged as a BE the entire time.
That suggests HEs are returning to the fold taking the BE name. Which makes sense because BEs are the playable high elf race that is reinforced not once but twice in our heritage quest.
Probably only because Blood elves are no longer forced to steal mana from living creatures to sate their arcane thirst.
Probably just me but was playing FFXIV and finishing up the MSQ for the new patch, remembered it takes story from FFIV I think, where we essentially have a Moon Paladin and thought that was a cool concept.
