And canonically that player came on that ship after the Eredar fallout. As a faction, they would be HIGHLY incentivized not to be warlocks seeing as they were nearly just wiped out by demons and forced to run to the far reaches of space. Even shamans are treated as pretty taboo. We, as players, do not get the luxury of picking and choosing our backstory and thus have the narrative control. For as much as players like to “think” they are special, the game explicitly states you are not and it is much later when you become a canonical relevant individual worthy of being on a first name basis with the most prominent of lore characters. ALL Draenei came to Azeroth on their crashed ship. ALL Lightforged Draenei underwent the trials to become lightforged and thus are, canonically, radicalized people who have the highest and upmost faith in the light. Your “story” as a character is very much set in stone too. You don’t get the chance to side with Garrosh and become one of the true horde in MoP. You don’t get to decide you want to side with Gul’dan and join the Legion. Even if you, the player, didn’t choose to do a quest, canonically your character did and lived in the world where the events happened.
Which further proves my point that warlocks, like deathknights and demon hunters if/when they become unlocked, make sense to be a hero class and more specifically exist in a world of class swapping. A story can make sense with a lightforged who loses faith/trust in the light and/or becomes corrupted and turns to fel and demons for power just like it makes sense for a hero to die and become resurrected by the lich king and made into a deathknight who then later regains their will and fights back against the evil that made them what they are (and once upon a time, the original plan, as I remember, was for the player to sacrifice a leveled character to become a DK by undergoing a questline that led to your death and resurrection and later why the game stresses and emphasizes in the initial DK quests that you were once a hero but what you were, class wise, didn’t matter as now you are a DK and such).
Any sort of magic can corrupt anyone.
Cool Draenei fact’s!
One day you will have to answer for your actions . . . and the light . . . will not be so merciful . . .
Thats why I said we need Eradar allied race and give them warlocks.
There’s already plenty of bad race/class combos and even spec/race combos that do not make sense. IMO it’s all free game now. WoW was never about preserving any semblance of lore in game, and the lore is so bad now might as well open it. Allied races suck, a chunk of them should’ve just been barber shop options for the normal race.
The ONLY unique allied race is vulpera. The rest are the same race of another group.
Could just give the broken as AR.
Plus all the dps fanatics that are warlocks are just gonna go certain races tbh.
Like the Draenor orcs for demons since they have a pet racial passive.
i really hope we get red appearances and horns for them i really hope .
But being a warlock isn’t the same as being corrupted by the legion.
It should be noted that unless blizzard has presented any prior evidence(which as of yet i don’t believe they have) the Eredar are the first ever and original race to become warlocks and it is through them manipulating and seducing lesser races that other races started learning to be warlocks Gul’dan being the biggest example of this. The Eredar ,Dreanei and Lightforged Dreanei are all the same race they just simply walk different paths but all 3 are fully capable of being warlocks if they so chose it and lore plus logic supports this.
There are notable factions of Dreanei such as the Sargerei that have warlocks amongst them but are Dreanei.
Lothraxion showed us a demon could be cleansed by pure light and become lightforged so logically it would be possible for the opposite to occur.
The facts are both logic and lore support that Dreanei and Lightforged Dreanei can become warlocks and for all we know LF Dreanei warlocks could already exist but as for Dreanei they already have warlocks.

The eredar exist because the main population accepted the power od the legion and…blah blah blah.
I am excited to play an eredar. It is entertaining to watch these posts pop up though
maybe they fall in with a bad crowd of kids & start using curse words.
y’know, like the young folk do.
Lol what. Its almost like you’re forgetting that was some time ago, and draenei are capable of having children at any time. You seem really obsessed with the old ones. That’s ok but. You know. They’re old.
Everything you just wrote is entirely head-canon.
I dunno why people make stuff up and then get mad when it’s not real.
YOOOUUU mean like… Uhmmm… Worgen??? Hmmmm. . It’s like you’re implying that two different kinds of playable trolls that look pretty different from each other don’t exist or do exist but shouldn’t.
I mean technically the vulpera are just hairy goblins
Think a Eredar skin options would work. Just be the same as Dark Ranger skin for Elves.
Exposure to Fel energy creates mutations such as horns, scales, or green eyes. They could look like Eredar but still consider themselves Alliance. Archimonde and Kil’jaeden chose to join the Legion for power.
its liek the num 1 thing i wanted besides void elf paladin
There’s was more Jewish soldiers saluting Hitler than there will ever be lightforged warlocks. So making them playable makes no sense.
If you don’t care about scarcity being represented in-game just say so.
