dalaran is and always was a city to learn magic the founders of it made it be a haven alot of the original defences were made by elves who lived back before the sundering.

But Kael’thas coined the name, I thought. I might be wrong. But he was a member of the royal family, and it’s not like they had a ton of notable members to lose (Anasterian was the massive blow). Being a Sunstrider was enough that using Sin’Dorei would be redundant. I’m currently digging through e v e r y Warcraft III blood elf cutscene looking for the exact phrasing he uses when the declaration is made.

High elves are phenotypically and 95% culturally identical to high elves. It would be more accurate to use Thalassian elf as an interchangeable term (which would include Void Elves/Ren’dorei, which some would agree with and others would hate). But saying Blood elves and High elves are the same is correct with a big asterisk.

Nothing about Blood Elves is Communist aside from a fondness for the color red.

People can’t understand that “High Elf” is a race, and “Blood Elf” is a faction. When Blood Elves were introduced in TBC, they should have been called High Elves, but Blizzard made the mistake of officially calling the race the wrong name. The distinguishing of the racial name and faction wasn’t apparent, so Alliance players felt the High Elves should be their version, even though the Alliance kicked them out of their boy-band during the events of WCIII.

If we were going by the same principle, The Defias Brotherhood should be a Horde race called the Defias, since their situations were nearly identical.
