Why blood elves?

Community General Discussion

Undead I can understand rushing to defend Sylvanas. She is their racial leader. It makes sense.

But why is it that lately blood elves are the ones rushing to go defend Sylvanas as the one true savior of the horde? If she really is waging a war on life (I dont know man, stopped following the story a while back.) then they fall under that category. They are living.

Whats the point of defending someone that is clearly a homicidal maniac? Is it because she is their waifu?

So…a rhetorical question?

Although…

…it would be interesting to see if they, and the other members of the living Horde, can come up with a convincing reason for allowing her to continue leading them.

Were did they do that? Do you mean the community of Blood Elves or ingame?

Because there are still blood elves who look at her as the Ranger General who sacrificed her life trying to stop the Arthas’s assault on Quel’thalas.

Because they have wet dreams about her. All blood elves in-game will go up against her, starting with Lor’themar who’s already confirmed.

To be fair Lor’themar is just salty that Sylvie friendzoned him and got a taste of that human potential.

All elves succumb to Human Potential, sooner or later.

The community. A lot of blood elf players are making threads defending Sylvanas. In-game/story wise, I figure a large majority will be totally against her.

Well, Sylvanas literally saved the Blood Elves from the extinction by sacrificing herself and become what she’s now. It’s not a surprise if many would follow the savior of their people.

She defends Silvermoon for past ten years from neverending undead. Deathguard never sleep or got tired, can’t be really killed - so elfs don’t have to risk there at all. But now they kinda have to, unless sunwell could actually heal scar

and whole being a hero backstory, even though Lor’Themar can’t see that in her now (heritage armor questline)

She delayed the inevitable, Arthas wasn’t after exterminating high elves, he was after the Sunwell, and he got to Sunwell, her death didn’t serve them much, and surely not enough to justify her actions. They’ll crucify her soon.

Because of Sylvanas many people could escape from Quel’Thalas before the Scourge could get them. 90% of the population died. It would be probably 95-99% if Sylvanas wouldn’t be there.

And she personally lobbied Thrall to have them brought into the Horde, saving them again.

That was living Sylvanas, then we had forsaken Sylvanas, now we have Lich Queen Sylvanas, the moment she denied Derek Proudmoore free will, she crossed the line of being forsaken to becoming scourge.
Rule 1 of Forsaken: Free will is untouchable. Her own rule.

It’s because we’re all edgy 13-year-olds at heart. Some elves just want to watch the world burn. :deciduous_tree: :fire:

But it’s still kinda stupid a stupid statement. Who said that Derek should be a Forsaken? Is it only because he’s Undead? Oh sweet summer child, Sylvanas already allowed in vanilla to make Zombies.

Not this blood elf.
