The Titans themselves have genders, so why not their creations?

Gender? It was about a change of appearance, right?
Okay, I misunderstood.
I mean most races have one of the two genders.
There are female stewards, and they have no sexual dimorphism that makes them different from the males. I think only the logic here is that humanoids would also share human characteristics, thatâs why female Nathrezim have human female characteristics. We donât know if the Nathrezim have always been an only male species, we have only interacted previous with males of the species.
Well, this IS the Story Forum, and the the current story is pretty stupidâŚ
Maybe that helps explain the low elven population. Bearing children is easier with actual child-bearing hips.
Or⌠thier low population could be the result of being almost wiped out in the third war.
Considering canonically the blood elves still havenât cleared the remaining Scourge out of the Ghostlands, or rebuilt Silvermoon, 10 years after the war I would imagine thier lack of rebuilding thier population relates back to the fact that they are still a very isolated kingdom still under threat of annihilation.
âŚwell, sure, there was that genocide thingie, but if only their females had had wider pelvises to begin with theyâd been capable of having children more frequently/easily, and been able to build up a larger population so that by the time of Arthasâ attack his forces wouldnât have been sufficient to successfully wipe out a full 90% of their race in the first place!
Wait, seriously, canonically in-game things havenât improved? Even with all the leaders of the Ghostlands Scourge and Amani Trolls wiped out and the Sunwell re-ignited at least a decade ago?
In the post Legion Three Sister Comic, the Windrunner sisters had to fight through Scourge to get to Winrunner Spire so yeah things havenât changed at all for the blood elves since TBC.
âŚbut thatâs stupid. Even stupider than BFA.

Whatâs even stupider is you still canât fly in Silvermoon or Ghostlands but you can fly in the rest of the Eastern Kingdoms.
Blood elves have been completely ignored since TBC.
U donât need hips to bear those skinny MFs
Silvermoon secretly has anti-mountcraft cannons to keep me from commencing an aerial invasion⌠(what the Blood Elves donât know is I sneak through the front door regardlessâŚ)

I think the reason we canât fly is explained that they repaired the Banâdinoriel, but it would be way cooler if we actually saw a huge dome over Quelâthalas, but that would require Blizzard updating itâs Silvermoon IP, which they havenât done since 2006.

Warlocks will have male incubus options for succubi.
Iâm still trying to figure out if the Twisting Nether and fel magic even exist or matter anymore after the parade of retcons to demon lore starting in Legion and continuing through Shadowlands. The efficacy of whether Nathrezim should have genders didnât even cross my mind.
Like if a DH dies in the Shadowlands does their soul get routed through Shadowlands bureaucracy? Or does it get zorped back into the Twisting Nether for us to crawl out of like Neo on a bender? Why do these large goth elves keep calling me a mortal when Iâve been told I have an immortal demon soul?
So many questions, there arenât enough pikachu faces to cover them all.

Certain Demon Hunters, like Illidan and the player character, have an âimmortal demon soulâ and go to the Twisting Nether when they die. The Venthyr you are talking to probably donât know that. And maybe, even a mortal Demon Hunter dying in the Shadowlands works the same as it does for everybody else.

Also when the central narrative isnât explicitly stating otherwise, the player is basically a stand-in for any Illidari demon hunter among the âChampions of Azeroth.â Youâre only specifically the demon hunter in charge of the Illidari (i.e. âThe Slayerâ) when the story deliberately calls back to it. Only the Slayer, Illidan and Varedis are confirmed as having immortal demon souls (though Loramus Thalipedes might be, or his resurrections could be tied explicitly to the unique circumstances of his deaths/revivals, and there are some potential implications that the Blind Hunter in the Brawlerâs Guild might be a returned Leotheras), so most demon hunters arenât sufficiently corrupted to have become full-fledged demons with their souls anchored to the Twisting Nether.

Arenât the Venthyr supposed to be able to âsmellâ auras though? Youâd think their aura sense would notice something different about the nathrezimized elf busting with two/merged souls and so much fel magic she glows in the dark.
At this point though I wouldnât be shocked if Blizzard decided fel and the Twisting Nether were created by the Nathrezim in some gag 5D chess move that moves the plot where Blizzard wants it to go.
