And everyone in Quel’thalas was dead, and there were very few remaining living high elves.
The blood elves existing in large numbers outside Kael’s troops is a retcon, sure. But so is so many high elves being alive. I remember going from BC to Wrath. The Silver Covenant came out of nowhere. They were a retcon too.
Calling blood elves the splinter faction is ridiculous.
Going off their posts this poster seems to headcanon Blood Elves as the splinter group LOL.
Sounds an awful lot like the old weird fan fiction ideas they had of BEs being only on Outland, and being some weird invasive group of Elves that stole Quel’thalas from them.
Horde doesn’t generally like void elves because alliance players have been throwing a 13+ year long tantrum over blood elves being on the horde faction and saw void elves as being rewarded for the temper tantrum.
Personally-- void elves are fine to me. But I’m a player who thinks factions in general should go because I’m not a fan of how they’re ever written.
I’m talking about historically. The idea of it being ridiculous only makes sense after Burning Crusade. They’re the Elves who dipped to Outland. Then retconned into existence in Quel’thalas.
They start out as a Splinter Faction. Check out the Frozen Throne Instruction Manual where they’re like, “This is a group of High Elves.”
I’m pretty sure it is. What Blood Elf ingame calls themselves a High Elf? The game over and over again for years has recognized them as separate groups of Thalassians. Even as recently as Legion.
I was talking about historically. In WC3, Kael renamed all the high elves into blood elves. The fact that any elves remained with the name high elf was a retcon introduced in Vanilla WoW.
You know, blizzard should just make alleria go crazy and give all six of the remaining high elves a void injection and get over it. Void Elves are much more interesting than bland elves whose entire blank slate personality revolves around being human waifus.
I’m tired of people who don’t know lore spreading misinformation.
i like how there is a ‘high elf’ in org now. similar to that stormwind mage they put so much stock into. it has blue eyes so thats a different race correct? am i doing this right
