Highborne lore of ten millennia ago was Night Elf Lore. That’s 10,000 years of Night Elf lore the Highborne had nothing to do with.

Well, obviously if you compare the numbers, both 15 and 10,000 have 1 as the leftmost digit AND they are both divisible by 5. Don’t see how there’s much difference between the two.

Yes, we’re not fond of either of them…which now I guess is really three of them. They are the descendants of exiled arrogant Highborne who gave us the first visit from the Legion and the Sundering…and who even after that could not put away arcane.
they were probably a bit strained before that as well, what with the whole throwing them in prison thing

Wasn’t it because of the Highborne that attracted the Legion invasion?
Oh, oh! And they both share an infinite number of multiples!

This is true, but the highborne are back to nelf society since cata. Highborne lore still is nelf lore.
Yes, and is one of my favorite parts 
And some nelves still consider themselves highborne.
Yes, descendants. And some of these descendants have been alliance since warcraft 2.

Yeah, going back 10,000 years though.
The Shen’dralar have not been muted to the world for 10000 years. They’ve been with us for several years at this point.
The Nightborne were locked away in a bubble for 10000 years. They had a few people go out once in awhile, but they were affected by their Nightwell during that time and didn’t interact in any capacity with the outside world until Legion.
They’re (The Shen’dralar) not even the same group of Highborne as the Nightborne were.
This is a poor comparison to the High Elves and Blood Elves.
Highborne like they were during azshara’s kingdom doesn’t exist anymore, but we have nightborne (mutated highborne) and shen’dralar.
I’m not saying they are the same group, but both groups are highborne. Shen’dralar from Eldre’thalas and nightborne from Suramar.
I hope they add LoTR movie hairstyles to void elves to make them look more like High elves, but they have to keep the hair colors and skin tones darker than the ones blood elves have, to keep them different. All thalassian elves are high elves, aren’t they?
that doesn’t change the fact that that is not a comparison that makes any sense to the High Elves and Blood Elves. Their cultures are at best minorly changed. And they started in the same place. And they’re the same race still…
I’m for High Elves for the Alliance but this isn’t a comparable thing.
What’s nice though is that there isn’t any other established info about Half Elves. With a snap of their fingers Blizz could confirm it as canon, wouldn’t be the first time they’ve taken stuff from the RPG
Regarding Arator, I’d guess that nobody would bully a well respected paladin (the Alliance loves them some paladins), plus he’s the son of two incredibly famous Alliance heroes. Bullying him would be a bad idea. He’d make for a great Half Elf racial leader, though
Yeah, like 10 of them.
It’s not like they’re even playable.
Again, not playable.
Meanwhile the Horde has two of the three great Highborne cities and the only ones that aren’t at the bottom of the sea.
Highborne are a Horde thing.

Correction: Alliance loves them Male Human Paladins.

Are there even any dwarf paladins who matter?
I think they’re all in Ironforge getting drunk 
To be fair rampant alcoholism probably isn’t the best way to be promoted in a warrior-priest order.
Tell that to the Dwarves. They all love there ales after all.
