So far it seems blood elves are been shown to hate even the highborne if cata is to go by, so it's not looking good - I know some of you are excited to see a nightborne vs blood elf in your classic dark elf v light elf, and seeing that the dark elves are on the alliance side and the light elves on the horde, it should make a previously 1-sided contest far more intriguing. But what if in another AU, there wasn't all this fighting - no elves picking sides in horde v alliance.
Or lets forget hostilities, and try not to view everything in horde v alliance language, do you think the blood elves would like the nightborne? be jealous of them? want to cease their power? make friends with them? dominate them? or a mixture of all the above? The elven nations keep growing, now we have like 6 sub-groups, night elf, highborne, nightborne, high elf, blood elf, darkfallen - they'are beginning to be as varied as the various human nations or orc clans.
Human nations/groups
Stormwind, Gilneas, Arathor, Kul'tiras, Dalaran, Lordaeron, Alterac = 7
Orcs:
Frostwolf, Warsong, Dragonmaw, Blackrock, Shadowmoon, Shattered Hand, [Mag'har, half-orcs] = 6, 8
Elves:
althought they are split into two main groups:
Elves of the night: night elf, highborne, nightborne:
Elves of the day: Blood elf, High Elf, Darkfallen
and it's split across both factions, it's still 6.
What if the Elves united? and became a faction two of their own? What races amongst the horde and alliance do you reckon will join them?
