Snow Elves, Dark Elves, and Sea Elves?

[Rhlor]

As far as I know we have Dark Elves, and I'm pissed 'cause we can't choose them, it's the Undead Elves, that are like Vampires in WotLK.

you can have an undead elf! elf death knights are undead

The night elves are basically the benevolent version of drow, so there you go. They obviously don't live underground (but they like the night) and they don't worship a spider deity, but there are some other similarities, mainly the dark skin and the amazon vibe.

[Tyrannica]

But where is the Drow? No fantasy universe is complete without dark elves, I'm surprised Warcraft doesn't have any. Snow Elves? Don't have those either, and no sea elves too.

Warcraft; the fantasy universe with only two races of elf.

I'm gonna cry now.

The Drow are the Nightelves......you never visit R.A. Salvatores page? He commented on the wow Night Elves that they kinda copied his Drow Lore. Of course Night Elves are not as evil......and got that same style after all. ;>

[Alanar]

If it's not an elf, put it back on the shelf!
I want the guy who said this in here!

just kidding, I do LOVE the San'layn Elves tho. Their lore with the Blood queen vampiric race seems to be pretty cool!

Also Queen Azshara seems like a really interesting elf.

LoTR only had High Elves and Wood Elves right? no complaints there

[Talen]

Ok, so in just about every D&D universe, there multiple races of elf, right? Well I just noticed that in WoW, we have only like, three races. Ok, but let's break this down; High elves are basically uncorrupted Blood Elves are mageaholics, and night elves are the nocturnal, nature loving variations of elf.

Ok...

Not a lot of variety there.

Drow = Night Elf
Sea Elf = Naga
High Elf = High Elf

He's talking about the Sanyalian

And we don't need Snow Elves. We got something better then Snow Elves. We got the Vrykul, a much better snow/frost race.

They both have the whole matriarchy thing going on too.

There were only about five of them, and we killed them all.

[Verdugo]

They both have the whole matriarchy thing going on too.

They also cant fight worth a shit.

Which really differentiates them from sadistic underground-living rape machines I guess...

[Spl4sh3r]

You forget these mysterious Morning Elves

[OzoAndIndi]

Make light skinned/haired Blood Elf. Live in snowy region, congrats you have your snow elf. Who's probably also cold and mad at you for it.


Am I the only one that didn't even give a crap about elves until WoW? Even took me a while to discover that I liked them there. Though elves in other media still don't interest me all that much, they're just not WoW's elves.

Both Night Elves and Blood Elves had a stronger racial identity in WarCraft III.

Night Elves basically acted like Wood/Sylvian Elves by being savage, wild, untamed, and attuned with nature. And looked like Drow or Dark Elves. Giving WarCraft both archetypes.

Blood Elves were basically like Dark Elves, being sinister, vengeful, hateful, and using forbidden magics. Yet they looked like High Elves (mostly)

In my opinion, WC3 had a more interesting interpretation of these two races. Because in WoW, Night Elves are basically nature elves and Blood Elves are magic elves. And there are very little differences between them other than that at this point.

[Verdugo]

The ones who can't fight worth a shit are the rotting zombies that need Orcs to save their pathetic hides on the front they opened up.

Oh really? I thought it were the orcs that started giving lessons to Forsaken about suicide rushes.

Also, Night Elves needed their lamp-chinned overlord to save them because their idiotic leader turned herself into arrow-beacon midfight.

And what exactly are "snow elves" etc, how are they different to others?

They're just elves that live in cold places?

I seen elves in Winterspring. Boom! Snow elves.

[Lord Pebbleton]

Why should there be an elf for all occasions?
