Blood elves, high elves and what could have been

[Deleted]

This was not the choice they were offered, demonic magic wasn't even mentioned to those on Azeroth, it was just about draining mana from manabearing vermin.



Yes Void is unquestionably worse

It is universally distrusted and despised across the globe the only ones who do not shun it are the followers of the old gods, aka the twilights hammer.



The high elves are connected to the sunwell, they don't suffer from magical addiction. Lor'themar allows them access.

I'm preetty sure High Elves and Blood Elves still feel withdrawal even with the Sunwell restored, as they cannot be standing next to it all the time. Otherwise Blood Elves could have stopped draining mana from living things by now.

No, both are basic hunger which if not sated kills you.

No, if that was a fact ALL high elves would have been dead by now.

They don't need to stand next to it, they are literally connected to it no matter where they are.

[Friendlyimmolation]

Being deprived of the sunwell only killed children, the old and the sick.

[Arrashi]

No, if that was a fact ALL high elves would have been dead by now.

If you had any knowledge of lore you would know that high elves (the few of them) survived by draining mana from mana crystals and small artifacts. So no, strong will doesn't mean jack shit.

[SOURCE NEEDED] on the first thing.

Yeah, explain the wretched to me then. High elves, if i'm not mistaken, use mana gems, right?

It would be very unfortunate if the leaders of the faction they are AT WAR with suddenly decided to cut access.

Also, source for this claim? The Sunwell restored with holy light only brings hope the blood elves will be cured of their addiction. They still draw mana.

I clearly remember reading from War of the Ancients that Rhonin recalls that if an ancient Night Elven mage was afar from the Well of Eternity, he would be useless.

Yea, source also needed on to disprove it.

SO basically. Strong will is required for one to be a vegan and resist using animals for food.

High elves are basically mana vegans.

Read shadow of the sun, high elves can feel the sunwell again even outside of quel’thalas, they just. Didn’t know what it was at first because it was changed.

Edit. Refusing to use mana also lead to physical and mental damage, so a lot like super vegans most high elves are fucking batty.

That's not how burden of proof works. You have to prove your claim, it's not up to me to disprove it.

Blood of the highborne, Shadow of the sun they also said on bliizzcon the well even transcends into alternate realities, with the blood knights drawing power from it during WoD. All elves were connected to the well of eternity during WotA, the legion cut the night elves off at one point and the army became lethargic Malfurion then rekindled the connection.

All elves were connected to the well of eternity back then, the legion cut the night elves off at one point and the army became lethargic Malfurion then rekindled the connection.

Also this.

Which is why it’s so surprising the sindorei don’t threaten the high elves with cutting them from the sunwell

High elves are basically mana vegans.

Then check how long can you ignore your need to breathe on strong will alone.

They obviously still care somewhat.

[Rhlor]

Keep in mind one is addiction which can be resisted, the other is just basic hunger which if not sated kills you.

false!! the children and the olds were dying !!

They felt it for sure. Does it say somewhere if it is also able to feed their addiction?

Until the end of my life, I would assume.

Aurora says she no longer needed help to cope and that the pangs had lessened and Lor'themer tells her people will need some time to adapt to the new sunwell.

That would be pretty short and unimpressive then.

No, until you pass out so that your brain can turn autopilot on.

One side claimed one thing, the other claimed another. None brought proof. We are at an impasse.

[Zulkhan]

This is factually incorrect... When the Blood Elves were still High Elves, Uther the Lightbringer had a pupil named Mehlar Dawnblade, he was a High Elf Paladin, before the Blood Knights ever existed.

One pupil getting his first reference in WoW does not serve as convincing precedent. Of all the things High Elves were known for being "Paladins" was not one of them. Rangers? Mages? Priests? Widely known for all that stuff, not for being Pallies though.

I can use something to choke me out if my will to not breathe is strong enough. Some autonomous body processes will not stop me.
