    They have a touch of Night elf look to them. Could be me, but the ears look kinda elfish. Or it could be the look of the face that has that elf look to it.

    The Harronir, the missing link!?

    Also Earthen do not need to eat food is an amazing touch.

    No, I'd say it's the missing link between trolls and nelves, if it wouldn't be for quils and fur. I know that trolls in theory have a fur too, but even if you take Drakkari they don't look like furries.

    Ears are different, and the clothing style. There is a chance it's a hybrid of nelf and something else. Or completely differennt race alltogether.

    Gosh, just not another retcon with these weird creatures please.

    Also obligatory -> Earth is a terrible race pick for both factions, they are just dwarves+

    Well it's possible it's a missing link and just evolved differently, magic could always be part of the difference

    The missing link in elven evolution has been found!

    So many elves in this game, blood, high, night, blue, void, red, undead. At least that's about it, right?

    Blizzard: Drumroll please, Porcupine Elves.

    I really hope the Earthen have an option to not have those weird crystal cysts all over their bodies. It makes them look like they have some kind of gross STD.

    it doesn't make sense without a retcon, and they don't even have ANYTHING that resemble trolls they are suppose to come from.

    Adding new lore isn't a retcon unless it contravenes old lore, since we know nothing about harronir it's too early to use that word

    Think it through

    the lore is that dark trolls -> night elves

    not that dark trolls -> this fucked up thing -> night elves

    Its not even a good retcon, because these fucks don't look anything like trolls, while you can see how night elves look like trolls
