    Tittle says it all. And no amount of denial from alliance players will change that.

    Doesn't mean they won't keep trying. Unless something drastic happens in the lore to foreclose their hopes (fingers crossed, it might).

    If a High Elf returns to Silvermoon for good, he is automaically a Blood Elf as he accepts the current direction and regime operating out of Quel'thalas.

    This has been clear from day one. Many high elves returned to Silvermoon becoming blood elves, and many left Silvermoon or were exiled/deserted becoming high elves once more.

    You are politically a high elf if you leave the Quel'thalas regime and ESPECIALLY if you join up with the alliance. By default ALL VOID ELVES - whether they have been blood elves for the past 5 years or not, are now high elves politically because they have left Silvermoon as exiles.

    If a Thalassian elf is exiled he becomes a high elf again. It's a politically disposition. His eyes don't have to be green or blue. We've been told many times, not ALL blood elves eyes are green, just that most are. And not all high elves' eyes are blue either.

    By default all void elves are politically high elves. Void elf is the sub-race type, high elf is the political affliation. If you are playing a void elf in the next expansion, good luck to you, you are a high elf politically. It doesn't matter if you were blood elf for the last 10 years, or from the start of the movement, or you joined much later. You rejoined the alliance and are now politically a high elf.

    Void elf is a high elf sub-race. Technically speaking it CANNOT be blood elf one.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Technically speaking, all darkfallen are high elves, blood elves were the majority of survivors. Also not all high elves are allied with the alliance, some are about doing weird shit and not very good shit either, they are not blood elves because they never joined up with the Sin'dorei movement - an example would be the necromancers in scholomance, they are all high elves. Cultists you saw in vanilla are all high elves too. Blood elves are a particular group of high elves united under this new purpose and they have control of Quel'thalas and Silvermoon City. They are possibly the largest group of the race.

    However if you count all the unaffliated high elves together, including the sub-race ones like the Darkfallen and void elves, then who knows.

    Most Fel elves are BLOOD ELVES, like pretty much all. The vast majority of Wretched are also blood elves. Only the Quel'lithien lodge wretched are high elves.
    Well technically, Blood Elves are High Elves, they just changed their name.

    That is actually the right way round, but since most are familiar with blood elf as it's the playable race, they'd recognise it more if stated the other way round

    Garithos was acting supreme commander due to being the highest ranked officer remaining, not officially appointed. Just like how Turalyon took up that position on the battlefield by assuming command. Turalyon wasn't formally promoted until after the Horde was defeated and DP destroyed.

    Yeah. There is also the problem with that whole "Fel changed them" thing. Well Yes Fel was starting to change them untill the Sunwell was restored by a Naaru's heart while it s unknown if the eyes will ever change the souls of the blood elves are cured from the corruption. Making the distinction between the high elves and the blood elf only cultural at this point. They are the same race. And in fact probably there are even less high elves than the void elves these days.

    What Blizz should have done is had the Void Elves come from a group of High Elves, instead of coming from a group of Blood Elf rejects. Their origin easily could have been Alleria going to the Quel'Lithien Lodge to "save" the High Elves there from their wretched state by introducing them to the void, and then BAM, there you have your new allied-race.
