The current high elves did not want to follow the teaching that Rommath brought back form Kael, so they skipped out of town.
The High elves still need the well, and they are closer to Alliance than anything. The void elves I dare say the void elves may still be in need of it. I'm not entirely sure on that one though. They were able to sustain themselves b draining magical energies from creatures, so maybe they can sustain themselves with the void energies they are now stuck channeling.
I am no fan of the Alliance, but I seriously don't think they would mess with that well. The Alliance seems to honor bound to me. They want to protect their lands, even fight to get some back. But to flat out but an entire race into dire straights I do not see happening.
At the VERY least I would hope that Velen would be able to argue against it. We already know Anduin is going to be leading the charge against the void at some point, due to a vision of Velen's. Do they really want to potentially destroy a huge fighting force. Not just defeat, but eradicate?
But I said before though I so believe that if a fight came to Silvermoon, the only elves that would not defend it are the purple ones who like blowing up the world. Void, High, Shal, Blood would all want to defend the well. It sustains them all.
P.S. Leave my elves alone, sheesh
The except to that last statement is possible the void elves. They may not need to well to sustain them anymore, but the whole reason for their taking on the void was to protect their people and land. They joined the Alliance for Alleria's teachings of control over the void after their screw up. Fight the Horde? Sure, the blood elves aren't exactly in the horde due to so amazing loyalt. they were practically black mailed into the Horde, and then they were about to leave and Hellscream was clever enough to put a stop to that. Yeah I can se the void elves fighting the Horde as a whole, but a battle directly against their kin, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives, nah.
