Why are Void Elves allowed in the Alliance?

[Sodia]

Well same as inviting evil undeads into the horde.

[schwarzkopf]

Because void = enemy of undead ?

[Deleted]

Because the Alliance doesn't actually WANT a war. They'll accept anyone willing to coexist with them. That's why Sylvanas' argument was kinda weak.

Tell that to forsaken, trolls, tauren, blood elves after garithos, nightborne.

[Sorshen]

Because people wanted high elves on Alliance, so Ion decided to teach them a lesson. And because asspulls are becoming common and thus not that shocking.

[AngerFork]

Why? Because the Alliance has finally come to the realization that since the Horde is willing to do whatever it takes to win this war, they need to as well. Between giving a home to a displaced army from space (Lightforged), repairing old bonds and facing execution (Jaina & Kul'Tiras), & mending long lost diplomatic ties and formally bringing an old foe into their ranks (Dark Iron Dwarves), the Alliance has started to show a willingness to put aside past issues and potential present problems in order to protect their place in Azeroth.

This brings us to the Void Elves. Silvermoon cast them out, they had no place anymore with the Blood Elves or the Horde. But Alleria saw them for what they were: victims of their own hunt for knowledge and power. The Alliance may not trust the Void itself, but they have shown a trust for Alleria, particularly with such a strong force of the Light as Turalyon by her side. If she says they are good and that she'll keep an eye on them, there's no real good reason for Anduin or the Alliance to turn them away, especially given what else they are willing to work through in order to win this war.

Garithos was never part of the Alliance.

[Fritters154]

The Blood Elves and Night Elves are at war. Are we supposed to believe that succumbing to the void is all it takes for a Blood Elf to be one of us? So if Nightborne start serving the Old Gods, those will defect to the Alliance? Draenei gotta love this.

Why would Draenei care? They were anti-legion primarily, and legion was the ultimate anti-void.

The Lightforged/Army of the Light doesn't necessarily like the void, but they were seemingly fine with keeping Alleria around despite her already interacting with it before the player character even met her.

[Sorshen]

Garithos was never part of the Alliance.

What's this, retcon hour?
He led the Alliance of Lordaeron survivors of the Third War.

[Ineluki]

Because the Alliance needed nightsparkle elves.

[Deleted]

They were an Illidari faction. But Illidari isn't playable.

The Alliance was hostile to them in WC3 and they had nothing to do with the Alliance in Vanilla. They were Neutral with one of them being Horde in stonetalon iirc.

Therefore they make more sense as a Horde race than an Alliance race.

If you played human in wc3, you literally had blood mage Hero and Dragonhawk Rider and Spellbreaker units. What are you talking about? They were loyal to alliance, not hostile at all.
You are just wrong on all accounts.

lol go home you're drunk

You're just doing the same mistake as me by feeding this user.
inb4 he calls you a desperate High Elf fan that wants them in the Alliance too (although no one was talking about that)

[SNES-1990]

"Because Alleria"

She's been missing for ages, why does she overrule the High King of the Alliance? Why wasn't there a discussion with fellow Alliance leaders?

[beanman12345]

Because they gave the horde the nightborne. They needed to give the alliance something that was at least an attempt on a race that was equally as desirable to play.

[Kraddark]

He led the Alliance of Lordaeron survivors of the Third War.

The Alliance of Lordaeron is not the current Alliance. Garithos was part of an organization named the "Alliance Resistance" which died with him. Grouping all these different Alliances together without acknowledging their differences is like combining the Old Horde, True Horde and current Horde.

[Adoxe]

High Elves were originally part of the Alliance and Varian tried to recruit them back into the Alliance back in MoP, Alliance doesn't hate them, Alleria returning and recruiting a bunch of void infused ones into the Alliance was a perfect opportunity and they took it. Real reason: People wanted High Elves, they found a way to give them without actually giving them.

Did you miss the whole conversation that Alleria has with Anduin about them?

[Aeula]

Garithos. Dalaran. The Dwarves under Garithos' command. All hostile.

[sillag]

because blizzard are too wrapped up in making everything epic and super awesome to give us allied races that are just normal races. everyone has to be fused with an element. lightforged, void elves, super arcane nightborne, highmountain with cenarius antlers. even dark irons went from gray guys with red eyes to having fire eyes and hair thats literally on fire all the time

the only reason alliance doesnt have high elves is blizzard thought they were too boring and that by fusing them with *throws dart at dartboard* the void they would become extra super epic and get tons of race change money

[Sumskittles]

So I guess you're just forgetting the part about alleria being imprisoned by that crazy naaru who tried to light "ascend" illidan huh.

The Alliance of Lordaeron is not the current Alliance. Garithos was part of an organization named the "Alliance Resistance" which died with him. Grouping all these different Alliances together without acknowledging their differences is like combining the Old Horde, True Horde and current Horde.

It's the same alliance, just with fewer reigns. If garithos isn't alliance neither Turalyon or Alleria are then.
