About these dark elves

[gurutikka]

lol.. If they actually did their studies in Silvermoon the sunwell would have been turned void and a void lord would have been ushered into Azeroth.. If you didn't notice their ritual that they did failed.. So it proves Lor'themar was right. They were way over their heads in powers that they didn't understand. Lorthemar saved the Sin'dorei by banishing them. If they really wanted to "protect their people" then they should have stayed neutral in the war.

It's impossible for them to be neutral because Alleria would get upset if they didn't choose to fight the horde. Also, I see no issue with them fighting the horde as long as they don't fight the blood elves. So void elves can still kill non-blood elf horde targets without killing their own people.

[Kaver]

The fact they betrayed their people to pursue an evil power that would destroy their home makes them evil. They are treasonous and should have been killed on the spot. Now they work for the Alliance the direct enemy of their homeland.

You can’t be evil towards evil. Betraying the Horde makes you good. Siding with Sylvanas makes you evil.

[gurutikka]

I don't think the Void Elves have a choice in the matter, even if they wanted to remain neutral and not fight the Horde, Alleria wouldn't be happy with that.

Also, the Void Elves can still kill other Horde races without harming Blood Elves no? So I don't see any issue with that.

[Dellis0991]

Why? How are they treasonous? Probably to Blood Elves, but they aren't treasonous to the remaining races of the Horde. I mean I get that blood elves think they are traitors but I have not seen any non-blood elf horde races say that to them.

They are traitors....void research is forbidden so Umbric and his lackeys were exiled, usually exile comes with the stigma of being a traitor, secondary Umbric being using the void to cast the horde emissaries into the void which are made of of the other races of the horde (-_-)...... they are being sent to the fucking void...

[gurutikka]

void elves really have no reason to be neutral against horde, since they weren't really part of the horde and only lived in silvermoon as blood elves, they are only seen as traitors to their fellow people, the blood elves. So void elves can kill other horde races if they want. The horde didn't do shit for them. And they were never part of the horde.

Think the Void will swirl them to the left or right before hitting the drain?

Those blood elves see void elves as filth who need to be purged from Azeroth. Go ahead and stand there your "brothers and sisters" will plant a hammer in your skull.

Wrong. I think Void Elves are insanely cool. The fact they can de-materialize their own bodies and teleport meters away is fucking amazing. No blood elf can accomplish such a feat.

A mage can do that with ease.

eh hem... Mages have a spell called "Blink". Maiev a night elf rips through dimension basically with her teleport too. It isn't unique to void elves... its just purple colored.

[gurutikka]

A mage. That's 1 class. A ranged caster class. Which lore wise requires a lot of skill and learning and affinity to magic. Could a warrior do that? Nope! Only Void Elf warriors/rogues etc can do that. Good luck teaching the art of de-materialization to a melee class/race that is NOT void elf.

It is unique because the void elves use the void to de-materialize themselves. Mages don't use void energy for teleportation. Mages use arcane.

[BaumanKing]

Ironically void elves are much more noble and altruistic, than blood elves (unlike Liadrin, Alleria never orders a player to commit a war crime). While they are infused with a tremendously dark force that has been known to subject its wielders to insanity, void elves are firm believers in the core ideals of the Alliance and pledge to use it for the protection of Azeroth.

[Super Kami Dende]

Oh look guys we’re hungry for some dark power that is known to fuck up people’s minds, can destroy our renewed Sunwell and basically bring destruction on all of us but you know - we’re going to use it for the good stuff like the void has always been used to 100% of the time.

Swap Void with Fel and you just explained Demon Hunters.

Wow what a coincidence, that's exactly what the High elves think of the blood elves for consuming demonic magic which almost lead to the summoning of a Demon lord onto our planet... And the blood elves still condone Warlocks... Now that I think of it wasn't it the Undead with their unholy magic that brought their nation low and lead to them almost being wiped out? well the death knights aren't so bad... lets let them back in! But at least we got the filthy Shadow Magic users out! well not ALL of them we still need our shadow priests...

At this point the blood elves are one of the biggest jokes around... Hell If Alleria hadn't taken the Void elves in, Sylvanas probably would have... I can see it now... "Yes I know you banished them Lor'themar, and I will be sure to let you know when I start giving a dam about what you think, now shut up and do as you are told."

• Absorbing a "forbidden power".
• Ostracised by their original society because of "forbidden power".
• Physical changes brought on by their power.
• Can become mentally unstable, has some "failed" members who have gone off the deep end.
• Can "give in" and become possessed by their power at any time.
• Has a special form they can go in to (Meta and Entropic Embrace)

Hmmm, turns out Void Elfs are even less original/unique than previously thought.

You mean "we are corrupted but our Willpower lets us use our power for good" isn't a new trope?

[RobertMugabe]

lol.. They were banished because if it wasn't for "what a coincidence I got here just in time " by Alleria they literally would have doomed themselves and potentially brought void lord into the elven lands through their own stupidity for not listening to Lorthemar's warnings and doomed everyone. Alliance can't cry about necromancy if they are fine with the void. Void elves are a stain on this franchise. It's embarrassing.

Nah, you're only being triggered by video game lore. You're only embarrassing yourself here.

btw. The Void Elfs were outcast by Lor'themar's regime and if anything, it was Lor'themar who betrayed his faction, the Alliance.

This applies to all other elf races besides Night Elfs(?), except for maybe the last point.

[Raetary]

Not evil, just wielders of Void.
The Blood Elves are the evil elves considering they banished them for no reason.

They took up the teachings of the guy that caused the downfall of their kingdom, they were a direct threat to the sunwell and silvermoon.

They are traitors and morons.

The high elves had left the Alliance after the second war and still supported the Alliance during the third, not a single human risked their neck to try and help Quel'thalas. The kingdom is razed and 90% of the people die. Directly afterwards the citizens are renamed blood elves and 15% of the surviving population set out to fight in Lordearon and are used as canon fodder by the remaining Alliance leadership in Lordaeron, ultimately imprisoned and slated for execution, while their oldest ally Dalaran stood by and did nothing, then they break out and any semblance of Alliance between the kingdom and the Alliance as a whole are done.

Several years later the elves seek help to reach Outland and open negotiations with both Alliance and Horde, they are still neutral and the Alliance sends a force occupying Thalassian territory, spy and possibly sabotage key defenses, killing anyone who gets to close to the occupied territory. Only after that ordeal do they formally join the horde.

That happened after they were exiled. The Blood Elves turned their backs on them, Umbric only wanted to find more ways to protect Quel'thalas. Many salty Hordies who would love the aesthetics of the race, if they somehow ended in the Horde (in a non exile scenario), and would probably race change many of their BE to VE seem to confuse the difference between treason and exile.
