Stuffiest most pompous looking race

[Mace]

So recently went to a raid, and actually had a look at the different races.. and i must say , imo, Night elf/Nightborne look the most stuffy and arrogant, especially the females.

But what's your opinion?

[Calfredd]

That you are probably bored and taking a break from arguing about elves.

Nightborne because they are the last "noble caste" of elves left.

[Varodoc]

Elves are obviously the most pompous-looking race, this is not surprising. They are obviously the most beautiful and attractive race, so it makes sense that they are also pompous and confident in their looks.

In terms of this kind of scaling, I would say that it goes as follows

Nightborne > Void elves > Blood elves > Night elves

Nightborne are easily the most pompous, they usually are bare-chested to show off their Arcane tattoos, they have squinting eyes that reflect their arrogance and snob behaviour, they also go around barefoot because they are that arrogant.

Next we would have the Void elves, their Heritage armour actually doesn't cover their vital parts as they are bare-chested, this is so that the less-beautiful races can gaze at their chiselled physique, which indicates that they are chads (which makes sense, they are the first mortals in history to have successfully defied the Shadows' whispers). Their Heritage armour also comes with angelic Void wings and even a Void halo, which is just badass and gives them a God-like look.

Then we have Blood elves, they are descendants of the original Highborne and would naturally be pompous and arrogant. The Highborne created the greatest mortal empire in Azeroth's history, after all. It makes sense that their descendants find pride in the accomplishments of their noble ancestors. This argument would naturally apply to Void elves too, but I would argue that Void elves are, in general, more ambitious than Blood elves, as they are willing to mess with powers that even the Blood elves fear.

Finally we have Night elves, I actually don't think they would be as arrogant and pompous as the other elves, although clearly they are still more beautiful than the non-elven races. Their millennia spent skulking in the wilderness has made them more savage and feral-like, they have devolved to become closer to the savage trolls, as a result they are not as pompous, vainglorious, and arrogant as the other Elves, who directly retain their Highborne ancestry. The playable NEs are, after all, the rebels, the peasants, the common folk who rebelled against the Highborne. While the Blood and Void elves are the descendants of the exiled Highborne of Zin-Azshari, and the Nightborne are actually the original Highborne of Suramar, who were mutated by the Arcane energies of the Nightwell.

Night elves never devolved, that was the whole point, they are the elves that remain as elevated as they once were. as you can see, those who continued using arcane magic and living in incredible fancy cities look exactly the same as those "skulking" around in the forest.

High elves devolved - due to the strain of the exile and cutting off form the Well of Eternity and blessings of Nordrassil. Though with the sunwell, and later the void, they get boosted, though not to pre-sundering kaldorei levels.

Nightborne got mutated due to the abusive use of the night well. You know this though. The corruption of the Nightwell extended their arcane powers but diminished them in other areas, The Arcan'dor brings them back into balance by the time we play them.

I've never thought of night elves as savage, to me they are more like high civilization people who've been there and gone past it - fancy cities, high magic, no big deal, they are willing to lay aside the best things if the cause demands it, this is actually very special i feel. They can be high society or savage s the need requires - because they are fucking intelligent and do what their circumstance or the situation demands. And is why I exalt the kaldorei over the Shen'dralar Highborne for example despite the latter's incredible prestige and capabilities spoken of in the empire time.

Eldre'Thalas Night elves =/= Night elves who followed Tyrande and Malfurion

The Eldre'Thalas Night elves obviously still consider themselves Highborne, but the Night elves who followed Tyrande and Malfurion and lived around Mount Hyjal obviously don't.

And it's to THIS SECOND GROUP that Elisande says this:

Elisande says: Kaldorei? You disgrace a glorious past, hiding in trees and cloaking yourselves in false piety. You have grown as savage as the trolls that skulk about your forests.

She is specifically talking to Tyrande and the Sentinels, so to the group of Night elves who opposed the Highborne and lived in the wilderness of Ashenvale and Hyjal.

Bringing up Mordent Evenshade and the Eldre'Thalas Highborne is pointless because I am clearly not talking about them. They have too little screentime to be judged accordingly.

The group led by Tyrande and Malfurion did not have a city for 10000 years, when the ancient empire was known for its large cities (Zin-Azshari, Suramar, Eldre'Thalas, etc.). It shunned Arcane magic, the magic of Order. It shunned the powers of the Well of Eternity that were the source of the Empire in the first place.

High elves devolved

Obviously not in terms of culture, as Silvermoon was built to honour the memory of the ancient empire as evidenced by its very name, to begin with.

I've never thought of night elves as savage

Obviously not compared to the other races (humans, dwarves, orcs, tauren, trolls, etc.).

Compared to the other elves, they are indeed more savage-like. Notwithstanding the Eldre'Thalas Highborne, who are biologically Night elves, but are obviously different culturally from the Night elves that lived in Northern Kalimdor.

and druids are not savage either, just because they live in caves and trees

Irl, someone who lives in a cave or in a tree is called a "primitive caveman".

I am aware that the Night elves are also proud, as Maiev stated with pride that the Night elves exterminated any race that stood in the way. Nevertheless, in terms of AESTHETICS and DESIGN, they are not as pompous and vainglorious as the Suramar and Thalassian elves.

[Soon-TM]

So recently went to a raid, and actually had a look at the different races.. and i must say , imo, Night elf/Nightborne look the most stuffy and arrogant, especially the females.

But what's your opinion?

Nelf/NB are good contenders, but Draenei fit the bill too, especially the LF ones. Their heritage armour makes them look quite haughty, especially on females.

[Mace]

Then we have Blood elves, they are descendants of the original Highborne and would naturally be pompous and arrogant. The Highborne created the greatest mortal empire in Azeroth's history, after all. It makes sense that their descendants find pride in the accomplishments of their noble ancestors. This argument would naturally apply to Void elves too, but I would argue that Void elves are, in general, more ambitious than Blood elves, as they are willing to mess with powers that even the Blood elves fear.

Remember these Highborne are all night elves, and it was all night elves that made the empire as great as it was.. or where do you think the inspiration to create such beautiful buildings comes from if not the Priesthood building temples to the goddess,, or the very study of the arcane that leads to such progress if not the priesthood who wanted to reach out to Elune initially believing she dwelt in the waters of the Well of Eternity - and let's not forget the conquest of Kalimdor is spear headed by the priestly Night warrior who is the deciding factor in their victory.. and let's not forget all the contribution nature has to the empire, without learning nature, there would be no treants and Ancients working with the night elves, and without them, the Empire would not exists as it was as it was nature and arcane magic employed by Ancients (night elven nature users were not advanced enough ack then) and Highborne mages (also night elves).


And you must stop thinking of druids as savages, really, think of them more like PhD nature researchers in nature and the magic of nature... just because they no longer dwell in cities or prefer the nature confines of caves and trees to best attune to the nature they study..doesn't make them simple, nor savage.


Look they really wrote amazing stories for the elves, it's a shame people who love high elves tend to adopt the in-game looking down at night elves, mixed with a lot of mis-understanding - - I read a lore article about the Shen'dralar, which was really accurate except for a few minor details, referred to all the survivors at Hyjal as common.. this was far from the case, there were Highborne, nobles, priest caste, Moonguard as well as common folk. All elves should celebrate night elves, cos that's where all come from, and the existing ones today have much all fans should be proud of for what they did after the sundering

Eldre'Thalas Night elves =/= Night elves who followed Tyrande and Malfurion

The Eldre'Thalas Night elves obviously still consider themselves Highborne, but the Night elves who followed Tyrande and Malfurion and lived around Mount Hyjal obviously don't.

And it's to THIS SECOND GROUP that Elisande says this:

Well Elisande is fighting a war, and those words are meant to disrupt and discourage her opponents, as if the high priestess of Elune would fall for it. Still, what they have lost would sting hte night elves, but then the disgrace and shame of being chronically addicted to the arcane and then letting the legion filth though is enough to vindicate their life choices over their former kin.

Still, the Night elves who followed Tyrande, Illidan and Malfurion came from all backgrounds, some were highborne, Moonguard, many were the Priest caste, and nobles too like Lord Ravencrest and his house - so to think they were all lowborne like Malfurion and Illidan would be incorrect. Illidan rises to lead the Moonguard, Malfurion saves the world and proves to be a scholar of incredible intellect and wisdom, in another time line with a Queen that was not evil or seduced by it, they'd certainly have been raised to the Highborne class - remember the caste did not start off being "born " Highborne, they picked the most talented and skilled night elves, of which you can certainly see Stormrage and Whisperwind qualify, which is why in Wolfheart, the Shen'dralar are full of respect for Malfurion.

You also realise many of the first druids were indeed former Moonguard/Highborne themselves and turn to druidism becasue they, the mages including Malfurion who if you read the books, does cast arcane spells and is quiet good with magic even though he is not a mage, all agree together, Highobrne, Moonguard, Malfurion, Preistess, that they must not use their magic to prevent the legion from returning.

it's not a "lowborne" thing, everyone felt that was the right thing, including Darth'remar. Illidan is the only one with the foresight immediately then to know it would be pointless and that giving his people the well would be their best chance against a Legion that would surely return. But they didn't have the insight he did, and they arrest him and imprison him before he can share, thinking him a legion agent for restoring the Well - they feel he intended to summon the Legion back. but the reader is shown exactly what the case is.

She is specifically talking to Tyrande and the Sentinels, so to the group of Night elves who opposed the Highborne and lived in the wilderness of Ashenvale and Hyjal.

Yes, she is goading them. Who do you think sows the taunting and derogatory marks in the night elf camps, posing as blood elves? It is Nightborne using their illusions, just like we posed as nightborne to infiltrate the camps and sow discord. they get exposed in the quest immediately following the one where you remove the expletives elves are using against each other - as if Elves would do that sort of thing, yet it almost succeeds.

And why does it almost succeed, because telling night elves they are liek trolls or savages is very offensive to them, as is telling blood elves they are addicts when they've been free of all that, if it wasn't untrue and as such offensive it would not have been used.

Elisande saying that as much to Tyrande is not a statement of truth to the state of the Kaldorei, it's a goad, a taunt, meant to force errors and cause a charge that would lead them straight into the trap she sets, It's more effective becuase it appears to be true. There are humans and other races watching this too.

Anyway, the speech was re-written btw. The first builds of the alpha of 7.l1 had things differently. Vereesa was the one doing the World quests in Suramar for the alliance not Tyrande, and Elisande goads Tyrande with Malfurion - but this gets changed as it is at this time they decide the nightboren will not die out but continue as a playable race. If you were not aware, we were originally going to wipe ALL of them out, only the Nightfallen would survive, whom i suspect would have been restored to night elven apperance on eating the fruit in 7.1, this gets changed to nightborne (which if you think about it, doesn't maek sense, the fruit is supposed to remove the effects of the Nightwell, bringing them back into balance, so how do they lose the death sentence but keep the mutated form?) - that's because it was changed last minute, and not properly worked through.

Bringing up Mordent Evenshade and the Eldre'Thalas Highborne is pointless because I am clearly not talking about them. They have too little screentime to be judged accordingly.

The group led by Tyrande and Malfurion did not have a city for 10000 years, when the ancient empire was known for its large cities (Zin-Azshari, Suramar, Eldre'Thalas, etc.). It shunned Arcane magic, the magic of Order. It shunned the powers of the Well of Eternity that were the source of the Empire in the first place.

Yes, fair enough, but remember there are many amongst that group who were former Highborne and mages too, some of which return to this when the Shend'ralar return and the ban on Highborne lifted.

Tyrande disbands the Highborne caste amongst the Hyjal survivors, but there they are still referring to Highborne 3,000 years later when Darth'remar is exiled. /shrug. this should show you that although there is no place fo the old caste system in the post-sundering group, everyone still remembers who and where they were. as evidneced by the Sunstrider group and 7,000 years later, those who return to being Highborne.

Obviously not in terms of culture, as Silvermoon was built to honour the memory of the ancient empire as evidenced by its very name, to begin with.

indeed, and it was named Silvermoon, long before the TBC lore that makes high elves very angry with night elves is written. You would recall that no such animosity exists in WC3 TFT, where Tyrande recalls the debt they owe Darth'remar from the war of the Anceints, the book that was also rwritten throguhout the development of WC3 - yes that tirlogoy, although ti cmae out around the time of wow's release, was commisisoned when WC3 was being written. The entire night elf story as an arcane empire and people is not a post wc3 devleopment, but is part of the original intention of the race. Whch is why the very manual released with the game speaks about the and the legion, the books are written throughout the time. Players get to experience the night elves in the game, but finally get the full story details later.

Obviously not compared to the other races (humans, dwarves, orcs, tauren, trolls, etc.).

Compared to the other elves, they are indeed more savage-like. Notwithstanding the Eldre'Thalas Highborne, who are biologically Night elves, but are obviously different culturally from the Night elves that lived in Northern Kalimdor.

I think they just appear more savage like, rather than actually are - even based on how they live - if you look closely and follow them in the lore and how blizzard have developed them to date, it would only seem savage .

The priests, and the people have not forgotten civilization, nor magic, as both the existence of Darnassus and enough willing candidates re-joining the returned Shen'dralar prove.. and druids are not savage either just because they live in caves and trees - it is a philosophical difference between them and the rest of their kin, to them nature is the one with astounding complex beauty, especially the forest, for which fancy garments and elf built homes are but crude imitators, despite their great skill. It must be noted that, I don't think Priests or other night elves share this view off course, only druids dress in simple so called humble clothing, I would think if they could they'd probably go naked, as the natural form is all the beauty you need ;P

You should think of them more like monks, just because they live secluded or seemingly simple lives, does not make them simple at all, the lore shows and proves to you these are both highly intelligent and learned people - this is how nature magic gets forged into a discipline called druidism, it took the mind and intelligence of a scholar like Malfurion, and many of the first druids were former mages, Moonguard and Highborne, some which return to that calling in cataclysm - these aren't savages or ignorant people but people who've made a lifestyle adjustment and applied their considerable knowledge and education now to nature in the absence of being able to continue their arcane studies.

But as for arrogance - look at the female night elf model- then think of Maiev, or even Tyrande - humility is not what comes to mind, especially Maiev.

Saying that, yes, i do concur that the high elves would consider them savage, not because they are off course, but it's more because of the exile, and a slur too, just lke the call them superstitious, stagnant/stagnated etc - which isn't true at all, but on the surface might appear to be so.

Irl, someone who lives in a cave or in a tree is called a "primitive caveman".

I am aware that the Night elves are also proud, as Maiev stated with pride that the Night elves exterminated any race that stood in the way. Nevertheless, in terms of AESTHETICS and DESIGN, they are not as pompous and vainglorious as the Suramar and Thalassian elves.

That may be so for humans of the day. But dragons live in caves in this fantasy land and certainly are not savage. And these night elven caves actually have furnishings of simple but beautifully carved artifacts and equipment, they are actually homes beings live in.. they don't sleep in the dirt They have libraries, books, spend extensive time in research and and magical work, with dragons and ancients. This is a step up from the empire days, even though to a human or ignorant person it seems the opposite when you compare it to their magical wonder cities like Zin'Azshari or Suramar many of those same cave dwelling Night elves, like Malfurion himself and cocky Maiev, come from

[Maleific]

Nightborne hands down. I love arrogant elves lol.

[Flatspriest]

I think the Night Elves are the most arrogant as they look down on every other race as inferior, including the Nightborne and Blood Elves who are descended from them.

[Mace]

Nelf/NB are good contenders, but Draenei fit the bill too, especially the LF ones. Their heritage armour makes them look quite haughty, especially on females.

Oh yes, omg, Draenei - and zandalari - Draenei have like the cockiest walk of the game models - it's so POMPOUS !!

You bet, although the nightborne aren't really descended from them, the Nightborne are mutated night elves. The Blood elves are descended from them.

Tyrande considers the other elves .. "derivative" elves - in what clearly apepars like scorn if you speak to her or I think poke her in the Stormwind Embassy.

[Maleific]

Night elves never devolved, that was the whole point, they are the elves that remain as elevated as they once were. as you can see, those who continued using arcane magic and living in incredible fancy cities look exactly the same as those "skulking" around in the forest.

Devolved? Surely you mean evolved. As their changes are adaptations not a regression.

[Flatspriest]

Devolved? Surely you mean evolved. As their changes are adaptations not a regression.

I think they were role-playing being a night elf. Nelfs think that all other elf races are lesser beings even though they evolved from the nelves. They adapted to survive where the Nelves decided that they were the pinnacle of the species and every other version is a devolution. If that were the case, then they would be Blood Trolls since the Nelves evolved from trolls in the first place.

[Grazrug]

I vote all the elves. They have a regal look to them.

[Ramz]

I had to double check the description because most of the replies didn't make sense to me.

Characterized by excessive self-esteem or exaggerated dignity; pretentious.Full of high-sounding phrases; bombastic.Characterized by pomp or stately display.

Pompous is a person that likes to dwell in big groundbreaking moments, likes to make over the top dramatic speech to highlight importance of things but tends to do it for self-persumed heroic reasons and is incredibly pretentious by doing so. So to me humans and draenei fit the bill the most. But Humans have an edge. We have the biggest amount of examples, so crown goes to them imo. It has nothing to do with how they look or how they walk. It's entierly the way they talk.
To make it more blunt - Pompous, is a behaviour you'd expect coming from paladin. a human paladin mostly.

When it comes to vein and arrogant, then NB and belves take the bill, but Pompous? They do like to talk ALOT. Belf leader couldn't shut up on Isle of Thunder, he kept talking and talking, and then talking some more. And Keal'Thas had probably the longest dying speech in game. But Keal'thas speech was anything by pompous, and LTT speech was a drag that's for sure, but it wasn't pompous. Velves aren't pompous, they lots most of annoying traits b/helves had and are either more reserved or completely coocoo.

Zandalari if you have in mind proud and confident, they're also arrogant too - but pompous? They like to dwell on their glory, but it mostly comes from pride. They don't do it for the sake of sounding bigger, their confidence was based on lots of factors, which made them a big player. Sure, BfA did a lot of damage, but they shown that they can adapt and improve. Even if you look at at their leaders, the way they talk - it's usually on point. Rastakhan maybe to some degree, depending at how you look at his pride mixed with charisma and big self-esteem, but it was mostly to highlight his King role.

[Zuben]

My vote goes for the Zandalari. Elves are pompous, yes, but they have a sophisticated elegance about it. Zandalari's is more primitive, ham-handed. Like the peacock spreading its feathers, it comes of as clumsy and campy. Baby's first attempt at fashion, yet they go about it like it's hot shit, wearing those ridiculous costumes like visitors ought to be impressed by it. They're a civilization always late from a trend.

[Aresk]

Zandalari, by far. They're probably some of the most self-righteous characters in a long time, with Rastakhan being the very personification of arrogance. They seemed very fond of their big speeches, and everything they did seemed so over-the-top. "This allied tribe isn't respecting us enough: bring us twenty of their heads in tribute!" While I think a lot of the Nightborne in Elisandre's court could challenge the Zandalari, there were also a lot of nightborne that didn't seem pompous at all, which evened it out. Even Apari seemed disgustingly fond of her own self-importance.

[Mace]

Devolved? Surely you mean evolved. As their changes are adaptations not a regression.

No, devolved, they became less enhanced, they shrunk in size, lost the enhancements of the well of eternity - which is the increased intellect capacity, lifespan and stature - all diminished. With the sunwell up, the arcane energies would have boosted all of these again, but not to the extent of the Well of eternity, it was not as potent a source.

What is remearkablee about the high elves is how well they did despite their relative handicap, compared to their former night elven selves. They are bitter about this too, they genuinely lost something in that affair, but they are fiercely proud of what they achieved in spite of it, to the point Rommath comments on what they could have been like if they had had potent source like the nightwell, but they made their own way and found their own solutions.


People wrongly assume that evolutionary changes going forward are always positive or always better than before, some are merely adaptations to new environments, but it isn't always the case - it is not the case with the sunstrider highborne..

A lot of devolution happens in wow though, would you consider dwarves from earthern, or flesh vrykul form stone vryul or humans from vrykul a devolution? Mechagnomes to gnomes? The newer versions are all weaker and lesser than the originals, yet they've done surprisingly well in spite of that. /shrug

when I grow older in this body, i will devolve a bit and not be as powerful as I am now, it's just how it is, i may have reduced capacity, but my spirit is still the same as is my mind, despite my brain and muscles atrophied through aging. It also doesn't stop me from doing incredible things, even if I lost most of my memory in a disaster, and lost my home town/city and had to start from scratch in a totally different location, with a gruelling journey that weakened me even further. While in finding a new home I managed to restore some of my strength, I was not back to the heights or the original power and natural capability I once had, but I'm still me. Then I discover it's what's inside a man that ultimately determines him, now the size of his dick or muscles or brain.

Sounds familiar?

Actually by that definition.. Gnomes are pretty pompous - the way many of them, go on - that guy that leads the expedition to Mechagon for example, and Millhouse Manastorm for another.

Indeed. While i don't think every night elf has this view, too many do, Malfurion doesn't, but i think Tyrande, Maiev and a lot of the females do. The males do seem to have eaten humble pie, judging by many of hte comments form the male druids we meet, and some of the male highborne too like Farondis and Mordant, even the male Moonguard leader Lothrius didn't seem that arrogant..

Saw similar amongst the Nightborne, whiles Thalyssra never sounded haughty, she never sounded humble eihter, but Valtrois and Ly'leth were a lot more than say Occuleth or Silgryn who sounded a lot more doown to earth..

NPCs are differnet off course, the city folk did have very arrogant lines.

Sounds like some Nigerian peeps i've met.

Its nightborne or zandalari. They are both known for their arrogance/pompous looking down attitude.

Below are the rest of the elves/dreanei etc.

[Daedius]

All the elven races. They all exhibit extreme snobbery and vanity, the night Elves a lesser extent but still show arrogance.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Zandalari. They strut around wearing solid gold and constantly shout "ZANDALAR FOREVER!".

Draenei being pompous? They might be long lived and have powerful technology, but they are very humble and charitable.
