Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

You're not going to find anyone more qualified and capable than Turalyon.

- - - Updated - - -



Anduin already named a succession in case anything happened: Turalyon, a nobleman from Lordaeron and the one who convinced the Human nations to unite into the Alliance.

the house of nobles would never recognize a foreigner without royal blood as king. even varian had to take a noble of the house as wife to be accepted.
I think that if a new king had to be chosen it would be someone like dannath and if he marries a noblewoman from stormwind

[Reinhart11]

Anduin will just ask/command Turalyon to continue as regent. Its more or less the same situation we had with Kael'thas and Lorthemar.

The idea that a light worshipping populace, nobles and commoners alike, as we have in the Kingdoms of Stormwind, would accept an elf, that has gobbled up a Void naaru, who is literally a Void entity, that doesn't fit at all. Even though the incompetent writers at Blizzard ignore all the conflict that should exist between the Void Elves and Light Formed especially.

Why is this thread still here? Alliance can play as High Elves now since SL launch. MOVE ON already.

try asking a high elf related question, any question, outside of this thread and see how it goes

I will never understand why people are baffled about other people wanting to talk about a race. We do have threads for several races, but it's always the HE thread that somehow brings up the disbelief.

perhaps we should also tell @KayRule to apply the same energy for the Troll Race Thread, the Blood Elf Thread, and the Night Elves/Borne Thread

maybe he can start on my Alteraci Human for the Horde thread

"We'll get to see some characters working together that would be previously unthinkable."

Magister Umbric featuring in this expansion is becoming more and more likely.

To say that Magister Umbric has a bad history with the Blood elves and the Reliquary would be an understatement. Not only he was exiled and forsaken by his own kin, but he also took part in the conflict against the Reliquary in Vol'dun and Zuldazar.

But then, would it not be unexpected for Magister Umbric to team up with the Reliquary in 10.0? We already know that Explorer's League and Reliquary will be main factions of 10.0, and Magister Umbric has interacted a lot with the Explorer's League in BfA, in the aforementioned zones, so he has a history to accompany them in their journey.

I truly do hope Alleria sends him to help the Explorer's League and there he goes on a questline to prove his worth once more and even work alongside the Reliquary, his former enemies, to face the dangers of the isles. I also hope they give him a unique model.

Umbric could also take an interest in the Dracthyr. They were created by Neltharion, and given Neltharion's fate with the Void, Umbric could take an interest in that.

I am now mildly hyped for this expansion. And since elves always excel at roasting, if Magister Umbric and the Reliquary interact a lot, things are about to get spicy.

I saw the news from Holinka in the MrGM interview that their broad goal is to not have race restrict classes. So looks like Void Elves eventually will get Paladins, so that access along with the High Elf customizations will allow for the closest ever High Elf Paladin on Alliance in the game. Pretty sweet.

I had a dream Darkfallen Night Elves would get Druid (Revendreth biome aesthetic) & Darkfallen Blood Elves would get Paladin (San'layn Bloodbearer aesthetic) when they go live. I'm manifesting it.

Oh these are cute! Maybe I should do a compilation with my mogs.

Looks like we are getting undead elf "dark ranger" customizations for blood, void and night elves after all.

Happy for all who wished to have their Dark Ranger fantasy available.

[Ardenaso]

why not nightborne and forsaken

also kinda dumb for void elves and blood elf paladins

Nightborne were never risen as Dark Rangers, only blood elves and night elves. As for void elves, I guess they went with the reasoning they are former blood elves. I also think red eyes are cool to represent void too.

Forsaken already have red eyes, afaik. Agree that undead blood elf paladins will be weird, they could lock this customization for them as they did for DHs.

If Lorash can be brought back to fight again then so should be the Nightborne

[Varodoc]

There's no reason why a Dark ranger can't simply defect to the Ren'dorei, especially since they are led by the most famous war hero in Thalassian history.

"Ren'dorei" as a term means "Children of the Void" and thus an undead too can be considered one if they were interested in learning the Void.

I think felborne is better for nightborne.

I hate undead elf for blood elves ruins our lore

It ruins nothing. Dark Rangers has been with the Horde for years. Questline also implies that Darkfallen (a term used by Velonara to define undead elves) are rather part of Forsaken society, with Velonara herself being member of new Desolate Council. This customizations means that Blizzard took the easiest way to put that fantasy playable. By doing so, they opened possibilities for not just Dark Rangers, but also Darkfallen mages, rogues, warriors, etc. I predicted that this is possibility and here we are... and people seem to like it.

[elbleuet]

So now the Alliance also has dark rangers in Lore ??
