Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[DeicideUH]

You cannot write a summary about the first line starting a book. Maybe give Void Elves some time to develop first, before you come here screaming bloody murder?

Except we are not talking about the first line of a book, we are talking about the entire first chapter. And that chapter was hastily put together with no care for any details.

And you cant really understand void elves without understanding the void and how it operates or how Alleria came to master the void, the same thing with lightforged draenei and the light. And we were talking about their origins, and their origins CAN be summed in one line. That was my point. You are talking about things that happened later in their storyline, so ofc they will have more substance, and VE are just beginning their story, so ofc they will have less substance.

Oh, so all that matters is that they use the void? The story of those elves, their numbers, their names, their outlook on things, how the transformation changed their view on things, nothing that makes them a people matters?

Lightforged draenei have little lore, but it's still a ton more than the void elves. Just by looking at their support cast we can see them way more varied than void elves. Lightforged draenei have characters like T'Paartos, Y'mera, Enaara or Telaamon to diversify them, as well as supporting cast like Quoram or Lothraxion. Void elves have Umbric, and that's it.

Heck, the LF recruitment story with T'Paartos has way more about what means to be a Lightforged than the entire void elf storyline so far can show us about the void elves. The only elf with void powers that was deeply explored was Alleria, and her story has nothing in common with Umbric and the dozen nameless elves that followed him and lived in a floating rock in the literal mid of nowhere.

VE might not have a lot of lore, but they do have it. And dismissing it because you don't like it, is dishonest.

I can't dislike what doesn't exist. I can dislike the absence of it, thought.

[Zulkhan]

It's fascinating that this thread is still going on.

I would love to have the same dedication of a few years ago, now I just feel boredom and exhaustation thinking about repeating the same basic logic over and over and over again.

[Gurluas]

Well the High elf cause has grown and shrunk over the years, the flame may be reduced to an ember, but it will never die. And one day it will start a wildfire.

[Traveler Voltin]

why would you revive this?

Darkspear (and High Elf threads) Never Die

[Amnaught]

So, in this image, we see Sylvanas, Saurfang, Nathanos... And a dying elf. Presumably Vareesa.

If it is Vareesa, doesn't it make sense that Alleria would join and take over the Silver Covenant, leading them to the Void? They would establish themselves as anti-blood elves, their own race, and we'd finally hear the end of all of this playable high elf stuff. It'd end the conversation, there are no more high elves, they all joined the Horde or Alliance as Blood or Void elves.

[Rend Blackhand]

It’s not Vereesa, it’s that new night elf commander who’s name so can’t remember right now.

I like your idea though. High Elves need to be snuffed out forever

Lol either pro or against, everyone is just so pressed by High Elves hehe.

It’s irritating, the demands have gone on for too long.

[Raetary]

And a dying elf. Presumably Vareesa.

no it's not vareesa.


we know who that elf is, it's captain delaryn, a night elven commander.

[Nyel]

Why do some still want High Elves though? Void Elves are basically that, just with a different colour palette.

Void Elves are stronger and more dangerous..

It's an interesting development. I would love to see some High Elves explore this path!

[Deleted]

I agree. The High Elves need to disappear.

Just roll BELF no one cares for blue eyed BELFS

According to the recent comic, Vareesa has a square jawline, so that's not her .

[ThatBloodElfEnjoyer]

Sadly it's not Vereesa, it's some no-name Night Elf they introduced for the soul purpose of killing off.

Hopefully she'll die later into the expansion as Sylvanas/Alleria tensions flare up.

I'd almost forgotten about that glorious art.

Good lord that jawline....

[Soon-TM]

I hope so, OP. Anything that shuts the high elf crowd's mouths (or fingers, in this case) is welcome

[FriendOrTraitor]

Ohh, we're talking about the art from that comic? Look at this gem:

[DeicideUH]

From a high elf fan: I think they'll become void elves, eventually. Probably through some accident, as making it a willing transformation would conflict with the high elf story.

But OP is wrong: the wounded elf is Delaryn Summermoon, Sentinel captain. My speculation about Sylvanas' Warbringer episode is that Sylvanas will see Delaryn fighting the invasion and that will remind her of herself fighting Arthas. At some point she will go "what have I become" when Teldrassil is in flames, but then comes to the conclusion that there's no turning back.

About how the high elves will turn into void elves: I have this wild guess that the war will escalate over the patch cycle and Blizzard is commited to give Kalimdor to the Horde and Eastern Kingdoms to the Alliance. The draenei will be expelled from Myst Isles (much to the mag'har's satisfaction), and Alliance will march over Quel'thalas. The Silver Covenant and other high elves will be essential for the invasion, so they'll be there. At some point, something will happen (could be Old Gods, the existing void elves doing stuff or maybe the magisters using the Sunwell to raise shields against the invasion) and the Sunwell will be depleted of its Light and become a Void source, exploding and turning a sizable chunk of elves into void elves.
