Currently, the playable Demon Hunters in game are all Illidari, which were created and trained by Illidan in the Black Temple around the time of the Burning Crusade expansion.
Void Elves didn't exist back then so Void Elf Demon Hunters can't exist, if they're going to stick to that lore
That said, I don't really have any issues with NEW demon hunters being created and trained by the current Illidari characters. But if they did that, more than just Void Elves should be allowed to become Demon Hunters. The same way the new Allied Race Death Knights are being created.
My question is: Would a normal elf who shows an interest in the Void be considered a "Ren'dorei"? Or does this term refer exclusively to elves who were morphed biologically by the void?
Wrong. Ren'dorei are not just a mage sect. They also employ several rangers and warriors in battle or for guard duties.
isn't Vereesa an anomaly though? Her hair is like Dath'remar's which is extremely unique

I'm thinking the wayfarers would be children enough to have their void forms but not children enough to be permanently affected by it like the curse of Durzaan
The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!

Agreed. If Void Elf Demon Hunters (or really any race that falls outside the standard Illidari) were to become a thing, it would require a new (and likely very abridged) intro much like the allied race Death Knights get. It would also require some in-game lore/event to explain it. Shadowlands pre-orders allow us to see that kind of explanation for the new allied race Death Knights. It's as simple as telling us Bolvar raised casualties from the fourth war. New race demon hunters would require something like that to make sense, though I would welcome such just because it would be nice to have more race options for Demon Hunters as a whole.

There's nowhere in lore saying that what we call "Farstrider tattoos" are indeed a common thing in the Farstriders. The "typical tattoos" were never portrayed in canon lore or art since Warcraft 3 at least, they are mostly a high elf fan request based on old units from Warcraft 2, of which only Alleria, leader of the void elves, have been canonically portrayed as using. Those old units, BTW, were canonically rewritten as Alleria's squad that went to help the Alliance when Silvermoon refused to send its army. Which is why I think they fit the void elf customization more, while blood elves could have runes of another style and colors.
Whatever...

Well Alleria is a "normal elf" and is considered Ren'dorei. I would imagine it would take more than just "showing interest" but rather "active study". I can't speak for the devs of course, but I would say its not unreasonable to assume that anyone willing to study the void would be welcome as members of the Ren'dorei, though you might not be considered a "graduate" from "void school" until you can take on your void form.
what did I say??? They are originally a mage sect! Umbric and his followers were magicians who study the void!
the aesthetics of the race is about void! Give them void related tattoos in a void style would be nice.
the blood elves have the farstriders as a complete organization and maintain the traditions of the organization, they are not a new organization that uses void powers.
She's not a normal elf, she's described as an actual void elf in Shadows Rising. I guess at this point this is the same distinction as High Elf (biological) =/= High Elf (faction affiliation).
You can write 3 question marks, it doesn't change the fact you said something wrong. Warriors and rangers had a large presence in Umbric's original forces.

Do you even read post. I am not saying closing the thread. I am saying closing the discussion by making them a real thing. The fact i mention blizzard and making a bigger mess should be very clear.
Do i report you...nope. So what other people do, has nothing to do with me. And again....if you read my post i said blizzard...not this side, this thread etc etc.
So to be clear. I do not think this thread should be closed. I am saying they could have stopped the general discussion about high elves by giving high elves to start with. And the discussion is still not over...tallesin said: void elves are blood or high elves is false.
Void elves are void elves.
We do not just want the looks, we want the history/lore. We went cool heritage armor not a shiny bikini. We want racials and real faction leader. We want a race and not a semi class ( void elves are a class....naruu, critters etc all have been void touched) so its not a species...but a affliction...a class. Like DK's.
But she IS a normal elf.
Yes the book refers to her as a Void Elf but she was never transformed like Umbric and his squad. She studied under Locus Walker and went through various trials to attain her powers and that's what makes her a Void Elf, but she is most certainly not a Void Elf in the same way Umbric and his squad are.
New members of the Ren'dorei will likely go through similar training and trials as Alleria which would explain why they can retain their usual appearance.

I believe this was always the case, no? I don't recall the Void Elf intro narration, but the actual starting zone shows new elves show up every now and then, both regular high elves and blood elves, who come to become Void Elves. I believe only Umbric's original posse are the mutant sort, practically everyone else are just students of the Void. That's at least the impression the starting zone gives of
