I think it would be nice for blizzard to give the night elves and other alliance races more friendships between themselves. WE know oft he dwarf/gnome one ofc, because the two are related.
But everyone else is human + friend. They are all so focused on their human relations, we don't see friendships between themselves grown. Night elves were initially quite tight with both Draenei and Worgen - but now worgen and draenei are almost exclusively involved with humans. I understand those developments, but no time has been given to friendships with anyone else but human.
now Kaldorei and ren'dorei can have the Stars in common. the kaldorei are drawn to star light and moonlight, that part of the cosmos and celestial dynamic. The void elves are drawn to the void though, so it's a different facet, however, they have that in common which can cause interesting relationships.
Dynamics between Ren'dorei and Kaldorei we can expand.
1. The cosmos - stars and the void
2. Heritage - especially Highborne and void elves, and even without that, Night elves are closer to void elves than they are to trolls or humans. Yet blizzard seem to keep forgetting this by often paralleling night elves with trolls and void elves with humans.
3. The void magic - priesthood black moon, night warrior, pain mistresses are void intensive elements in the night elven priesthood that the void elves would be very interested.
And this is for established lore. They could even go further and develop Druid and void elf relations. The best thing to use s the Emerald dream, druids have struggled to defend against the void incursions, the last one that seized the dream seemed to incapacitate the druid. the more powerful the druid the more affected he was, not to mention dealing with void corruption etc, this is a perfect opportunity for void elf and night elf druid to get along, you know they meet in bar in Stormwind, umbric is chatting with Malfurion, someone talks about sleeps, the emerald dream comes up, and umbric mentions, you know we could help you with that problem, some of our scholars e very much into nature, and have been exploring the effect on the void on nature, how to to remove it, as well as how to use it by adapting nature, how to ward against it to prevent Azeroth from becoming a void zone. And the two can strike up a friendship. And boom. you get a fourth connection
5. While not exactly the same, demon hunters and void elves share a commonality in having a dark burden. It is different ofc, as you can clearly see, but they can share the mutual understanding and respect of having to wrestle with dark powers that overwhelm everyone else and triumph over them. they can get each other in profound ways.
In short, void elves and night elves can actually become quite close and tight.. in fact, with the re-introduction of high elves void elves can become the elven group that draw close to the night elves , whiles high elves remain that half that is totally intertwined with humanity. I'm not suggesting night elves and void elves become exclusively tight with each other, both races will still be involved with humans, but they'd have a strong bond. Night elves are strong with void elves, draenei and worgen. Humans are strong with High elves, dwarves and Lightforged.
