    Honestly, I think night elves are the ones with the best options as darkfallen. They have a wider variety of options than blood elves and void elves. In particular, they have tattered ears, scars, and tattoos that allow for more varied looks and fit well with the darkfallen theme.

    Damn it looks even better with void elves than it does with blood elves.
    Darkfallen Thalassians died to defend Quel'Thalas from the Scourge. Their sacrifice would be honored.

    And Alliance Dark Rangers can simply form their own order into the Alliance.
    An unwise move. The Ren'dorei are already the strongest and largest faction of Alliance-aligned Thalassians, led by one of the most renowned war heroes in Quel'Thalas' history. They gain nothing from forming their own little pathetic throng instead of submitting themselves to the Ren'dorei and gaining their protection.

    I *could* see Alleria taking in darkfallen, but it's far from taking it for granted. Until we get confirmation of who do the alliance Darfallen serve to, I think the most sensible choice is to see them occupying the same liminal space that alliance DK have. Because, obviously, since the VE origin story is still locked to that timeframe where the first VE were created, any posterior new VE's origin and position is HIGHLY speculative.

    Personally, would kinda like to see Vereesa taking in the Darkfallen, as a way of externalizing her acceptance for what Sylvanas is/has become, but yeah, alliance Darkfallen as their own little covert group that works more from the shadows could be very neat.

    Being a God doesn't mean that you have greater mental fortitude.

    There are plenty of examples in fiction of Gods who are more gullible/naive/weak mentally/emotionally than mortals.

    "Divine" beings like Ra'den and Neltharion fell to the powers of the Void, while Alleria Windrunner and the Ren'dorei embraced the Void and survived with their sanity intact.

    Therefore, beings like Ra'den and Neltharion were not strong enough to resist the whispers of the Void. While Alleria and the Ren'dorei succeeded.

    I agree add Void Elf Demon Hunters

    The reason why they haven't been added yet is purely because of the Demon form. The Void elves would have a form similar to the Blood elves, but with different hair colour and more purplish. We know that Void elf DHs will come, as they want to open all classes to all races, but due to the Demon form, they'll come last for all races. I also imagine that the intro scenario needs to be changed a little, like they did with allied races DKs.

    Even though storywise there is indeed nothing stopping an ambitious Demon Hunter from joining the ranks of the Children of the Void, and plunging themself into the study of the Void. We see from Xhul'horac in WoD that Void and Fel can coexist in a single creature, although with great difficulty.

    I agree, I think it was best done on Night Elves, I've seen people do some mock ups, especially NE Druids with the look, gets very baba yaga type vibes due to armor selection for Druids.

    I do agree with this, hell the WoW team themselves, particularly Danuser, already commented on the subject when asked about Wildhammer Dwarf customization including story pieces and he literally stated there aren't enough resources/time for them to represent in-game every single customization theme that players gain access to, to do that would in turn give players fewer options.

    What we're seeing here is what Blizzard's been stating for a while now: Customization is an ongoing process, and they look to add what players ask for, and not every additional option is going to have some in-game-world explanation for why it's given. Also that obviously the more popular requests will end up taking priority (so sorry for anyone who are fans of the more least played races etc).

    People are still complaining undead void elves?

    The lore moves at a snail's pace. Gonna have to agree with Gaidax here, use your imagination - and a bit of common sense too.
    The whole race is themed to shadow, void, eldritch horror, whatever. One of the only things the race has done in the game since it's introduction is necromancy, and the void has been described as being vampiric since the start. I'm still making an early call we're allying with the San'layn eventually formally - they're the only "undead elf" group that's still fully hostile, and especially so to the Horde with 9.2.5 and Vorath. (...who was using void.)
    Also, Dar'khan is the only other major lore character we have a connection to that isn't Alleria. Not Solarian, Dar'khan.

    Alleria is a hero who was not present for the fall of Quel'thalas - how much bias would she have towards a situation she had no hand with? Especially when they're also cursed in a way, and especially when it's been clearly stated Quel'thalas didn't welcome them back with open arms. Reading between the lines, and again, wee bit of creativity, gathering as many Thalassian exiles under one banner themed to shadow is a cool concept, and absolutely makes sense.

    Also, can we stop focusing on Alleria as a "leader" for once? Umbric is right there. Let the man do something, and have him get involved with whatever story we're getting in regards to this.

    Also, yes, add Void Elf Demon Hunters.
    Voidwalkers exist, and demon hunters could begin to study the next big threat that freaked even their old enemy out.

    I mean, Umbric literally had more screentime than Alleria in BfA, precisely because he's only second-in-command.

    In BfA, Alleria as the Ren'dorei leader told Umbric to help the 7th Legion's war effort and prove the Ren'dorei's worth to the Alliance. Umbric was actually in the field doing things in Vol'dun and Zuldazar, while Alleria was literally afk on a boat in Boralus.

    You complain about Umbric not getting featured enough in stories and yet he literally had more screentime and things to do than Alleria in the faction war.

    It seems like the focus should be on Alleria doing things for once.

    eh the only thing I saw him in BFA other than the last raid is his bio-weapons in Zul'dazar
    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!

    I make Warcraft 3 Reforged HD custom models and I'm also an HD model reviewer.

    Then you didn't play the Alliance war-campaign.

    He appears in Vol'dun and is recruited as a companion in the BfA Garrison system. He asks to be redeployed in Zuldazar, where he teams up with Shandris Feathermoon to disrupt negotiations between Horde and Zandalari and to also disrupt Bilgewater operations in the area. Then he personally leads an attack to Gallywix pleasure palace to hunt down Gallywix, and while he fails to kill the real Gallywix, he still deals a decisive blow to the Bilgewaters. Then he helps Jaina open a portal to the Zandalari royal treasury. And then he appears in the Alliance Faction Assaults on Zuldazar.

    While all of this is going on, Alleria being the leader is in Boralus organizing things and planning things with Wyrmbane, aka she's afk on a boat.

    The new customizations for Darkfallen elves, as well as tying the lore of the San'layn to that of being apart of this "race" of undead elves, has reinvigorated my interest in elves. Specifically... Darkfallen elves.


    Dark Ranger armor appearances for hunters only is the first step. Hopefully we can get San'layn armor appearances for... mages? Maybe warlocks? How about both?

    TBH I think the Venthyr mogs do so much for the San'layn aesthetic. Not only the 4 armor tupe ones, but the two cosmetic ones.

    Elves look incredible in the minds of their creators. But in fact it looks rather implausible and crooked. And honestly, I couldn't have done any better, so I don't even know if I have the right to say that. But that's really my opinion.

    Fantasy of Void elves:

    - Hot
    - Badass
    - Brooding
    - Elegant
    - Cunning
    - Ambitious
    - Powerful

    Reality of Void elves:

    - Hot
    - Badass
    - Brooding
    - Elegant
    - Cunning
    - Ambitious
    - Powerful

    I don't know, I feel like they managed to turn their imagination into reality.

    Definitely better than fat burger humans or diaper gnomes or furries, although I admit that's a low bar.

    Agreed. I turned my rogue to darkfallen... and even though I did not use any of the sets, back transmog and daggers do the magic.

    Since it is confirmed that all races will get all classes, Void elves Paladin will become a thing. We will see Alleria and the Ren'dorei discover the secret of mixing Light and Void. No longer will they be hurt just by touching the Light.

    As Void elves will also get Demon Hunter, we can expect them to finally receive green eyes option. I suspect that the Sin'dorei scholars introduced in Legion will play a role in this.

    Now watch as Void elves become even more awesome and amazing in their Cosmic powers, I can hardly wait!

    Soon, we will be able to create a being who is thoroughly infused with 3 different Cosmic powers in one body: a Ren'dorei Darkfallen Paladin! We might be looking at the most unique creature in the entire Warcraft Cosmos.

    When this happen, I expect only that void elf DHs will get access to unique eye customizations DH class have.¨

    Night elves did not get fel eyes as a whole race either.
