Are we approaching a Solo Raid WoW Experience?
MMO-Champion
Inevitability, they will be an allied race but there's a thread on the High Elf discussion. Let's talk about their leader and who might it be and why they would reintroduce the entire exiles into the Alliance?
- Survival.
- To regrow population.
- Military strength.
- Magic Knowledge.
Let's look at some candidates
- Alleria
- Veressa
- Arator the Redeemer
- Auric Sunchaser
- A surviving Sunstrider (Prince Nallorath)
Alleria Windrunner:
Pros:
High Elf
Notable Windrunner
Captain of the Farstriders
Already good in with the Alliance
Cons:
Leads an Allied race already
Technically a Void Elf.
Disliked by the community
Vereesa:
Pros:
High Elf
Leads the Silver Covenant
Notable Windrunner
Large role in WOTLK and MoP
Little character development of recent
Cons:
Disliked by the community
Lackluster character
Arator Windrunner
Pros:
Half Elf
Son of Alleria and Turalyon
Notable character in WoW
Room for character development and to do something big
Cons:
Lackluster character
Half Human
Auric:
Pros:
High Elf
LT of Alleria
Nostalgia figure of BC
Room for character development
Cons:
Little known about him
A surviving Sunstrider:
Pros:
High Elf
Can bring peace between all Elf races
Monarchy
We haven't had a Sunstrider character in game since BC and Legion, one setback is returning in Shadowlands.
Cons:
Would be an ass-pull character if new.
Would have to have a large story dedicated to them like Thalyssra to have characters engaged and immersed.
Will overshine all elf leaders.
Who'd you want to lead them?

I'd say Vereesa or Auric. Alleria has her own people now.

Why would it be anyone other than Lorthemar?

I was highly tempted to add Sylvanas.

Alleria. I could see her trying to claim the throne of Quel'thalas, possibly due to the nefarious influence of the Void, and gather a faction of Thalassians loyal to her. The Quel'dorei (Silver Covenant and Highvale) would be part of such faction and support Alleria in her bid to claim the throne.
Such a storyline is already foreshadowed in the Three Sisters comic, where the Void Lords tell Alleria to claim the throne of Silvermoon, which belogns to her by right.

Her only right would be by conquest. Windrunner wasn't a royal house of Quel'thalas... Being famous, a war hero, etc doesn't mean you're in the ruling line. What do you think Quel'thalas is? Orgrimmar? Originally Posted by Tenebra the War Criminal

That is called manipulation on a weakened mind. That could go with something like that:" What did they do to earn that throne? You did save a world, they did not etc...." Originally Posted by mickybrighteyes

maybe they mean not literally the throne in the comics but rather the position in quel'thalas as a leader like what lor'themar serves. she'd be regent lord and ranger general

Vereesa, of course. Alleria should be leader of the Void Elves, being one herself, even though she doesn't look like one.
Arator should be leader of Half-Elves if they ever become playable. Is Arator's last name Windrunner? Wouldn't he have Turalyon's last name?

Keep that in the high elf megathread, it was created for this specific reason.

I don't think Theron ever held the position of Ranger-General. He did assume command in the brief period between Sylvanas' death and securing Quel'thalas, but was appointed Regent Lord when Kael appointed Halduron Brightwing as Ranger-General. Originally Posted by TheramoreIsTheBomb

Obv, that is what the Void Lords implied. Divide and conquer are their prefered methods. Originally Posted by mickybrighteyes

There is like one more pair of allied race, before the gimmick dies out, and you believe they'll add another blood elf reskin?

That's not the phrasing the post I originally responded to implied. Originally Posted by Specialka

If he's smart he'll keep the name Windrunner, which has still a lot of importance in Quel'thalas. Originally Posted by Kyphael
