The Blood Elves discussion thread

[Varodoc]

I must reiterate My belief that Kael'thas Sunstrider was written perfectly and that his character arc was concluded logically and in a satisfying manner over 15 years ago.

Therefore, I do not see any point in bringing Kael'thas for any future story. His brief cameo in SL was more than enough.

Instead, the writers should focus on the living Blood Elves in dire need of development, such as Valeera Sanguinar or Aethas Sunreaver.

Valeera isn't part of the core part of Quel'Thalas, but she has potential.

Aethas isn't wanted by the Blood Elf fanbase, I can assure you of that. We want Rommath...Aethas isn't well liked by the majority Sin'dorei fanbase and their is a lot of evidence via the forums, via youtube videos...he's not written as a likeable Sin'dorei character. Instead, we should get the full breathe of Silvermoon's leadership from Lor'themar to Rommath to Haulduron to Liadrin. The middle two are the ones who need attention...probably more so than Valeera or Aethas who played roles in Legion and the former also had something in BFA.

I do hope Rommath and Halduron are part of Ion's vision of expanding and reimagining the Blood Elves in Midnight. Perhaps Rommath and Umbric make equal contacts with the Quel'dorei of the High Mountains of the High Home whilst Rommath contacts a scattered group of Felbloods to the South so the distinction between old school High Elves and old school Blood Elves can be clearly made. High Elven Arcane Mages with more High Elf features for Void Elves and Blood Elven Fel-casting Warlocks with fel features added in just for Blood Elves.

It's a great opportunity to develop characters like Scout Captain Elsia or Vorenthal.
We should also see more of Mehlar since the light is our ally and he is a great believer and more about Salandria

Absolutely...Voren'thal and Kayn Sunfury would make for an interesting dynamic as both "betrayed" Kael, but both took extremely different routes.

Kayn could view the Scryers as Illidari traitors.

Then we have Mehlar and Salandria who I think would bounce off each other really well. I'd like him to be more controversial because it fits his character.
Perhaps Mehlar and Shinfel represent the more controversial angles of Sin'dorei Paladins and Sin'dorei Warlocks

And we can never say no to Scout Captain Elsya...she might be a good one who works with the Darkfallen Rangers like Velonara. Perhaps questions are asked regarding Hathorel's current fate since Elsya would know him

There are many characters that would be great to see again like Astalor or Astromancer Darnarian. the naaru k'iru should also be important

Indeed. So many great Sin'dorei characters that can be used. We have some which perform the old "TBC-like days" which come in the forms of Kayn Sunfury, Shinfel Blightsworn and Allari the Souleater. Of course we also have the Sin'dorei leadership

We also have Voren'thal of the Scryers which work in this "TBC-like day" but was a pure Arcane Mage, almost trying to ween off Fel Magic, akin to what his kin were learning under Illidan and Kael'thas.

Then we have the post-TBC days with characters like Elsya, Hathorel and the Sunreaver faction in general and of course the new generation of Blood Knights like Salandria.

Friendly reminder Voren'thal took half the army away from kael'thas when he founded the Scryers. That was a huge blow to Illidan too and maybe the main reason the Naaru could win the war.

Especially Sunreavers have many people who are great unlike that spineless worm Aethas.

Rommath did nothing wrong and was right about pretty much everything especially the dangers of the Void.

I just hope this carries on into Midnight.

Perhaps, as part of expanding Blood Elf lore, as confirmed by Ion, the Sunfury Organisation might even get a small look-in.
I really want to see what Sunfury Arcane Mage is all about; simply because the Sunfury's named NPC Mages were "Arcane Mages." The spec is still about summoning phoenixes, except Fire is the Fire Phoenix and Arcane seems to be an Arcane Phoenix

As the no 1 Kael'thas fan of the whole community I approve all stories to bring him back in some manner.

@Grazrug
Yeah! That's why I mentioned Elsia, she's great.

[Tanaria]

She is.

It would be great to delve into her story once again, but get her thoughts on Hathorel and the fact that was part of those loyal to Sylvanas. Elsia and Velonara would make for a great duo of Sin'dorei and Darkfallen Rangers, working together.

Many blood elves are criminally underused I hope that changes in Midnight.

Blood Elf Sunreaver Mage NPC's.

I like their weapons - makes me think back to the old TBC Mage days.

[Ardenaso]

would be also nice to see sorceress NPCs wearing the warcraft 3 dress and being staff-less

Their are male equivalents so as much as I like the easter egg throwback to W3, it wouldn't really work.

Unless the Sunreaver Men were Priests and Sunreaver Women were Mages, then you could argue for W3 Easter Eggs for both.

I mean a unique female only NPC at least

Looks really good = Might give a go, later on in the week.

I do like how it brings an emphasis to Blood Elven Rogues, who seem to be quite forgotten...yes, we have Valeera, but we don't have any known Sin'dorei Rogues, loyal to Silvermoon, Quel'Thalas and the Horde.

[TheWizardFan88]

Valeera is such a good character. It's a shame blizzard hasn't used her much for the spotlight.

[Lecadre]

It is surprising that it has been almost 8 years and 4 expansions since Blood Elves could be a new class, the latest class they had was Demon Hunters in Legion, and after all this time and the promise to make all races to all classes they got nothing, no druid, shaman or even evoker.

For the most played race and most humanlike race for male characters, they should have had all the classes since long ago.
