What do you think? They made them really diverse in their original lore, enough to be an entire faction by themselves.. this is the diversity I've picked up. they have
1. The all female amazonian (think Wonder woman) culture and this is totally different from the male dominated. it's religious, tall exquisite temples with ritual on one side and male like fighters and hunters on the other. you have Wardens, Sentinels and Moon Priestesses in what is basically a fully functional society of its own.
2. Druids, characterised by humility, simple lifestyle exactly like a monk, but with nature as their religion and their work - think botany.
3. Arcane groups, Highborne, Moonguard, Pre-sundeirng civilization types: contrast shifts to a civilization, thriving, full of magic and wonder, but this time it's all high class, pomp and ceremony, hierarchy, pride and vanity, very different from 2.
4. Demon hunter types, angry, powerful, corrupted but still noble minded, but in a different way, now it's corrupt magic, it's av ery hard lifestyle, it's constnatly dealing with demons, and being as brutal tot hem as they are to you. It's a very different form the first 3, but shares some elements from all, it has the desolation of hte first 2, but the power hunter of the 3rd.
5. Evil groups: you have the Naga and Satyr - one is void corrupted - different from the Night warrior types, and a race that spawned from the Queen's court, then the Satyr the demonic corrupt, different from the Demon hunter ones, like their evil version counterpart - and these two are really evil, sort of in contrast to the first 4.
6. The horde Nightborne, who are a stand alone night elven civilization of nightwell altered night elves that are instead with the horde. They are basically an isolated version of group 3, but on the horde. There only real difference is that their bodies are slightly different looking and they are allied closely with the blood elves. It's worth noting they are a version of group 3 that lived for 10,000 years without priest and druidic influence, but since they acme out again, they have druidic influences now and it seems they also had priests.
this race has TONS of groups and factions:
Order of Elune:
The Moon Priestesses
The Sentinels
The Wardens
The Hidden Path huntresses
Druids of the Claw
Druids of the Branch
Druids of the Talon
Druids of the Wild
Druids of the Fang
Druids of the Grove
Dreamwarden Druids
The Valewalkers
The Moonguard
The Highborne
Elisande's artifact highborne
Shen'dralar highborne
Sunstrider Highborne - now Thalassian elves
Farondis Highborne
Nar'thalas Academy highborne
Illidari Night elves
The Naga
The Satyr
The Ancients (allies to the night elves)
The Cenarians (allies to the Night elves)
The Worgen (original version)
I've probably missed a few, but that's already a lot. BIg Question:
Aren't the Night elves diverse enough to not only be their own faction, but their own world.
