Because the void elves were taking notes from that one elf that let the scourge in, obviously they're not gonna be okay with that.

I mean they were okay with Sylvanas and her Dark Rangers... until they weren't
Well, Alleria had to touch Sunwell for backlash to occur, and it was also Alleria's knowledge of the Void which was vítal in saving Sunwell. Other elves were just watching their beloved font being endangered.
Given this, I felt exiling Umbric's group was extreme. At that point, they were not even transformed yet. Exiling Umbric and his followers, blood elves basicly lost their knowledge of the Void, so if Sunwell will ever be threaten by the Void in future, they will be helpless, as we already seen. All it was needed was to ban Umbric's group to enter Sunwell site.
Another pointless elf thread because op has a raging boner for elves.
Even tho the specific scenario described in the OP never actually happened.
but muh elves...
Infracted.

I'm not really speaking to whether or not Rommath's position was as an overreach or strictly necessary, but it *is* why Blood Elves tend to look down on or fear trafficking with the Void, and why the Void Elves are persona non grata in Silvermoon. The San'layn practice Blood magic and Necromancy, neither of which are an existential threat to the Sunwell directly, and which already have something of a niche in the form of Death Knights being a part of Sin'dorei society.
"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Haven't you seen what happened when Alleria visited Sunwell? This itself is a reason to keep anything void related far enough.

also this, the fact that Sylvanas' Horde employed San'layn - which only Alliance players have really seen - means little to the whole faction of Blood Elves.
S.H.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
It's simply not a "morality" issue. It's just quite simply that the void energies are anathema to the Sunwell, and they will protect it whatever the cost.
Morality comes secondary to Blood Elves in regards to survival, an the greatest threat to their new source of power is Void, as they have seen with their own eyes.
When have the blood elves even really had any interactions with the San'layn?
So searching for the past like hour for any positive interaction blood elfs would have towards Darkfallen and I cant find any
where are you getting this impression Ravenmoon?
I had this debate with somebody on discord before about Sylvannas bringing in the Sanlayn during the Alliance side war campaign and even then there was no implication that the blood elves as a whole gave their blessing for it
So i'm sorry I can't find any information that supports this notion
in regards to not accepting void elves, since people are talking about it, I would have to think that Grand Magister Rommath is aware of the interactions between void and light and could not afford void magics near the Sunwell now that the Sunwell is a font of light. The blood elves banished by Rommath were still Blood elves at that point.

i don't see why you seem to think they are 'ok' with the San'layn...
as for the Void Elves it's simple really, it has nothing to do with morality, they have very recently experienced the catastrophic consequences of losing a 'well' and watched their loved ones turn into wretches, they will NEVER and under ANY circumstance allow the same to happen again, it doesn't matter how small the risk is, they refuse to take any chance
exiling or even killing a few hundreds is nothing compared to the cost of losing the Sunwell
it's also not hard to guess what opinion would the average belf have for anyone who would endanger the sunwell just for the sake of reasearching some new school of magic
It means nothing to the blood elves, the forsaken can recruit into their ranks any type of undead that is the forsaken theme.
Now I want to see when lorthemar accepted cannibals within the Quelthalas society, because if there is nothing then this topic is a lie
- - - Updated - - -
since when sylvanas and undeads are part of quelthalas society? the undead are their own society with their own territory that is not part of quethalas
Except that Fel still poses a threat to the elves since it attracts the attention of the Legion. Blood magic is also dangerous because the San'layn are inherently hungry beings who satiate their thirst upon the people. Blood Prince Dreven was literally draining his crewmates of their life force to feed himself.

I hope that the creator of the thread will show us at what moment lorthmar and the other leaders of quelthalas allowed those cannibals to live in quelthalas and be part of that society, because I, someone who knows the lore of the blood elves very well, I don't remember.

When did we see lorthemar accept those cannibals in quelthalas?
but fel magic didn't pose the threat to the SUnwell as void magic did, hence why those elves were banished. the clash was about void, not fel. No use in trying to say "but fel magic too" in this scenario since it was about the Sunwell and not elves themselves. Rommath made a rash knee jerk reaction that is going to kick him in the ass down the line.
