Improving Relations?

With all the content appearing with WOTLK, I've noticed that there have been interesting changes between the high elves (moslty of the Silver Covenant and the Alliance. (Particularly Night Elves)

First off, there are many high elves from the silver covenant fighting alongside alliance forces all over northrend. Second, There are high elves in ALL major cities (including Darnassus) when the Strand of the Ancients weekend comes up. Third, many of the Alliance Conscripts are night elves, and fight alongside Captain Iskandar, (who is affiliated with the Alliance expedition instead of the silver covenant) Before the Wrathgate event, there are High elf mages and Night elf Sentinels fighting along side each other as well.

Recently with the Argent Tournament we've seen not only many high elves from the silver covenant (hosting), but also many high elves part of the Argent Crusade, as Patrollers, Vendors, etc. Heck, there are high elves and night elves literally standing next to each other in many cases.

Basically, what I'm getting at here, is that maybe with all the recent changes, that the "Alliance Shunned" high elves arent as "shunned" as they were before.--Blayaden (talk) 15:15, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I think its safe to say relations are improving, another example is the High Elves in Dalaran willing to host Night Elves along with the rest of the Alliance. As well as the Night Elves being stationed in Allerian Stronghold. At this point i dont think they are shunned at all. Most people probably realize how High Elves are trying to distance themselves against Blood Elves and they respect that. --User:Queldorei

it also could just be a game mechanism. not to say they aren't improving, but creating a different scenario just for the expansion doesn't seem worth the trouble. --1201 (talk) 01:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Also there is Fiora Longears in Auberdine, the night elves are starting to warily accept the high elves and their sacrifices to fight their addiction and to aid the alliance, just like they accept humand and gnome mages.

Another good example is Moonbell a night elf stable master wearing the Silver Covenant Tabard on the ptr realms.--Gurluas (talk) 12:56, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Don't forget High Elves standing next to Blood Elves, Orcs, Trolls, Forsaken, and Tauren in peace and harmony.--LangstonTheCoward (talk) 07:25, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

That may be true but they do so of necessity, but do not forget the night elves even allowed high elves in Darnassus, they would never do that.--Gurluas (talk) 10:40, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

With the arrival of the cataclysm expansion we can see how the night elves, led by Tyrande Whisperwind, will accept the Highborne between them. We can therefore conclude that, faced with these difficult times of great strain of war between the Alliance and the Horde, both the night elves, high elves and the Highborne, have left behind their grudges to unite and fight alongside the Alliance.

This image shows elven architecture in Outland and has a description which says that they attempt to show that they are not blood elves of Quel'Thalas. This makes little sense seeing as the high elves in Outland are remnants of the Alliance Expedition and would not have had any idea that there was ever any distinction between high and blood elves until after the portal was reopened (and the Allerian Stronghold was built decades before that).

The high elves are not the ones showing the distinction to others, Blizzard is showing the distinction to the players.--SWM2448 00:31, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Fan Images

What is the deal with those fan made images? They clearly present some differences that are not in game nor in lore (Shorter eyebrows, larger ears) and the face selection shows a clear bias on my opinion. I think they shoud be removed.--Beloren (talk) 07:32, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
