Talk: Silvermoon City

The Green crystals

In the History section, it states that green demonic crystlas have been erected to power the city. As stated in a mission text on sunstrider isle, the crystals are neither demonic and have also been there since before they even became blood elves. I would hazard a guess these crystals in Silvermoon are the same, since they look identicle. Perhaps it can be re-written, like "Some in the Alliance and the Horde even, believe that the crystals that power Silvermoons magics are demonic in nature, however, these crystals have been present since before the scourge sacking and would therefor not be powered by demonic power". Something to consider. --Nurizeko

I decided to add in a minor edit to reflect the information from the quest on Sunstrider Island (I believe it to be the first BE quest actually) since there is A) no proof the crystals are demonic that I am aware of and B) the quest text already identified them as being present long before the scourge and the birth of the Blood Elves. Finally its also known by now that Azeroth Blood Elves aren't heavy users of demonic magic like their estranged Outland cousins. --Nurizeko

How Large is Silvermoon????

Blizz Reports that that it will be the largest City in WoW next to Exodar,But really how large?? From Screenshots we've seen it looks pretty big but can we get a a rough guess?I'd guess it would be at least twice as large as Stormwind but then again we will have to wait for blizz to confirm the size of Silvermoon in depth. Hammerdin

At this point it's really impossible to tell. Some previews will say it's huge, others will say it's half the size of orgrimmar. You'd need to ask a tester, but to the extent of my knowledge I believe it will be slightly larger than the average capital User: Mystoksor

Transportation

When you speak to the bat handler (though she's called a dragonhawk handler in text), the option isn't "Show me where I can fly", it's "I'd like to fly to Tranquilien," which indicates that there is only one flight path connection, similar to the single connection between the Exodar and Bloodmist Isle. I'm not yet sure how the area connects to the rest of the Eastern Kingdoms; I haven't seen a boat or zeppelin tower around Silvermoon or Tranquilien.

There is very little benefit to putting in "reasonable assumptions" about beta info such as this, since they so often wrong. There's just no telling what Blizzard is going to do.--Aeleas 16:13, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

Apparently there is some sort of teleportation at level 10 between Silvermoon and the Undercity. I used up all of my character copies on Alliance characters, so I won't be able to test it.--Aeleas 16:35, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

There is indeed a teleporter to the UC by the Mage Trainers in Silvermoon. At level 5, he tells me I'm too low level. His name, "Peoreth of the Weakest Sauce", may indicate he is a placeholder.--Aeleas 17:43, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

Osrelg, can you confirm the additional flight paths you added to the article? My experience in the beta, as well as other sources [1] indicate there aren't any flight paths out of Quel'Thalas, just the one internal one between Silvermoon and Tranquilien.--Aeleas 01:40, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

The only flight path from Silvermoon City is from the city to Tranquilien. Silvermoon City is connected to Undercity by transporters which are located in the Palace of Silvermoon and in the Ruins of Lordereon on top of Undercity. It doesn't cost anything to use them. The teleporters are not actual NPCs but rather large magical orb-like structures. .--Galawynd 15:02, 5 March 2007 (EDT)

Article Name

I suggest moving this page to Silvermoon City, as that is the city's full name both in-game and in most references to it. We already have Shattrath City under that naming style. ----  Varghedin  talk / contribs 20:33, 21 January 2007 (EST)

It shouldn't. Zone names are inconsistent. Stormwind is sometimes called "Stormwind City" and "Ironforge" is sometimes called "City of Ironforge". Look them up on WoW info sites of your choice.

What we should follow is the ribbon title found on the maps. In which case Shattrath City should be moved to Shattrath. --Voidvector 22:53, 21 January 2007 (EST)

I suggest we should use "Silvermoon City" for the blood elf capital, and "Silvermoon Ruins" for the quest area including Falconwing Square. Or actually check what the minimap header is in-game, which is what I would do if servers were not down at the moment for routine maintenance. --Jubaal 08:46, 23 January 2007

The flags say 'Ruins of Silvermoon' and 'Silvermoon City'. And indeed, they also say 'Stormwind City' and 'City of Ironforge'. ----  Varghedin  talk / contribs 13:08, 23 January 2007 (EST)

The article should indeed be moved at Silvermoon City. City of Ironforge and Stormwind City are less used in game than Shattrath City and Silvermoon City, justifying the move to Stormwind and Ironforge (At least for Ironforge). --User:Adys/Sig 07:48, 14 February 2007 (EST)

If this article is called Silvermoon City (which I dislike), the same pattern must go for Stormwind. Though best would be to simply change this article back to it's original name, "Silvermoon". --Odolwa 09:51, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Guards of Silvermoon

I don't have the expansion, and I would like to know what the guards are called. They look like spell breakers but I doubt they're called that. Mannerheim

They're just called "Silvermoon Guard(ian)". --Shandris 01:26, 26 January 2007 (EST)

Silvermoon Guardian for the guards in Eversong, and Silvermoon City Guardian for the ones inside the city. ----  Varghedin  talk / contribs 08:38, 27 January 2007 (EST)

Two of everything

Does anybody have an idea why there are two banks, auction houses and inns in this city? Ratfox 11:02, 30 January 2007 (EST)

It's to help distribute players instead of having them all bunch up like they do in Orgrimmar or Ironforge. Although a good idea (something that would have helped both IF and Org), Silvermoon, in my experience, is so deserted it makes no difference. --Maenos 11:18, 30 January 2007 (EST)

I agree that the idea is a good one. The problem with Silvermoon is that it suffers something of the same thing as Darnassus (and Exodar) - it's in the "outskirts" of Horde land, which means it won't be nearly as populated as the other Horde cities on average. What it does do, though, is put Undercity more towards the center of Horde lands. The Forsaken capital is already experiencing a boost in player population. ----  Varghedin  talk / contribs 16:17, 30 January 2007 (EST)

It's also profoundly annoying to navigate. My map of it is covered in confetti and lines showing the short ways to get anywhere that don't show on the maps...As soon as I could leave that area I was gone, and set my stone to UC. That's probably why UC got the boost, people fleeing the annoyance, and Undercity doesn't look nearly as bad now...--Azaram 06:00, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

Female Statues

I tend to think I know a lot about the Warcraft lore... but who the hell are the giant Kael'thas-sized statues of the female elf supposed to be of? I don't recall any really popular female high/blood elves except Alleria, Sylvanas, and Vareesa... and I highly doubt it would be of Sylvanas or Vareesa. Alleria maybe, but... does anyone know if it is someone else? -- Lilythmageborn 09:38, 31 March 2007 (EST)

I am not sure but I assumed that they are there more for the reason that they want to assert the fact that they are highborne, so they put many highborne statues like the ones in Dire Maul around their city, not that it is anyone special.--SWM2448 19:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Something about the Guards?

Some of Silvermoon City's guards seem a bit strange. Right after the entrance, there is a Gatewatcher and two guards harassing a citizen, and upstairs in one of the Inn's is a Silvermoon Adept standing above a dead Silvermoon Stillblade responding with "Nothing to see here, citizen." I think there should at least be a small mention of this, as these characters don't look like they have articles here. The names might not be accurate, but it's all from memory.
