| − | ''There are still some [[High Elves]] in the land, but the majority of those once known as the [[Quel'dorei]] no longer fit the bill of "High Elf". |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''Your comparison with [[Gnomeregan]] is a logical conclusion to draw, but incorrect. The [[Gnome]]s managed to evacuate a good percentage of their people from their home as it was corrupted from within. [[Ironforge]] was close by; they were able to save a good number of their people. Naturally they were indebted to the Dwarves and, by extension, the Alliance, so they fight for their cause. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''The High Elves had less of a chance to flee, as they were surrounded by the vast bulk of the [[Scourge]] army as they pressed in and destroyed the [[Sunwell]]. Still, some survived, certainly enough to show a presence, right? |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''And so they did after the destruction of [[Quel'thalas]], fighting for the [[Alliance]], but with the destruction of the Sunwell they found an ever-increasing need, an addiction, for magical power. The remaining [[elf|Elves]] were placed under the command of a man named [[Garithos]], who was grossly intolerant of other races and drove the Elves into near-suicidal situations in the hopes they would no longer be his problem. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''These remnants of the High Elves -- named [[Blood Elf|Blood Elves]] in remembrance of their people -- were not stupid, and the commands from their "Alliance" became more and more ludicrous. It was only through the help of the [[Naga]] that they were able to survive these grim tasks; time and again, they appeared to aid Prince [[Kael'thas]] and his men. The Blood Elves came to realize they could no longer trust in the Alliance. When the offer was extended to join the Naga in service of [[Illidan Stormrage]] -- and perhaps find a cure to their addiction to magic -- Kael took it, leaving the Alliance behind. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''In short, High Elves are not playable because there are very few true "High Elves" left -- far less so than Gnomes. While there are Blood Elves in much larger supply, they are busy with other pursuits alongside Illidan. You'd certainly not see them fighting side by side with the Alliance anytime soon, not after such betrayal. |

| − | ''Say there was a new, powerful force in town (and I'm referring to both the [[Forsaken]] and the [[Blood Elves]] here, in their respective times) with the potential to be either ally or enemy... and you'd only recently re-established your people on a new land and recovered from endless invasions. You're vulnerable, and increasingly aware of your known enemy gaining in power with each passing day. What do you do with this new force? Ignore it, allowing others to potentially gain even more strength against you? Attack them, making them yet another enemy? Or do you form a tentative and closely-watched alliance with them, bolstering your strength and giving you access to things you didn't [have access to] prior while being able to keep a careful eye on them? |

| − | ''[[Thrall]]'s no fool. Allying with the Forsaken gave his people a foothold on the [[Eastern Kingdoms]], and he can keep a close eye on any potential... problems they may cause in the future. The Blood Elves are a strong, sophisticated, arcane race with knowledge of Outland as it is now rather than Draenor that was -- to go in blindly to new frontiers would be folly. |

||
| − | |||
| − | ''According to [[the Sundering]], it is said that Ysera is Cenarius's mother. However, [[Dungard Ironcutter|Dungard]] the Earthen says that he thought Elune 'birthed' Cenarius. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''Elune birthed Cenarius, but gave him up to Malorne because Cenarius was more a creature of the mortal world and could not be with her. Malorne, who had relations with both Elune and Ysera, knew that he could not properly care for his son, but Ysera's love was so great for Malorne that she took Cenarius as her own. Hence being his mother (or adoptive mother). |
