Hey all,
I’ve got a question regarding Highborne age.
I’d like to make one and have the age be around the 3k mark, being born in Eldre’thalas, would this be possible?
If not, please put your links and explanation down here.

Hi! It’s possible.

These two pages might help you with the timeline of what has happened within Eldre’Thalas / Dire Maul between the Great Sundering and today.

It certainly is possible and I highly encourage it.
It’s something of a breath of fresh air to see younger Highborne characters.

Whilst we’re on the topic; was Winterspring inhabited mostly by highborne or night elves? Trying to flesh out a bit more of a backstory.
Kel’Theril was once a Highborne city, so we can assume there was at least a sizeable population of the caste there.
Thanks for the reply. Winterspring has so little lore that I can find online, or even in the defunct RPG. I love the thought of a section of night elven society that resides somewhere so frozen and tundral; it’s a shame all the night elven history novels never touched on it.
We don’t really know if the same weather conditions apply to Kel’Theril pre-Sundering as they do post-Sundering.

Shandaral might be more of what you’re looking for, actually.
I read somewhere there was some sort of zone-wide blessing to several areas; eternal summer for Eversong, eternal winter for Winterspring, and eternal autumn for Azhara? I don’t remember where I read that, though. And I’d hardly count eternal winter as a “blessing”.
It was the High Elves themselves who used their command of the Arcane to shape their new lands and lock it into permanent springtime – you can see what Eversong used to look like in the Amani holdings, where it’s more traditional greenery.

I do the lowest dab on mother nature.

My Nightborne was born after the shield was raised, I try to make the connection to the outside world by making her mother as having been from Shandaral. The only thing is that it depends on if your Highborne were to have left Northrend before the residents of Shandaral destroyed themselves after angering the blue dragonflight.
But that being said, young Highborne would be a nice thing.
The character’s always been a kaldorei from Winterspring, so I was more just wondering if Winterspring had any regular night elves as opposed to just night elves. I suppose it should be expected night elf serfs will be in any area with highborne.
Starfall Village is also a thing. We don’t know when it was established, but currently it houses non-Highborne kaldorei, and it’s probably done so for some time now.
