Not exactly! Night Elves worship Elune and put up moonwells to get their energy (mana) from. The Blood elves, who were former Night Elves, were exiled when they attempted to practice Arcane magic which was forbidden, so they sailed far away where they slowly built Quel’Thalas and a big well of energy for themselves which is arcane and sun-energy based and they call the Sunwell. They woship the Sunwell as it ‘‘feeds’’ and sustains them.
Now, Void elves are a bit different. They were former Blood elves in the majority who began to study the powers of the Void and when they were found out they were exiled (by Rommath?) from Silvermoon, so they joined Alleria as she was returning from Argus where she absorbed a Void Naaru.
So Void elves cannot be said to ‘‘worship’’ the Void. Most of them are studying and experimenting with the Void alongside Alleria and Magister Umbric to bolster their own powers. They’re trying to learn to harness it.
To worship the Void itself would mean to worship one or more of the Old Gods, who are creatures of the Void, extremely dangerous and cunning, whose main goal is to enslave mankind with mind control and influence of speech. I think we all know what happens to those who subdue to such monsters, and that’s, well, that they turn into monsters themselves. Void elves have maintained their sanity and continuously battle off the influence and whispers of the Void in order to avoid this fate. The Void to us is merely a force to harness and control as much as possible, not to worship.
Though there’s nothing stopping some scarce individuals like some players from RP’ing that they’re kind of on the brink of insanity
The Forsaken tap into the void but do not do so through an old God. They follow worship of the shadows which is either tangentially void or another name for it.
It’s probably if I had to guess something akin to the different death magics we now know of.
Kyrian, Maldraxxus, Night Fae and the venthyr all use death magic but each has different types.
Shadow is probably void magic but different from what we see of old god magic.
I feel that if Void Elves where to do that it’d be pretty easy for an Old God to reach out to them through their prayers and start ‘‘guiding’’ them according to their own selfish goals it’d certainly be very very fun for RP though.
Bit like those cult priests in Skyrim who worshiped Hermaeus Mora, the dark tentacled god of knowledge heh. NGL I did a lot of quests for the aforementioned and he does in fact reward you with the best mace you can get your hands on in the game, the Mace of Molag’Bal, but for a great price (human sacrifice)
I imagine its easy enough for any Old God(s) to reach out to anyone using the Void overall. They are very powerful beings and their whispers are hard to ignore.
And of course canonically the Void Elves hear the whispers, of Old Gods and void entities. Remember Alleria said the voices were not quieter with N’zoth defeated. They were louder. There were MORE of them. N’zoth simply drowned out the other voices being so close to us all.
Which on its own is a neat rabbit hole to jump down. If Old Gods have intentionally or unintentionally been shielding us from the larger groups of void entitites by drowning them out with a “louder voice” then what have we been missing?
Technically it was a sacrifice of knowledge. He wanted that mans mind not his life.
Why yes it will but why limit yourself to such when you can ask for beards and Zandalari jewellery
We need more! I really think they should create a scheme where they approve art submissions inc animations etc from external artists and coders and add those in the in-game shop and give a generous commission out of that to those external contributors for every sale their item makes in the shop.
I’ve not thought of it that way but it’d certainly be very neat indeed to see small cults being formed in the story by enemy NPCs worshipping Old Gods and making temples in their name and stuff and we as adventurers are kinda tasked with the lawful good task of weeding out those cultists, and they will have like stone tablets and sacrifices of various things offered to the Old Gods, different ones for each God etc.
I would like the BFA allied races and the void elves to receive new customizations (hair colors, skin colors, hairstyles, beards, jewelry etc…) because they really have very few customizations…
considering void elf should’ve never been added to the game, i think it’s safe to say this post should be deleted soon. There’s no need in getting more customization, you already got your race. I pray everyday that these alliance wannabe blood elves get shut down and get a life
That just proves my point even further. You’re absolutely right we didn’t get anything since we got the race in TBC (red/purple eyes doesn’t count as a valid cosmetic option) and we also didn’t make any posts whining about wanting more cosmetic options. But you void elves do, even though you already got your alliance themed blood elf. And here you are asking for blood elf customizations, meanwhile we who are already blood elves ask for pretty much nothing.
Girl if i was jealous, i would be playing a void elf instead. The fact you want additional cosmetic features to your character probably means you’re not very happy with it/her, so why assume i’d be jealous Also my transmog would look so stupid if it was on a void elf, would make no sense at all
Think I’d pick tattoos. Gives a nice addition and also helps high elf folk. Really can’t lose there.
They’d probably go to blood elves too…
Ideally though there’d be a whole lot of customizations all at once.
Tattoos, hairstyles, hair colors, tentacle options/colors, skin tones, starcursed hair, different EE options, scars, jewelry and voidy oddities such as extra eyes and spikes and stuff.
I’m with you!! That cotton candy pink them Humans got? Daaamm I could rock that on any class on my Velfs for real! I’m a bit peeved though cause humans and orcs have sooo much customization already much more than any other race they’re competing with Drakthyr. And Humans aren’t even played that much. The top played races across all regions are Blood elves, Orcs and Night elves.
Don’t take me wrong it’s good we’re seeing a little bit more customization, but not what we are asking for yet xD
it’d certainly be very very fun for RP though.
Also my transmog would look so stupid if it was on a void elf, would make no sense at all
