I don’t think that it would be very PG of me to describe my feelings towards UK drivers I’ve seen so far. Slerk’s right, I’m not trusting people to sit in front of a wheel.
Ban cars, raise taxes tbh. All that insurance and fuel money can go towards more environment-friendly, higher-quality public transport. But that’s assuming 20% of that money even reaches actual streets—the people behind those decisions are probably drivers, and you can’t trust drivers…
Can’t trust public transport either. 
You’re damn right we can’t. Public transport involves driving, and you know what they say about drivers…
Smaller the feet, bigger the car?
As someone that needs a massive backseat for the dog, this cuts deep.
Trolls and various elves share common dietary habits; mostly meat and fruits. This carries over into elven love of wine as they discovered a new use for grapes.
Bread and baking in general came about comparitively late in their history with kaldorei having pine nut bread, the highborne developing the art of fanciful pastries and cakes as an expression of social refinement, treating food as art.
The natural end result of all this is the lean delicacy dining of the thalassians and the shal’dorei arts of the vintner as an essential part of their ingestion of nightwell energies.
It’d be more like someone not ‘worshipping’ Gravity.
Yes they know the Light exists, knows it can do this or that, doesn’t mean it’s Holy and True though does it?
Fire has a realm, it has its own ‘Narru’, people can do fire magic… so is Fire holy like the Light?
Air, Water, Lightning, same things.
What makes the Light more important any other ‘type’ of magic, other than the ‘belief’ that people put in it?
TLDR:
A WoW Atheist would not deny that the Light exists, just deny that it is Holy and more special, than all the other types of magical ‘elements’ at use in the world.
Todays pet peeve:
People who go out on said public transport with so much deodorant applied that everyone else in the coach basically chokes on the aerosols…
Bonus points if it’s a teen that uses deodorant as a substitute for showering.
Drop the can. Clean yourself. Pigs…
This is why you drive.
ha ha ha lmao poor people
Like I said, I don’t trust people to even walk down the stairs. Curious case and one I will never forgetti. It was my (around) second month as a paramedic. We get called to a “person found on a stairwell”. We get the description and we instantly believe that this person probably passed out or something. Person is however not responsive so we rush there. Person not breathing, some blood on the persons forehead and backskull + the wall but otherwise stable. I am wondering what the meme could have happened. So we rush this person to the hospital and standard stuff happens, person survives. I meet that person later in the hospital a few months later. This person tried to jump down a few remaining stairs for reasoning XYZ. Took a too far jump, bumped his forehead onto the ankled wall and hit his head onto the (stone) stairs below. Nothing much to do with that whole driving situation but situations like this and more have shown me that (famous quote) “Hell is other people” and I am not willing to risk my own life because someone doesn’t pay attention or so.
Is a good point. 
Even though I haven’t really met any like this. Most roleplayers appreciate and welcome the whole high fantasy idea luckily. With many even having knowledge on the differences etc.
But it’s a funny thought thinking that some human just walks around with a fedora in Warcraft and says “ur light is not special!11 I am de surpreme atheist, clearly more superior than any of you”.
While he sheds a tear to be magically completely useless and having no other talents what so ever that could make him “an adventurer like others”.
Or you go full german train association meme. “You have to use the train more, it’s friendly for the environment!”
Plane ticket from one end to Germany to the other is 30 euro + is around 2 hours.
Train ticket is 100 - 150 euro, takes around 7 hours, train is too late and you may not even have a seat.
I’ve always thought of wow faith operating on a principle similar to this:
You can’t deny Christianity (The Light) exists. The evidence is there, it has a history, adherents, underlying philosophy and temples. To deny it exists would be madness.
You can deny however that the philosophy is legitimised by a divine God (Inherent Divinity). And as such just view it as some form of ethical framework or social guide for living.
In Wows case, as has been suggested, this would be akin to seeing Holy magic /Loa Magic as no different to Arcane magic with respective entities more bathed in that power than mortals (eg. Blue dragon flight in arcane case) but you don’t believe these things are somehow inherently special or different. Its just that people have formed a religion around it which you personally don’t see the value of.
Languages change over time, even if spoken by the same people. There is some evidence that the language of the Kaldorei Empire wasn’t modern Darnassian. For example, here https://wow.gamepedia.com/Under_the_Chitin_Was... the questgiver says: “It was a journal written in a very ancient dialect of what we now call the Darnassian tongue.” There is also an item found on the Broken Isles (unfortunately, I don’t remember its name) whose description says that it’s written in a language so ancient that few elves alive today can read it.
And while it’s a different setting, there’s some fictional precedent for that too. Tolkien’s Elvish languages changed over time. Most notably, the original language spoken by the first elves underwent mutations over time (meticulously described by Tolkien in his linguistic notes), and two of its descendants eventually morphed into Quenya and Sindarin, which in turn split into a variety of dialects.
We want to battle climate change! Let’s shut down all of our nuclear power plants! And replace them with renewables!
Coal consumption explodes
I believe that book item mentioned “Ancient Darnassian”, implying that it was probably always called that way. I’d think that Shalassian isn’t necessarily more true to the original language as it is, in fact, a dialect on its own. Considering the many overlaps between Darnassian en Thalassian, it seems reasonable to think that Darnassian changed very little, with its older form kept alive by druids rousing from their sleep every now and then. They would have retained their old dialect, seeing as they were sleeping.
Nope, it wasn’t called that. Grr, my google-fu can’t find the item and it’s frustrating.
Mh, people this is the Headcanon thread. Pet Peeve and Unpopular opinions are a bit below.
Darnassae? Zandalari???
I mean, if you go far enough back in time…
You are correct!
This tweet does seem to indicate Darnassian was the primary language at the time of the WotA, though.

The ancient language/dialect is called Elvish iirc

Not elven though, but atleast apparently a entirelly different language to Darnassian, Shalassian, Thalassian and Nazja.
There’s been notable strife among Night Elves, including some violence, ever since the Black Moon Rising between black eyes and non-black eyes. The former believes the latter isn’t dedicated and have lost their racial pride. The latter believes the former are fanatics who will doom their people as surely as any Horde army would.
