If the peace lasts for a few more years , high elves might go back to Silvermoon, since ,with the reignition of the Sunwell and the end of the fourth war ,there is no need for them to be exiled from Silvermoon anymore. Maybe even void elves altough they can’t go near the Sunwell ,and I guess they are happy on Telogrus Rift where they can practice and study void magic without bothering anyone. Tho this doesn’t mean they will go horde. Just that they can return home if they still want to.

I mean.
This would very likely be the case of most Blood Elves, whether they are Sunreaver or not.
It also goes for the High Elves.

sigh And I wanted to see all the High Elf guys go for blond, rosy skinned Night Elves… So I guess that stops the hilarity of the High Elf discussion…
Its great isn’t it time for Civil War!
The sun to taurens also was, back in 2009.
Then the devs expanded lore and sunwalkers were created, and even later sun priests were named as such. So who knows in the end what we’ll uncover in the background of the background for the thalassians (if/when the devs create it).
As much as I would say about a BE player-character pretending to be a Sunreaver or a high elf coming back from a remote place - what you explain here is mere headcanon regarding one’s Player-Character. I mean, do any text in quests exactly state that you - as a PC - were raised in Silvermoon? Well you just happen to hear the story of your people as intro, then you happen to be there in Sunstrider Isle… at some point.
And even if it does: couldn’t it be a confusion from the NPCs themselves? (Just like, at some points in recent expansions, some NPC pretend to know some feats that I never played actually.)
Let’s face it: creating a PC was always a fanfiction anyway, from the begining, from the creation screen back in Classic. Wasn’t it?
That is quite true, but that’s Retail WoW. It lost a big chunk of the RPG vibe for long, the game since WoD and even before has “scripted” our characters …but that’s our own “responsibility” to impress our PC’s own story inside this universe, and definitely new customizations are tools for this.
If you let aside any value of “word of god” from the game text, but instead you just play immersively, just taking the “phenomena” from the in-universe point of view of your PC, then you’ll still be able to play the type of character you expect he/she to be for yourself - and to the extent of other players witnessing you actually look like it, indeed.
Because, who reads the quest texts? It’s just you the player. When the quest text is meant to be spoken by a NPC, and heard by your PC, and if the NPC calls you “blood elf” or “bronzebeard” instead of the race you are meant to look like, then why it wouldn’t be mistake from the NPC, mere confusion or legit ambiguity (in-universe)? Any discrepancy at this level is explainable.
That’s the way, the game experience is not a single-sided story like film or novel, now you are part of the process, and to some extent, legitimate for deciding.
For me it’s radically different because TRP like any add-on is not official gamedesign. It’s only visible for some players who also have it loaded. And its data are purely “nominal”, people write stuff, but it will never overwrite real (virtual) content as an unbiased phenomena.
To sum it up, the TRP’s power stops where other TRP users accept to follow and believe what is written on it. Yet, future customizations will be actual, objective, universally testified, witnessed appearances of the characters.
(You may not agree but I definitely consider that images are stronger than text and tale.)
Most high elves were born and raised in Quel’thalas and were exiled later. I don’t see the problem here.
Yes, just in case one was raised in Dalaran for example I guess
