Regardless of the San’layn being independent or not.
It’s quite clear they’re not trusted by either faction, from what I remember (could be wrong) the ones that tried joining the Horde messed it up (Also died again)
I’d imagine the distrust if they’d try joining a faction would just be too high and would be killed on sight, regardless of them being Scourge or not.
BUT! If they were to join a faction, what benefit do they gain just standing in Stormwind or Orgrimmar all day anyway. Which is how they’ll most likely get roleplayed.
How is this a headcanon? Visit ICC and see for yourself that the mobs are called Darkfallen Classname and “The San’layn” is put in the title field. Of course my analysis of the BfA quest and such would involve some headcanon because of the extreme lack of official information on them, but I’m at least trying to provide evidence and proofs when I stand for something. You just throw random facts and call it a day
Some would also argue that next to the Empire of Star Wars, Nilfgaard from the Witcher could fill that role, if you look at their uniforms, and given Sapkowski went out of his way to make sure that Nilfgaard uses the same terminology for it’s armygroups as the Werhmacht did ( Armygroup Center, Armygroup East etc.) not to mention the dividing of Aedirn between Nilfgaard and Kaedwen in the same way the Germans and Russians divided Poland.
Heck, he even gave Foltest a Chamberlain moment by saying he had brought peace after negotiating with Nilfgaard.
San’layn is the name of a specific kind of vampiric Darkfallen, it’s a subrace, as we see in BfA with a group of independent San’layn being referred to that name, because it is not the name of a sect. Dark rangers are not a sect of Darkfallen, but a subrace of Darkfallen. Banshees are not a sect of Darkfallen, but a subrace of Darkfallen. An elven death knight is not a sect of Darkfallen, but a subrace of Darkfallen. Same with your bog standard Forsaken elf.
This is comming from me… I am literally banished from the Dust Scavengers… And even I reckognize what Kheenah has done to keep the guild alive. To survive the latest time.
Don’t you think I know this? Again banished over here. For exposing these exact things… But they are growing… And things are changing… Lets not condemn anybody at least.
The girl will actually look like a high elf bringing about the complete restoration of Quel’Thalas by reunifying the high and blood elves at long last.
I’ll believe that when I see it. And it’s not your mistake - IMO you were right all along. I was the one making the mistake of defending them, thinking they were better than they were, when in actuality it’s just another haven of perverse yiff that’s manifested on this server.
doesn’t excuse or justify it.
