Night Elf - Night Warrior RP

[Daellius-sylvanas]

Hi all,

I was hoping some more seasoned roleplayers would be able to help me out with this.

Now we have customisation option for Night Elves’ eyes, I was curious as to how these characters would be played.

How did they get the eyes? Does it symbolise a change in behaviour and outlook? Are these Elves mor focussed on war and conflict? I’d like to hear your thoughts

I think maybe this was answered in another thread, but (perhaps like you;) I didn’t search for it in these forums…

My limited understanding is this:

The night warrior eyes are the visual manifestation of the night warrior power that Elune bestowed upon, primarily, Tyrande Whisperwind as she performed the ritual of the night warrior, and secondarily - upon night elves who were «in the vicinity» at that time.

(Therefore I am reluctant to use this customization myself… If I do, I would need to have it make sense with my character’s story; that this particular night elf actually was there that time, presumably to aid Tyrande in her quest for … vengeance? (No demon hunter pun intended…))

So theres definitely a sense that in proximity, fighting on behalf of the dark element of elune, under the darkened moon, thats what happens. (…) “But I think in the story sense, that any night elf that is fighting on behalf of Elune in that confrontation, their eyes would be darkening” - From the recent lore Q&A “Elune has the power to do this. We’ve established that she does. And here it is again. She calls…
