If i am remembering correctly from last night (because my memory is BAD) the Raithwell Dynasty lasted 400 years before separating leaving the Dalmasca Dynasty to rule for the next 700.
That makes 1100 years and there is no viera alive today who remembers the Raithwell Dynasty (or we would have probably met them since it would’ve been kind of important) so they definitely live less than 1k years. And very likely less than 700.
Some may be that old, but lived in bushes and don’t recall it because they didn’t leave the bush.
Doubt it, by the way the thing goes down in the math lighthouse which I don’t think you’ve done yet so no spoilers?
Think it would’ve been at least been felt by even the most bush dwelling of viera.
EDIT: Also, you don’t just mana bomb a kingdom and not have a race most sensitive to that not feel it. They may not CARE about it, but they would have felt it.
Peeve; the realisation that, no matter how bad things get, whether studios shutter or even staff up and leave entirely, because of the sheer weight of money involved, Warcrafts IP will never be free from ABK and all the guff that goes with it. No people who care about narrative, no RR reboot to fix the past mess.
Greasy little men with greedy hands ruin every creative industry they touch, don’t they? 
You tried
Starshade’s Law is that any change to Warcraft law that involves the night elves will probably retroactively make them look foolish
See: broken isles, night warrior, almost certainly others
Many, many others, but these margins are too small to contain the whole list.
Tyrande’s first WC3 mission also comes to mind - she sees humans and orcs and doesn’t think ‘oh hey, kin of my good friends Rhonin and Broxigar!’ because of the war of the ancients lore not being written yet
I’m one of those people who actually agrees with the continuity quote but it is very funny to see it seemingly only happen to night elves
Bold of you to assume they weren’t already foolish in the first lore iteration.
This is my unpopular take of the day :^)
Tyrande knew of the Plague of Undeath in Tirisfal and also knew the Burning Legion was behind it but chose to do nothing.
And then we burnt down her tree!
take that for letting me fall into undeath!
In other news had a frontline (FFXIV PVP) where a guy tried to justify fighting at the enemies base… Which grants them immunity when they respawn… saying that wouldn’t matter…
Some people man.
What goes around…comes around…

Its weird that Tyrande(or Maiev) didnt notice either the gigantic Mountain, gigantic tree or even the massive magic bubble and ruins of her old home city scattered outside it when it was about speaking distance to the tomb itself.
Or, you know, the fully stocked and garrisoned Vault of the Wardens that is full of frozen demon hunters :V
yep.
She’s reaping what she sows.
Just started Stormblood MSQ, and wow.
A single small quest that conveyed its story entirely in text did something to me that two expansions’ worth of epic cutscenes and dramatic orchestral music couldn’t accomplish.
I literally shed tears. And it’s very, very rare for fiction to make me cry.
I’m surprised just how dark (but the good, late-LOTR kind of dark) FFXIV can get at times. Cute Japanese MMO with catgirls and lolis and mascot costumes and goodness gracious what did I just read.
I’m talking about Griseldis’s quest.
She was looking for herbs to treat her sickly father. The Garleans stopped her and broke her leg just because they thought she looked like a rebel, or were just feeling particularly sadistic. By the time she limped back to her father, it was too late for him. And then the Garleans forbade the rest of her village to aid her to make an example out of her, so now she’s sitting there, barely able to walk, having completely given up on hope for compassion. Even you bringing her ingredients for tea to alleviate her pain is more help than she expected.
I wish I could do more for this one villager than the game let me, and that one small quest got more emotion out of me than all cosmic stories about abstract millions of casualties taken together.
There was a quest in MoP that did that for me - manifesting and then beating up embodiments of depression to free a village from a lethargy that is extremely familiar. Always nice to see those 
Ive barely played past the start (a few attempts), but making a Thaum and having a cinematic of a Potato threatening to break someones kneecaps if they didnt pay their debt sure was a thing? 
Wouldn’t surprise me, the potatoes in that game are vicious little beeps
Reduced to barbarism.
Every kind of elf has a severe species wide character flaw because they fit niches. Typically, it’s some dumb hubris despite millennia of records and living memory of what not to do in a given situation.
