That’s D&D elves
(Tolkien elves are that old brand your grandma used to enjoy, which has now been reintroduced by cynical marketers in “Original Flavor!” packaging)

I listened to some standup and this one made me think of Akamito.
Miquella’s Haligtree.
Surface level D&D elves, though I suppose it could be said that my argument only applies to surface level WoW high elves.
If you go deep into the lore and incorporate all of the crazy stuff that has been written about the Tel-quessir over the decades, you can definitely make some very weird and wonderful D&D elves.
An example of this is the Agelong, a week-long holiday at the height of summer during which elves give thanks their supposed moment of creation, when Corellon defeated Gruumsh. All elves (civilians included) are expected to celebrate this festival by arming themselves and ruthlessly killing as many orcs as possible over the course of the next week. This is seen as a joyous occasion, not a grim duty.
The more you delve into the craziness of deep D&D elf lore, the clearer it becomes that they’re wicked, fey and not really deserving of their standard alignment of “Chaotic Good.” Then again, very few people play them that way.

All elves are inherently boring and I will not take critique.
I also have fresh nachos and they are delicious
I find the wood elves in Warhammer interesting.
The Orion trilogy was great.
reminded I should log into Roo and still do Gelmir Hero’s Grave instead of piddle about re-aquiring all of Von’s stuff.
Did just get Smareg’s Glintstone breath on her, so got that going for me.

Their time has long passed.
I’m old, shush.
To give this a serious answer, the culture of the high elves is The Alliance, as a whole. With everything they’ve already lost already, and how poorly trying to go it alone has gone every other time it’s been tried, they commit heart and soul - to the extent that when their homeland split away they decided to cut ties with their own people in order to maintain their connection to the community they’ve become a part of. That’s hardcore!
I have had rants about high elves and their lore a billion times, and a lack of progression has really hurt them [they should probably have all become blood elves and the sunwell shouldn’t have been reignited], but that hook alone interests me

So am I.
Speaking of (not even close) first day of work tomorrow. I may poo myself or have a mental break down.
Anxiety, you old trout you’ve got me again.

Night elves are pretty much wood elves with the serial numbers filed off and Lileath turned to supreme deity.

I have currently ragequit, because the Haligtree is just…
Ok, I feel Im somewhat justified in feeling like a level 147 character in decent armour and 50 vigor AND talismans should not just be batted around by exploding bubbles and farting ants? On a terribly narrow arena? And then a Trumpet Nuke OHKO me?!
Sounds like I’m going to have fun.
Is it in Faram Azula? Which would be the only area I haven’t visited yet, at least in part.
Can someone explain table top Warhammer for me?
Nope.
Have you reached the Consecrated Snowfield yet?
