Survived Stranglethorn last night and got my troll tusks. We went in with a party of 3 in case of any Horde trouble and ended up not encountering any.

40k should separate the Tau forces between the mechas (cool) and the ragtag amalgam of Halo Covenant forces like the Kroot, Vespids, and Imperial ‘defectors’ (also cool).

Can’t be worse than the legendary wizard Melf, so named for his character sheet in ye olden days saying Male Elf.

Mito’s uncle.

Character concept: night elven food vendor who remembers every regular customer over the millennia.
“Hey bossman, kabob as usual?”

Sure it does.

Forgotten Realms Elvish is what Blizzard languages will become if Blizzard isn’t careful: a phonetically inconsistent mess caused by different writers inventing words independently from each other with no rhyme or reason.

i read somewhere that the reason the night elves didn’t help the tauren while they were getting wiped out wholesale by the centaur was because they were recovering from the war of the shifting sands

i’m not sure if i am completely down with that explanation, but i like it better than the alternative that they just didn’t care

although both can be true, with the former being used as an excuse

For 1000 years?? Tauren were still getting wrecked by it during the Third War, until Thrall came along to help out.

They probably were just embarrassed for Huln, tbf.

hence me thinking that everytime the tauren reached out they were like “yeah nah sorry we’re still recovering from that war we had recently” while the tauren are stunned that like 9 generations is considered recent

immortal races am i right.

They probably just didn’t care, but it’s not like Blizzard is going to clarify it either way, so just accept the headcanon you like best!

Blizz have like five things happening in 10,000 years and still can’t wrangle them properly.

i prefer to imagine that the night elves were like the cia over the long vigil and were holding back other civilisations from flourishing as long as they could

they were very busy, but pretend that they weren’t

NElves: We will keep a close watch on the world, and protect it from the terrors that arcane magic might bring about.
Also NElves: Guardian of What-isfal?
Also also NElves: The Sun-what!?

The Dark Portal was a Kaldorei plant to curb the rapidly growing human kingdoms and prevent them expanding across the sea.

What they hadn’t expected was that the orcs would stick around and eventually open up shop on their doorstep.

An unintentional self own.

Kel’thuzad was told about the ability of the Sunwell to restore his body if he died by a Kaldorei agent, just to make sure the scourge went after the High Elves too and didn’t miss them.

Stop peeking into Lintian’s speech scripts!

But yes, hypocrisy is par the course for night elves. Their “custodianship of the world” boiled down to “get off my lawn”, and the couple of times they (or specifically Fandral) did try to intervene, they made things even worse.
