No. But your delusions will shatter into tiny pieces.
you can’t reunify what was never united in the first place.

Return to Quel’Thalas for the Horde and the Alliance.
The elven people (HE, BE, VE…) of Quel’Thalas will be reunited.

No they won’t. The blood elves will not forget the countless crimes Vereesa and Umbric committet on their people.
Shakim can’t grasp the fact that whilst in Quel’Thalas - it won’t be the Blood Elves, being absorbed into the High Elf identity - it will be the exact other way round.
All Thalassians will just become Blood Elves - thereby, Horde at the start - then split off to go Alliance if the player chooses.
The best and the only way for playable High Elves is their own separate home (Shandaral in preparation for the Northrend revamp in TLT) where the full legacy of the Quel’dorei, both Highborne and High Elf, can come together for the Alliance.
EDIT:
Too much emphasis is being onto Midnight, when the Army of the Light (so Draenei) will also be involved. I don’t believe this will be as big of an Elf expansion as what the high elf fanatics are making it out to be. Personally, I think this will be a Blood Elf/Draenei expansion, with Nightborne and Void Elf help.
The best expansion to have playable High Elves will be in TLT, with the Northrend revamp. Shandaral can easily be restored and I’d accept that Horde players are killed onsite, if they get too close to the new high elf city.

The void and high elves did their best to impress their human commanders by killing blood elves any time they got a chance. As we know with the Amani the blood elves can hold grudges a long time and their former kin made their loyalty clear. We have no reasons to be nice to Umbric, Vereesa or their stooges. Blizzard better not forget that the aggression NEVER came from the Sin’dorei.
Yes, but the High Elf story in MoP was one of the best arcs to continue driving the faction conflict and it returned to it’s core of why the Silver Covenant was set up in the first place. The Purge of Dalaran was one of the best story arcs for a Horde vs Alliance expansion, that has never been topped.
The Human/High Elf alliance does work in it’s overall setting, just like the Blood Elf/Nightborne/Forsaken alliance.
EDIT:
I’m not saying that the BFA war was bad because the High Elves weren’t there…but the Silver Covenant have the metal to further the faction war. The whole San’layn arc in BFA would have been 100x better if Sandris and the night elves were replaced with Vereesa and the Silver Covenant.
Now, I know some might say “Night Elves needed something after Teldrassil was burned!” but, what did Jaina and the Theramore Human survivors get, in the first patch of MoP?
Honestly, the Silver Covenant could have made the BFA faction war far more interesting because their whole arc is to be against Blood Elves…and what better than have them go against the San’layn…a group of vampire, undead blood elves.

Jaina, Alleria, Turalyon, Dagran, Moira and Anduin ??? 🩷🩷🩷
Yeah… the horde will probably have the same interaction with the elven leaders of the alliance (Vereesa, Alleria, Umbric, Arator…) at Midnight.
Keep telling yourself that. Blizzard will not make the blood elves second fiddle in their own starting zone.
Midnight will not be a 100% blood elf expansion. 
Quel’Thalas will no longer be the Blood Elf starting zone at Midnight, it will become the Horde/Alliance quest zone.

Again with the pointless speculation. Stop arguing your opinion as a given fact. It is not. Blizzard will not take away the blood elf starting zone just because less then 3 high elf fans feel entitled to owning it.
Quel’Thalas will be split into new quest zones for the horde and alliance.
The blood elf starting zone will still exist, you will just need to talk to a bronze dragon NPC to return to the old Quel’Thalas from TBC.

Yeah you are like an NPC you simply repeat the same pattern all over again. This is useless. Have fun arguing with yourself, I am out of here.
You also repeat the same thing, that’s why I have fun with you.

Unite, not reunite, in order to banish the Void from Quel’Thalas. Whether that union will last once we reach Mission Accomplished is another matter entirely.
In Metzen’s own words during that part of the presentation: “It is Azeroth. Things may not go to plan.”
Chris also said that the scattered elven tribes will join this elven reunification.
Maybe there will be new groups of unknown elves.

third faction for all elves please!
Which is why its entirely reasonable, I think, to request things like a nameplate change and visual changes to the EE ability aesthetic, and hairstyles that more resemble high elven looks. Like that doesn’t hurt anyone at all and doesn’t have any effects on established lore or story.
(And I just assume Paladin will eventually be for everyone along with all other classes)
stained is a strong word. Also this only applies to Void Elves with Void… Blood Elves (the ones we play anyways) never took in the Fel. That would be the Felblood Elves who are mostly gone at this point.
Two things here.
First, High Elves never really had a big Light focus before the Blood Elves. They did not wield it in any meaningful ways beyond a priesthood and had few paladins before Arthas’ attack on the Sunwell. Though it should be noted that their uptake on being Paladins SINCE then has greatly swelled, which you can see in Legion when you get High Elves regularly as recruits.
Second, Blood Elves do not need any assistance as of the end of TBC to draw upon the Light. Its stated by Blizzard that only a few still force the Light from one source or another but most are simply faithful now with the Sunwell’s restoration.
The Highvale seem to have. Though of note the Sunwell was restored for all thalassians. They have access to it now and do not need to be near it to get its benefits.
Addressed this in my first tidbit.
Which seems reasonable to me. Either a new city or a settlement akin to the Void Elves one (preferably with like…buildings…) as I suspect if you get more than customization they’ll be an AR and are unlikely to have a “city”.
Totally agree here. But I’m not holding my breath these days.
I tend to find their viewpoints hit that “fanatical” level. >.< Also they get lore about Blood Elves wrong a lot.
I don’t think Blood or Void Elves will be changed by Blizzard at all however more High Elf customizations or options or AR’s came to us. I think they’d be their own thing either barely mentioned at all or just another AR on the pile. Its players that think this somehow would change anything in the narrative meaningfully.
I entirely agree. They take it too far and give everyone a bad name. Most of the High Elf fans, myself included, are fairly reasonable sorts who just want to play the thing we want to play. (I have three high elves these days and while I’m good with where they are there are things I want. Like Tattoos, feather adornments… ect.)
I think they did, but unlike the Humans - they didn’t have huge churches. From what I can gather, the Priesthood of Silvermoon was very closely tied to the Magisters of Silvermoon.
I just did the Culling of Stratholme and the “Priest” units from W3 are called “High Elf Mage-Priest” in that dungeon.
I do think that their was enough of a “Light” focus for them to elect High Priests and High Priestesses, but unlike Kaldorei society, where the “High Priestess” was the defacto leader, after Azshara - the High Elves elected their High Priests/esses on skill and merit with the Light.
For playable High Elves, I would like to see the Quel’dorei Priest thing take some form, because the Blood Elves have their Light focus via the Blood Knights, it would be nice for High Elves to still have their Light focus, but via the old ways of the High Elf Priests.
