Yet, I’m still prettier than a Nightborne, even with my Grey hair

Yes you are grandma.

More than 10,000 years my dear, we have been isolated for 10,000 years, but we were living even before that. You really need to refresh your knowledge of lore.
Well, they’re his descendents, as none of the original tauren whom fought in the WoTA are alive.
But you’re right, there are some cultural differences between the two tauren groups, subtle, but they’re there.
For starts, HMT don’t have priests and Paladins, which tells us their religion is principally shamanic. Also there appears to be more of a “you do religion rather than believe it” certainly if we take Lasan Skyhorns attitude as any indication, where he states he doesn’t really “do” the ritual and ceremony as he’d rather be out in the wilds.
Also with Huln being a central figure in their mythos, and being famed for his deeds and combat, it’s plausible to suggest HMT are a bit more inclined towards action and daring than their Kalimdor brethren, as their very namesake stems from the deeds of one getting involved and fighting the good fight. You can see this attitude in the Skyhorn tribe and bloodtotem whom are inclined to be more forthright in engaging in action and exploits.
Lastly, the HMT are not nomadic as they never experienced the diaspora of their people due to conflicts with Centaur, which probably has a lot to do with their slightly more gung ho attitude, as they’ve had to protect the Hammer of KG and their lands by proxy, rather than seek to avoid trouble and live “on the road” in peace for a long part of their existence.
There’s lots of overlap for sure, and I recognise this is me “reading into” the presentation of the HMT depiction, but I’d summarise it as follows:
- HmT are more prone to “hero worship” given the Huln legend
- they’re more territorial
- they have even simpler belief systems than tauren and use less ceremony in their rites
- the appreciate the element of sky equally to earth, whereas OG tauren emphasise the earth more.
- they’re more prone to acting rather than negotiation if the situation calls for it.
- they’re more adventurous as their ancestral hunting grounds are more varied
- they probably have greater physical fortitude (breath) than regular tauren due to living on high planes which has probably had an effect on their lung capacity
- this suggests there’s a chance they’re probably more prone to swimming than regular tauren, particularly given Salmon fishing and catching is a large part of their food supply.
- they display a slightly more agricultural culture, possibly because hunting game isn’t always reliable due to the high amount of other predators in their lands, and the access to several streams makes irrigation possible.

At least I’m not biased, you only want the Horde elves to be called Highborne, THAT is bias against the Void elves, High elves, and Night elf mages
You only accept the lore you like and deny the lore you don’t like
Your ego makes you blind
An elf without a Highborne blood is not a Highborne. 
Who do you think High elves come from? Void elves? Blood elves? nightborne? They are all descendants of the Highborne. And if you deny some of them (the alliance side) their heritage and only accept The Horde elves Heritage, that itself is bias.
I mean… I don’t even need to explain this
Alleria still a high elf , you are void elf
all elves are highborne…lol
Nope. It says in lore, the book, wowhead, and pretty much many sources that she is a Void elf. The very first Void elf to exist. She also leads us along with Umbric.
Why do you think we got natural skin?
Vereesa is a High elf. Don’t mix the two sisters up. I know it’s confusing.
Well void did not changed her appearance…like other void elves
That was the argument used against Blizzard, that Alleria can be natural. hence we got Natural skin.
ok… what about tentacles on your head as hair? XD
This hairstyle doesn’t have any tentacles…
It does in back? Also, there are pretty much visible differences between Alleria and other void elves.
If she leads void elves does not mean she is void elf. Like Sylvanas leading undeads…She is high elf…not undead

Nope. It doesn’t. Trust me I’ve played this character for a LONG time I would notice if there was shiny tentacles on the back.
There are also 3 other hairstyles without tentacles.
She is, according to lore. But don’t take my word for it, A simple Google search will tell you that lol. Or go to any accurate sources, or even the In-game lore.
As a matter of fact, I will do the work myself and list some of the things here.
Proof 1: she is our racial leader along with Umbric. She’s actually more active than Umbric, and she gives us our heritage Armor.
Proof 2: a book confirmed it.
“After absorbing the power of the dark naaru [L’ura] in the ruins of [Mac’Aree] on [Argus], Alleria became the first [void elf], and now leads others like her in the Alliance following the defeat of the Legion.”
Proof 3: “During this time, Alleria learned about the powers of the Void, and eventually mastered them during the Argus campaign, being reborn as the first Void Elf, or Ren’dorei.” - Wowhead
Proof 4: she refers to herself as Void elf
Proof 5: Locus-Walker says this:
“I sensed that change was destined to find Alleria Windrunner, but I did not anticipate that her kin would undergo a similar transformation.”
Nah she ain’t. She is definitely a Voidy, the confusion comes from the fact that she was created differently from the player character, in much the same way as Arthas became a Death Knight before he became Lich King, but the nature of him becoming a Death Knight was different from how the player Death Knight becomes one. She is in lore emphatically a Void Elf.
Ermm? All of them bar most Kaldorei are, or at least are descended from them. I mean there -is- that story, ‘Blood of the Highborne’ which details the creation of the Blood Knights. So if the Blood Elves are regarded in such a way, then so are the High Elves. Void Elves are of the same genetic stock, though with them it is more debatable as the Void has physically altered them.
She -is- a racial leader remember. They often look different to the playable species…
Err. No. She most definitely is Undead. Her Wowpedia entry with lore sources makes this abundantly clear. She -was- a High Elf, then was risen from the dead, becoming an Undead Banshee, and later regaining her mortal body. She’s still Undead, just like all Death Knights are Undead.

She is not affected and have different void magic effect on her then other void elves, clearly to see.
She is high elf with void powers but not same as void elves are.
Banshee elf, not like horde undead race.
