I’lll post here what i said in the other thread.
And to the question why, I also said.
My conclusion therfore is that while blood elves and nightborne are high elves and night elves but on the horde, they shouldn’t have all the full assets of both.
Blizzard should pick one faction to major in one, and the other faction in the other. Thalassian or night elf.
I would say do up Silvermoon pretty and beautiful… then decide -
1. Alliance get the bulk night elf stuff, all of it but nightborne, horde the thalassian stuff, all but void elves
if alliance is going to major in night elves, then they should get Suramar and a major build up - i’m talking druids, sentinels, priests, highborne, moonguard, Arcane well, world tree, Elune, CoEN etc… their lore their theme - the best stuff from their presundering era (Suramar) and their long vigil era (val’sharah etc)… .Void elves are written into share with them. If high elves come they can split themselves betweeen humans and night elves.
the horde gets the revamped Silvermoon, witha ll the thalassian lore and its assets. the nightborne allied to them go to live there with them.
2. Alliance get the Thalassian elf stuff, the horde the night elf stuff
if alliance is going to major in the Thalassian elves - then high elves and void elves get quel’thalas, and the blood elves lose it
Suramar then is horde, and the blood elves join them in that city, the night elves of the broken isles become part of the effort of the horde, and the night elves become dominant on the horde.
The darnaassian group we originally played in classic, are a remnanat after a genocide, they either get to live with the thalassians in Quel’thalas as lower class sort of thing or in various locations, some with the gilneans, some wtih the humans, but they are a distinctly minorities group.
High elves and void elves are the major alliance elves.
3. Option 3 is as posted Tyllendel: They Share: but with different reasons
Firstly: The elven cities and zones get shared. Silvermoon is shared in a truce between blood elves, high elves and void elves - when the war threatens to destroy the sunwell again in the tug of power, the elves decide this madnessmust stop and the faction conflict must stay out of Quel’thalas. Quel’thalas is declared sacred sanctuary ground and the alliance and horde thalassians agree to both keep the peace, and keep each other in check and the horde and alliance war in check.
in Silvermoon and Quel’danas are the High elves and blood elves. In Ghostlands we get the void elves and san’layn
Secondly: The night elves share Suramar and the broken isles. Far older and far more affected by the legions defeated and liberation of their anceitn duty, despite the vexing of hte horde, the nightborne and night elves end up helping each other. Nightborne owe their kin for 3rice saving them. and the orders create a special relationship. Highborne /Nightobnre , Moonguard/Duskguard get on quite well. Meanwhile, new nightborne druids led by Farodin and the val’sharah druids find kinship in the Cenarion circle night elf druids, and the many new and returned acolytes of Elune from the nightborne find a shared destinty and duty with teh priesthood of elune.
The dedication to order and its ideals for the night elves supercede the horde and alliance war, and this is how Suramar and the broken isles beomes shared. Whiles there are night elves fiercely loyal to the alliance and nightborne who fight for the horde, their devotions come first.( Whether the arcane, or nature or Elune and supercedes faction squabbles), and you never find a nightborne or highborne mage fighting each other, or a nightborne or night elf druid fighitnge each other, nor their priests. but you may have a nightborne priest battling a night elf highborne mage for example.
But even on the battlefield, it is never a direct oonflict, it is more helping their allies and not exactly fighting themselves.
Together the orders each pursue horde and alliance goals. The Order of Elune works to ensure there is never another Arthas or Garrosh arising to terrorise the world, they co-ordinate, the night elves working on the alliance and the nighborne on the horde. The druids work to ensure that the horde and alliance survive and will come together to meet new world threats rather than destroy each other. The mages ensure that learning, civilization and progressive
