As alliance, feels weird to have invested 1 year plus of my time into two races that are going to be trying to kill me on sight soon.

Google Translate Saves Raid

Posted: 04 Dec 2017 11:08 AM PST

So last week i managed to clear Antorus on normal on my prot pally. As soon as I logged in, i just pugged my way into raid and was summoned. By doing this I missed the legendary ring quest.... Well after completing the raid and doing the little quest line i realized i would have to go kill Argus AGAIN for the week. I pugged into a raid on Aggramar/Argus. Aggramar went off without a hitch but the tank left due to not believing in the DPS. (It was suspect, but i needed my kill so i stayed). We gathered another warrior tank and immediately realised he did not speak english. The raid leader was not aware as I always whisper my fellow tank and set up a whisper window for raid communication. I quickly realized he spoke little to no english and managed just enough to english to inform me he had never done the fight but knew the tactics. After the first pull, it was apparent he did not know the tactics(stacked on me to always get cleaved by scythe). After a wipe he sent something in whisper I did not understand. I dumped it into good translate and enough of it was translated to know he was asking about a buff and position. I translate instructions and sent to him and i guess it was accurate enough to stop the issue. After 2-3 wipes and translating our issues via google translate we eventually downed Argus. He thanks me immensely in broken English before leaving and it just goes to show that sometimes its not the player that is bad, it just takes some time and nice gestures and everyone can down the boss and move on.

Lore: The Nightborne are NOT (Modern) Night Elves

Posted: 04 Dec 2017 12:06 AM PST

All right, so since the BfA announcement there has been a minor uproar over the Horde getting the Nightborne, instead of them staying neutral or going to the Alliance. Now, staying neutral would make sense, so I'm not going to touch upon that.

However, the general consensus seems to be that Tyrande "pushed" the Nightborne towards the Horde. This implies that if she had been a good diplomat, or simply not horrible, they would have joined the Alliance instead - either of political and ideological reasons, OR because they are Night Elves. I am going to adress the second option, which is wrong. Story time:

See, during the War of the Ancients, 10000 years ago, there was a single type of elves: Night Elves. However, culturally they were very different from the purple hippies we see today. They were a magocracy ruled by Queen Azshara, one of the mightiest spellcasters ever (her power level has been directly compared to Archimonde's). The ruling class were the Highborne, a sorcerous elite caste which drew powers directly from the Well of Eternity.

Two cities stuck out: Zin-Azshari and Suramar. Zin-Azshari was the capital that held the Well of Eternity, and where the Legion invaded from. Suramar held the Nightwell and Temple of Elune, and is the birthplace of Tyrande, Malfurion, Illidan and the Shadowsongs. During the war, the Highborne of Suramar raised the shield to protect the city, and sealed it off from the world for 10000 years. During that time period the elves within changed, physically, but not that much culturally. The only real difference is the addiction, otherwise the old Highborne society continued pretty much as normal.

Now, outside the walls, the Night Elves won the war. They were aided by a group of spellcasting Highborne, led by Dath'Remar Sunstrider, who had fled the palace in Zin-Azshari. After the war Malfurion put a ban on arcane magic, because the way he saw it, dabbling into the arcane was the reason the demons had been summoned in the first place. Instead, he changed the surviving Night Elves into a druidic society, relying on nature magic. (This is the reason the Arcan'dor was such a huge deal, combining the two.)

The Highborne, however, did not like this, and continued to cast spells covertly (addiction and all). After almost unleashing a magical catastrophe, they were exiled, and long story short, founded Silvermoon and Quel'thalas. They set up the Sunwell, began to walk around more during the day, and became the High Elves, who later would rename themselves the Blood Elves. Dath'Remar was their king, and his line ruled until we killed off Kael'thas Sunstrider.

Night Elf spellcasters (the Shen'dralar) have joined the Darnassian society later, but were generally disliked, and the other elves were very sceptical to them. AFAIK there is no lore on them after Cataclysm on how good they eventually managed to integrate into society, please correct me if I'm wrong.

So now we have three large groups of elves left: Night Elves, High Elves and Nightborne (and the much smaller Shen'dralar). The Night Elves are a quiet, druidic society living in the middle of Kalimdor. The High Elves are a large isolationist kingdom north in the Eastern Kingdoms, relying on addictive arcane magic and the Sunwell. The Nightborne are a locked in magocracy on the Broken Isles, relying on addictive arcane magic and the Nightwell.

The Night Elves are now very far removed from their old ways, which the Nightborne practice in all its glory, and the High Elves have a society which somewhat resembles it. So when the shield comes down, who are the Nightborne going to feel like they belong to? Hippies that hate arcane magic, or other elves almost just like them, sharing the same addiction, similar culture and core values, and who even mutated in a similar way?

My point is that the Nightborne are almost as separate from the modern Night Elves as the Blood Elves are. Their cultures (and even appearances) have diverged so much that they are no longer comparable to the Night Elves of the Alliance, and culturally much more similar to the Blood Elves. Therefore it makes much more sense for them to join their Blood Elf brethren, and continue to explore the arcane together, than to enter the "new" Night Elf society and become second-rate citizens behind the druids and priests.

TL;DR, teaming up with the Blood Elves (or staying neutral) was always the natural thing for the Nightborne to do, and it was not because Tyrande was mean to them.
