    Vereesa Windrunner... one of the many reasons we want playable high elves on the Alliance. At least our wish was halfway granted in Shadowlands, with blood elf skin- tones for void elves. Hopefully the next expansion will give them natural hair colors, less emo hairstyles, and paladins to go along with the much- speculated Light- theme.

    • @eldritchdragon5755
      @eldritchdragon5755 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It absolutely disgusts me, that anyone who dares to make a suggestion for playable High Elves is labeled as "entitled" or "deranged". While the Blood Elves make up 90% of the Horde population, and both the males and the females already have gorgeous customization options. Blood Elf players are expecting to have both normal blood elf options and undead elf options. Yet, these same exact people cry and get triggered whenever someone asks if Void Elves can have a couple or few nice hairstyles that could work for a Void Elf or a High Elf. (The males especially could use one long, attractive hairstyle.) The hypocrisy and toxicity of these Blood Elf players almost makes me wish that Blizzard would give the Void Elves nice High Elven hair just to spite all the salty Blood Elf players.

And it's likely one Human leading over a specific group of Kael'thas' finest wouldn'r be all that common for most of the Blood & High Elves. But you know what they do have?

      @Hawkknight97 Funny how the oath meant in their eyes that humans were supposed to help them but never the other way around. The ones who still think like are now the Blood Elves and the ones who didn't are the High Elves of the Alliance. Humans called for their helped twice, both times they were ignored. "Arthas here came back... Kinda killing all of us and turning us into zombies! SEND HELP! Accept our refugees!" Garithos became so awefull of a person because the Quel'thalas watched his town get burned and everybody killed. "They just stood on their gate, not sending help or engaging the Horde" something in this line. We can say one thing the casualties would have been far less worse if they simply answered the call for help at the very least.

Gilneas is in ruins because they isolated themselves and thus the 7th Legion arrived too late (they were contacted by the night elves to assist Gilneas).

      Vareesa already existed before the book. Authors do not have total control over the books they write, everything in the books comes from Blizzard or must be approved by them. If it was a self insert or a character he created, they would have killed her like all other of Knaak's characters.
