A true warrior needs not to see his target. His allies should be disciplined enough to stand behind him, and he can charge in flailing wildly until nothing from his enemies stands except for pairs of legs which used to have torsos attached to them.

Hacking limbs takes too much effort. Slashing throats is much faster and easier.

To the front, spread the word. And the word is Kaldore... not Kal'dorei

Kaldorei.


I think I hit the backspace one too many times, which is why the 'i' isn't there.

You left out the "i" in "Kaldorei", Mely.

I AM NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN!

I would not be surprised if Melyria is manic enough to flip a Darnassian coin to decide if a person lives or dies.

Too bad both sides are the same. Heads you die, heads you die.

Blood Elves

Blood Elves are viewed much like how Orcs view their fel corrupted kin, with a mix of disgust and shame. They view Blood Elves and High Elves as bastard races who only spit in the face of everything their people stand for. Hostility is expected.


I've always found this amusing. There was no hostility between Kael'thas, Tyrande, and Mal'furion when they met in Warcraft 3. In fact, it was Tyrande who offered to aid Kael'thas and his people. Also, if it weren't for Kael'thas, Malfurion would have continued to believe Maiev and never learned that Tyrande was still alive and considering the situation Tyrande would have eventually fell.

It is to my understanding that Malfurion and Tyrande did not know who/what the Blood Elves were because they were so different looking. Same reason that the Naga were unknown.

As well, the act of one does not make up for the racial view of the whole race. Remember, these are the descendants of the same outcasts that nearly destroyed Ashenvale with a magical storm.

We are talking about spiritual leaders here, the examples of a race. They were well aware of what they were, in fact they greeted each other appropriately and this little piece of the conversation.

"Maiev: Kael, where are your high elven brethren? Do they not fight the undead
as you do?

Kael'thas: The Scourge devoured our ancient homeland of Quel'Thalas. The once
proud bloodline of my people is nearly spent. The few of us that remain now
call ourselves blood elves, in homage to our murdered people.

Tyrande: I grieve for your people, Kael. But you must not allow rage and
despair to poison your heart. You may lead your people to a brighter future."

Oh, and prior his corruption by the Naga, Illidan, and the Legion, Kael'thas was a cool dude. Unfortunately, Maiev was always a %@!@*.

"Kael'thas: We must hurry to save her! That current will take her straight into
the heart of the undead lands!

Maiev: No, Kael. Tyrande is a soldier; she knew the risks she took. We have a
greater mission to accomplish now, and our time grows short. Your people are
now safe. You will uphold your end of the bargain and help me hunt the demon I
seek."

They called them high elves, not Blood Elves. Considering that humans and Night Elves had some contact at that point it may not be out of the questiont hat Night Elves -knew- what High Elves were. Later they may've found out they were the Highborne.

The Kaldorei obviously don't like the Blood Elves. Even before they joined The Horde the Night Elves attacked the Blood Elves, with likely no real approval from the rest of the Alliance.

In the quote Kael'thas tells both of them that the High Elves have changed their names to the Blood Elves in honor of those who had fallen to the Scourge. She did not seem 'put off' by it at all. Afterwards, Kael'thas and his people continued to serve the Lordaeron Alliance for a while until they are left to die and eventually accept aid from the Naga.

The Night Elves that arrived in Quel'thalas did not attack the Blood Elves directly. Instead, according to the quest chain, they were sent to spy on the Blood Elves along with a Dwarf from Ironforge.

You are just speculating that they attacked the Blood Elves because they don't like them, but the quest chain suggest otherwise. The letter retrieved from a Night Elf was written in Dwarvish. The quest text states:
"Are you sure you found these on a night elf? They're clearly written in Dwarven...

From what I can understand of this letter, whoever wrote this did not cause the malfunction, but rather was sent here as a spy to observe the results of it. They call our endeavors reckless and dangerous... but who?

Of course! That envoy from Ironforge! We were fools to trust anyone belonging to the Alliance!"

The Night Elves and the Dwarf were both sent by the Alliance to spy on the Blood Elves. And the Blood Elves were still bitter over what the remnants of the Old Alliance put their people through and they drove their deceptive Alliance invaders from their lands.
