Talk:Elf
From WoWWiki
It would be nice to see somekind of reference for this Troll becomes Night Elf lineage... No offense to the Trolls. ;-)

Dark Elves
I took out the reference to "Dark Elves" because there aren't any in Warcraft. Sylvannas is just an undead High Elf.

- There are 'dark elves' in scholomance...but they might be undead as well, no one really knows --Bas 19:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I didn't think there would ever be a direct reference to the term "dark elves", but I did find a reference to dark elves in Day of the Dragon.Baggins 22:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Crack Elf
Does anyone know more about that? I think its some kind of corupted Elf. 
- That's simply the data file name for Blood Elves who've let themselves be consumed by their physical desire for magic. Basically, it's both a joke and a serious side-effect, like a crack addict who's overdosed and gone into painful withdrawls. "Crack Elves", or the "Wretched Ones," can be found all over The Ruins of Silvermoon(left of The Dead Scar and Silvermoon City). A captured Wretched One can also be seen in Falconwing Square. ~ Doc Lithius (U)(T)(C) 16:22, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
Tolkien
While I'm fully prepared to accept that Warcraft's elves do draw influences from Tolkien's redition (virtually all elves in modern fantasy do), I'm less certain that we need a huge section that A) summarizes about a third of The Silmarillion and B) implies that Warcraft elves are direct adaptations of Tolkien's. I'm in favor of trimming down and rewording the section extensively. Any thoughts?--Ragestorm 15:21, 10 December 2006 (EST)
High Elves
I was wondering since the High Elves are good, non-demonic, on the Alliance side and technically a different species if they could have a different section in the Notable People section then with the Blood Elves.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mr.X8 (talk · contr).
- Sounds like a good idea... The only problem is when a noteable blood elf was once a noteable high elf :p...Baggins 19:37, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Ooh, you're right, I guess they should go under Blood Elves since they are currently Blood Elves. Or I would think that but maybe not.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mr.X8 (talk · contr).
Then are they staying in 1 group or are we going to split them. All I'm just saying is its easier for someone who wants to see the High Elf's or Blood Elf's article then to seeing who's the High Elf and who's the Blood Elf when theyre in the same group. Mr.X8 15:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- They stay together, because all blood elves used to be high elves. There probably are a few born as blood elves, but they'd still be kids. Plural of "elf" is "elves."--Ragestorm (talk · contr) 20:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Come on, everyone that knows what an elf is knows elves is plural for elf. Mr.X8 03:36, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Highborne
Are there offical sources that say that the Highborne are a separate race? In the time of the WotA, they were simply the upper class magic users of night elf society, with no real physical difference(Dath'remar had light skin, that was more of an individual thing). After most of them broke off and became high elves, things become more blury, as some retain the physical appearance of night elves but are classified as high elves for philosofical reasons. But I haven't personally seen anything that lables them as a race unto themselves, though if anyone can prove me wrong on this, please do.Tweak the Whacked 07:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Are there are official sources? Yes, the citations are already given in the highborne page. Infact according to Lands of Conflict at the time of War of the Ancients, at that time the high elves were still physically the same as the night elves, yet despite their physical appearance the Kaldorei were already divided along racial lines into the night elves and the “highborn” elves. In Warcraft RPG, LoC 17 According to Shadows & Light, "They had been transformed by the magic flowing through their veins".S&L 76" According to warcraft rpg, Once a night elf learned to use arcane spellcasting, he suffered a painful transformation that stripped away his native night elf abilities and replaced them with high elf racial abilities. The complete change occured within the space of a week and could not be reversed once its started.WRPG 45 Although stripped of his racial heritage, his physical attributes did not change.WRPG 57 "physical attributes" = physical appearance.

Felbloods
It might be good to add info and especially update that elves picture with felbloods. --Nurizeko
Scholomance Elf
The elves wandering about scholomance. We have them listed as High elves. they do have some resemblance to Sylvanas, but as far as i know they're not undead. could they be the darkened elves? A little clarificaton would be nice. Meneldir 05:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
.
- They're high elves that are working with the Scourge. That's simply the old high elf model, because for some reason they never replaced the Scholomance mobs with the new ones. -- Dark T Zeratul 05:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Funny, they updated Instructor Malicia. Still, even for back before 2.0 then it's different enough.Meneldir 16:21, 12 March 2008 (Utc)
Dire Maul
I don't see the Dire Maul type of spectre elves in that picture which has the elves next to each other. Rolandius (talk) 05:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
