@@huppupappa1637 Because Blood Elves get to have one of the best mogs in World of Warcraft. I don't really think that Blood Elves this xpac can make up over half of the Horde race anymore. Since we got upright Orcs and Zandalari(soon), I don't think that Blood elves are that much. Plus some of them are race changing to Void elf (If they play Alliance). They got one of the best Paladin/Mage racial I believe too.
You forgot to mention that a BIG reason why they joined the horde is that they were kicked out of the Alliance by a racist general. After their banishment, they were left vulnerable to the lich King. The only faction to come to their aid was the forsaken. Because of that, they felt they could rely on the Horde.
Sky Rasmus But then again, the Horde did much more atrocities committed to Quel'thalas in the past. And that general died and was denounced by the same faction he think he represented.
Saurfang for example was present during the second war, in which the Horde at the time razed a lot of Quel'thalas. So them joining the Horde makes very little sense, as they should hate the Horde almost as much as the Scourge. Also, Garathos being racist towards them means very little. Long before it happened, Blood elves were racist towards every other race on Azeroth, thinking themselves better than them. One example is Stromgarde asking them for help with the trolls, and the Blood elves denying because they were human. In short, Blood elves are whiny bitches and massive hypocrites.
Oluf The Explorer what other choice did they have? The alliance almost executed Kael JUST BECAUSE A NAGA HELPED HIM CROSS A FUCKING RIVER. Its not logical, maybe, but most of the horde is like that. They didnt become allies because the other races looked friendly , but because they could only survive together. Btw not all elves are like that.

@@ironlordshellhead3415 Jaina was born that way, which is mostly rare for non-magical societies.

Wizards are usually those who earn their magical power through dedication and study as opposed to naturally talented sorcerers. So Jaina in a sense rigged the system, even if that system is fundamentally was opposed to her due to her being a woman. So she was both born with innate magical talent and also got more advanced scholarship as a wizard that allowed to expand her power even further.

I love a good Warcraft history video. One of the things that saddens me is how many WoW players have *no* idea of Warcraft history pre-WoW. There's 15+ years of documented lore, yet so many players are ignorant. The elves of Warcraft are the most varied and changing of the races. - It's an interesting point of lore that's never really addressed: how we still have "High Elves" in WoW (Alliance; blue eyes and fair skin/hair), usually part of the Silver Covenant, that aren't a playable race. I get that lore-wise they might be a bit lackluster, and given the model-riggings of the Void Elves, would be identical, save for aesthetics... it still should be implemented.
I play blood elf a lot of the time because I like the 2 zones. Even when I make a goblin or dk I often go to the start of the blood elf zone once I'm out of the starting zone.
Technically the group that became Blood Elves left before Malfurian and Tyrande had enough power to have them exiled. The smaller groups exiled later like those from the Wolf heart novel kind of suffered for this.
Blood Elfs are thr strongest playable Race. No fear of Magic Arcane/Fel. Very old, so much knowlege, trainig (Weapons) uses Light from the Sunwell ( Paladins) high tactician (Farstriders) and have Spellbreakers. In conclusion, they are just a smal amount of Blood Elfs but they are very powerfull.
There have the best mages on the planet aside from blue dragons perhaps. Their ranger skills are on par if not superior to trolls and their skill agility and speed makes them vastly superior to humans in a 1v1 (not to mention potential decades or even centuries of training/combat experience). Perhaps the Night Elves are equally strong with the druid magic, the blessings of the aspects and their "natural allies" which we barely see in WoW. Whoever played WC3 knows how hard it was for the Scourge that just (easily) defeated Lordaeron and thus had tons of new "recruits" to conquer Quel'thalas. Funnily enough the vast majority of notable mages are humans and no elves
@@lytherael2309 we do have lore on them, not old lore like the non-allied races, but its still lore. when the sunwell was purified to be a source of light magic, all blood elves in silvermoon that practiced void magic were hunted and cast out of silvermoon. they continued practicing in ghostlands for a little while, one of them made a mistake and got them all trapped in the void after opening a portal. then alleria and players discover what happened to these elves and set out to save them because alleria believes the void can be harnessed as a powerful weapon like all other magic. we save the void corrupted elves trapped in the void and out of gratefulness that the alliance saved their lives, they forgive the past grievances blood elves as a whole once had with the alliance and join the alliance.
Uh, their skin didn't change due to the magic of the Sunwell, it changed because they lost their immortality upon being exiled, so they grew smaller, while losing the purple color of their skin. You also forgot to mention one of the most powerful mage classes unique to the Blood Elves called Blood Mages, which can summon Phoenixes to fight at their side like Kael'thas' Al'ar.
If it wasn't for Slyvanas blood elves/high elves would of been killed by Lich King army completely. Slyvanas knew she was going die fighting Lich King. She was all alone well her sisters wasn't there helping her. Slyvanas been suffering. All she wants is to go back to her normal life with her sisters and her people. She tried do that but people wouldn't except her who she is and what she become thanks to Lich King. Slyvanas deep down inside she is heart broken but since she dead its hard for her to have emotions. Slyvanas will forever be remember as hero for Blood elves.
Actually, if Sylvanas hadn't fought Arthas and making his conquest harder than it needed to be, no harm would have come to the elves. Remember that he was only there to resurrect Kel'thuzad, nothing else.
@@oluftheexplorer9476Her sister left her alone to die to fight their homeland. Her sister acts like they are heroes and just forget about Slyavanas and how much she suffered. I'm glad Blood elves don't welcome Slyvanas sisters since they are traitors and left their own people to suffer.
@@mr.kingofphenomenal4629 Alleria left many many years before to fight the Horde who destroyed her land, so she is THE hero of her people. She didn't come back due to events that led to her being trapped in the Dark Beyond. Vereesa though... not sure where she was at the time... I don't think it's specifically stated anywhere, in which case it's an oversight by Blizzard. Regardless, no one abandoned her, they were just not there at the time of the events.
@@oluftheexplorer9476 None of them don't even understand what going on with Slyvanas. They ignore her after what she did just to protect her people. Slyvanas is a true hero well her sisters are selfish annoying brats. Slyvanas is true war chief. FOR THE HORDE AND FOR THE SLYVANAS!!!
@@mr.kingofphenomenal4629 Well if you think Hitler with tits is a true Warchief then you clearly have issues. Anyway, no, Sylvanas is a messed up bitch whose story should have ended after the events at Icecrown. But no, they kept her in the game for no real reason for about 6 years, and make her just evil for evils sake, which is THE worst kind of character you can imagine. If she isn't killed off at the end of this expansion, then Blizzard have truly failed. And this time, it's a unredeemable failure
No one can resist death it self. As Arthas Menethil is just a mere representation of the grim reaper himself with god like powers. Anar'alah, Anar'alah belore, Sin'dorei.
Question : If a creature comes in contact with the river under nordrassil , will they evolve ( trolls +well of eternety =night elves , night elves +sunwell,=HIGH elves, murloc+the well of pandaria=jinyu , etc)
There's nothing to say about them since they are a retarded fan fiction race that makes absolutely no sense in the context of the game or lore, and should never have existed in the first place. The ONLY reason they do exist is because Blizzard needed something to give the Alliance as a opposite to Nightborne
Did you know 9 night elves actually causes the Great Sundering . We landed a massive victory against the burning legion !!!!!! Kalimdor is what is today because of us 🖤
Great video, watched the undead one too. One thing though, the character height 5ft-6ft is not 170-180cm it should it be 152cm to 182? 10cm would only be a 4" difference.
I really wish that the Blood Elves joined the Alliance again, even Lorthe'mar considered this choice when Varian asked him but due to Jaina's action to be specific Garrosh's machinations as using the blood elves to steal the Divine Bell Jaina purged the Sunreavers from Dalaran forcing Lorthe'mar to stick with the Horde. But I think that in the future the Elves would join the alliance again or even if they don't many would learn and study void magic.
Since community contributions have been deactivated I'd like to add Turkish translation here as a comment. Toplanın Blood Elf'çi gardaşlarım 0:35 sonrasından başlayın. -Yaklaşık on bin yıl önce Kraliçe Azshara kontrolünde kurulan, Highborne adı verilen bir büyü tarikatı (oluşumu) vardı. Well of Eternity vasıtasıyla büyüye merak duydular ve bu ilgileri pek çok diğer elf tarafından kültürlerine karşı bir küfür olarak görüldü. Highborne'lar Kraliçe'ye karşı aşırı sadıklardı ve kendilerini diğer night elflerden üstün görürlerdi. Azshara düşüp Malfurion kontrolü ele geçirdiğinde Highborne'lar, kudretli kraliçelerinin yokluğunda, diğer elfler tarafından küçük görüldüler. Büyü Night Elf'ler arasında yasaklanmıştı ancak Highborne'lar büyüyü kullanmaya devam ettikleri için Kalimdor'dan sürgün edildiler. Nereye gittiklerini bile bilmeden yollarına devam ettiler ve Doğu Krallıklarına ulaştılar, orada kendi toplumlarını inşa ettiler. Kıtanın kuzeyine yerleştiler ve kadim Well of Eternity vasıtasıyla Sunwell'i oluşturdular. Bu yeni enerji onların ten renklerini ve değiştirdi ve elflere mahsus olan bazı özelliklerini kaybettiler. Bin yıl boyunca Sunstrider hanedanı yönetiminde refah içerisinde yaşadılar. Ancak krallıklarını Trollerin antik diyarına kurdukları için Troller bu durumdan haz etmedi. Uzun yıllar boyunca Trollerle savaştılar ve genelde kolaylıkla geri püskürttüler ancak bir noktada Zandaları'nin de yardımıyla Trollere karşı kaybedecek duruma geldiler. Bu noktada İnsanlardan yardım aldılar ve Amaniyi tamamen yenilgiye uğrattılar ve böylelikle yeni bir ırkla olan ilk diplomatik ilişkileri başlamış oldu. Böylelikle Alliance'a katılıp büyülerini onlarla paylaştılar ve ardından Orklara karşı yapılan savaşa dahil oldular. Savaşların ardından Alliance ile aralarında daha önceki bazı olaylar sebebiyle bir gerilim oluştu. Bir istila başladı ve pek çok insan krallığı undeath'ler tarafından yok edildi. Lordaeron'un eski prensi Arthas Quel'Thalas'a o zamana kadar yapılmış en büyük taarruzu gerçekleştirdi. Krallarını öldürdü, Krallığı yok olmanın eşiğine getirdi ve Blood Elf nüfusunun yüzde doksanını öldürdü. Dökülen onca kanın ardından Highborne yahut High Elf olarak bilinen Elf'ler kendilerinin Blood Elf yahut Sin'dorei olarak adlandırdı. Sunwell yok edildi ve büyü açlığı duyan Blood Elfler Illidan'ın peşinden giderek Fel kullanmaya başladılar. Outland'de yaşananlardan sonra geriye kalan Blood Elfler yardım almak ve berbat hale gelmiş krallıklarını tekrar inşa etmek için Horde'a katıldı. Bir noktadan sonra Prens Kael'Thas delirdi (mecazen) ve bu durum onları bir iç savaşın eşiğine getirdi. Böylelike yaşam şekilleri epey değişti. Sunwell tekrar canlandırıldı, Lich King mağlup edildi ve krallığın pek çok kısmı yeniden inşa edildi. Bügün, Blood elfler Horde'un epey büyük bir parçası ve pek çok olayda önemli rol oynuyorlar. *Tarihlerinden bu şekilde kısaca bahsettikten sonra karakter yapıları hakkında ve ne kadar güçlü oldukları hakkında konuşmaya devam ediyor* Elfler aslen Troll ırkındanlardı daha sonra Night Elf olarak bildiğimiz ırka dönüştüler ardından Night Elf içerisinde Highborne olarak adlandırıldılar ve akabinde High Elf oldular. Özünde bir zamanlar oldukları Night Elflere bazı özellikleri hariç çok benziyorlar. Ortalama 170-180 cm boyundalar ve ince atletik bir vücuda sahipler Bir bakıma uzun süredir beraber yaşadıkları insanlara çok benziyorlar, insanın biraz daha ince hali gibiler yani genel olarak Night Elfler ile İnsanların karışımı gibiler. Epey eşsiz bir karakter yapısına sahipler, genelde uzun saçlılar ve sakalsızlar Blood Elfler özünde High Elflerdir, aradaki tek fark Blood Elfler Fel'e maruz kaldığı için, Orkların tenleri gibi Elflerin de gözleri yeşildir. Ancak Sunwell tekrar oluşturulup temizlenildiğinde bazı Blood Elflerin gözleri yeşilden sarıya döndü. Çabuk yaşlanırlar ancak uzun yaşarlar ortalama bin yıla kadar yaşarlar. En yaşlı ırklardan biridir ve aynı zamanda en zekilerden birisidir. Hayatlarının uzunluğunu ve tarihlerini kaydetmeleri sebebiyle çok zengin bir kültüre sahiplerdir. Büyü Blood Elf topluluğu içerisinde çok önemlidir aynı zamanda sürülme sebepleri, krallıklarını kuran şey ve yıkıldıktan sonra tekrar inşa eden şeydir. Bundan ötürü Blood Elfler ırklar arasında büyüye en yatkın olanıdır. Büyü onlar için o kadar önemlidir ki çoğu buna bağımlıdır. Bu sebepten ötürü büyüsüz kaldıkları zaman fel kullanmak zorunda kalmışlardır. Bazıları aşırı derecede bağımlı hale gelip fel kullanırken aşırı bağımlı hale gelip akıllarını yitirmişlerdir. Aşırı gururlu ve epey kibirli bir ırktır, kendilerini üstün ırk olarak görürler. Bu düşüncelerinin sebepleri Azshara'ya kadar dayanıyor tabii. Epey mantıklı bir ırktır ve vatanlarını çok severler ancak diğer ırklar kadar inanca bağlılıkları yoktur. Son zamanlarda Light'ın gücünü fark ettiler ancak eskiden yaptıları gibi bu güce zorla sahip olmak yerine ona hizmet etmeye başladılar. Ancak yine de bu durum toplulukları içerisinde çok yaygın değil. En yaygın binekleri Hawkstrider'lardır, bu hayvan Quel'Thalas ormanlarının yerel ırklarındandır. Uçan bineklerde isen genelde Dragonhawk'ları kullanırlar, çoğunlukla Farsttrider'ları Hawların üzerinde savaşırken görebilirsiniz. Blood Elf'ler büyüsel binekler ve hayvanlar çağırabilir ayrıca construct'ları ve silahları da kullanabilirler. Savaşta çoğunlukla Arcane Guardian'ları her çeşit Golemi ve savaş makinelerini kullanırlar. Çoğu techizatları gücünü büyüden alır. Blood Elfler çok güçlü büyücülerdir hatta çoğu ırk büyünün kullanımını onlardan görmüştür. Magister'ler büyücüleri yöneten gruptur Son dönemlerinde Kael'Thas Fel'e ilgi duymaya başladığı için Blood Elflerden çok güçlü Warlock'lar çıkmaya başlamıştır. Büyücüklerinin yanı sıra Far Striders olarak bilnen ve Quel'Thalas'ın sınırlarını binlerce yıldır koruyan avcılara sahiptir. Son olarak Blood Knight adıyla bilinen Blood Elfler vardır, bunlar Paladin statüsündedirler ve kralllığın önemli bir parçası haline gelmişlerdir. Toparlayacak olursak Blood Elfler Azeroth'un en eski ırklarındandır. Dünyanın yerel sakinlerindendirler ve pek çok değişime uğramışlardır ve pek çok şeyi de değiştirerek dünya tarihine şekil vermişlerdir. Kovuldular, savaştılar, yenildiler ve yok edildiler ancak her seferinden toparlanıp ayağa kalktılar ve bugünlerde kudretli bir geri dönüş yapıyorlar. En güçlü büyücüler, avcılar ve paladinlerden olan Blood elfler Azeroth'un en güçlü ırklarından biridir.
Question: Did high elves (or do blood elves right now, for that matter) had a part of their military that's not Rangers just normal foot soldiers? Like, infantrymen? Or did their whole military just consist of battlemages and rangers?
hey dorons! quick question. Are dk the strongest class lore wise? i mean those who fell to the lich king and risen again were already heroes before turning into dks, which means they have knoweledge on other roles f or combat (like being mages, hunters etc) and can technically use them as much as their dks skills
The original elven race was not night elves, they were the elves of magick. The night elves did not practice druidism until the twins were born! Night elves came AFTER the original high elves!
Pandaren are kind of in the middle. A decent population, lots of land, an ancient race with lots of experience, aid of the celestials, etc.. They have good infantry with their Spearguard, excellent toe to toe fighters with their monks, which also make up healers and brewmasters. They are smart, strong, lots of mass for a size advantage, and cook good food. They have city-large populations w/ both Huojin and Tushui. As a whole, they are very strong at the moment, with their only shining weakness being the sha. I'd say 7/10 power wise.
Just remember Arthas and the scourge may not have won if it weren't for Dar'khan Drathir betraying the high elves and helping the scourge get through the defensive gates.
Was his mission time sensitive? I wonder what would have happened if he took too long to get kel'thuzad rezzed would they have abandoned the invasion alltogether to find another powerful source to bring him back.@@MyViolador
@Szymon Kaliński Sylvanas was HIGH ELF at time of her death at the hands of Death Knight Arthas Menethil (during Scourge invasion of Quel'thalas); Blood Elves WERE created AFTER invasion and Kael'thas' destruction of corrupted Sunwell
@@aleksandarvil5718 blood elfs and high elf are the same thing same.... race...they weren't created...darron event mention this in his video in memory of the fallen ones they renamed themsefs blood elfs
In small numbers blood elves are strong but as an overall race they are just barely a footnote in lore. Theres just too few of them to bolster any army which is why they are usually seen in advisory roles, and elite guards.
@@MyViolador all of whom wouldn't exist if blood elves hadn't taught the humans magic? Kael'thas was stronger than Jaina as a mage, and Rommath is very close, as is Aethas Sunreaver...Medivh and Aegwynn were guardians so they do not count, they have the power of hundreds of mages at their disposal. As for Khadgar...he was the student of a Guardian, and also posseses Atiesh, so he is on a level most mages don't reach. And if you really think about it, BEs are better mages simply because they can live longer and thus learn more, to go along with their natural aptitude for magic.
Powerful enough to make up the entirety of Horde player population.
Over 50%... I wonder always why.
And if they actually make high elves an allied race
? Would be the doom of the horde, that race pretty much saved horde population from being out numbered 2 to 1 like it was in vanilla

We have like... literally no lore on the void elves, though.
i'm sure he will get to all races at some point..
@@lytherael2309 we do have lore on them, not old lore like the non-allied races, but its still lore. when the sunwell was purified to be a source of light magic, all blood elves in silvermoon that practiced void magic were hunted and cast out of silvermoon. they continued practicing in ghostlands for a little while, one of them made a mistake and got them all trapped in the void after opening a portal. then alleria and players discover what happened to these elves and set out to save them because alleria believes the void can be harnessed as a powerful weapon like all other magic. we save the void corrupted elves trapped in the void and out of gratefulness that the alliance saved their lives, they forgive the past grievances blood elves as a whole once had with the alliance and join the alliance.
@@roflstompin 10 minutes lore
@@jackmion na, 6 min of stupid lore
Uh, their skin didn't change due to the magic of the Sunwell, it changed because they lost their immortality upon being exiled, so they grew smaller, while losing the purple color of their skin. You also forgot to mention one of the most powerful mage classes unique to the Blood Elves called Blood Mages, which can summon Phoenixes to fight at their side like Kael'thas' Al'ar.
Who are stronger, the night elves or the blood elves??
Arnold Teras Depends on how you want to sum up all their stats
Enemy mage: behold my most powerful spell.
Spell breakers: u mean our spell
/cast spellsteal
/Cast Consume Magic
/Cast silence
/Devour magic
/Cast glaive throw
/Cast spell reflect
/Cast Shield Bash
Their only weakness, at least by argument, is their numbers...

If it wasn't for Slyvanas blood elves/high elves would of been killed by Lich King army completely. Slyvanas knew she was going die fighting Lich King. She was all alone well her sisters wasn't there helping her. Slyvanas been suffering. All she wants is to go back to her normal life with her sisters and her people. She tried do that but people wouldn't except her who she is and what she become thanks to Lich King. Slyvanas deep down inside she is heart broken but since she dead its hard for her to have emotions. Slyvanas will forever be remember as hero for Blood elves.
Actually, if Sylvanas hadn't fought Arthas and making his conquest harder than it needed to be, no harm would have come to the elves. Remember that he was only there to resurrect Kel'thuzad, nothing else.
@@oluftheexplorer9476Her sister left her alone to die to fight their homeland. Her sister acts like they are heroes and just forget about Slyavanas and how much she suffered. I'm glad Blood elves don't welcome Slyvanas sisters since they are traitors and left their own people to suffer.
@@mr.kingofphenomenal4629 Alleria left many many years before to fight the Horde who destroyed her land, so she is THE hero of her people. She didn't come back due to events that led to her being trapped in the Dark Beyond.
Vereesa though... not sure where she was at the time... I don't think it's specifically stated anywhere, in which case it's an oversight by Blizzard.
Regardless, no one abandoned her, they were just not there at the time of the events.
@@oluftheexplorer9476 None of them don't even understand what going on with Slyvanas. They ignore her after what she did just to protect her people. Slyvanas is a true hero well her sisters are selfish annoying brats. Slyvanas is true war chief. FOR THE HORDE AND FOR THE SLYVANAS!!!
@@mr.kingofphenomenal4629 Well if you think Hitler with tits is a true Warchief then you clearly have issues.
Anyway, no, Sylvanas is a messed up bitch whose story should have ended after the events at Icecrown. But no, they kept her in the game for no real reason for about 6 years, and make her just evil for evils sake, which is THE worst kind of character you can imagine.
If she isn't killed off at the end of this expansion, then Blizzard have truly failed. And this time, it's a unredeemable failure
Ask arthus how powerful are they
Lol
No one can resist death it self. As Arthas Menethil is just a mere representation of the grim reaper himself with god like powers.
Anar'alah, Anar'alah belore, Sin'dorei.
@@truthseeker3084 arthus won only due to the fact that traitor helped him ;)
@@f.r.i.x7299 Thats for sure Dar'Khan Drathir was a usefull Judas.
Lololol
Statistics say that every 5 prople of the horde in a dungeon, 4 are blood elves. (Thats true)
You sound like a Draenei lmao
Going by these guides, literally EVERY race is “one of the strongest races in Azeroth”....
5:14 bald bloodelf
The blood elves practice the light before their Kingdom fell. It was an important part of their society
Question : If a creature comes in contact with the river under nordrassil , will they evolve ( trolls +well of eternety =night elves , night elves +sunwell,=HIGH elves, murloc+the well of pandaria=jinyu , etc)
Nicol Nicole They’ll only ‘evolve’ with long time exposure to it
Blood elf’s are my favorite race on the horde side
Amazing video as always. Keep up the good work!!
The Blood Elves broke away from Azshara and were betrayed by Alliance which is why they joined the Horde!
For the Sindorei!
Hi doron can you make a video about the strongest elves to the weakest in this time ( dragon flight ) .
what do blood elf think about there Demon hunter brothers and sisters @Doronsmovies
better than night elves but not good
With the dragonflight expansion Iam finnaly getting back into wow so iam glad to be back.
Can you make a video about the Void Elves?
There's nothing to say about them since they are a retarded fan fiction race that makes absolutely no sense in the context of the game or lore, and should never have existed in the first place. The ONLY reason they do exist is because Blizzard needed something to give the Alliance as a opposite to Nightborne
funny how the eyes of Sylanas in that cinematique are silver instead of being integraly blue.
Did you know 9 night elves actually causes the Great Sundering . We landed a massive victory against the burning legion !!!!!! Kalimdor is what is today because of us 🖤
Chewbacca Cheezit's - enough to fit the hunger even of a wookie. Are we done with the sponsors already?
Great video, watched the undead one too. One thing though, the character height 5ft-6ft is not 170-180cm it should it be 152cm to 182? 10cm would only be a 4" difference.
I really wish that the Blood Elves joined the Alliance again, even Lorthe'mar considered this choice when Varian asked him but due to Jaina's action to be specific Garrosh's machinations as using the blood elves to steal the Divine Bell Jaina purged the Sunreavers from Dalaran forcing Lorthe'mar to stick with the Horde.
But I think that in the future the Elves would join the alliance again or even if they don't many would learn and study void magic.
keep going bro watch all u do ....keeps me going
Answer in one sentence.... very powerful because perfect beings
Since community contributions have been deactivated I'd like to add Turkish translation here as a comment.
Toplanın Blood Elf'çi gardaşlarım
0:35 sonrasından başlayın.
-Yaklaşık on bin yıl önce Kraliçe Azshara kontrolünde kurulan, Highborne adı verilen bir büyü tarikatı (oluşumu) vardı.
Well of Eternity vasıtasıyla büyüye merak duydular ve bu ilgileri pek çok diğer elf tarafından kültürlerine karşı bir küfür olarak görüldü.
Highborne'lar Kraliçe'ye karşı aşırı sadıklardı ve kendilerini diğer night elflerden üstün görürlerdi.
Azshara düşüp Malfurion kontrolü ele geçirdiğinde Highborne'lar, kudretli kraliçelerinin yokluğunda, diğer elfler tarafından küçük görüldüler.
Büyü Night Elf'ler arasında yasaklanmıştı ancak Highborne'lar büyüyü kullanmaya devam ettikleri için Kalimdor'dan sürgün edildiler.
Nereye gittiklerini bile bilmeden yollarına devam ettiler ve Doğu Krallıklarına ulaştılar, orada kendi toplumlarını inşa ettiler.
Kıtanın kuzeyine yerleştiler ve kadim Well of Eternity vasıtasıyla Sunwell'i oluşturdular.
Bu yeni enerji onların ten renklerini ve değiştirdi ve elflere mahsus olan bazı özelliklerini kaybettiler.
Bin yıl boyunca Sunstrider hanedanı yönetiminde refah içerisinde yaşadılar.
Ancak krallıklarını Trollerin antik diyarına kurdukları için Troller bu durumdan haz etmedi.
Uzun yıllar boyunca Trollerle savaştılar ve genelde kolaylıkla geri püskürttüler ancak bir noktada Zandaları'nin de yardımıyla Trollere karşı kaybedecek duruma geldiler.
Bu noktada İnsanlardan yardım aldılar ve Amaniyi tamamen yenilgiye uğrattılar ve böylelikle yeni bir ırkla olan ilk diplomatik ilişkileri başlamış oldu.
Böylelikle Alliance'a katılıp büyülerini onlarla paylaştılar ve ardından Orklara karşı yapılan savaşa dahil oldular.
Savaşların ardından Alliance ile aralarında daha önceki bazı olaylar sebebiyle bir gerilim oluştu.
Bir istila başladı ve pek çok insan krallığı undeath'ler tarafından yok edildi.
Lordaeron'un eski prensi Arthas Quel'Thalas'a o zamana kadar yapılmış en büyük taarruzu gerçekleştirdi.
Krallarını öldürdü, Krallığı yok olmanın eşiğine getirdi ve Blood Elf nüfusunun yüzde doksanını öldürdü.
Dökülen onca kanın ardından Highborne yahut High Elf olarak bilinen Elf'ler kendilerinin Blood Elf yahut Sin'dorei olarak adlandırdı.
Sunwell yok edildi ve büyü açlığı duyan Blood Elfler Illidan'ın peşinden giderek Fel kullanmaya başladılar.
Outland'de yaşananlardan sonra geriye kalan Blood Elfler yardım almak ve berbat hale gelmiş krallıklarını tekrar inşa etmek için Horde'a katıldı.
Bir noktadan sonra Prens Kael'Thas delirdi (mecazen) ve bu durum onları bir iç savaşın eşiğine getirdi. Böylelike yaşam şekilleri epey değişti.
Sunwell tekrar canlandırıldı, Lich King mağlup edildi ve krallığın pek çok kısmı yeniden inşa edildi.
Bügün, Blood elfler Horde'un epey büyük bir parçası ve pek çok olayda önemli rol oynuyorlar.
*Tarihlerinden bu şekilde kısaca bahsettikten sonra karakter yapıları hakkında ve ne kadar güçlü oldukları hakkında konuşmaya devam ediyor*
Elfler aslen Troll ırkındanlardı daha sonra Night Elf olarak bildiğimiz ırka dönüştüler ardından Night Elf içerisinde Highborne olarak adlandırıldılar ve akabinde High Elf oldular.
Özünde bir zamanlar oldukları Night Elflere bazı özellikleri hariç çok benziyorlar.
Ortalama 170-180 cm boyundalar ve ince atletik bir vücuda sahipler
Bir bakıma uzun süredir beraber yaşadıkları insanlara çok benziyorlar, insanın biraz daha ince hali gibiler yani genel olarak Night Elfler ile İnsanların karışımı gibiler.
Epey eşsiz bir karakter yapısına sahipler, genelde uzun saçlılar ve sakalsızlar
Blood Elfler özünde High Elflerdir, aradaki tek fark Blood Elfler Fel'e maruz kaldığı için, Orkların tenleri gibi Elflerin de gözleri yeşildir.
Ancak Sunwell tekrar oluşturulup temizlenildiğinde bazı Blood Elflerin gözleri yeşilden sarıya döndü.
Çabuk yaşlanırlar ancak uzun yaşarlar ortalama bin yıla kadar yaşarlar.
En yaşlı ırklardan biridir ve aynı zamanda en zekilerden birisidir. Hayatlarının uzunluğunu ve tarihlerini kaydetmeleri sebebiyle çok zengin bir kültüre sahiplerdir.
Büyü Blood Elf topluluğu içerisinde çok önemlidir aynı zamanda sürülme sebepleri, krallıklarını kuran şey ve yıkıldıktan sonra tekrar inşa eden şeydir.
Bundan ötürü Blood Elfler ırklar arasında büyüye en yatkın olanıdır.
Büyü onlar için o kadar önemlidir ki çoğu buna bağımlıdır. Bu sebepten ötürü büyüsüz kaldıkları zaman fel kullanmak zorunda kalmışlardır.
Bazıları aşırı derecede bağımlı hale gelip fel kullanırken aşırı bağımlı hale gelip akıllarını yitirmişlerdir.
Aşırı gururlu ve epey kibirli bir ırktır, kendilerini üstün ırk olarak görürler.
Bu düşüncelerinin sebepleri Azshara'ya kadar dayanıyor tabii.
Epey mantıklı bir ırktır ve vatanlarını çok severler ancak diğer ırklar kadar inanca bağlılıkları yoktur.
Son zamanlarda Light'ın gücünü fark ettiler ancak eskiden yaptıları gibi bu güce zorla sahip olmak yerine ona hizmet etmeye başladılar.
Ancak yine de bu durum toplulukları içerisinde çok yaygın değil.
En yaygın binekleri Hawkstrider'lardır, bu hayvan Quel'Thalas ormanlarının yerel ırklarındandır.
Uçan bineklerde isen genelde Dragonhawk'ları kullanırlar, çoğunlukla Farsttrider'ları Hawların üzerinde savaşırken görebilirsiniz.
Blood Elf'ler büyüsel binekler ve hayvanlar çağırabilir ayrıca construct'ları ve silahları da kullanabilirler.
Savaşta çoğunlukla Arcane Guardian'ları her çeşit Golemi ve savaş makinelerini kullanırlar.
Çoğu techizatları gücünü büyüden alır.
Blood Elfler çok güçlü büyücülerdir hatta çoğu ırk büyünün kullanımını onlardan görmüştür.
Magister'ler büyücüleri yöneten gruptur
Son dönemlerinde Kael'Thas Fel'e ilgi duymaya başladığı için Blood Elflerden çok güçlü Warlock'lar çıkmaya başlamıştır.
Büyücüklerinin yanı sıra Far Striders olarak bilnen ve Quel'Thalas'ın sınırlarını binlerce yıldır koruyan avcılara sahiptir.
Son olarak Blood Knight adıyla bilinen Blood Elfler vardır, bunlar Paladin statüsündedirler ve kralllığın önemli bir parçası haline gelmişlerdir.
Toparlayacak olursak Blood Elfler Azeroth'un en eski ırklarındandır.
Dünyanın yerel sakinlerindendirler ve pek çok değişime uğramışlardır ve pek çok şeyi de değiştirerek dünya tarihine şekil vermişlerdir.
Kovuldular, savaştılar, yenildiler ve yok edildiler ancak her seferinden toparlanıp ayağa kalktılar ve bugünlerde kudretli bir geri dönüş yapıyorlar.
En güçlü büyücüler, avcılar ve paladinlerden olan Blood elfler Azeroth'un en güçlü ırklarından biridir.
Could you make a vide on how to roleplay a Blood elf ranger?
Ah I’ve been so excited for this!
More Blood Elf stuff pls.
Question:
Did high elves (or do blood elves right now, for that matter) had a part of their military that's not Rangers just normal foot soldiers? Like, infantrymen?
Or did their whole military just consist of battlemages and rangers?
They have the blood knights, pladin blood elves
In warcraft 3 you have the melee unit spell breakers.
Shield and sword.
Highmountain tauren next pls!
Damn you Garithos
Nightelfs next please
Arthas sends his regards.
hey dorons! quick question. Are dk the strongest class lore wise? i mean those who fell to the lich king and risen again were already heroes before turning into dks, which means they have knoweledge on other roles f or combat (like being mages, hunters etc) and can technically use them as much as their dks skills
I think he already did "How strong is class X" for all the classes and there he mentions DKs being very strong but being surpassed by Demon Hunters
Nattram definitely
#NotificationSquad ✨ My favorite Horde faction💕
The original elven race was not night elves, they were the elves of magick. The night elves did not practice druidism until the twins were born! Night elves came AFTER the original high elves!
Umm... no... I suggest you go read up on your lore xD
How powerful are the Draenei, Worgen, and Dwarves?
7:15 “ Technically “ lol
Hell it's about time
I want to see Pandas next. I dont care what anyone says they are cool
I'm cool with that idea.
Pandaren are kind of in the middle. A decent population, lots of land, an ancient race with lots of experience, aid of the celestials, etc.. They have good infantry with their Spearguard, excellent toe to toe fighters with their monks, which also make up healers and brewmasters. They are smart, strong, lots of mass for a size advantage, and cook good food. They have city-large populations w/ both Huojin and Tushui. As a whole, they are very strong at the moment, with their only shining weakness being the sha. I'd say 7/10 power wise.
That’s where you’re wrong kiddo
Imagine if Garithos didn't do the things he did. Faction imbalance would be what? 70/30? Blood Elves basically saved the Horde in game.
Just remember Arthas and the scourge may not have won if it weren't for Dar'khan Drathir betraying the high elves and helping the scourge get through the defensive gates.
An attrition war? Arthas would have won in the end, only that it would have taken him a little bit longer to defeat them.
Was his mission time sensitive? I wonder what would have happened if he took too long to get kel'thuzad rezzed would they have abandoned the invasion alltogether to find another powerful source to bring him back.@@MyViolador
Pretty sure if they had the time for it the elves would have escapes by magic or something , so i agree
Nobble is that you?
You need a podcast!
Please do one about trolls
Are you doing only horde races on this series?
Nope, will cover more Alliance races.
did you do the panderans?
Second best race in Horde. Even Warchief was a Blood elf. :)
I think not
@Szymon Kaliński
Sylvanas was HIGH ELF at time of her death at the hands of Death Knight Arthas Menethil (during Scourge invasion of Quel'thalas);
Blood Elves WERE created AFTER invasion and Kael'thas' destruction of corrupted Sunwell
@@aleksandarvil5718 blood elfs and high elf are the same thing same.... race...they weren't created...darron event mention this in his video in memory of the fallen ones they renamed themsefs blood elfs

Like human my arse, humans are clunky and funky looking. Pshhh.
But good vid
Please !! Make video of nightborn, this rases so powerful in arcana
How powerful are the void elves or the Nightborne?
Oh man I really missed TBC
How powerful are Blood Elves? Well based on Realmpop there's more Blood Elves than any other race, so I'm going to go with very. :p
Love me some Belfs...
Why is arathor the thumbnail tho? He is a half-elf.
Soooo what if blood elves learned to be druids...would they be OP asf?
Completely unrelated comment...
how old would a Troll be if they were born on The Echo Isles?
Seems to be the same age as orgrimmar so not old but it seems we do not know for sure
Thanks!
So night elves be much stronger in real life trust me
Hahahaaaa right............
Glory to the Sindori
In small numbers blood elves are strong but as an overall race they are just barely a footnote in lore. Theres just too few of them to bolster any army which is why they are usually seen in advisory roles, and elite guards.
5:15 "they are some of the Best wizard around"
Jaina: hold my beer.
also Medivh, Kadghar , Aegwynn.
Blood elves.... Kaelthas's dead father?
@@MyViolador all of whom wouldn't exist if blood elves hadn't taught the humans magic?
Kael'thas was stronger than Jaina as a mage, and Rommath is very close, as is Aethas Sunreaver...Medivh and Aegwynn were guardians so they do not count, they have the power of hundreds of mages at their disposal. As for Khadgar...he was the student of a Guardian, and also posseses Atiesh, so he is on a level most mages don't reach.
And if you really think about it, BEs are better mages simply because they can live longer and thus learn more, to go along with their natural aptitude for magic.
Really, the Blood Elfs NEEDS a change in power. Lor'themar absolutelly sucks.
How powerful are Worgen?
Uhm actually not all of the blood elves joined the fel which is why so many were starving. Only some did.
Can someone tell me the source of the Picture in 7:08. Thank you!
