Description: "For untold millennia, the Army of the Light waged war against the Burning Legion throughout the Twisting Nether. The Draenei most committed to their long crusade would undergo a ritual to become Lightforged, infusing their bodies with the very essence of the Holy Light. After finally achieving victory on Argus, the Army of the Light has been looking for new recruits from a new race to replace the countless Draenei lost to the Legion, and found it in the Blood Elves of Silvermoon."
Horde obviously. The Army of the Light is a neutral party where the members can also be of either faction, just like the Ebon Blade or the Illidari.

i wonder if blizzard will ever say fuck it and make normal blue eyed high elves a race for a faction
Daniel Edwards
Honestly, i just kinda wish they gave us more customization options. It's better than having to create new characters.
Tyler Perez
It literally just got announced by one of the Wowhead dataminers dude. The description is what comes up when you're making a member of their race, just like all the races currently ingame.
We don't know if they'll be allied races or NPCs or just blood elf customization options
Andrew Wright
>the amount of people that outright believe this bullshit thinking doesn't hurt Sup Forumstards using google neither
Jose Long
There's evidence of tattoo and rune options for them, but they're not in the alpha yet. They also have mostly hairstyles that aren't in the alpha yet, which suggests that they'll have unique new ones.
Isaiah Hernandez
I think its going to be a sub race like the light forged Draenei; wich are just yellow space goats instead of normal space goats
Robert Walker
Forgot to mention that their classes are: Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Mage and Priest.
Asher Perez
Because alliance has wanted to play blood elves too for 10 years. This is the moment where wow loses all shame.
Levi Ramirez
I invite you to prove it
Matthew Green
invitation rejected
Levi Diaz
>more elves greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaat
Nathaniel Ramirez
it is not an allied race, it just more custumiztion options, you are dumb
New race, unique third faction requires additional expansion module.
Grapeorcs, a meteorite landed on Azhara carrying mutant spores, infecting the fruits of the region turning everyone who eats them into purple orcs. There will be no pve content with this expansion, it's grape orcs vs the world in this fantastic new expansion that adds everything the fans asked for years.
Thats just wrong though, Turalyon is the leader of the army of the light and he has dedicated the lightforged faction to the Alliance.
Lucas Ward
It's exactly the same as Orc posture. Just an extra barbershop option for eye color. They'll probably add a few more of these, like boneless undead, long tail draenei, upright Worgen.
Isaac Richardson
that sounds grape!
Oliver Hernandez
Doesn't Turalyon swear the whole army to the Alliance?
Zachary Powell
Soy Humans when?
Jose Gonzalez
>just want a turtle race that can be monks Give me ninja turtles goddamn it.
Anthony Smith
The recruitment quests for the LF Elves will probably explain all of this.
Christian Rivera
No, I don't have his exact words but they aren't far off from"The Army of the Light fights for the Alliance."
Benjamin Adams
>all we're ever going to get from now on is lazy reskins of existing races >no naga, ogres or ethereals ever
Golden eyed elves is just a customization option for blood elves.
Ayden Wood
>Boneless undead So goopy piles of decaying flesh? That should be fun to animate.
Ian Green
Just like all we got was "Hero Classes" after Wrath right? There's no reason to believe the new gimmick will be the sole feature of all future expansions too.
Seeing as how 2 of the 3 classes added are hero classes, yeah there kinda is reason to believe Blizzard will re-use it. Blizzdrone defense force on patrol I see.
And the second one of those classes came eight years after, with one of the expansions between the two having a regular class. People thought every expac would add a new hero class back then.
Gabriel Green
They're literally getting so lazy they've decided to just start re-skinning things. How the fuck do people still play WoW in 2018?
Kayden Torres
For the last two expansions they added literally NOTHING in terms of new playable races. Ten subraces is a lot better than nothing.
Cameron Mitchell
stop with your fucking fake news OP. these aren't announced, nor are they even remotely hinted as a "new allied race". it's just customization options.
Oliver Morales
I doubt it. The only reason for void elves and lightforged elves is to pander towards people begging for Highelves. Lorewise it's undoable but you got to shut the masses up somehow.
Announced was probably the wrong term to use, but dataminers working for Wowhead found them in the game files and posted their findings about five minutes before I made the thread.
Eli Evans
>Lorewise it's undoable
What are you even talking about. Elves being changed by magic(You know, like the Blood/High Elves themselves were changed from NE) isn't a stretch at all.
Xavier Fisher
proof? so far the only known thing is that it's customization options.
Horde: >Orc >Tauren >Undead >Trolls >Blood Elves (that look moustache twirlingly evil instead of pretty to a fault) >Goblins
Simple. Easy lore explanations for each and they all fit their theme nicely.
Ayden Perry
You're a retard
Charles White
Official art that was never canon for anything.
Nathan Gray
Alright then, I thought you were ones of those people saying Void Elves don't make sense in the lore. Frankly it'd make less sense if Elves COULDN'T be changed physically by the Void like every other type of magic.
Leo Bailey
>Official Whoops, unofficial.
Tyler Johnson
>Exact same as the Cata race lineup but with Draenei replaced by a reskin
What you got against space goats man?
Landon Diaz
>Start a WoW thread normally >Dies with 3 replies >Start a WoW thread with incredibly obvious bait >500 replies
You finally figured it out bro. 90% of the negative shitpost threads about WoW are started by people who just want to discuss the game but know saying that directly would kill the thread.
Ian Peterson
That is obviously not an allied race you dumbass RETARDS, it is just customization option for belves. How about you look for a source before you engage on your shitposting? You are the reason fake news are so successfull
Henry Diaz
>people will believe this The only “lightforging” that’s happened to the Blood Elves is the purification of the sunwell. Since WotLK they should’ve all had golden eyes, Liadrin has them in her Hearthstone portrait, but Blizzard tends to forget about these small details of immersion. If it’s available to players it will be a customization option for Blood Elves who are now no different than High Elves since the purification of the Sunwell and are only named Blood Elves I’m honor of their fallen dead. I’m short: Alliance High Elves NEVER EVER
Christian Ross
Utopian space goats too pure for this earth that were a complete asspull messes with my autism. Panda's annoy me because I hate the 'neutral' concept and most of these subraces are just silly.
Christian Jackson

Tyler Roberts
Sup Forums loves bait and cant resist taking it.
Bentley Murphy
Imagine being this mad.
Bentley Parker
>that were a complete asspull
You're not allowed to say that about pre-Cata lore bro. The lore before Cata was all perfect and the lore after it is all an abomination.
Jonathan Young
its literally an eye color change. How is this even big news. They are at the point where they can put the least amount of effort into shit and rabid fanboys would still eat the garbage.
HE's are still around and some are quest givers. Not all HE's are dead and don't give me "b-but there isn't suppose to be alot of them!" Same with NE's, BE's, Nightborne, and other almost extinct races around Azeroth
But nu-blizzard hates everything about old blizzard so they make up new shit instead of giving out old ones.
>But nu-blizzard hates everything about old blizzard so they make up new shit instead of giving out old ones.
Ah yes those brand new asspull races like Dark Iron Dwarves, Nightborne and Zandalari. Those were never in the lore before this expansion.
Samuel Brooks
I hope so does so it makes nu horde soy boys like you suicidal
Gavin Johnson
Where did Nightborne exist before? I was pretty certain they made them up for Legion, albeit with a plausible lore excuse.
Isaac Harris
>give alliance high elves >i.e. blood elves, but completely identical save for eye color >i.e. blood elves, a race very obviously designed to stop faction disparity from being 5:1 favoring alliance >i.e. blood elves, the race that singlehandedly changed the horde from a hipster choice to a legitimate option
Void elves, a race everyone thought was fucking stupid-looking and a half-assed attempt to cater to high elf fags, are still currently more played than dwarves, gnomes, draenei and worgen. This is WITH a mandatory tedious grind to unlock them. Do you know how absolutely dead the Horde would be if Alliance got actual high elves? Use your fucking brains please.
See Blood Elves literally are High Elves with a name change to honor the fallen. Their eye color in lore should’ve changed already to this golden color or at least back to blue unless they’re Warlocks or Demon Hunters but Blizzard forgot about it. This golden eye option, if it becomes available to players, is the final nail as all Blood and High Elves should be purified from the Sunwell.
Grayson Reed
Any blood elf players going to keep their green eyes? It reminds me of a simpler time questing in Eversong Woods.
This is the real reason. The faction balance would skew to like 75/25 Alliance/Horde if they had High Elves.
Leo Cruz
Yes, they are around. A few of them. Not enough to make them playable as that would cause a population peak of tens/hundreds of thousands. Void elves can be reproduced from Blood Elves. Blood Elves are just high elves with a different name, they're more like a different race-faction and continue to avoid extinction with other belfs. I don't exactly understand your claim that there arent supposed to be many NEs around. They have literally their own island where they can live and produce freely. Nightborne are jus a small fraction of Night Elves who became corrupted similar to Void Elves but by different means. Again, reproductable. High Elves were driven near extinction (Thought the numbers vary from which Bliz writer you ask)
I would if I didn't play a BE pally. It seems a bit silly NOT to switch to the gold eyes as a Paladin.
Cameron Stewart
Do you really not think some Blood Elf mains haven’t become invested in the Horde? There’s plenty who are obsessed with Sylvanas and even more that have jumped on the anti-Alliance train. High Elves wouldn’t cripple the Horde.
Camden Bailey
>blizzard fucked up by making player characters have a stationary faction instead of being mercenaries capable of switching factions despite race or previous affiliation discuss
