Any questions you have should be left in this forum for the staff to answer. Doing so will hopefully help you to find the answer to any questions asked before, and also allow the moderators to keep inboxes clean for other business they need to tend to.

Can night elves be paladins? Or is it physically impossible?
Can we make our own custom groups/factions? Like there's the cults and groups such as the Argent Dawn and such.
Thats all for now.

Night Elves could IF they were away from the World Tree long enough and they had forsaken their arcane ties in view of the Light of Creation.
And as for custom factions, maybe at some point but the forum is a little small, and there's really not enough evil going on quite yet for there to be much call for suchlike. Maybe soon though. At the moment we haven't even dealt with the Defias.
If you can think of something in particular that needs to be present though feel free to say.

Hmmm considering turning my night elf warrior into a paladin if possible. How long is needed would you think that they'd have to be away from the World Tree? Several years, hundreds of years, months.........?
And when I meant custom factions, they didn't have to be just cults and Argent Dawn types exactly, just factions for any purpose. Like maybe another Defias type one come to challenge it, or a small, elite pirate fleet that raids, I don't know, whatever we can think up hah.

It's not just being away from the World Tree per se, its being away from the entire Night Elf culture, teachings and magic types. My Blood Elf paladin (Vorestro) spent 80 years at the Cathedral of light, and then the rest of his life perfecting and devoted to it. He's 500. He's also one of the Sunwell users, which might have influenced things. Overall I'd say that if a Night Elf with arcane training before hand would take around the 50 years Vorestro went through (and 30 years further training he did of his own desire), since the holy teachings are pretty much exclusive and pull on a separate branch of magic. Non magic Elves may need 40 years to account for the massive cultural divide.

Aye.... Well then, I'll have Theois start quickly. May take many more years, but he'll probably become one over time. Thanks for data.

Well new question: Can groups such as the Defias Brotherhood, Syndicate, etc be eliminated, unlike WoW? I understand it would be ultra difficult, but if we got together a army and went to the Deadmines and killed every single one of them, the ones there would stay dead?
Also, could armies'/ some military group have their own bases? Such as a fortress or similar? Like custom made/brand new? or would they have to be in a actual fortress/place thats in Warcraft/WoW?
Alright thats all for now. I keep coming up with questions hehe, don't know exactly our limits on this universe of WoW, sense were not restricted by game mechanics of WoW.

Groups will likely not be destroyed, be tougher than WoW (think of all mobs being your level, and the extra stupidly powerful things like Molten Giants and stuff being ridiculously 1shotting) and probably rotate leadership. Hence the attacks on a brotherhood, for example, will require eliminating their contacts, suppressing their reinforcements, disrupting supply lines before taking strike teams in and attacking several areas simultaneously. And even then you can't guarantee all of them will be taken out. As for the other thing... Yes, within reason. Aka no fortress of the Dwarves surrounding Blackrock Mountain or something lol. Kinda don't want things like that popping up everywhere Lemme know what ideas you had.

Alright I had a idea for one in the Eastern Plaguelands. The Crown Guard Tower. Have it to where it has been repaired, a wall built about it and the hill it's on, and maybe a small garrison building/barracks, like Westbrook Garrison, maybe a smithy as well. It could be smaller to where its just the wall and tower, but those 2 other add-ons are a possibility to make this a large outpost, maybe base for the Stormwind Army. It would mostly be the staging area of Theois and his Special Forces, but could be used by the rest of the Alliance as well. Just a consideration. Theois' would have to ask special permission from Val, acquire the resources, then get em up there, but would make it a long interesting RP to get it all together. If I could do all as requested, and maybe one more hidden detail f mine, it would be a excellent stronghold for the Alliance in the Western and Eastern Plaguelands. Just consider it.

Definately considering it but not at the moment. I doubt there would be need, soldiers enough or resources available to successfully fight deep enough into the Scourge ranks and set up a base that far north. At least not just yet anyway. Once we start the Plaguelands crusades maybe.

Alright. Thought something like that was gonna be starting eventually. I look forward to that, as that'll be the perfect RP for Theois. Anyways alright, thansk for answers. More questions will pop up again soon.... as always.

What is the honor thing under our profile pictures? What is it for?
P.S. In the Warcraft history, Night elves that pursue arcane arts eventually turn into Highborne Elves, aka Blood Elves. Just though I'd mention that.

Honor is just a reputation system. Nothing special happens as you get or don't get points. It's just a way for people to say Hey! You're pretty cool/did something awesome/ wrote a fantastic post.

Aye, when they use the arcane. Light abilities, such as paladin's use, doesn't use the arcane. It uses the Light, so it wouldn't affect him that way I blieve, unless incorrect. Otherwise, it'll take many years before it affects him. Anyways.... Dododo. Thanks for noticing.

Night Elves used to be split into 2 distinct groups being the nature-wielding druids and the Arcane-using Highborne. When the arcane magics were deemed unwieldy the Highborne were pretty much sent across the seas where they founded Quel'thalas. If anyone has read some of the books they'll notice Illidan was greatly scrutinized for using the arcane magics around Rhonin.
So, what does this mean?
This means that the Night Elves drew their magic from nature, and the High Elves/Quel'dorei/Highborne drew theirs from elsewhere.
So the High Elves practiced their arcane magics and while the Night Elves drew their power from the World Tree essentially (giving them their eternal life) the High Elves made the Sunwell. When the Sunwell was corrupted, the High Elves suffered their withdrawal and went into their term of being the Blood Elves.
So the High Elves always did have their ways of using the arcane magic, and because they all pretty much became Blood Elves except a tiny minority, they retained this, though they fed from the magic at the same time.
When it came to utilising the light, the paladins had to draw from a different source once again. Essentially there's 3 sources of magic in this:
The Light - used by paladins and priests Nature - used by Tauren and Night Elves Arcane - used by mages and the like
There's also Demonic magics which I think are separate from Arcane entirely in that they draw from a different dimension and suchlike.
