Talk:Blood Knights

General Discussion
So Thrall and Cairne just let the Blood elves rape and torture a angelic being of divine energy! And the light can just be stolen by any common thug now huh. If they had to have blood elf paladins couldn't they have had be small sects of blood elves who still believed in the light,or had them be like the scarlet crusade

Angry ogre


 * Well, Thrall and Cairne don't consider the Light a legitimate philosophy, just like a Roman Pagan doesn't believe in the powers of the Christian god. To them, it's better than consorting with demons. Also, it's not really the "light" in the sense of the philosophy, more like holy energies, which are two different things. Just as a Troll Mage is not a practitioner of arcane magic like the rest of the mages in the game, they're actually shamanistic/voodoo practitioners whose spells are similar to those of other mages. The same can be said for Troll Priests, they don't follow the light either. I see Blood Elves as an analogue to that- they are just using similar spells. Omacron


 * Honestly I find it very hard to believe that Thrall would just let this happen. He obviously has some respect for the light and human culture. Why would he let Blood elves do horrific experiments on an angelic being. And this can' be compared to the forsaken apothecaries because thats done in secret,this is out in the open. And Thrall lets them get away with it because he wants them for military might. For god sakes Blizzard why must you continually try to make horde evil,can't horde and alliance both be equally good and equally evil like in WC3. I'm telling you next thing ya know blizzard's going to make Thrall a baby killer.

 * The hell are you talking about? Thrall doesnt "let them" do it. he is not the leader of the horde in that sense. he is the warchief, but as you can tell by his joining with the others, he sees them as equals. He "lets them" because it is a joining force for the betterment of each race within. Not for military might. The only reason the Horde HAS a military is defense against the other forces, and as a passtime.
 * While this new lore bit is horrible, it doesnt make the blood elves any worse than they were, as the naaru arent "angelic". they are simply a powerful race, just like demons or old gods or titans. they are a means to power, which ALL races use, naaru are simply one of them. It is better than them dealing with demons, the old gods, or the scourge, however.
 * And honestly, who is to say the naaru is being "raped and tortured"? it is held prisoner, but last i checked, rape and torture and being captive are MASSIVELY different. --Haddon 00:35, 25 July 2006 (EDT)

I doubt that the Blood Elf scholars and magi are "common thugs." It says in the new lore it took months of study and research to for the Blood Elfs to learn to manipulate the naarus energies, not like they just started poking the naaru with sticks and they got super-happy-light powers. The new lore also states that Cairne and Thrall don't like the whole Blood Elf paladin things but they accept in the terms that the horde now have paladins as allies. -Karye 15:51, August 1, 2006 (PST)

Editing
I had created a Blood Knight page before I saw this one. Personally (and I know I'm biased) I like that page better. Should we combine them some how? --Horik 09:09, 25 July 2006 (EDT)

I copied it over, nice job by the way on your page. -Karye 15:51, August 1, 2006 (PST)
