A Manifesto

by Catullus

"Today a Blood Elf,
tomorrow simply an Elf"

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a sundered people to reunite, they have every right to undertake whatever dangerous or difficult quests are required to overcome the powerful opposition to their legitimate aspirations.

For thousands of years, the Elves have been split primarily into two groups, the scientific and technological Blood Elves who have mastered the power of magic but are in danger of losing their souls, and the mystical and aesthetic Night Elves, who seek to be at one with nature yet fail to understand the corruptions that are invading their forest. This situation is tragic. Through building a fellowship of Elves, a shared spirit and hope for the future, we can begin to repair the rift.

Ultimately, Elves will need to leave the Horde and Alliance, and create their own third, superior faction. We must recognize, however, that is impossible today. We were pure in the past, and will be again in the future. Until then, we must cooperate with the other races and sometimes accept distasteful tasks. To the extent possible, Blood Elves should avoid harming Night Elves, and Night Elves should avoid harming Blood Elves.

Our immediate goals should include:

Building fellowship among Elves through quest parties and other shared adventures

Helping every member of our guilds to gain experience, power, and knowledge

Completing an inventory of all the Elven resources, every outpost and every population of Elves

Updating each other concerning Elf news of all kinds

Inventing our own quests - becoming our own quest givers - for example seeking to defend an Elf outpost of either faction against its non-Elf enemies, or gaining and sharing secret information from both Horde and Alliance that it would benefit Elves to know

Increasing our collective magical powers, and providing our members with the armor, weapons and other material resources needed to succeed

Developing a deeper appreciation for Elune, the Moon Goddess, the only genuine deity worshipped in all of Azeroth

Sharing our own individual ideas concerning how to reunite the Elves while providing exciting, positive adventures for each individual Elf
