Elf Yourself

PREORDERS

I decided to make Ebon Blade hard enamel pins because nobody did yet and Blizzard will probably never do.

The sword is the pin. The design behind is the backing card.

Pin details: - height: 2'5" inches (approx 6.3 cm) - width: 1" inches (approx 2 cm) - nickel metal - glow in the dark runes - 2 pin posts - I ship worldwide!

They are already in the factory and I will have them at the beginning of October so I am managing delivery until Christmas!

Here is an OC from the sea. He lives in cold water and is quite wary. Do you like him?

Lord Darius Crowley ! I'm completing my artwork collection of the Gilnean arc story :)

"Lord Darius Crowley was once a Gilnean nobleman. A pro-Alliance figure, he dissented with King Genn Greymane's decision to separate his people with the Greymane Wall. Crowley led the Northgate Rebellion that caused a civil war in Gilneas, during which he was imprisoned. When Gilneas was attacked by worgen, he was freed and became a worgen himself. Both Crowley and Greymane reconciled and joined forces against the threats Gilneas faced. He now leads the Gilneas Liberation Front which fights against the Forsaken along with the Bloodfang Pack and the 7th Legion. "

it just feels like half-assed world building that didn't come as a result of people thinking about what their culture would be like. of course a THESE ARE MY OPINIONS AND INTERPRETATION OF THE LORE BASED ON MY EXPERIENCES disclaimer before we start.

they're a matriarchy (nothing wrong with this. this is cool! i liked when the night elves were a matriarchy though they've been stripped of that now)

the centaur have a quote saying something along the lines of "may you be blessed with daughters" (reiterating the matriarchy)

all the living centaur khans are women, except for the evil one, who is a man. (iirc there's one dead male khan we see but there's also like eight dead female ones). this isn't a point about wahh misogyny, its more of just... pattern recognition. they didn't follow the matriarchal standards of the culture, which one would expect in a matriarchy, and not only that but the one male khan is the villain in the questing area, and it feels very out of place. why not just make a female khan and stick with the matriarchy? god forbid women do anything?

there's... gay male centaur who can get married? i mean i guess but this doesn't really feel like they're making any daughters for the tribes, which is apparently such a big deal in their culture that they are hoping strangers of a different race have daughters themselves. is it okay because they're men and cannot bear children? that's what i'm feeling out of this, but that may just be me. i know blizzard is on a gay kick so im willing to just accept it and move on.

there's a quest in which you are introduced to an orphan, and they make it pretty clear that this is a child, and they're referred to as non-binary with they/them pronouns. when you meet them, they have the second body type, aka a female. this is CONCERNING to me, because the cultural implications of a female in a matriarchy being referred to as "something other than a woman" we'll say, is that this child has been castrated and deemed lesser by society, a la many of gay men that had suffered in real life patriarchies. they weren't allowed to be seen as men because they were homosexual, and as someone who is both a transsexual and a homosexual, seeing this popped so many red flags in my head.

"but maybe they are just nonbinary!" i hear you saying. true, maybe they are. but the fact that it's being introduced in a tribal matriarchal society and that often when someone of the 'reigning' sex isn't seen as adequately filling their gender roles in such a scenario, they get castrated, it makes me concerned.
