Now we're going to throw a wrench in wow gold the cheap wow gold works. The term "Highborne" is buy wow gold often used to describe any number of elves, which also generates a heck of wow gold cheap a wow gold for sale lot of confusion. "Highborne" is simply "quel'dorei" in wow cheap gold Common, the runescape gold language used by the Alliance. Azshara and her followers, the quel'dorei that practice arcane magic, were "Highborne." The "quel'dorei elite" who lived with her in the palace are often referred to as "Highborne elite." The other confusing part of this is that there are two different species of elves using the name "quel'dorei" now. The high elves of the Eastern Kingdoms use it, and the elves of the Shen'dralar down in Dire Maul still use it, despite being kaldorei. Throw in the added confusion of the term "night elf" being used interchangeably ...
... with "kaldorei," and you've got yourself a whole mess of terminology. What should be remembered is that there are only two different species of elves: kaldorei and high elves. The exception to the high elf = quel'dorei rule are the Shen'dralar, who simply use the term "Highborne" or "quel'dorei" to refer to themselves as a title. They're still kaldorei as a species -- aka night elves. Really, the best way to tell which species of elf you're dealing with is by just giving it a good look. All "small" elves with peach skin from the Eastern Kingdoms are either high elves or blood elves. All elves with pink, purple or blue skin from Kalimdor are kaldorei, or night elves. (Unless, of course, that elf you're looking at is really a dragon, which throws yet another wrench in the works -- but we won't go there.) The Shen'dralar of Dire Maul are Highborne (quel'dorei), kaldorei who have been hidden away since the Sundering after the War of the Ancients. These Highborne are rumored to be the origin of (and the trainers for) night elf mages when Cataclysm hits. Some remained behind to fight. Others scattered to various parts of the world, which is why you see high elves here and there in places like the Hinterlands. The majority of those who fought at Quel'thalas during the Third War died -- approximately 90% of the high elven population. Not only did Arthas succeed in destroying the Sunwell, he also killed Kael'thas' father Anasterian, the leader of the blood elves at the time, and almost managed to wipe out the high elf population completely.
