High elf relations Theramore . The high elves of Theramore are perhaps the most isolated . Having left mostly before the destruction of Dalaran and Quel ' Thalas , they have formed a significant community in the city . They spend a great deal of time hunting the few undead forces in Kalimdor . Their exposure to the night elves has caused them to develop a great interest in Moonwell s , which they seek to find an alternative solution to their addiction . Even the presence of a hidden Moonwell 50 feet away is enough to replenish their mystical energies and makes meditation unnecessary . Theramore ' s high elves also have another interest in the continent . They have discussed privately the creation of their own realm on Kalimdor . The northern forests , full of moonwells and lush greenery are most attractive , but their control by the night elves is overly frustrating . High elven expeditions , claiming to be tracking undead , often search for suitable sites . The attack and destruction of Theramore by the Horde and the use of a manabomb created by the blood elves using the Focusing Iris and dropped from a goblin zeppelin caused the blast that killed hundreds of High Elves in Theramore , greatly reducing their numbers yet again . The events had also led to the increase of tension between the High Elves and the Blood Elves , in particular the Silver Covenant , who are led by Vereesa Windrunner whose husband , Rhonin were among those killed . Dwarves . Ironforge dwarves . High elves have an awkward and somewhat distrustful relationship with the Ironforge dwarves , but they do rely on each other in times of war , and have common ties to the Alliance . Wildhammer dwarves . With the Quel ' Danil Lodge nearby the dwarven keep of Wildhammer in the Hinterlands , it can be assumed that the high elves have maintained their alliance with the gryphon riding dwarves since the Second war . Wildhammer share the high elves respect for the wilds and nature , and carry a long history of good relations and trust . Humans . Humans are amongst the high elves ' closest and most reliable allies though many of them would not admit it . Humans and high elves have fought and died alongside each other since ancient times , fighting the overwhelming Amani Empire in the Troll Wars , the monstrous Orcish Horde in the Second war and horrifying nightmares of the Burning Legion and Scourge in the Third War . Humans are also amongst the few races to accept the high elves and they can even currently be seen occupying the human city of Stormwind and Theramore . There are many high elves in the Theramore military . The high elves have had to rely on humans more and more and seem to prefer staying with their allies . Gnomes . Although physically disparate , gnome s share the elves ' natural affinity to magic , and many gnomes and high elves used to work together in Dalaran before its fall . Half - elves . High elves are often prejudiced towards half - elves , though this is starting to change as their presence is becoming more common . Night elves . High elves have traditionally gotten along quite poorly with night elves due to their complicated and turbulent past . As the night elves hold disdain for the arcane using blood elves , so they hold disdain for their high elf cousins . This argument is questioned , though , by the fact that Tyrande Whisperwind had no problem whatsoever working with the blood elves and Kael ' thas Sunstrider when she hunted Illidan Stormrage in the Plaguelands . Kael ' thas seemed to feel honoured by the night elves ' presence . This one instance of smooth cooperation between the races might be an exception caused by each party ' s need for survival in Silverpine and Dalaran . The years of conflict between the night elves and the high elves number so many that they make the Alliance and Horde conflict look like children arguing over a toy . When the high elves lost their immortality , they eventually forgot their brethren as generations lived and died , creating legends of histories . The night elves remembered the damage the highborne brought to the world , and view their descendents as time bombs . When the high elves encountered the night elves , they realized the legends were true and began to resent the fact that the night elves had access to so much power that they refused to use — not to mention the whole matter of exile . Many plot to retake the magically imbued forests for themselves , regardless of the fact that both races belong to the Alliance . The creation of a Moonwell in Stormwind ' s Park District is likely to cause further tension between the two races , as night elves fervently guard them against approaching high elves . Auberdine is one of the few night elf settlements that will tolerate a high elf ' s presence . They have allowed high elves since after the Third War , and so it no surprise that Fiora Longears can be seen on the pier in Auberdine , asking for adventurers to lend assistance to the night elves . However since " " , relations may be thawing . The presence of night elves in the Silver Covenant settlements is a clue to this , and high elves are even allowed inside Darnassus , one of them has even a permanent residence there , and a night elf , Moonbell has been accepted in the ranks of the Silver Covenant . Horde . Apart from the tauren , with whom the Highborne had had some ancient historical contact , high elves loathe the majority of the Horde ' s races , having fought against trolls , orc s , and undead in recent wars ( though not the same trolls , orcs and undead that now make up the Horde ) . The recent entry of the blood elves into the Horde has likely made relations worse . Blood elves . The path by which Prince Kael ' thas Sunstrider has chosen to lead the avenging blood elves is one the high elves view with utter disgust and resentment . They strive for disassociation with the blood elves , such as by hiding their magical addictions and avoiding wearing black and red . The bad relations between High Elves and Blood Elves are best seen on the feud between the Silver Covenant and the Sunreavers . The destruction of Theramore by the Horde resulted in the deaths of a number of High Elves . This led to greater mistrust and tension among High Elves and Blood Elves , in particular the Silver Covenant , who are led by Vereesa Windrunner ; her husband , Rhonin , was among those killed .
