High elves and blood elves are physiologically the
same race, and they are descended from night elves.
Nevertheless, due to their shared history and
philosophical differences, the three groups do not
share a close relationship. Indeed, night elves
regard high elves and blood elves with suspicion,
disgust, or outright hostility.
Elves in General
Elves do have several characteristics in common. All
three groups have unusually acute senses and are
able to see clearly even in low-light conditions. As
a general rule, elves are also slim, athletic, and
graceful. Furthermore, they all have large pointed
ears that tend to be greeted with admiration or
mockery by other races.
One similarity between night elves, high elves, and
blood elves has only recently come about. The night
elves sacrificed their immortality and much of their
power at the end of the Third War. Thus, all elves
are now mortal and have comparable lifespans that
can extend as long as several thousand years.
