I can't honestly think of any series that has Elves universally as the villians.For instance in The Witcher series, the leaders of the Wild Hunt are the Aen Elle, which is an elven racein TES: Skyrim, the Thalmor - or High Elves - are obviously meant to be hostile for the player, according to their activities and attitudeTES has some amazing lore, but even in-game not all elves are 'evil'. So why are they part of Monsters faction? The Witcher wiki now has a light themed alternative for the wiki skin. (((Keplian is a fire eyed silver hoofed horses that lure riders to their deaths))) This quest can be picked up by reading the notice on the Border Post's notice board or Oxenfurt's, then talking to the captain nearby at the Border Post (he won't be named so use your marker to find him) who'll point out something is attacking and killing Redanian caravans along the main roads.
Percheron War Horse(Wild Elves) or Landais Pony (Temerian Elves). Thalmor seem to be elf supremacists, but note that there are only altmer in their ranks, they don't seem to care much about other elves, they just hate everyone, and non-Thalmor Altmer often don't have nice things to say about the Thalmor.So I don't think you can say that elves are inherently antagonistic. So no one dares. The Keplian (Wild Elves) and Unicorn(with no horn((Temerian Elves)) works as well. I understand that the Wild Hunt sometimes use beasts to support their foot soldiers, but the leaders and bulk of the warriors are just elves from my understanding (based on the Witcher 3 game). The Unseelie court is a little more terrifying, in the sort of 'steal one of your senses or possibly your skin' way.You just missed the Germanic/Anglo-Saxon tradition of the malicious illness causing elf. Humans are industrious and often change/destroy the forest/world to make way for progress, which puts them at odds with elves who are often shown as disliking that sort of thing.To be fair in WoW, the Blood Elves are only with the Horde due to the fact they felt the Alliance left them to die. Along with the normal elves of the Witcher universe, not all Aen Elle are hostile. The latter arrived on the Continent after the Conjunction of the Spheres following the destruction of their ancestral homeworld. They want to unmake the world so they can all go back to being the godlike beings they were before Lorkhan's gambit.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast/r/Fantasy is the internet's largest discussion forum for the greater Speculative Fiction genre. This is the source of the more 'evil' Elves, the Wild Hunt and such.
They cared about humans about the same way humans care about, ummm, ground squirrels.There are the Norse elves, which is sort of what Tolkien drew on for his elves in LOTR.
They have a lot of experience and that tends to have authors writing them as thinking of humans as impatient children, etc. Mix that with the anger left over because of what happened and they don't tend to be very trusting of humans in general as far as lore goes.Thanks, I didn't knew much about Warcraft blood elves!They're often condescending for one reason or another. In the world of the Aen Elle, elves are constantly at war with unicorns. The Third Aldmeri Dominion has a point, too. well-known folk myth of a ghostly leader and his group of hunters and hounds flying through the cold night sky
The Wild Hunt is a ritual performed by the Bosmer of Valenwood, part of the oath known as the Green Pact, and thus associated to Y'ffre, the main god of the Bosmeri pantheon. Bosmer are pretty chill with other races. The Wild Hunt roams the land and sky, and all honest men cower in their homes, for even the sight of it can bring disaster. I thought the wild hunt is a spectre, a powerful entity that is near impossible to kill, with a slim chance of defeating. The motivation of the gallopades leader, the King of the Hunt, remains, as always, unknown." Which is this? Go party with the elves for a night and come out a hundred years later sort of thing. He was determined to "take back" what had been stolen from the Aen Elle by Cregennan when he took Lara Dorren, Auberon's daughter. To add to that, unlike a tornado, even in their drunken/altered states they will target any person—or group of people—who tries to oppose them. Her fate remains unknown, though she certainly did not join the host of wraith horsemen, unlike her lover who was one of the Hunt's riders for some time. Sometimes considered a 'lesser' version of the gods. Plot. The thalmor want to blow up the world, but not because they're evil, they want to undo creation to restore themselves (and everyone else) to the divinity that was robbed from them by the trickster god Lorkhan.The games don't portray any of the nuance, so people just think "Thalmor bad. There are too many Elves to try to use explosives or other distance weapons against them. There are two courts of Faerie, the Seelie Court and the Unseelie court.
