Not only does the lore as established only say that the ancestors of Blood Elves lost their Night Elf skin tones when they left Kalimdor, it never once says what skin tones they gained as they changed. So when I tell you that it absolutely does not matter if there has ever been a singular mention of Blood Elves having dark skin similar to the skin tone of real, living humans, I say this with absolute confidence. What I’m getting at is that I am probably unhealthily obsessed with making almost everything fit into the lore - I’m obsessive about it. I was the guy who pointed out the Anima Golems and other Mogu Anima constructs and how they bear a resemblance to how the Well of Eternity was the life blood of Azeroth itself, which seems to be related to the Anima we’re going to see in Shadowlands.
I have spent sleepless nights trying to resolve contradictory threads in WoW‘s story. Look, I love the lore of World of Warcraft as much as any living human being.
