High Elves

Hello, my dears friends & followers I thought I would continue my posts on a few more Elves/Images-2015 Yes!
there's a few more races of the Elfin race that I haven't covered.  The High Elves or quel'dorei children of Noble birth. As they are
sometimes called.  The High elves were once  a significant force on our continent Earth but in the recent
times their numbers have been dramatically reduced by a huge numbers. As much as 90% of their race was
slaughter in the Third Crown War. It seems that after the third Crown War another huge number of
the Elfin race of the High Elves survivors decided to change their names to the "Blood Elves'' in remembrance of their fallen brethren and no longer consider themselves the high Elfin race.  It seems that only about 25,000 true high elves remain on our earth who still cling to the Alliance and are still trying to restore their glory of their once great People in hiding... It seems that the tale of the Ancient High Elves in a sad tale. Once I started my research on these very proud Elf's. Their origins seems to be plagued with both tragedy, conflict and War.
Being that fact, they were born of noble birth the High Elves were a stark contrast to their nocturnal cousin kin the Night Elves or any others... The High Elves would embraced the light of the sun and for sake the night.  It seems that the High Elves were the descendants of the very elves who had served the Queen
Azshara in the time of the Well of Eternity. It seems that the High Elves have a rather close history with the

Male High Elf In the
Grand Times

Night elves. However, it seems they have been spending generations trying to separate themselves from the
night elves. It seems that the two kin races are usually clashes with the different personality's plus it seems
the High Elves have a reputation of being a bit arrogant which led them to another War - the War of the Ancients and with that it ultimately was the downfall of the Golden age of the Elfin civilization. It seems though the decades the High Elves had allowed the darkness to seep into their world of light, hope, honor
and to a darker place of corruption. This was primary due to their reckless use of their Magick and
the powerful drug like magic the that the High elves were lured into the dark side that lead the to a
perilous path. It seems that in their origins and past their youth felt that the Magic wasn't doing the race any
harm, but, of course, the ancient ones or the Oldest of the High Elves new better and new the true
dangers of this potential damning Magick to their race. It was unfortunate that the Youth didn't listen to their
elders because of these damaging dark magic to the High Elven race. Some of the High Elves decided to
still press onward to see what this dark magic could bring to them and the community of the cities of

One of the Many Wars of
the High Elves

the  High Elves. From all this, the high elves took a tragic race decline like I had meant before. But dipping into the dark magic over the many centuries it led them into a downward spiral.. It wasn't all the High Elves that were part of this, but the ones that did were the ones that brought the whole race down. As
I said before it was a sad tale here about the High Elves...This is when there were only a few thousand left
when they had left and went with their cousin kin and became the Blood Elves. By joining the Blood Elves
the High Elves had allied with the sworn enemies of  the Elfin kind. It seemed from all of this the High Elves
destined themselves from all their other cousin kin and distrusted most all over races of the Elfin kin too. They remained the High Elves but are pariahs in an age where there is little left for them but a life of

mistrust and woe.  After the Alliance with the blood Elves the remaining High Elves kinda scattered throughout the continent as
the clung to the Alliance for protection until they were able to organize themselves again to reclaim every last High Elf on the Eastern Continent. These few Elves still kept their name High Elfin names even with all that had happened throughout the decades with the Night Elves and then the Blood Elves even to this day modern times... It is said that some of the high elves had band together  and fled south and now wander throughout the deepest parts of the forest. Those who do stay alive have to stay one step ahead of the trolls or will be probably be eaten alive by the cannibalistic trolls. So they have made their homes in the high trees and next to the hard rock where they could carve into stairs to the trees. The would have
scourge of patrols, hunting the elfin refugees and would also stalk through the woods and valleys.
It seems as I read and go throughout the history of the High elves they have a high connection with the blood Elf's.High elves are currently found primarily scattered throughout human societies, thereby being forced to rely on the hospitality of the younger race. This dependency has resulted in some high elves vigorously trying to find a new homeland, with possibly a new source of magic. The status of their blood elven counterpart has resulted in them being shunned by most of the Alliance, particularly the night elves.These elves eschewed their high elven ancestry in search for some way to placate their magical addiction and became the blood elves, and now use alternative magical sources to safeguard their lives. The destruction of the Sunwell has forced the high elves into decline, causing them to doubt the future of their once-proud race and drawing animosity toward them from other races who feel that the high elves have betrayed the Alliance. Most of the high elves have placed themselves under a self-imposed exile, ashamed of the damage that they have wrought upon the world of Magick.

Appearance: The Appearance of the High elves is different for one Elfin High Elf to another. They
stand slightly taller than humans. Bothe the males/females are usually a little over 6th feet height and
weight between 100 to 175 pounds depending on gender. These Elves are generally always very slim, with
sharp symmetrical features. They are also are often an exaggeration of perfect beauty. The High Elves
are uniformly in complexion, with white to flaxen colored hair. Their eyes are incredibly intense in color,
seeming to glow with an inner light. It seems that mostly the high elves may have either blue or green eyes,
having either violet or read is not unheard of. [note blood Elves have red eyes mostly or glowing pale green eyes] From what I discovered about the High Elves and their eyes - It seems their eyes have quite alot to do with the span of their life and they look much more like that of a human. Let me explain: It seems that the

Couple High Elves

structure of the High Elfin eyes shows that they are generally very much like humans with their  pupil and iris

that is surrounded by 'white' but they tend to be able to see much father that us humans are able too. They
also have much longer life span too several hundred years... Actually they reach adulthood at 110 years old,
and will live to a roughly age of maximum lifespan of 400+ years and even a few may live as long as a thousand years+ or more. although it is said that most of the High Elves will die at the around the age of
350years due to a rough life... Moat of the high elves do not were red or black clothing for the fear of being
mistaken as a blood elves. However the High Elves do have much shorter ears and much smaller , lighter bodies types that the blood elves and night elves so this does help them quite a bit. In addition their ears
usually are pointed upwards whereas those of the blood/night elves do not.
The High Elves have white, red, orange, brown, black and blonde hair and fair skin. All mostly have a
brilliantly intense sapphire coloured eyes that will glow.
In the World of Warcraft they have made the High Elves eyes colour an intense sapphire that makes them glow intense/ but have more variation according of eye colour in the game I told. The Blood Elves have only the emerald green glowing eyes to show their magick addiction and to fel magic. Also the Blood Elves in the   World of Warcraft - Game - The Blood Elves and High elves are for the most part the same race in terms of underlying physical biology. In the Game the Blood elves have the glowing green eyes and their hair and skin are much darker or a unnatural coloured. I know there is more, but I am really not familiar with the Game.. I have this session for you so you will get a little part of what the World of Warcraft is about and
how it relates to my High elves/Blood elves...

[This section concerns content exclusive to World of Warcraft.

In World of Warcraft, the high elves closely resemble blood elves appearance-wise (they in fact share the same model, although High Elves have blue eyes as opposed to the green eyes of Blood Elves), but their voices are more mild-mannered like those of night elves (in the game, they use the same voices as Night Elves, although unsuitable lines, such as "Elune'adore", "Ishnu'alah" or "Goddess watch over you", are not used). Taela Everstride at Allerian Stronghold even says, somewhat bemusedly, "No, don't feel bad. I get that a lot... I'm a high elf, not a blood elf. Don't worry, I won't suck the magic out of you." However, other than greeting voices, high elves and blood elves do appear to share similar voice emotes in-game, particularly  during combat. Before World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, in game high elves used modified night elf models.] This is not mind it is copy of you to understand a bit more about the World of Warcraft..Wendy

High Elves hidden high in the forest mountains

 As far as the High elfin homes the often use a blue or green color scheme, possibly to differentiate them from

the red-hued Architecture that was all destroyed in the Third Crown War. So they build their homes which

are aloof and distant from their allies. They keep to themselves and enjoy wandering the forest alone or

in small groups.

You would thing about it but the High Elves do have a faith just like you and I... Yes the high elves do embrace the path of religion taken on the mantle of the Holy Light, sharing in the same faith as the dwarfs and the Humans. While this 

philosophy does not penetrate deeply into high elfin society, those who do follow the path of the Holy

Light are much more approachable than most other Elfin kin. Many also take on a druid-like philosophy

High Elves look-out houses that surround the main cities in the Forest 

regarding  the world and nature. The difference being the High/Blood Elves view magic as being an integral

part of the universe, as it was created by the Titans and is as natural nature itself. As they would say the 

Well of Eternity formed naturally on Azeroth and created the elves in the first place. It seems that they

believe in the alliance of devotion to a  pantheon of gods not a creator God..

Well I hope you Enjoyed the post on the High Elves 

It seems that the Blood Elves are very closly related to these elves

So I think I will be doing a post at some point on the Blood elves too. 

I thought I would leave you with a few imagess 

Love you all my dear friends and followers 

Love and light  Hugssssssssssssss

Greek Goddess Circe-2015

Greek Goddess Circe~

Good afternoon my dear Friends and Followers I thought I would continue my quest to go thru the

Circe creating potions

different Gods & Goddesses of the Greeks of Olympians Titans. So for today I found the Goddess Circe which I haven't heard of before. So we will be learning together. It starts on the Island of Aeaea which was known to the ancient Greek as the Island of the Dawn. This is where the bewitching Goddess Circe lived. She was a very beautiful Goddess and daughter of Helios and Perse which was quite the powerful sorceress who loved using her magic to transform both men and women into different kinda creature beasts. It seems that Circe would take great pleasure in changing the physical bodies of humans victims while leaving them in a complete charge of their mental senses. So image this; Circe would take her human victims without them knowing what was going to happen, change them into whatever type

Greek Goddess Circe
Changing human victims into wolfs 

of animal she chose but she would keep their minds still human, not the mind of whatever animal she changed them too. Now that is cruel. It seems that the Goddess Circe is briefly mentioned in the tale of Medea. Yet she is best known for her journey in the Odysseus travels coming home from the Trojan War to Aeaea her home. As far as the Goddess Medea she was a devotee of the goddess Hecate and one of the greatest sorceresses of the ancient world. [At a later time I do plan to do a post on the Goddess too!] As to the tales of Odysseus coming to her island after the Trojan war - well it would seem that after the Odysseus lost all but one of his ships and the majority of his crew due to the Titans in the Trojan War, Odysseus, and his surviving mates found themselves landing upon the shores of the Goddess Circe home Aeaea. The tale goes; that upon arrival on the shores of the island there was much debate on who would stay aboard the ship and who would go off and explore the island. In the end, it would be Eurylochus and 22 of his mates.  

Goddess Circe And her Wild Animals
that were once Sailors of the Sea

So while investigating the tiny island, the men discovered it to be a thick forest with very large Oak trees. It was quite a long time for the men to get thru the thick Oak woods until they came upon an amazing clearing with a fabulous palace. It was a bit nervous for the men for there was lions, wolves, leopards, Black panthers and huge tigers prowling around the grounds. At first the men were quite fearful to be dinner, but instead the wild animals stood upright and warmly embraced each and every one of the men with a welcoming hug! Later though Eurylochus would indeed find out that the secrets of the Goddess Circe magic with her passion of changing humans into animals forms and that all the animals on the island were once men. So the men were very much on their guard or at least they thought they were.

probably deciding what animals
she would change them into

They had no idea they were in the company of a great powerful sorceress who loved using her magic & potions to transform both men and women into different kinda creature beasts. It seems that Circe would take great pleasure in changing the physical bodies of humans victims while leaving them in a complete charge of their mental senses. This is what exactly happen to the 22 men of the ship. As the men entered the halls of the palace there was beauty & seducing Circe weaving a tapestry upon her loom.

The Goddess Circe surrounded by wild
human animals after she worked on her
Tapestry on her large loom.

Surrounding her was many tame wild animals sitting and laying by her. Probably planning the faith for the 22 men. So she graciously invited all the men to join her for dinner. It was quite an enormous feast of food. She knew they hadn't eaten in quite a while. The men were all quite famished from their long days on the seas without food or drink until they drifted on the seashore of the island so they were very eager to accept her feast. However, their leader Eurylochus who was very suspicious of the goddess chose to remain outside. So while safely hidden by the very tall ferns & the luring eyes of 

Using either wine or
a potion in the food
to drug the men

Circe, Eurylochus was able to peek through a small window and see what was happening to his hungry sailors as they ate & ate. At first they seemed fine but after just a few more moments he knew that his mates food and wine was drugged by the Goddess Circe because she wasn't in the room. When he did see her enter the room, she had a sinister smile & was happy to find the entire men fast asleep at different area's of the room. So at that moment Circe drew her wand and touch each one of the men lightly about his shoulders & they instantly turn into an entire lot of swine hogs. Feeling quite amused, she hurried the now once sailors to swine hogs into a sty, where she left them to wallow in the mud. Well, Circe hadn't known that Eurylochus hadn't been in the room and was watching from outside. He was shocked and saddened for what had happened to the mates. So he hurried back to the ship to report to Odysseus and told him everything he saw. So the

Goddess Circe and all the
sailors mates turned into

Captain listened intently to what had happened to his crew when the story was over he picked up his own sword and ran off to rescue his crew- even if they were all a bunch of hogs. So as he made his way back to the palace of the Goddess Circe, he was met by the God Hermes who had in his possession a magical white flower with a black root. The White Flower is a special plant that only the gods themselves can grow. It contains very special properties that can repel the Goddess Circe Dark Magic. The God Hermes happened to be at her palace to help Odysseus & he readily accepted the flower from the God Hermes to help his men. So he hid it among his clothing before continuing on with his journey. After getting thru the thick Oak woods & the clearing, he found himself standing in front of the gates of the palace of Circe. The great

The Meeting of the Goddess
Circe and Odysseus

sorceress Circe once again welcomed her new guest happily into her palace set a place for him at the table. As always, the sorceress Circe encourage him to eat - eat - eat his fill. When she felt Odysseus was fast asleep, she placed her wand atop his shoulder and said to him softly ' Off to the stables with you too' she sneered but to her surprise, he had been protected by the magic talisman white flower jumped up with sword in hand. Of course, this took the Goddess/Sorceress Circe by surprise and she begged for her life promising Odysseus that in return she would share her bed with him and proclaim him co-ruler of the island Aeaea. Since he knew that he was truly dealing with a witch, so he refused to hear of her plan until Circe swore a solemn oath to the gods not to cause him any further mischief. The Goddess Circe agreed to the terms & afterwards drew her guest a warm

bath which he enjoyed while drinking wine from a golden cup. After the bath and drinking of wine, Circe led Odysseus to her bed in hope of seducing the handsome Captain, however, Odysseus refused all her seducing and luring advances until his mates were restored back to their rightful shape. He also got her to remove her curse from all those who she had bewitched in the past that landed on her island. Once all this was done Odysseus agreed to stay on the Island of Aeaea, where he went on to father three sons with Circe. When the time came for Odysseus to leave, Circe roused a breeze so that they all could make a smooth departure from the departure. On the day, they left Circe prepared them for some of the perils awaiting for them on their voyage home. But even though she said she helped their voyage home wasn't an easy one. There was another story to the Goddess, Sorceress, and Witch Circe it about Glaucus & Scylla.

Glaucus the God of the Sea
And the beautiful Sea Nymph
Scylla 

In this Tale of Glaucus & Scylla, it tells about how Circe has always lived up to her reputation of being an amorous woman. She often used her Sorceress and magick to rid herself of those who would rivaled her in love. There was one tale with the sea God Glaucus.  The Sea God Glaucus was a fisherman of the Gods who had a particularly large catch one day. However, as soon as the fish touched the green grass they began to wiggle as if they had been returned to the water. The Sea God Glaucus was shocked and watched as they made their way towards the sea and swam away. He wondered if the grass held a strange  power, so he decided to pluck a handful and tasted it to see. Once the Sea God Glaucus had put the hand full of grass herb in his mouth, he had an uncontrollable desire to be part of the sea. So it was true that the grass did have magical powers you could say! within seconds Glaucus had been heading for the water without thinking what he was doing. Afloat in the water he was very eagerly welcomed by the gods of the depths of the oceans. As he descended to the depths of the seas, the sea deities called upon the Oceanus & Tethy to wash away all traces of his mortality, making it possible for Glaucus to live among them forever. In order for this to happen the Oceanus Nymphs, 1000+ of them caused one hundred rivers to run over him, from this each drop of the hundred rivers that ran over him rendered Glaucus unconscious.

his love to the beautiful
Nymph Scylla

After some time he awoke, found himself in a totally different form. His hair was sea green with long tresses that flowed behind him while he rested softly upon the water. There more changes too, his lower body was no longer human legs but, now bore only a giant fish tale. After years of swimming the ocean seas Glaucus now more like a merman caught a glimpse of a beautiful nymph called Scylla. The Nymph had showed no interest in Glaucus, but instead she was content to spend the day playing with her sister sea nymphs. Whenever Glaucus would try to approach the nymph Scylla she would take just one look and swim away in fear. Poor Glaucus so much in love with the nymph Scylla would still follow her calling out to  her that he wasn't a monster, but a good God of the sea who had come to profess his love to her. However, no

the beautiful Nymph Scylla

matter how much the God Glaucus of the Sea tried to show her his true love for her, it was all in vain because every time he tried she would disappear. So he went to the only one he knew that could help him, he turned to the enchantress Circe.

 Glaucus went to the Enchantress Circe seeking for a love potion so it would successfully melt the Nymph's very cold heart. After Circe listened to Glaucus heartwarming story of his love for the nymph Scylla, she even

found herself falling in love with Glaucus. So Circe work on a love potion the very best one she knew of to help the Sea God and worked her own luring advances of romance on the Sea God herself. Hoping that he would forget all about the Nymph Scylla. But it didn't work Glaucus would have not part of Circe advances. He did sincerely express to Circe that it was very kind of her to show such affection toward him, but it was impossible for him to love any other but Scylla. For he has loved her for a very long time.  Well, you can only image how the goddess responded to that! She doesn't take well to being shunned for another. Sadly the help that the Sea God Glaucus had asked Circe to help him win over the beautiful Nymph Scylla over backfired and Circe turned her anger to the innocent young nymph that Glaucus had loved for so long. So what Circe

Scylla in her bathe starting to
change into the monster
with Glaucus watching & not a thing
can he do sadly

Sorceress did, was place an evil potion where Scylla would regularly bathe. She poured the entire potion into the water. As soon as Scylla entered her bathe she began to change into a horrible monster. Out of her body grew serpents & in the place of her legs were now growing the bodies of six ferocious dogs. Scylla didn't realize that the beasts were attached to her, so she tried so hard to run away from the horrible beasts.Sadly, the more she ran and swam the more the serpents & ferocious dogs grew larger & larger. It was only a matter of time that the lovely Nymph discover she couldn't escape her fate. She would forever be rooted like a stone in the Strait of Messina, as a monster of the sea where

Now the Nymph Scylla forever rooted
to her fate as a monster 

she would forever snatch up unsuspecting sailors from their ships. So basically if the nymph would only given in to Glaucus the Sea God that loved her so much and would do anything to be with her. He loved her so and probably would have given her a lovely live in the sea, but she was so vain she ended up a monster of the sea and was eventually turned into a giant stone. So you must be very careful not to cross the Goddess Circe she is a powerful goddess and not very nice in my option.
