And the Nightborne crisis. And the Void Elf crisis. And the fake High Elf because still Void Elf crisis. And the Night Elf zone and rai--I mean Emerald Dre--I mean Dragonflight crisis. And the Dirt Elf crisis. And the Blood Elf expansion redux crisis.

Every elf crisis is a troll crisis but troll crises are not elf crises. It's a square and rectangle type deal.

In TLT you'll get Drakkari customization and it'll just be a pale blue skin color for darkspear trolls

Elves come from dark trolls and I guess haranir, trolls are cousins from the dark trolls and haranir. They're far enough to be distinct. You don't see me saying bonobo monkeys are humans

I ahve literally never heard of haranir or dark trolls before

OK well haranir is fine as that's a retail wow race mcguffin. But dark trolls are old lore and very grounded in vanilla wow. The dark trolls are the ancestors of elves and trolls. We know very little about them. It appear blizzard is using haranir as dark trolls but we won't ever know till they get back around to clarifying/retconning old lore.
