WoW World of Warcraft Races - Blood Elves, Draenei & Dwarf
Formerly known as High Elves, the Blood Elves once resided in the Kingdom of Quel’Thalas. Sustained by the magical font, the Sunwell, High Elves were a race commanding extraordinary mystic powers. When, during the Third War, the Hoard Undead invaded Qual-Thalas, Arthas, leader of the undead corrupted the Sunwell in an arcane ritual to resurrect the lich Kel’thuzad.
The remaining high-elves, deprived of their source of energy, learned to extract magic from ambient sources. They became reliant on demonic energies, which corrupted and transformed their bodies. The alliance shunned the elves for their use of this ancient source of evil, and so the race decimated by the Horde joined their ranks to pursue the demons that initiated the conflict.
A new race to Burning Crusade, Blood Elves will start on Sunstrider Isle near Quel’Thalas
Blood Elves can choose from among these classes: Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage, and Warlock.
Draenei, the exiled ones, originated on the world of Argus where they were known in a lesser form as the Eredar. Sargeras, the Destroyer of Worlds, noticed the grace, intelligence, and potency of eredar magic. Sargeras made an offer of the Eredar to amplify their strength, magic, and knowledge in exchange for their services as commanders of the Burning Legion.The offer fractured the race. Those who accepted Sargeras’s offer became demons, tremendous and vile.
A benevolent race of light, the naaru, offered the remainder of the Eredar safe haven. They fled their evil brethren taking up the name Draenei. They learned the magic and gained knowledge from the Naaru and eventually settled on a planet, Draenor. Eventually, the persistent burning legion, found their home. Kil’jaeden corrupted the native Orcs, unleashing them upon the Draenor as the vile Horde, destroying most of their race.
A new race to Burning Crusade, the Draenei make their home in the Azuremyst Isle, northeast of Kalimdor where their dimensional ship crashed.
Draenei can play as Warriors, Paladins, Hunters, Priest, Shaman, and Mages.
The Dwarves are an ancient race of strong warriors who live deep beneath the mountains of Khaz Modan. They have always been allied with the humans, battling together since the second war. They rarely leave their fortress but when battle is on they are there to defend their allies with whatever it takes. The best resource for Dwarf strategies is at Skryer.
The Dwarves believe that the mighty titans formed them from stone when the world was young and they feel that it is their destiny to discover more about the Titans’ hidden legacies. Because of this the Dwarves now have established excavation sites all over the world.
