The Skyborne are a new playable race introduced in World of Warcraft: Forever — the first race built entirely new for the game rather than adapted from an existing one. Skyborne characters choose to align with either the Alliance or the Horde at creation, with each choice unlocking a distinct sub-branch, racial ability, and slightly different class list.
Overview
[edit | edit source]The two Skyborne branches are:
- High Order (Alliance) — leans toward arcane, ley-line-based magic
- Windshaper (Horde) — leans toward elemental and storm-based traditions
Both branches share three racial abilities and gain one exclusive fourth racial based on their faction choice.
Classes
