Race

=Overview=

The World of Warcraft is inhabited by many races of intelligent beings. These races speak different languages, have different homelands and racial traits, and can pursue different classes.

Though most races in WoW come from the world of Azeroth, some come from other worlds, such as Draenor, and the armies of the Burning Legion are culled from many worlds throughout the Twisting Nether.

Playable Races
Blood Elves was announced during Blizzcon 2005 as the Horde's new race for The Burning Legion expansion. --Dracomage 15:35, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)

High Elves are added because the High Elves did not like the idea of some of the High Elves taking the name Blood Elves so they went to war, the High Elves remained loyal to the Alliance and the Blood Elves joined the Horde
