Race

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.
