this is a very interesting dynamic to explore that faction limitations prevented. While most forsaken are with the horde, because most humans reject them, this isn't always the case, in especially in Lordaeron now, a lot of families have come to accept their loved ones in this new form, but still many do not. Some forsaken are happy to fight for the alliance, even though acceptance is few and far between. As a long lived race, the blood elves have looked well beyond the horde, the horde isn't their making nor their responsibility, it's a young faction spearheaded by a very young race (the orcs), building a racial future on it, is not a priority, they help for now, securing magical mastery is far more important, hence the close allies with Lightforged and nightborne.įorsaken: After the vents of the BFA prequel novel, Calia Menethil, there are humans and forsaken willing to work together. Thalassians have generally drifted away from faction fanaticism and loyalties, they help out but pursuing magical themes like the light with Draenei, and the arcane with nightborne from the kaldorei empire are where their future lies. Void elves - although Silvermoon still doesn't want them near the Sunwell, yet they are the only ones that can protect it from Ethereal void incursions which will surely return, some blood elves know this and void elves sometimes ally with the horde to be in a better position to helpīlood elves: Blood elves are horde, but high elves are alliance - same race, same options, you can choose your faction, if you go alliance you're now called a high elf. Lightforged develop a very close friendship with blood elves, building on the shattered offensive with normal draenei. Lightforged - focused on the goals of the Light, unlike the first Draenei to contact Azeroth, they aren't picking sides, the Light wants EVERYONE. Night elves should be developed as faction anyway Highborne night elves actually want to lead the races rather than retreat from them so you can role play as one of them actively joining either faction to help lead or guide. Night elves: The night elf playable faction (the Darnassians) no longer care about the factions - they view the alliance as unfaithful and the horde as morally weak - but they don't stop individuals joining either - night elves who do aim to "restore" their faction. Worgen: night elf worgen and Val'Sharah worgen are friendly to the horde Kul'tirans - the pirate faction is friendly to the horde For the faction locked, you can still join a guild of the opposite faction, but you can't change your faction.įor the races who can choose, once you choose your faction, it's final on that character (that's why paid faction change remains), however you can still join guilds of the opposite faction with taht character. other races have rivalries, but also friendships based on sub-factions, and is dealt with on a per-race basis.īut everyone else can now choose either.
and this is where all the faction drama mostly remains. Race wise Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Orcs, Tauren, Trolls are staunch loyal to the alliance and horde respectively. Lore is important, so the factions are still going to be important, but how the races do them will change Dramatically.However guilding would require a changing faction with your character - yes if you can join a guild in the opposite faction with your race, even if that race doesn't work with that faction - it's an individual choice.Open up raiding, grouping to faction team ups.Open up some races to both factions, but keep some races core off.Here is one way of fleshing the detail of what happened to the races in lore. New friendships and enmities exist on a per race bases In the lore/story - only humans/gnomes/dwarves are alliance exclusive and on horde Orcs/Trolls/Tauren - this doesn't affect players (players can still choose any faction), all the other races have left the faction unity, and are doing their own things. However you make your character and start in the traditional faction, before the choice to choose comes.Ģ. If you are a player, you can play for whatever faction you want. they have to find a way of opening up more of the races to both factions without losing uniqueness of the dual faction system. to be honest, i think they should go much further. We know they are exploring mixed faction raiding and grouping etc.
