  1. A brand new race, everything about it is new.
  2. Only the Horde side can be a shaman, and the unique ability here is Skysight.
  3. Own shaman totems shaped like elven braziers, and their own totem quests.
  4. Zephras Isle leads to Thunder Bluff, aboard a skycutter ship from Valanaar.
  5. Requires the paid Heroic Pack from $29.99. There is no classic-graphics model yet, promised for early 2027.

Story and choice

Story

The Windshapers stayed true to the spirits of air and lead their people as priests of the elements. They share Zephras Isle and a language with the High Order, but chose the path of the Horde. They look like blood elves, but with feathers in their hair.

TipPaid race: Heroic Pack from $29.99. Only the Horde can have a shaman, only the Alliance a mage.
