The Skyborne: Racials, Classes, and Mounts Guide
The Skyborne represent a brand new playable race in World of Warcraft: Forever. Originating from Zephras Isle, their lineage splits into two distinct cultural paths aligned with the Alliance and the Horde.
The Alliance-aligned High Order Skyborne pursue arcane mastery, granting access to the Mage class. The Horde-aligned Windshaper Skyborne embrace elemental traditions, granting access to the Shaman class. Both factions can also become Warriors, Hunters, Rogues, and Druids.
