Skyborne

The Skyborne are a new playable race in World of Warcraft: Forever. They choose a faction when created: the High Order (Alliance) or the Windshapers (Horde). They start on Zephras Isle, levels 1-12.

Descendants of Highborne elves who hid in the Skywall for thousands of years and took up the elemental magic of the air. A Skyborne chooses a faction when created: the High Order, who seek to reclaim ancient arcane knowledge, join the Alliance; the Windshapers, who embrace their bond with the elements, join the Horde.

Requires the Skyborne Heroic Pack or a higher Forever edition. These details come from Blizzard's announcements and beta guides (sources below); exact racial numbers will come from the game's data after launch.
