Adventurer is the lore name for player characters.^{[citation needed]}  Although unnamed and numerous, it is thanks to these brave individuals that Azeroth has been saved on numerous occasions in recent (and past) times.

Races and classes

The adventurers mostly come from either of the two larger factions on Azeroth, being the Horde and Alliance (death knights are considered part of The Knights of the Ebon Blade thought they mostly retain their alliegance to their former faction). As such, most of them are of the six larger races of each faction, namely blood elves, darkspear trolls, draenei, dwarves, forsaken, goblins, gnomes, humans, night elves, orcs, tauren and worgen.

Loyalty

Adventurers are mostly loyal to their faction, Horde or Alliance, but are willing to work for other neutral organizations such as the Argent Dawn or Steamwheedle Cartel for either gold or faction rewards.

Power

Where a regiment of orc grunts or human footmen fail, the adventurers succeed. Many are one-man (or one-woman) armies, being able to defeat a large number of enemies, whilst even getting stronger. Their strength comes from slaying foes and performing tasks as well as from the magic coming from their armor, weapons or magic items. Yet, when the time comes, adventurers work together, unlocking incredible power to defeat powerful monsters.

Although each adventurer has a different sort of gear, all have a  [Hearthstone]. This magic stone allows the wielder to return to a specific location where the stone is bound to.

Known actions

Though uncertain why or how, the adventurers saved the day numerous times in recent years.

From fighting off (or for) the Orcish Horde during the First and Second Wars, to assisting Prince Arthas Menethil in purging Stratholme and battling the Burning Legion atop Mount Hyjal.

More recent examples range from stopping Orgrimmar's corruption from Ragefire Chasm and stopping the prisoners escaping The Stockades. Adventurers have also been able to slay Zalazane and liberate Gnomeregan.

Adventurers have aided the druid of Naralex free Naralex in the Wailing Caverns, destroy the Scarlet Crusade's presence in the Scarlet Monastery, slay the scourge in Stratholme including Baron Rivendare and Balnazzar.

They also aided in re-opening the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, fighting off the Scourge during its invasions and sparking the invasion of Naxxramas. Adventurers are very loyal to their home factions however and will hear the call to war.

Even more recently, they journeyed into Outland, holding off the Illidari and Burning Legion activities. They have also aided in restoring the timeline in the Caverns of Time and assisted the Shattered Sun Offensive in re-taking Sunwell Plateau by defeating the mighty legionlord Kil'jaeden.

In the past year, they have joined the fight against the Scourge in Northrend and killing the Old God Yogg-Saron with the help of Brann Bronzebeard and the Kirin Tor. They have braved the Argent Tournament, even going as far as assaulting Icecrown Citadel and defeating the Lich King alongside Tirion Fordring and the Ashen Verdict.

The coming events of the Cataclysm and the re-emergence of Deathwing will throw new challenges to the adventurers of Azeroth.
