Overview
The World of Warcraft is inhabited by many races of intelligent beings. These races speak different languages, have different homelands and racial traits, and can pursue different classes.
Though most races in WoW come from the world of Azeroth, some come from other worlds, such as Draenor, and the armies of the Burning Legion are culled from many worlds throughout the Twisting Nether.

NOTE: Wisps are NOT the new Alliance race. This is just an April Fool's joke.

‡ Information about Class and Base Stats for Blood Elves and identity of new alliance race is speculative until a more information comes from an upcoming Beta of Burning Crusade.
