Race
From WoW-Quest.NET
The Warcraft Universe is inhabited by many races of sentient and intelligent beings. These races speak many different languages, have different homelands and racial traits, and can pursue different classes.
Though most races 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.
Currently there are two playable factions in World of Warcraft, the Alliance and the Horde, and each comprise of five very different races who can play a variety of different classes.
