The Skyborne are the first new playable race in WoW Forever, and they are the only race that chooses its faction at character creation. Pick Horde or Alliance, and your Skyborne joins that side for the rest of their journey.
Classes
Both factions can play a Skyborne Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, or Druid. Your faction adds one more option:
- Horde Skyborne can become Shamans.
- Alliance Skyborne can become Mages.
Can’t decide? Roll a random character and see whether the cards land on a Skyborne.
Racial Abilities
Like every race in Forever, the Skyborne have two active and two passive racials. Walk on Air is their signature active, Wind Blessed and Elemental Insight are their passives, and the second active depends on your faction: Read Ley Line for the Alliance and Skysight for the Horde. See every racial in the Skyborne guide.
Zephras Isle
Every Skyborne begins on Zephras Isle, a starting experience that covers levels 1 to 12 before you head out into the wider world. Find it in the zones guide.
How to Play a Skyborne
Base WoW Forever access comes with an active World of Warcraft subscription or Game Time. The Skyborne race and the Zephras Isle starting experience are included with the Skyborne Heroic Pack.
