hey everyone who has unlocked the allied races

tell me about your new characters. i want to hear about your nightborne, highmountain, lightforged, and void elf characters and what they’re up to

As I don’t subscribe to the nu “void > everything” direction that Blizzard is taking, I haven’t made a void elf (aka crack elf) and likely never will.

As for the others:

My Nightbourne is my first mage in 9 years of WoW (since I follow the Warcraft 3 lore, arcane magic is as evil as void and feel). Named her Sandrine after the French actress Sandrine Bouchard (no connection to her portrayal of Joan of Arc: just needed a French sounding name that wasn’t obnoxiously so like Valtrois). She’s 94 and has actively fought the Night Elves, whim she hates for their distrust of magic: even took her to Pandaria (which I had sworn off doing, as I hate MoP). She’s REALLY freaking squishy: worse than my priest! Not sure I like mages at all.

My Lightforged Draenei is a paladin and is currently level 80. She spent her time in the Eastern Kingdoms, running dungeons as a tank and fighting the undead. She went straight into Northrend at 60 and will plow through Cataclysm zones for the 80-90 grind. She has a very sexy accent (also her name is Lanaah because I’m bad at names).

My Highmountain Tauren is a hunter (my second hunter). Her name is Ehawee (which is Lakota for “laughing maiden”, which is appropriate for all of her hilarious /silly emotes). She has only gotten to 26, since I have been leveling four other alts and the 7.3.5 leveling experience is fun, but VERY slow.

More details to be revealed if desired.

Overview

Humla always thought she knew where her life was going; she was a Pinefur after all, and wise in the ways the roads twist and turn from one season to the next. She could not have been more wrong.

As a youngster, Humla was raised by her huge extended family as much as she was by her young widowed mother. As a result, she grew up into a strong young woman, well skilled in the arts of the Pinefur family. In the spring and summer, her beloved grandfather taught her how to listen to the trees, and how to tell which ones would fall this season rather than the next. In the stormy winter months, she sat on her grandmother’s knee, learning all the ways that sap can be shaped and sung into something useful and good. By the time she’d settled into adult life and begun to think of a mate and calves of her own, the winds of change had crept upon the Broken Isles.

The coming of the Legion and the betrayal of the Drogbar set Humla’s life on its head. Called to serve as a guard in Thunder Totem, Humla found an intense love for protecting and looking after her people that she hadn’t expected when they’d first given her an axe meant for flesh and not bark. Her inexperience marked her, and yet she found she loved the intensity of battle even as it frightened her. After that, there was no going back to the simple life of a lumberjack.

Now that she’s out in the wider world, Humla has a great deal to learn. Without her family at her side, and with a fresh secret burning a hole in her heart, she’s set herself on a path that she cannot see the end of.
