Who are the High Order?

Thousands of years ago, a group of Highborne exiles made a pact with the spirits of the wind and built a civilization in Skywall, one of the elemental planes. The High Order descend from the ancient Highborne scholars of Eldre’Thalas.

Now the air spirits that guarded Zephras Isle have vanished and its old structures are starting to fail. To the High Order, the loss showed how much their people had come to depend on the elementals. They came to Azeroth to reclaim the arcane knowledge they once lost, so the Skyborne can survive on their own, and they fight for the Alliance.

Every High Order character begins on Zephras Isle, the Skyborne starting zone for levels 1 to 12, where the Windshapers of the Horde answer the same crisis very differently.

Which class should a High Order character play?

Mage suits a people of scholars best. If you like the idea of an elf who studied magic for centuries, this is your class.

Druid is the other standout: only the High Order and Night Elves can play one on the Alliance side. Hunter, Rogue and Warrior give you a more martial take on a learned race.
