Who are the Night Elves?

The Night Elves are among the oldest peoples of Azeroth. Ten thousand years ago their ancestors’ love of magic nearly destroyed the world, and the survivors turned away from arcane magic to follow nature and the moon goddess Elune.

For thousands of years they slept and kept watch in their forests. After the Third War cost them their immortality, they joined the Alliance. Their druids walk the Emerald Dream, and their Sentinels guard the woods of Kalimdor.

Which class should a Night Elf play?

Druid is the class most tied to the Night Elves. Only they and the new High Order can play one on the Alliance side, and shifting between bear, cat and caster forms fits a people who live close to the wild.

A Night Elf Hunter with a nightsaber companion is just as classic, and a Rogue slipping through the shadows feels right for a race of the night. Priest and Warrior complete the list.

Choose the fantasy you like, and make sure your friends are on the Alliance too.
