Who are the Windshapers?

The Skyborne began as Highborne exiles who bound themselves to the wind spirits long ago and made a home in Skywall. The Windshapers descend from the first shen’dorei high elves to receive the spirits’ gift of elemental skysight.

That gift is why the spirits’ disappearance hits them so hard. With the guardians of their island gone, its communities cut off from each other and its ancient buildings giving way, the Windshapers came to Azeroth to learn what became of their elemental mentors. They will stop at nothing to bring the wind spirits back and keep their way of life, and they stand with the Horde.

Your Windshaper starts on Zephras Isle, levels 1 to 12, where the High Order of the Alliance argue for the opposite path: learning to live without the elementals.

Which class should a Windshaper play?

Shaman is the natural fit for a people with an elemental gift. Druid is the other rare choice, shared on the Horde side only with Tauren.

Hunter, Rogue and Warrior let you play a Windshaper who fights with steel and bow rather than with the wind.
