Alliance · RACE GUIDE
Skyborne (High Order)
The Alliance's Skyborne path seeks arcane knowledge and independence from missing elemental patrons. High Order characters share the race's glide and haste, but gain a Health-and-Mana regeneration blessing. Their class selection includes Mage; the Horde profile offers Shaman instead.
THE RACE BEHIND THE TOOLKIT
Meet Skyborne (High Order)
The High Order shares the Skyborne's ancestry and Zephras Isle starting experience. Its scholars trace their heritage to Eldre'Thalas, but the disappearance of the wind spirits challenges their reliance on elemental protection.
Choosing the Alliance at character creation follows their search for lost arcane knowledge and greater self-reliance. Mage takes the faction-specific place occupied by Shaman among Windshapers; Warrior, Hunter, Rogue and Druid remain available to both Skyborne profiles.
What this means while you play
- Read Leyline increases Health and Mana regeneration by 50% for 15 seconds. Using it at a Ley Line also grants Attuned, a one-hour buff that persists through death: while Attuned, each 15-second Read Leyline gives 100% instead of 50%. It is not 100% regeneration for an hour. It cannot be used while Innervate is active, and Innervate replaces it.
- Walk on Air supplies the same controlled downward glide as the Horde profile. Its 90-second cooldown and ten-second duration describe a limited traversal ability rather than free flight.
- The profiles share Wind Blessed’s haste (2% since October 26) and Elemental Insight’s bonus against Elementals. Compare their class access and faction-specific blessings rather than treating the Alliance and Horde entries as entirely different toolkits.
