Some Notes

- This profile is considered composite

between end of Warlords of Draenor
and the beginning of Battle of Azeroth.
As a result, some Draenor additions,
such as the Arrakkoa, are included.
- The full profile will contain mechanical
information that governs magic for both
the Alliance and the Horde. The relevant
sections should be read first before
reading either one of those factions.
Unlike many sources of magic in fiction,
Warcraft magic comes from multiple different
sources, all of which share two competing
lineages dating back to the creation of all.
Several types of magic are paired together as a
result of these competing lineages.
Light & Void: In the beginning, there was Light,
the first element of creation. Before life began
and before even the universe existed, there was
only the Light. The Light existed as a boundless
sea of living energy, swelling across all of
existence, unfettered by time and space. Yet as
the ever-shifting sea expanded, pockets of cold
nothingness appeared, giving birth to a second,
opposite force: the Void or, as its sometimes
known, the shadow.
Whereas Light was associated with life, healing,
protection, love and other positive emotions the
Void came to be associated with undeath,
decay, entropy, and negative emotions like
panic and despair. In a poetic sense, it can be
said that the emotions which the Light brings
about come from the "heart," whereas the
emotions manipulated by shadow are often
based on survival logic, and therefore affect the
"mind." That said, there are different shades to
both the Light and Shadow and neither should
be thought of completely evil/order. After all, the
Void is a source of free will while the pure
followers of the Light only ever see one path and
refuse to accept those that disagree.
Arguably, the Light and Shadow are the two
most powerful sources of magic in Warcraft.
With the Light one can bring back the dead, heal
allies, see the probable future, cast powerful
spells of protection, smite foes (bonus if the foe
is unholy), boost morale and more. Meanwhile,
the shadow can also resurrect the dead (though
differently), sap away life, see all possible
futures (which the user will then have to sort
through), invoke despair or even madness.
Wielding the Light requires faith in the element
while wielding the void requires both its touch
(which isn’t hard to find in Azeroth) and the
willpower to resist its maddening whispers.
Arcane & Fel: When the Light and Void
clashed, two differing realities and sets of magic
systems emerged from their struggle. The first,
the physical reality, a realty bound by universal
laws, would be governed by arcane magic,
which prized order. Arcane magic governs the
flow of space and time and allows the user to
control the various elements of the physical
universe, even fel magic to an extent. With
Arcane magic one can unleash fire and water
spells, manipulate time, turn someone into a
sheep, animate golems, power machinery,
create portals, see the future and more.
Wielding this magic, howefver, requires years of
study and intense concentration.
Meanwhile, in the astral dimension of the
Twisting Nether the highly chaotic Fel magic
rose into being. It is demonic, entropic, chaotic
and extremely volatile. While easier to use than
arcane, fel brings with it an extreme risk of
corruption. On the minor level this results in
various physical characteristics, such as turning
green or more serious ones like spikes being
attached to arms. Ultimately, it will turn the user
into a demon if not properly controlled. Like
arcane, fel can be used to control other
elements though it ultimately corrupts said
forms. Fel can be used to burn, create terrible
demonic machines, steal life and more.
Life and Death: Within the universe emerged
life and with life came death. The forces of Life-
drawing, on Azeroth, from the Emerald Dream,
the mystical realm of Life without civilization-
help instill growth, healing and renewal. That is
not to say they cannot be used to invoke death,
just that they do so in a roundabout way. Such
as a druid using his connection with life to cause
massive tree roots to grow and strangle a foe, or
else commanding denizens of the forest to
attack.
Death, of course, is death. It is a an unavoidable
force that breeds despair in mortal hearts and
pushes everything towards a state of entropic
decay and eventual oblivion. Masters of death
can utilize spells that cause an opponent to age
rapidly or even fall over altogether, their insides
dust. Yet, just like Life can invoke death so too
can death invoke life- or at least a twisted
parody of it. For the undead may have their own
consciousness but their bodies and minds
continue to rot away.
The Elements: At the bottom of the magic pole
are the individual elements: Earth, Wind, Fire,
Water and two more known as Spirit and Decay.
The first four are fairly self-explanatory while
Spirit and Decay are manifestations of life and
death respectively on the elemental scene.
Spirit can be used to connect and heal the
elements while Decay can be used to harm and
control them. Shaman make pacts with the
elements to command their powers in battle.
Each element has a secondary power to it other
than the obvious. For example while water can
drown, scald or freeze it can also be used to
heal and calm. Fire burns and can be used to
bring about courage and passion. Air
elementalists can control cyclones but the
freedom of air is also associated with creativity.
Earth can crush and be used to bring about
stability. Spirit brings about bravery while decay
is actually associated with efficiency. However
too much of something is a bad thing and each
of the six elements has a negative association-
Indecisiveness, fury, madness, stubbornness,
naiveté and ruthlessness respectively.
Other Magics: Other forms of magic, such as
rune magic or mysterious voodoo do exist. It is
questionable how they fit into this chart however
they shall be dealt with in time.
As a rule magic in Warcraft is medium to high
inclusion, but diluted in power. That means that
in Warcraft, magic users are while not common
can be comfortably called “uncommon”. Even for
the low numbers Warcraft generally uses you
can clearly see dozens or more in each army,
and in game magic users command a
respectable presence. This is due to the fact
that, unlike with other fictions where genetics or
godly blessings are required, technically anyone
can learn or utilize magic. However, based on
the personalities required not everyone can
learn magic effectively. For example someone
who gets distracted every two seconds probably
lacks the discipline to successfully wield arcane.
Magic for most (but not all!) Azeroth magic users
is focused on a singular or small group level.
That means most of their spells would only
affect a single enemy or ally or a small group at
once. However there are two exceptions.
Powerful champions like Tyrande, Anduin, Thrall
or Malfurion can easily effect dozens, hundreds
or even more at once! In addition, there are
sometimes rare rituals and power transfusions
that allow for the pooling of magical power to
bring about mass destruction.
Magic in the Profiles: Magic is kind of all over
the place in Warcraft and for that reason there is
not one section below that escapes it! For the
most part I have tried to assign magic users to
specific profiles, however oftentimes they
appear common enough in a given unit profile
that I still note them. Or, they use a type of
magic not seen elsewhere, I note them in the
assigned unit such as Vyrkul and their
runeseers. There are three ways magic users
make their appearance known in Warcraft
armies.
One is to imagine them in the same vein as
modern army regiments and divisions. Just as
infantry divisions are overwhelmingly comprised
of infantrymen but have support and specialist
attachments- medics, anti-armor etc – so too
might Warcraft armies have magical
attachments like priests and mages. These are
unlikely to be masters of their craft but are still
skilled users or else trainees learning from their
teachers.
The second is independent champions that
come to the field of battle to fight, whether they
be adventurers or champions. Such champions
are likely to have greater knowledge than the
average soldier mage and their acquired spellset
is significantly better. Sometimes these
champions are even leaders.
Armies or forces comprised entirely or nearly
entirely of magic users do exist. Examples
include the Duskwatch of the Nightborne, the
Army of the Light, the Kirin Tor or in those
examples where the different class orders
mobilize a unified army. In these cases even
non-magical support staffs likely have a magical
weapon.
PRIMARY
UNITS
Vyrkul- Take a Viking, make them 9-10 feet tall
and then give them weapons and steel or
leather armor of the size to match and you have
a Vyrkul. They are gender segregated but no
less formidable as the males wield berserker
style axes, swords and thrown javelins or
harpoons while the females fight with a man
sized bow and spear sized arrows at range, with
the spear and shield being favored up front.
Some use the grappellauncher, a gun that can
be used to climb mountains or dig into the flesh
of flying foes. Already warlike by nature, Vyrkul
believe that, if they die well and valorously they
will be rewarded by in the afterlife. They are
supported by runeseers who
can use the magic bound in
ruins to empower weapons,
unleash lightning or provide
limited magical healing.
- Numbers: Vyrkul

across two continents
though most do not
serve Odyn and thus
don’t appear here.
Consider them rather
uncommon.
Elementals- Man or, more
rarely, Ogre sized beings of
flame, water, rock or air, with
some additional rare variants
thrown in. Such elementals
attack with their given element, for example fire
burns people, air elementals can hit so hard to
tear through flest, water can scald or freeze and
earth pounds and crushes. These are elemental
beings who are very durable to physical harm
but with one weakness: the gauntlets on their
wrists. These gauntlets allow them to maintain a
presence on the physical realm and should they
be separated from the main body-i.e. their wrists
are cut off- the rest of the elemental will
disappear.
- Numbers: Elements number in their
millions in their own realm. Counts as a
high reinforcement unit.
Army of Ulduar – Take a Dwarf or Vyrkul and
form their entire body from iron or stone.
Wearing further steel over their forms, the Iron
Army is a formidable front-line force capable of
weathering immense punishment as they maul
foes with axes, swords and hammers. They also
have backup of lightning wielding mages,
shamen specializing in earth or rune magic to
empower their weapons.
- Numbers: Rare, given all the recent
troubles of Ulduar. However, the Titan

 Warlocks control only one minor planet,
these demons can respawn in time
unless killed in the Twisting Nether. In
addition to sending in individual squads
each and every warlock will be
accompanied by at least one demon.
Dragonspawn – Centaur sized creatures
with the feet of a dragon, but the body of an
ogre. They wield immense great weapons in
combat and many know minor magical
spells of their given dragon’s lore (for
example Red Dragonspawn can unleash fire
while Green might know some renewal
spells). They come with thick hide or scale
mail.
- Numbers: Very Rare, only ever seen
when a dragon takes the field.
Shivarra – Ten foot tall demon species with six
arms and a fanatical disposition. They are
excellent shock warriors and many also know
some sort of spellcraft, such as fel fire, life
draining shadow or mental manipulation attacks.
A segment of this race has allied with the Illidari
and some further can be found with Warlocks.
- Numbers: Very Uncommon.
Abomination – Standing up to three times taller
than a man, an Abomination is a stitched
together Frankenstein monster armed with a
multitudes of cleaves, hooks and blades across
3-5 arms. Some of these chains can extend 20-
30 feet while other Abominations explode in
volatile gas upon death. Abominations can be
made by skilled apothecaries or necromancers.
- Numbers: Uncommon
Robotic Constructs – There are three types to
be found here. The first, the Arcane Golem, is a
hulking creation that ranges from Ogre sized, to
several times greater. Used primarily by mage
forces to provide a hulking frontline troop while
they unleash spells from the rear, the Arcane
golem hits with multi-ton attacks and some can
unleash pulses of arcane energy. Apexis
Golems are man sized golems of an ancient
Arrakkoan civilization repurposed by their
descendants. What they lack in size they make
up in magical ability as they can use the holy
light to empower allies or unleash an
Archimedes like mirror to use the sun to scorch
enemies at a distance. Lastly, the Iron Golem,
Ogre sized, is used by the Army of Uludar to
smash enemy front lines. Some can use
electricity in combat.
- Rare. The Arcane Golem variant is
available to both the Alliance and Horde,
though more common for the Horde.
Monks- Melee combat specialists who are
masters of unarmed combat. It is documented
that a well trained monk child can fight through
dozens, or even hundreds of unskilled monkey
Hozen and adult monks are reliably worth
several of their foes in close combat. Many can
create special brews that empower allies or else
heal them with the mists. During the events of
Legion they acquired Stormbrew for the whole
main monk order, which can give them
ludicrious speed, empower all physical stats to
an insane degree and even numb all pain.
- Numbers: Uncommon. Monks dominate
the Pandaren culture and they have
spread their teachings to literally every
civilized race on the planet. Vies with
the warrior and the hunter as the most
common class.
Death Knights- Undead Warrior-Knights who
bring unholy magic to the battlefield. They can
raise the dead, unleash plagues, use blood
magic to empower themselves, or command the
ice. Each Death Knight was already a skilled
warrior when he or she was resurrected and
through training become greater still. They wield
magical runeblades into battle and come
equipped with the famously magically resistant
Saronite armor.
- Numbers: Along with the Demon Hunter
they are the rarest of the classes. Likely
number in the high hundreds to low
thousands at best.
Paladin- Holy warriors of the Light. Specialists
armed in magically enchanted plate who can
cast very powerful healing spells, magical
shields that can stop artillery, and unelash all
sorts of holy magic upon their enemies. Anti-
Undead/Demonic specialists.
- The Knights of the Silver Hand: The
Oldest order of Paladins unique to
Azeroth, the Knights of the Silver Hand
were traditionally a calvarly oriented
force that fought (and still does) for the
Alliance. The ORDER of the Silver Hand
is the ruling council of Alliance and
Horde Paladin orders.
- Numbers: For the most part, very
uncommon. However the Alliance has
one variant that can be considered
almost common.
Rapid Relief
Imp Packs- Snarling little demons that stand
about knee high with sharp claws and ability to
cast soccer ball sized fel fire balls. Relatively
easy to deal with solo, Warlocks have deployed
them in great packs to overwhelm their enemies.
- Numbers: Uncommon
Gargoyles - Giant, flying Gargoyles . Most
gargoyles attack with teeth and claws, along
with a ranged attack that seems to utilize a
corrupted form of natural magic to drain life from
foes or else otherwise blow up upon contact.
Others seem to attack with an electrocution type
spell, spit acid or else are plagued and help
spread the Plague of the Undeath. Also
grabbing enemy ground units, lifting them up
high in the air and dropping them remains a
favored way to deal with ground infantry. If
wounded they can transform into magically
resistant stone. In this state they regenerate
rapidly, however their hide is already resistant to
blows.
- Numbers: Fairly Uncommon
Arrakkoa – Race of Birdmen split into two
factions. The first, the High Arrakkoa, can fly ,
are graceful and are noted for using chakrams in
combat. Their priests can use the sun to burn
enemies, heal allies or unleash blinding flashes
of light. The second, the Wingless Arrakkoa,
wield shadow spells, stealth aided by said
shadow, and poisoned blades, often coming
from ambushes. The two factions of Arrakkoa,
once enemies, allied during the Legion invasion
of Draenor.
- Numbers: Uncommon. Most of their
race was devastated by Civil War,
centuries of decline and fighting the
Legion.
Dryad – These half night elven women and half
deer function as skirmishers for both the Alliance
and the druids who unleash volleys of poisoned
javelins on their enemies. Some also know
druidic magic and can remove the magical buffs
on enemies- or curses on allies.
- Numbers: Uncommon
Order of the Cloud Serpent – Pandaren
Order that rides giant flying cloud serpents
(think Chinese Dragons) into battle. These
serphents, who are protected by thick
scales, breathe lightning on enemies while
their Monk riders use spears or bombs on
enemies.
- Numbers: Rare
Hunters- Powerful survivalists, marksmen and
trainers of beasts who hunt throughout the world
of Azeroth. They are excellent trappers and
trackers, capable of laying all sorts of magical
equipment on the ground for unwary foes to step
on. They are also legendary marksmen with
some capable of shooting accurately through
buildings of hitting the eye of a dragon 100
meters away. Finally, most hunters have a beast
companion that can range from the mundane,
like a lion or gorilla, to the exotic, like a T-Rex or
Chimera.
- Unseen Path: The union of the best
hunters and marksmen in the world.
Provides a rough sort of organization for
 a class devoid of much organization.
They can equip their members with
Azure projectiles, a magical stone said
to be nearly indestructible and which
ignores armor.
- Uncommon: This, along with the monk
and warrior, is one of the most common
classes.
Thorognir- A minor dragonflight of dragons who
can breathe concentrated electricity at foes.
Most are about the size of a minivan and
sometimes they permit Valarjar riders to ride on
top of them.
- Numbers: Very Uncommon
Shock and Awe
Infernals- Giant hulking slabs of animated stone
that can stand several times larger than an ogre.
The Infernal is always on fire and impervious to
most weapons and heavily magically resistant.
These daemons exist only to crush, pummel, or
crash through whatever obstacles-living or not-
lay in their path. When they arrive, they arrive as
a meteor directed at enemies in a shockwave
attack.
- Numbers: Very Rare
Sons of Hodir- Thirty foot frost giants
accompanied by wolves that stand two-three
times taller than a man. Wield giant ice weapons
and can unleash minor frost spells on enemies.
- Number

Legion
Spaceship that

for the Demon
Hunters. These
can teleport through space, unleash volleys of
magical fel fire cannons and a concentrated rift
cannon that can destroy three other spaceships
in one burst. Accompanied by a legion of Illidari
felbats. It’s one weakness is fuel and every time
it uses its weapons, it will need to be fed more
souls (preferably of the enemy).
- Numbers: 1
Dragonflights – Full sized dragons (many are
bus sized) of four different branches. The red
dragonflight guard over life and can breathe
traditional fire, which incinerates the corrupted
so new life can be born. The Blue Dragonflight
are scholars that can breathe concentrated
arcane or ice magic. The mysterious bronze
dragonflight can breathe superhuman sand or
manipulate time, including turning their opponent
into a baby. The Green Dragonflight breathes
acid and can manipulate illusions, including
causing visions of nightmare that cause
madness.
- Numbers: Rare. Slow Breeding to begin
with, these dragonflights have been
decimated by recent years of war. In
order from most to least common are
red, bronze, green and blue.
Frost Wyrm- Giant, undead frost dragons on
loan to Death Knights from the Lich King. Some
of these creatures are truly enormous and the
Deathlord recently added to their number by
resurrecting a Thorognir graveyard, who can
breathe fire.
- Numbers: Very

Artifacts of Mass
Destruction – Various
magical artifacts
considered
superweapons. The
Hammer of
Khaz'goroth can
destroy a town in a
single blow, the Aegis
of Aggramar once

Tears of Elune have extreme healing properties,
the Tidestone of Golgannoth can be used to
inflict great flooding, the Eye of Aman’thul once
timestopped an entire army and the Focusing
Iris can empower any magic one hundred fold.
Per KC tournament rules, which dictate that no
superweapon can single handily win a battle,
these have controlled use.
- 1 of each
Mana Bombs- Bombs infused with arcane.
Depending on how much is included they can
destroy a great vessel, immoliate a town or even
a whole city. Limited use due to superweapon
rule
- Very Rare
Specialist Support
Krokul- Survivalist denizens of Argus for over
25,000 years. They are masters of surviving in
terrible environments and underground
tunneling, making use of shamanistic magic to
help. Some of them were driven insane by the
Void, but were cured of such madness, retaining
the knowledge of the Void. These Void-purged
Krokul are powerful shadow spellcasters.
- Numbers: Rare
Valkyra – Warrior –women of the Vyrkul who
have been blessed by Odyn with control of the
Light. They can cast extremely strong protection
spells(enough to fend off Legion bombardment
for a time) , light based attacks and resurrect the
fallen. The ability to resurrect someone is
extremely draining however as the Valkyra has
to defy the realm of the dead to put a mortal
soul back in its shell.
- Numbers- Very Rare
Fairie Dragons – Small, dog sized dragon-like
creatures that roam the Emerald Dream. Fairie
Dragons are renowned for their ability to
manipulative magic in all forms- absorbing it,
redirecting it, even nullifying it completely! Alone
they are worth little however together they seem
to have a powerful effect on the battlefield, as
their powers seem to increase as more and
more of them get together. In that case opposing
magic users must be wary of these little
creatures, for a horde of them can reak terrible
havoc. It was in this manner the Night Elves
countered magic users prior to the
reincorporation of the druids and later Highborne
into their armies.
- Numbers: Rare
Ghosts of Azsuna – Full province worth of
ghost Elves that were magically cursed 10,000
years ago. Many are armed with ghostly
longbows or swords. Though not all ghosts are
combat specialists Azsuna was once home to a
noted mage academy, and thus many of its
citizens have magical capabilities. This is in
addition to the palace guard and garrisoned
troops. However, as a weakness, not everyone
in Azsuna has taken to undeath so easily.
Some seem to be stuck to the day that they
died, being constantly unable to learn new
information. Others go insane or even forget that
they are ghosts, such as one elder that
wandered off and got caught under an
underwater log for ten thousand years (and
apparently never realized that he was ethereal).
- Numbers: Total “Ghost Elven’
population around 10,000. Military
applicable force probably a couple
thousand.
The Coliskar – Sea going Naga-snakemen-
who sided with Illidan. They wield sea spells,
such as the ability to cast cyclones or crushing,
and count as an amphibious force. Their military
is split by gender with women as spell casters
while armored men wield great weapons in
combat. They have a number of slave species
ranging from hydra, to car sized dragon turtles to
hobbit sized murlocs.
- Numbers: Rare
The Ashtongue Tribe – A Tribe of Broken
Draenei known for their shamanism and extreme
stealth. In the events of Warcraft Frozen Throne
the tribe allied with the Illidari as Illidan sought to
drive the Legion from Outland and become its
lord. The Broken helped him close the
dimensional gateways that allowed the Legion to
pour in unlimited reinforcements . They proved
extremely instrumental in the Battle of the Black
Temple, where the Ashtongue used their
incredible stealth to sneak in and disable the
Legion’s defenses. They wield scythe blades
and their mystics can use the spells of the
elements.
- Numbers: Uncommon
Shado-Pan – Elite Ninja Pandaren trained in
both the martial arts and stealth. They are
experts of trap setting, ambushes, explosives
and fighting, being the main military force on
Pandaria for 10,000 years. Make heavy use of
arcane magic (portals), marksmanship, healing
and more.
- Numbers: Few hundreds, total
Warlocks – Practioners of Fel who believe that
to you must fight fire with fire. They are demonic
experts who often forcefully control demons and
send them into battle. They can also unleash
volleys of demonic fire, curses designed to
weaken the vitality of the enemy, soul/life steal,
pain inducing spells and more. Each Warlock is
a summoner, and they can personally come into
battle with any demon detailed thus far. In
addition they might sue the Succubus, who take
the form of stunningly beautiful women and
delight in mental torment/domination spells, or
the Fel Hunter, a giant demonic dog that hunts
down enemy mages to suck out their vitality.
- Numbers: Rare
Shamans – Magic users who form packs with
the elements, allowing them to command their
energies into battle. Expect minor earthquakes,
giant balls of fire, waves etc- those kinds of
attacks. In addition to these ranged attacks they
often use magical totems to alter the battlefield
such as totems that prevent enemies from
moving or those that unleash electricity. They
can also excel as healers.
- Ascendants – Extraordinary Shamen
who can temporarily or permanently
turn themselves into a elemental of a
given element, greatly boosting their
power in that one field. Think demon
princes, but for elements.
- Numbers: Fairly uncommon, but
prevalent most of all among the Horde.
Druids – Nature tenders and growers that use
life energy. In addition to being able to
supernaturally grow or renew, they can
transform themselves into eagles, sea lions,
mighty bears or panthers. They can unleash the
wrath of the moon goddess, heal, direct nature
or the weather.
- Numbers: Fairly Uncommon, but quite
prevalent among the Night Elves.
Keeper of the Grove –Exceptionally strong
children of Cenarius, meaning centuars. They
are all master druids and are often the
instructors of mortal druids.
- Numbers: Very Rare
Mages- Masters of the arcane, capable of
utilizing a number of spells including polymorph
(turning enemies into sheep), portal creation,
teleportation, conjuring supplies out of thin air,
scrying, illusions, and more. For direct combat
they specialize in commanding the arcane, fire
or frost spells, each with their different
characteristics.
- Kirin Tor/Tirisguarde- The Kirin Tor are
the elite mage army of one of Azeroth’s
mightiest cities. Each and every soldier
has something magical in his or her
possession, whether it’s a blade, bow or
they are mages themselves. Meanwhile
the Tirisguare are an elite order of
Mages whose apprentices are said to be
akin to masters of lesser orders.
Spiritual and actual heir of an order who
has silently kept the world safe from
demons for thousands of years.
- Numbers: Fairly Uncommon, but
prevalent
Grimtotem- Deceitful and dark tribe of Tauren
that specializes in assassinations and
shamanistic magic.
- Numbers: Very Uncommon
Archerus: The Ebon Hold –The Flying base of
operations for Death Knights. Here is where the
leadership of the Knights of the Ebon Blade
often stays, where armament and the plague is
stored, and of course where massive Scourge
numbers are quickly transported. Recon
devices, mad scientist laboratories, flying
gargoyle roosts, stored siege equipment and
teleporters- with direct access to the ground- are
also carried.
- Numbers: 1
Rogues – Assassins, saboteurs, bandits, and
rogues. This is a catch all category for those
who fight dirty yet who are stealth operatives
that have proven necessary to achieve victory.
They make heavy use of poisons, supernatural
stealth, and cheating in combat
- Many rogue organizations exist such as
the Bloodsail Bucanners, the scourge of
the South Seas, the Defias Brotherhood,
the criminal empire of Westfall and the
Ravenholdt Manner, master assassins
of the Eastern Kingdoms. However the
most important is the Uncrowned, the
Rogue organization that unites all
neutral, Alliance and Horde rogue
organizations.
Priests – Spiritual Specialists who worship
utilize the light and shadow based on their
specializations. Some choose to focus solely on
the Light or Shadow however others use a
combination of both. The light allows them to
heal allies, exorcise demons, unleash blasts of
holy magic or protect allies. The shadow allows
them to sap enemy vitality, summon unholy
creatures of the Void, or unleash mental attacks,
including magically induced fear and mind
control.
- Fairly Uncommon but Prevalent
Demon Hunters – Anti- Demon specialists who
believe that in order to hunt the demon they
must become the demon. Armed with deadly
warglaives and all sorts of demonic powers,
these hunters can ‘eat’ the souls that they slay
to restore vitality, absorb the powers of fallen
demons or, even, turn into a durable demon
creature for a limited time. Thought of as crazy
by just about everyone else in the setting, but a
class that proves extremely potent against the
Burning Legion.
- Numbers: One of the rarest classes,
have total numbers somewhere in high
hundreds to low thousands.
Professions- Various engineers, miners,
alchemists etc that accompany the main armies.
They have access to all sorts of stronger than
steel metals, healing potions, beneficial herbs,
bombs, or magical items. Over time they can
interact with whatever neutral environment they
are in to further utilize any craft to be found in
their region.
- Numbers: Rare, mostly non-combat role
however many adventurers also
specialize in a profession or two.
Mechagnomes- The custodians and caretakers
of Ulduar. Specialize in making fine machinery,
battle tanks and other crazy devices. However
their primary role is upkeep and they can repair
damaged Titan-forged creatures (see Army of
Ulduar, Iron Golem, Valarjar). They can also
access the very comprehensive Titan databanks
wherever they go.
- Numbers: Very Rare
Adventurers – The most infamous of all
Warcraft units, adventurers are the canon name
for all the PC characters that tend to run around
everywhere. Drawn from all 12 classes and
equipped with all manner of legendary artifacts,
magical weapons and armor, these champions
are some of the most powerful characters in
Warcraft lore. They serve an incredibly diverse
amount of roles from combat support, logistical
support, saboteurs, champion hunters (hunt
down enemy leaders), organizers and even
commanders. All of them can be considered
incredibly experiences veterans with experience
across multiple worlds and enemies.
- Numbers: According to an interview
conducted by Alex Afrasiabi, the
creative director, they number in the
tens of thousands. And it is ambiguous
as to whether this statistic only includes
high level fighters or the new
adventurers too (new adventurers are
still worth their weight in regular
soldiers). Note this number is unique
and different from the subscriber
numbers, character numbers or even
the number of max level characters, so
it isn’t one of those.
Heroes & Leadership
Overall Commanders- Triumvirate
Khadghar- Extremely powerful mage who can
freeze small armies in time, unleash giant
beams of arcane energy 50 feet wide over
hundreds of meters and pick up a enemy tank
and deconstruct it in the air. He is an
experienced coalition commander who has led

success in all of them. Note: Though he is
labeled as blue he has declared himself neutral

capable of
farseeing and is
over 25,000 years
old! Velen is a
master of light
magic and a

Odyn- The Prime Designate, the leader of the
Titanic forces who conquered the Old God
Empire a whopping 125,000 years ago! Odyn is

hides behind walls of earth as her enemies
batter themselves to exhaustion before lowering
the walls to come out and crush.
Finally Thunderan likes to enjoy
chaos and will use his mastery of
the winds to carry sound and
spread mistrust among his
enemies before unleashing the
fury of the storms.

commander who men follow wherever he goes,
whether it is to the Broken Isles or Northrend.
Lieutenants
Akama-The new Lord of Outland. Unique
among Draenei, this broken is renowned for his
stealth abilities. When Illidan first conquered
Outland, it was in a large part due to Akama and
his Broken destroying Legion defenses from the
shadows.
Alonsous Faol – Legendary human priest who

has worked to unify all priests and then all
priests and paladins together under one holy
banner. Mr. Faol is a fantastic logistic

death. Magnar Icebreaker was a fearsome
Vyrkul king who successfully conquered
Nerubians, Highborne and defeated Helya when
alive, even surving the wrath of Deathwing. King
Ymiron is a Vyrkul champion and mighty fighter
who fought for the Lich King and Helya before
being forced, hatefully, to fight for Odyn. Lastly

succeeded in fighting off Fel corruption through
pure will (something few can do) and now leads
the Vyrkul on the Broken Isles.

the canon name for PC characters who lead
each of the twelve classes. All of them have
arisen to be influential individuals equipped with
some of the most powerful artifacts ever
witnessed in existence. In the event of a split
up, assuming the Alliance gets half and the
Horde gets half.
-The Slayer- The Immortal leader of the Illidari
who has canon respawn abilities. During Legion,
the Slayer fought through ultiple demonic
infested wordls to hunt down traitors to the
Illidari, assassinate key demons and to seize the
Sargerite keystone, a powerful magical artifact
capable of creating a planet sized portal. The
Slayer is equipped with either a blade forged
from an ancient race that permanently absorbs
the strength of all it slays or the Twinblades of
Kil’Jaden, who empowered the blades
permanently and whose strength the Slayer
borrows everytime s/he fights.
-The Grandmaster- Lord of the Monk order of
the Broken Temple. Over the course of Legion
the Grandmaster helped defend Pandaria from
multiple demonic invasions, defeated a mass
Legion poisoning plot, rescued captured monks
and created Stormbrew, a brew that has
extreme supernatural properties. In combat the
Grandmaster wields a pair of fist weapons that
contain a hurricane within them, a staff that
bestows supernatural agility, or a staff that the
last Pandaren Emperor used to cover all of
Pandaria in mists.
- The Shadowblade- Legendary Rogue and
leader of the Uncrowned. During his campaign
the Shadowblade infiltrated several of the most
fortified places on Azeroth, including capital
cities of factions on lockdown, stopped a Legion
plot to get the Horde and Alliance to fight,
disposed of undead doppelganger agents, and
assassinated multiple Legion assassins,
including one so potent that she had literally
conquered whole worlds through the shadows.
The Shadowblade wields the fangs of
Sargeras’s personal hound, a soulstealing pair
of cutlasses or the blade of said potent assassin,
which magically absorbed much of her skill to
transfer it to the new
wielder.
- The Deathlord –
Lord of the Death
Knight class order who
spent Legion recruiting
four mighty champions
to lead the armies of the dead. Eventually, the
Deathlord built a vast army including his or her
own assortment of dragons. The new Lich King
whispers in his ear, telepathically, and gives
advice. The Deathlord wields either the reforged
Frostmourne (sword of Arthas), a legion axe that
drains the life of any it hits or Apocalypse, a
weapon that had single handily brought entire
civilizations low.
-The Highlord- Lord of the Paladin order who
spent much of Legion unifying the various
paladin orders of Alliance and Horde. Towards
the end of the campaign, the Highlord led a vast
holy army to save the Conclave and unified with

adventurer spent much of Legion countering the
diverse magics employed by the Legion,
entrapping a powerful demon lord in a
unbreakable crystal or keeping the powerful
defenses of Dalaran running. In combat, this
mage wields staffs and blades that perfectly
embody frost, fire or arcane, and can achieve
spectacular feats in any of these subjects.
-The Arch-Priest- Lord of the Priests who,
during the course of Legion, unites all
priesthoods of Azeroth under one banner. Later
they defend the priest order hall against a
massive demon backed assault, while allied with
the Paladins. The Archi-Priest utilizes either a
healing fragment of one of the mightiest Naaru,
a powerful artifact capable of town level
destruction called “light’s Wrath’ or the
mysterious Blade of the Fallen Empire, which is
highly hinted to be a sentient
Old God forged into a blade.
- The Farseer- Lord Of the
Shamen and the individual
who successfully unified all
four elements in Legion. This
required the Shaman (or
woman) to achieve victories against many
demons or rogue elementals. In combat the
shaman can wield the legendary Doomhammer,
the fists of the lord of the skies or the mighty
scepter which allowed the Naga to control the
tides.
-Battlelord- Lord of the Valarjar and the lead
warrior in the Broken Isles. In the warrior’s
campaign, the Battlelord leads the Valarjar to
defend Ulduar from a massive dmonic assault
and launch a counter invasion of a key Legion
prison world. The Battlelord can wield artifacts
such as the impenetrable scale of Deathwing,
the legendary sword of the first human king,
- The Huntmaster- Lord of the Hunters, this
champion focused first on unifying all the
disparate groups of his planet. Then he was
deployed to counter the hounds of Hakkar the
Houndmaster, who had been breeding beasts
that were totally immune to magic and nearly
totally immune to physical damage too. The
Huntermast can wield a powerful Wild God
blessed Spear wielded by a legendary ancient
hero, a rifle that was once wielded by Thorem
and is infused with Lightning, or a supernatural
blow that turns every shot into one of impossible
accuracy.
- The ArchDruid- Champion of the druids who
free many of the Wild Gods during the events of
the Legion Invasion. Thanks to their efforts, the
Wild God Malorne was not corrupted by the
Nightmare. The Archdruid can wield either the
cfangs of Ashamane, the claws of Ursoc, the
magical branch of the first world tree or the
Scythe of Elune, which allows for powerful moon
backed spells.
- The Netherlord- Leader of the Warlocks, who
conquered and bound an entire small planet
worth of demons early on. Later, through study
of the fel, they would successfully bind powerful
demonic commanders to the cause. The
Warlock can wield a mighty scepter capable of
tearing holes into reality, a scythe that once
depopulated an entire planet or the sentient skull
of the teacher of Archimonde which can be used
to easily control powerful armies of demons.
Covert Ops
Taran Zhu- Lord of the Shado-Pan and the chief
defender of Pandaria. He has led victories
against the Yaungol, insect hordes of the
Mantid, the terrible Sha and the combined
Thunder King and Zandalari armies while
fighting all at once. Can be considered a
powerful stealth commander.
The Shadow Council- The leaders of the
Uncrowned. Jorach Ravenholdt is a master
assassin and leader of the largest assassin
organization in Azeroth. Fleet Master Tethys is
the pirate master of the South Seas who brutally
conquered all his competition. Taoshi is the
Shado-Pan’s most skilled agent and she has
successfully infiltrated the most heavily fortified
regions in Azeroth, such as a Stormwind on
lockdown and the Thunder- King’s Palace, with
ease. Finally while Vanessa Vancleif lacks the
fighting skills of her compatriots, she is a master
of poisons who can induce supernatural
hallucinations that kill (think Freddy Krueger)
Tactical & Strategic
Support
Wild Gods- Animal demigods that roam the
planet and can be mobilized in times of great
struggle. All of them have spirits bound to the
Emerald Dream and are effectively immortal,
though it would take years for them to come
back without ritual. These include
- Agamaggan, the Great Boar, a thirty
foot tall combatant that mowed down
thousands of demons in the War of the
Ancients and can fling the spines on his
back like a porcupine mixes with a
ballista.
- Ashamane, the legendary panther
assassin whose skill is responsible for
the death of uncounted Legion
commanders in the War of the Ancients
 and who once destroyed an army of
thousands of demons (at least) by
herself. At one point, the Legion became
so wary of her they began burning down
large sections of forest at the merest
rumor of her presence.
- Aviana, the Mother of Harpies, can
command all the creatures in the sky to
attack in vast swarms.
- Cenarius, the teacher of all druids, is a
master of druidic magic who can regrow
forests in seconds or in case whole
towns in grasping roots.
- Goldrinn, the wolf god, embodies
ferocity, savagery, and an unyielding
will. He slaughtered hundreds of
demons in rapid succession in the War
of the Ancients and those that carry his
blessing (including King Varian Wrynn)
never know fatigue.
- Malorne, the White Stag, is a immense
god deemed so powerful that he nearly
turned back the demons himself in a
major battle before Archimonde, the
third most powerful demon in existence,
stepped forward to duel. It was an
exhausting fight and though Archimonde
snapped the Stag’s neck, he was
ultimately forced to retreat.
- Tortolla, the Tortoise god, is a very
slow ancient but the only
one who survived the
demon wars intact after
slaying thousands. His
shell is so thick only a
very heavy sustained
artillery barrage could
hope to get through.
- Urscoc & Ursol, the bear
gods, wed shamanistic
magic and brutal close
combat together. Like
their compatriots,
thousands of demons
were slain by these two
before falling.
Keeper Remulos- Son of Cenarius who
organized the Cenarion circle in his father’s
absence. He played a major role in bringing
back the Wild God Malorne and in ultimately
defeating the corruption of the Nightmare.
Meryl Felstorm –One of the first humans ever
trained in the magic arts 3,200 years ago. When
he died he simply willed himself back to life. He
has continued to serve Azeroth since,
particularly when it came to demon hunting.
Hemet Nesingwary- Greatest hunter on all of
Azeroth who has hunted across multiple planets.
He will specialize in bringing down the big game
of the enemy.
The Stormstouts (Chen & Li-Li) – Legendary
adventurers and monks from the Wandering
Isles. In combat, each of them is worth hordes of
lesser troops. They are masters of creating
excellent brews to empower allies and Li Li is a
potent healer.
The Black Harvest- Group of six mighty
warlocks that constantly seek to acquire new
demonic secrets and master ever greater power.
Through their efforts more powerful demons
have been bound to their service, new spellcraft
has been utilized and new techniques
pioneered. All of them are former adventurers
who achieved great glory back in the day.
Lunara- Dyriad leader known for
her fearsome brutality towards
anything that harms the forest.
Dragon Aspects- Four of the
most powerful dragons on the
planet, three of whom are over
50,000 years old. Alexstraza, the
Dragon Queen, is the guardian of
life and a dragon a couple
hundred feet in size. She is a
master of life and flame magic.
Nordormu, the Keeper of Time,
can summon up whirlwind of
superheated sand or use time
magic to unleash all sorts of
havoc in battle. Ysera, the Dreamer, is a master
illusionist who can put enemies to sleep or force
them to see allies as maddening abominations.
Kalecgos, the youngest aspect, is a master of
arcane magic with the Blue Dragonflight.

Chromie- An agent of the Bronze Dragonflight

who is probably the most active dragon in the
affairs of mortals. She is known for her weird
chrono abilities which range from the standard
speeding or slowing down time, to summoning
past or future versions of adventurers to fight
alongside the current version.

Magni BronzeBeard- Known as The Speaker,

he is a powerful Dwarven warrior king made
entirely of tough diamond. He can also speak to
the Titan Azeroth and receive visions from her.

Reinforcement Rates: Low. While the

reinforcement rates of the Alliance/Horde are
higher, most of the races that fall under those
categories fight for one of those partisan factions
and relatively few opt for neutral sub-factions
(adventurers aside) . The Reinforcement rates
for the entirely non-alligned factions is smaller,
as most of those are bound to a single province.
There are three exceptions. The first is obviously
those units that can be created on campaign,
like minor undead and treants. The second are
demons, who are technically infinite in number
but their appearance is limited by those the
warlocks can control. The third is the
elementals, who number in their many millions
on Azeroth and likely greater numbers still in the
elemental realms.
