(( This idea is reletively new, and the lore needs some more time to boil in my twisted mind, but I've got the basics down. ))
Lore:
During the Nexus War and the death of the Blue Wyrm Malygos - Aspect of Magic - that followed, the Blue Dragonflight was thrown into chaos. And in that chaos, some races that it had once kept from entering Azeroth, snuck into the world. Among these were the Manablade ethereals, led by the Nexus Prince Yasir.
Upon reaching Azeroth, they found a world covered by life and creatures of flesh. But they also found riches beyond their wildest dreams. Excavating and keeping them would be a perrilous task though, but, with that in mind, Yasir ordered that a portal be created deep within the Stonetalon peaks that would connect Azeroth with their capital: the holographic but very real city of Saharafis.
It soon became clear, though, that Azeroth was more dangerous then they had anticipated. Many a Manablade excavator and treasure-hunter lost their lives searching and transporting the precious wealth of Azeroth back to the ethereals home. Even so, Yasir was not about to simply forsake the planatary goldmine.
He sent emissaries to the leaders of both the Alliance and Horde. Garrosh - viewing the ethereals as little more then air - returned their wrappings to Yasir in a box. Varian, though, saw value in them. As the etheral's technology was on par with the gnomes - exceeding it in some cases - he saw that it might give him an advantage against the barbaians that made up the Horde.
The emissaries returned to Yasir with the king's offer: aid the Alliance against the Horde, and recive the Alliance's aid. Caring little for the politics of the two factions, but still enthralled by Azeroth's wealth, Yasir agreed.
As one of the Manablade, you are to seek out the wealth of the world, and make sure the Alliance upholds it end of their deal...
Classes: Rogue, Warrior, Hunter, Priest, Mage, Paladin, Death Knight,
ArcanistClass Reasons:
Warrior - Besides that every race has one, they
clearly have combat capabilities.
Preist -
This, those look Priest abilities to me.
Mage - They're made of mana, practically, and they have
mages... meh, nevermind. It's impossible.
Hunter - Laying down mechanical traps, using whatever assets they can get, mastering the wildlife, and being efficient with ranged weapons all in the name of profit. This one was a no-brainer.
Rogue -
This.
Paladin - This one is iffy, but maybe some Ethereals heard the call of the light seeing how close in proximity they are to the Sha'tar? Also, they're basically made of photons light-- they're shiny lights bound by wrappings.
Death Knight - Well, if there are Worgen Death Knights. For a more based idea: the Scourge captured some ethereals and used necromantic energy to corrupted them into death knights. Similer to how some ethereals inject void into themselves to become void.
