The Alliance will get a taste of the story showing why the Nightborne allied with the Horde.

Zandalari Druid Models will have their own form, and travel form is a raptor.

The Kul Tiran big burly humans are 100% new models--they are not re-rigged humans.

Edit: The video is now up!Who fired first?Q: When did Manduin develop this battle prowess?Q: Why those 6 allied races? Why did Thalyssra ally with Horde? Will Alliance see that story unfolding? Do the Lightforged look down on the Faction war after fighting such a big battle? Anduin and Light versus Alleria with Void?Were the Zandalari the most challenging because it doesn’t use another model like the other 5 allied races?

Example: Lightforged beards on normal draenei?Updates on Goblin/Worgen?What is their favorite zone aesthetic/color palette that differs from Legion?Q: What is the relationship between Jaina and her mother? Would the Kul Tirans welcome her?Kul Tiran vs Tirasian: Q: History of Kul Tiras with Alliance in recent years?Q: With pirates as a threat will Bloodsail and Duke Falrevere appear: Q: Where’s Dalaran and Khadgar?Battle for Azeroth at BlizzCon 201

Comment by ThorwenThe last one made me laugh so much, freakin father Khadgar. 😂Comment by kleman96A: Khadgar will be sent off soon(tm) and can do his awful dad puns and jokes until we need him again.

LOL, gonna miss him though.Comment by LeicerionKhadgar need to go and do some housekeeping, I've been to Kara recently and must repairing in needed.Comment by AnotherSheepEventhough I have no idea about the Horde getting the Nightborne, I think it's only a thing so that Alliance gets the Belf playable character model & Horde the Nelf's. I can only see that reason and feel like it's silly, maybe the quest to get 'm will change my mind.Comment by Unknown831Tonight i dreamt of Murloc new race. I was paying the change class for 10 characters.Comment by LeicerionI think it is because the Nightborne and Blood Elves feel a kinship with their paralleled addictions. Also Tyrande didn't pitch as much resources as Lady Liadrin did.Comment by FairelmaineEventhough I have no idea about the Horde getting the Nightborne, I think it's only a thing so that Alliance gets the Belf playable character model & Horde the Nelf's. I can only see that reason and feel like it's silly, maybe the quest to get 'm will change my mind.Comment by HASHMAXstraight trolls will cool!Comment by bass679Eventhough I have no idea about the Horde getting the Nightborne, I think it's only a thing so that Alliance gets the Belf playable character model & Horde the Nelf's. I can only see that reason and feel like it's silly, maybe the quest to get 'm will change my mind.Comment by MaljinwoZandalari > All
