Human

Species Type:

Mortal (Vrykul-descended)

Origin:

Originally created as Vrykul by the Titans, humans evolved from cursed Vrykul offspring who were spared and scattered across the Eastern Kingdoms. Their cultures diverged through war, trade, and isolation, forming the many kingdoms of the Arathorian legacy.

Affiliation:

Mostly Alliance; exceptions include neutral, mercenary, and cultist groups.

Once a scattered and tribal people, humans have risen to become one of Azeroth’s most widespread and influential mortal races. Known for their adaptability, ambition, and resilience, human kingdoms have shaped the political landscape of the Eastern Kingdoms—most notably Stormwind and Lordaeron. Despite suffering countless wars, plagues, and betrayals, humanity endures, often acting as both leaders and catalysts in Azeroth’s great conflicts. Their legacy is one of both triumph and tragedy, built on the ruins of forgotten empires.
