Six new combinations plus the Skyborne on both factions. Blizzard explains the Skyborne as Highborne rebels who fled to Skywall.

Blizzard's Skyborne post describes the shen'dorei: descendants of rebels who fled Eldre'Thalas after the War of the Ancients and found refuge in Skywall, their island anchored in the elemental plane by wind spirits. Zephras Isle is a self-contained 1–12 start where the Windshapers, the High Order and the Al'Aketh compete for control. Thousands of customization options, unique druid forms, voices and dances.

Forsaken Paladins start in Bandarion Keep in Tirisfal's Whispering Wood and earn a Retribution-themed epic mount at 60.
