World of Warcraft: Forever · Alliance race

Night Elf

Ten thousand years ago, the night elves founded a vast empire, but their reckless use of primal magic brought them to ruin. In grief, they withdrew to the forests and remained isolated there until the return of their ancient enemy, the Burning Legion. With no other choice, the night elves emerged at last from their seclusion to fight for their place in the new world.

5 racial abilities in Forever, and 1 Classic Era racial the Forever beta does not have. Each is shown with its Classic Era version where one exists.
