What Blizzard says

• "The Windshapers are the descendants of the first shen’dorei high elves to receive the wind spirits’ gift of elemental skysight. A new generation of Windshapers is called to Azeroth from their home within Skywall to solve the mystery of what became of their missing elemental mentors and will stop at nothing to see the wind spirits restored and their way of life preserved." (WoW: Forever Meet the New Skyborne, 2026-09-22)
• "The Skyborne are a new playable race in World of Warcraft: Forever, bringing their own identity to the unfolding story. When choosing to play this new race, players can choose between Horde-aligned Windshapers which can become Shaman, or an Alliance-aligned High-Order Skyborne which can become Mages." (Create the Hero You Want to Be in World of Warcraft: Forever, 2026-09-22)
• "Several groups are vying for control of Zephras Isle as the crisis deepens, including the Windshapers, the High Order, and the Al’Aketh. Together, they help shape Zephras as an unexpected addition that still fits within the larger fabric of WoW: Forever." (World of Warcraft: Forever Found Photos Panel Recap, 2026-09-13)
