The Alliance: Union of Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes and Elves
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
The Alliance is a great union of peoples who stand for honor, order and the Light. Under one banner unite the humans, dwarves, gnomes and night elves. In Vanilla an Alliance player defends Stormwind and battles the Horde on the battlegrounds.
Birth of the Union
The Alliance was born in the fires of the Second War, when the scattered human kingdoms realized they could not stop the Horde alone. To the humans of Lordaeron and Stormwind came the dwarves of Ironforge, the gnomes of Gnomeregan and the high elves — and so the Alliance of Lordaeron arose.
Peoples of the Alliance
In the Vanilla era the Alliance's core is four playable peoples, each with its own capital.
| People | Capital | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Humans | Stormwind | Paladins, faith |
| Dwarves | Ironforge | Riflemen, smiths |
| Gnomes | Gnomeregan | Engineers, tech |
| Night elves | Darnassus | Druids, mystery |
Ideals and Leaders
The Alliance rests on honor and law. The boy-king Anduin Wrynn rules Stormwind under regency; in truth the nobility runs the city, led by the mysterious Lady Prestor. The dwarves are ruled by King Magni Bronzebeard and the night elves by the priestess Tyrande Whisperwind.
The Alliance in Vanilla
In the Vanilla era the Alliance wars with the Horde in Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin and Alterac Valley, yet against the Scourge and the Old Gods it will make truce. Its heroes storm Molten Core and Ahn'Qiraj.
What Playing Alliance Offers
From a player's view the Alliance means access to the paladin, strong defensive abilities and cozy, well-crafted starting zones: Elwynn Forest, Dun Morogh and Teldrassil. The capitals are linked by a convenient network of roads and portals, and Stormwind's quest lines guide the player through classic tales of the Defias and betrayal at court. The Alliance aesthetic is chivalry, order and the Light. If you love the role of a defender standing between the dark and peaceful lands, the banner of the Lion is your choice.
Playing Alliance is a classic choice for newcomers: friendly starting zones, access to the paladin, and a rich Stormwind quest line.
