Draenei, which means “exiled ones” in their own language, are locked in an eternal feud with the Burning Legion who made them flee their home so long ago. They are in touch with naaru, sentient energy beings that are the pure essence of the Light.
Their culture revolves around magic and the Holy Light of Creation and as such have a natural affinity towards becoming paladins, priests, and mages. Ornate armor and crystalline weapons are usually worn, which they look upon with the utmost respect.
Having been decimated in numbers before, they joined the Alliance and now help them in their unified cause. They honor their heritage and take pride in there names, and some of them are Anman, Thovan, Talaara, Marem, Valuelle, and Lunarii.
