High Order Skyborne

World of Warcraft: Forever

The High Order is made up of the descendants of the ancient Highborne scholars of Eldre'Thalas. When the wind spirits disappeared from Zephras Isle, the High Order realized that the Skyborne's utter dependence upon their elemental patrons had left them dangerously vulnerable. A new generation of High Order has now been called upon to return to Azeroth to reclaim the arcane knowledge that they have lost, and use that power to ensure that the shen'dorei have the self-reliance to survive on their own.

History

The High Order descend from the ancient Highborne scholars of Eldre’Thalas. Their story changed when the disappearance of the wind spirits revealed how vulnerable the Skyborne had become through dependence on their elemental patrons.

Culture

The High Order seek to recover lost arcane knowledge as a path to greater self-reliance. A new generation carries that task, hoping to give the shen’dorei the means to survive without depending entirely on their former protectors.

Origins and homeland

Zephras Isle is central to the High Order’s account of the missing wind spirits. Their search for forgotten knowledge calls them back to Azeroth, connecting that journey with the scholarly heritage of Eldre’Thalas.
