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.

History

The Windshapers descend from the first shen’dorei high elves gifted with elemental skysight by the wind spirits. The disappearance of those spirits leaves their descendants searching for the mentors who shaped their people’s path.

Culture

Preserving their way of life gives the Windshapers’ search its purpose. They seek answers about their missing elemental mentors and remain determined to see the wind spirits restored.

Origins and homeland

The Windshapers make their home within Skywall. A new generation leaves that home for Azeroth to investigate the fate of the wind spirits and protect the life their people have known.
