We don't know how they'll look yet, don't start gettin' all uppity.


Edit: Black, mind if I stick those pictures up on my own webspace, I wouldn't mind posting them on another website , but if that's something you're not allowed to spread around, then I won't. [Asking to put the picture up on my own webspace because stealing bandwidth is lame. D:]

Edit2: Dumb parenthasees.

It makes perfect sense. The blood elves were betrayed by the alliance, because alliance were douchebags, Dranei hate the orcs because of generations of war in the outlands.

While it seems somewhat probable that Draenei will be the Alliance race with all the rumors floating about the past several months, CGM was just printing that rumor according to their editor-in-chief. He stated that a couple weeks ago after these images were first linked.

It depends honestly. If some of the Warcraft II heroes survived over in The Outlands, there's no telling if they became tainted or not. They may have protected some of the Draenai from the explosion of Draenor, or were saved by Draenai themselves.

We may end up with a race that looks somewhat similar to orcs, but also more resembles humans, like a blend of the two.

Possibly something like what is seen in these two pictures (I'm pretty sure they aren't orcs. Not green enough for one thing, and look smaller than how most orcs are drawn).
This should be Artwork image 5 of 19 from the Burning Crusade website, if this link doesn't work, you know where to look for the picture I've attempted to link.
And this should be Artwork image 7 of 19.

And now I'm annoyed again. >:(

Blizzard needs to release what the freakin' Alliance race will be, dammit.

Once the outland is "opened" to the world, both factions will be seeking an ally that knows the area and has established bases. Blood elves are there and despise anything to do with the alliance (Play TFT for why, kek), so it's a natural horde choice.

Draenei would be approached by the alliance, saying stuff like "Kill the orcs, we'll help!".

Or maybe I just wanns slaughter Draenei in PvP..

What are you talking about "we don't know what Draenei look like?"

They're in the game.

They're in Warcraft 3.

All the Draenei currently in game and in War3 were corrupted by their planet ripping itself apart. If there are any Draenei that weren't corrupted by Draenor's destruction, then they'd look very different from the ones people have seen. It has been stated that the Alliance race's lore would bend the current lore quite a bit, and wouldn't be expected.

Many people suspect that Draenei will be the new Alliance race, but if the race didn't look like what we've seen in the game world so far, then it'd throw everyone off, and be unexpected. That, and finding out that some Draenei did manage to escape the damage that the exploding planet caused to the rest of their race would bend the lore a good deal.

It's just speculation that some friends of mine on Dark Iron and I came up with however. It doesn't make sense to put the corrupted Draenei on the side of the Alliance, as humans and such wouldn't want to deal with such hideous creatures.

Edits: I keep mis-spelling Draenei. :/

More edits: The best example I can think of for an uncorrupt draenei is Garona but she's only half draenei.

Must admit the two scenic arts Willias posted look like a place in the world that wasn't affected in the same way the rest was when the planet was sundered, while the land is certainly changed (Floating islands, woo) it is lush and verdant as if something was down to partially protect it from the forces that rendered the rest of the world corrupted and barren.

I could easily see something happening about someone having taken steps to build protection against the destruction that tore the planet apart and those Draenei within it were protected from the corruption.

Someone else would've done it if I hadn't. It was a two week old scan that had already been posted in plenty of places.
