Summary

Understand the Alliance and Horde factions in World of Warcraft: Midnight, including races like Humans, Night Elves, Orcs, and Trolls.

The primary factions in World of Warcraft: Midnight are the Alliance, consisting of Humans, Night Elves, Dwarves, Gnomes, and Draenei, and the Horde, comprising Orcs, Forsaken, Tauren, Trolls, and Blood Elves. While often depicted as good versus bad, Tauren and Forsaken may not be entirely evil, and the Horde as a whole might not be purely evil.

The distinction between good and evil is more pronounced in PvP realms (player vs player) than in PvE realms (player versus environment). Your faction choice primarily affects the aesthetics and the types of other players you encounter, as questlines are largely similar for both factions until approximately level 30, when the entire world opens up and quests are found in the same areas for both sides.
