High Order Skyborne in WoW Forever

Alliance Skyborne, descendants of Highborne scholars of Eldre'Thalas in Blizzard's telling. They start on Zephras Isle. Mage is the class this faction line adds. Shaman is not on their row.

Researched 6 November 2026. Combination facts come from Blizzard’s hero article. Racial numbers are printed only when a source states them, and disagreements are left in place.

Leveling implications that are sourced

Blizzard text Home and starting zone: Zephras Isle, levels 1–12. Alliance-aligned Skyborne pursue the arcane legacy and can be mages. Warriors, hunters, rogues, and druids are shared with the Horde line.

Blizzard text The same pack note as the Windshapers: Blizzard says the Heroic Pack or a higher upgrade includes the race and the starting experience. The pre-launch Wowhead line about visiting the island without the pack is only a database report.

Blizzard text Read Ley Line, as Blizzard published it, is a regeneration tool. The database guide describes a shorter base effect plus an attunement at a ley line. Both wordings are printed below. Neither has been checked in the client for this atlas.

Racial abilities

Walk on Air (active)

Blizzard text Glide downward through the air for 10 seconds.

Sources disagree Glide downward for 10 seconds while controlling direction. 1.5 minute cooldown.

Read Ley Line (active)

Blizzard text Activate a ley line to gain 100% increased health and mana regeneration.

Sources disagree Wowhead spells it Read Leyline. It increases health and mana regeneration by 50% for 15 seconds. Used at a ley line, it also grants Attuned for 1 hour and raises the bonus to 100% regeneration. Attuned persists through death, is removed on entering a raid, and the ability cannot be used while Innervate is active. The Blizzard article only states the 100% ley-line effect.

Wind Blessed (passive)

Blizzard text 1% increased melee, ranged, and spellcasting haste.

Sources disagree 2% increased melee, ranged, and spellcasting haste.

Elemental Insight (passive)

Blizzard text Damage to elementals increased by 5%.

Database report Damage to elementals increased by 5%.
