Allied races are a new concept introduced with Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Battle for Azeroth, sometimes called "sub races", that allow players to play new races that are mechanically very similar to their parent races, but have additional separate lore and have an initial lore and quest campaign to complete before they are fully unlocked.

Allied races start at level 20; once unlocked, the race is unlocked across the player's entire account. Though players may elect to race change to an allied race and/or level boost (only after unlocking the race), playing from 20 to max level will unlock a set of race-specific cosmetic gear (Heritage Armor). This gear is not able to be transmogrified outside the allied race it belongs to, but can be transmogged between armor types.

Each race comes with unique racial abilities, mounts, emotes, and customization options.

Though there were six allied races announced before the launch of Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard stated at BlizzCon 2017 they do intend to add more. As of Patch 7.3.5, the unlock experience for four of the allied races (two for each faction) was made available for those player who pre-oreded the expansion. Closer to expansion launch, two more allied races (Kul Tiran humans and Mag'har orcs) were announced.
