A '''Follower''' is an [[NPC]] exclusive to the {{wl-inline}} [[Garrison]] or {{l-inline}} [[Order Hall]] system who may be assigned to work at a specific [[Garrison building|building]], can perform tasks for a [[player character]] such as limited [[profession]] gathering/crafting, or go on [[mission]]s. Many followers are available to both factions ({{both}}), but there are also several followers who are faction-specific.<ref name="warlordswowheadFollowers">{{ref web|work=Wowhead|url=http://www.wowhead.com/followers|title=Followers|accessdate=23-Nov-2014}}</ref> In {{Legion-inline}} Legion, followers are far mor [[class]]-specific.

Players with Taverns or Inns earn one extra follower each week by speaking to {{NPC|Horde|Akjana}} at {{Buildinglink|icon=|Frostwall Tavern}} (Horde) or {{NPC|Alliance|Lysa Serion}} at {{Buildinglink|icon=|Lunarfall Inn}} (Alliance). To get the extra follower, speak to Akjana or Lysa, and select an attribute you want your follower to have. You'll be given the option to select among three random followers of random rarity with that attribute. Once you select an attribute, you can't change your mind until the following week.
