[[Blood elf (playable)|Blood elves]] and [[Draenei (playable)|Draenei]] are the first two new playable races introduced since the original World of Warcraft release. Along with more [[lore]] adjustments than some lore hawks would like, in ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'', the blood elves arise from the [[high elves]] and the draenei from the previously thought to be evil, [[eredar]]. The blood elves decided to join the [[Horde]] to fight common enemies (demons) and for their help getting to Outland. The draenei were befriended by the nearby night elves and joined the [[Alliance]].
