Starting November 15, players will be able to make dracthyr Evokers–the new draconic-themed race and hero class. These warriors will awaken on the Forbidden Reach and play through their unique starting experience as they catch up on what they missed over the last 20,000 years in stasis. Players interested in learning more about the dracthyr shouldwatch theDragonflightLegacies animated shorts, which feature Scalecommander Emberthal, a major character they will meet on the Forbidden Reach.
Players will also be able to participate in the limited-timePrimal Storms world event inWorld of Warcraft.
