Although only five playable alliance factions are present in World of Warcraft and its expansion, the Alliance encompasses a number of more factions or nations in the Warcraft universe. Many of them are represented by NPCs in World of Warcraft who are friendly to alliance players and hostile to horde players. They include the besieged nation of Stromgarde, the island nation of Kul Tiras, the children of Cenarius, the Kirin Tor, and the remaining human settlements of Lordaeron. There are at least two factions that had historical ties with the Alliance and are still hostile the Horde, but are not part of the current alliance. They are the Wildhammer Dwarves and the nation of Gilneas. The remaining High Elves are allied with the Alliance in World of Warcraft, and are repulsed by their Blood Elf brethren who joined the Horde in Burning Crusade.

History

After the events of the First Great War, Lord Lothar from the nation of Azeroth met with King Terenas of Lordaeron, together they united all the Human kingdoms with the Dwarven nation of Khaz Modan, the High Elves of Quel'Thalas, and the Gnomes of Gnomeregan in order to defend themselves against the Horde, which had destroyed the nation of Azeroth and left its people homeless.

The first Alliance.

All nations joined with conviction besides Alterac and Gilneas. Gilneas was one of the smallest nations at the time, but their King, Greymane, didn't want to lose control of his own forces to the Alliance High Command and he felt that the nation could defend its own borders from impending invasion, as Lordaeron already effectively shielded it from Horde attack. However, he shortly afterwards hesitantly joined the Alliance out of necessity to ensure Gilneas' survival, realising if the Alliance fell Gilneas would be unable to stand alone against the Horde and thrust its support into the war effort. The weakest nation, Alterac, little more than a city state high in the mountains of middle-Lordaeron, officially joined the Alliance but secretly had formed a partnership with the Horde, and started trading valuable tactical information with the warlocks of the Stormreaver Clan. The Alliance found out this duplicity after Alterac soldiers had started a riot in Tyr's Hand and had attempted as assassinate the first paladin, Uther the Lightbringer. King Terenas was furious at this treachery and sent his forces to destroy the nation of Alterac. The city was razed, its lords stripped of their lands, and the populace dispersed. Today the city is in ruins and is currently occupied by Ogres, the nation of Alterac is no more. Image File history File links Alliance-first-formed-warcraft-ii. ...

The Alliance coat of arms — a combination of the racial crests of its members (the hammer, the eagles and the shield, the cog and the arrows representing dwarves, humans, gnomes and night elves respectively) — as seen in the World of Warcraft.

However, after the events of the Third Great War, contact was made with the Night Elves from Kalimdor, who have joined the Alliance as well. Many of the surviving High Elves, their kingdom destroyed, had begun to use warlock magic because of the loss of their Sunwell. They became known as Blood Elves, and have joined the ranks of the Horde to sustain their need for a source of magical power. They have become a playable race for the Horde in the newest World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade. Although within the Warcraft lore, the total Alliance strength is considerably larger than the Horde, the Alliance is decentralized and without a strong leader such as Thrall; therefore, the effective strength of both sides is about the same.

New race in The Burning Crusade

Much speculation surrounded the new Alliance race to be introduced in The Burning Crusade, with rumored choices including the Draenei, Centaurs, and Dark Trolls. Even the remaining High Elves were mentioned as a possibility. However, on May 10, 2006, Blizzard announced at E3 that the Draenei would be the new Alliance race in the upcoming expansion. In an interview with Gamespot.com^{[citation needed]}, it was revealed that Blizzard chose the Draenei not only for their connection to the Blood Elves and desire to visit Outland, but also because the Alliance lacked a "large" species like the Tauren, and the typical male Draenei is about the same size as a male Tauren.

The Draenei are uncorrupted (as opposed to those led by Akama, as seen in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne), worship the Holy Light, and are also highly intelligent. Fleeing the shattered realm of Outland after learning of their brothers' corruption, the Draenei (who travel in an interdimensional ship) crashed in Azeroth on the Azuremyst Isles, northwest of Kalimdor. Azuremyst is the Draenei starting area, and they also have a "Secondary Area" for levels 10-20, which has been named the Bloodmyst Isle.

The Current Alliance

Like the Horde, the Alliance is striving to rebuild their own societies. The Humans, Dwarves and Night Elves strive to protect their last great cities of Stormwind, Ironforge, and Darnassus from any who seek to destroy them. The Gnomes assist their old allies any way they can while at the same time, they continue to strategize plans in attempts to reclaim their once great city of Gnomeregan. The Dwarves, formerly miners, have recently become dedicated to archaeology in the hopes of discovering more about their long lost heritage. The Draenei, chased away from their lands by the Burning Legion, have crash landed on the Azuremyst Isles, where they now live and are now determined to protect. The Alliance, although at a truce with the Horde, have been in dispute all over Azeroth, each side doing what they feel is best for their own people. At the same time, both sides are at war with the Scourge in an attempt to bring peace to Azeroth and protect it from the evil and corruption that once filled it. Also, Alliance is UBER gay.
