Humans are one of two races which appear as playable in every game of the fictional Warcraft franchise, the other being the Orcs.

• In Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, the humans were one of two playable races. The human side comprised only human beings, and represented the good side in the game.
• Similarly, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (and its expansion, Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal), the humans were the good side. However, the "human" side of the game was composed of humans, elves, dwarves and gnomes.
• In Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne), the side is formally known as the Alliance of Lordaeron, and consists of humans, high elves, and dwarves.
• In World of Warcraft (and its expansion, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade), "human" represents just the race of human beings, on the side of the Alliance.

Overview

The humans of the Warcraft universe are a strong, industrious race with a dedication to order and unity. They prize hard work and discipline, value intelligence and perseverance, and are loathe to concede defeat no matter how overwhelming the odds. They are fairly technologically advanced when compared with many of the other races on Azeroth, but less so than the Gnomes and the Dwarves. Likewise, magic has become a vital part of their society with many mages and wizards coming from human families.

They are a sensitive religious race, devoted to the Holy Light, with priests, monks, and paladins forming a large part of their society and charitable organizations that have footholds in many of the Alliance's largest settlements. They were apparently the first race on Azeroth to champion the cause of the Light, and were the only race with paladins for most of the Warcraft saga, until the Dwarves were inducted into their ranks in World of Warcraft.

Their cities are well-planned and spacious, their homes are comfortable and tidy, and their buildings are precisely and expertly constructed. They are also a social and a happy people, seeking to enjoy life's simplest pleasures whenever possible. This natural sociality, combined with their penchant for order, has prompted them to establish societies, guilds, governments and militias wherever they have settled. Their most important and elaborate buildings are invariably meant to house social institutions, with monasteries, castles, cathedrals and townhalls serving as the central features of their various settlements. The Humans were also the founders of the Warcraft universe's Alliance, which would eventually include such disparate races as the Night Elves and the Draenei.

A proud and versatile race in Azeroth, the Humans once lived peacefully throughout the Eastern Kingdoms of the world of Azeroth, with major settlements in the nations of Azeroth and Lordaeron. This all changed the day the Orcish Horde was led by the Burning Legion through the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands, into Azeroth.

The First War

The First Great War (Warcraft: Orcs & Humans) ended tragically for mankind, with the assassination of King Llane and the razing of Stormwind Keep. At the end of the war, the humans of Azeroth were forced to retreat to the Great Sea and sail to the northern land of Lordaeron.

There, they formed the Alliance, which involved the seven human nations and the elves, dwarves and gnomes. However, they were pursued by the still corrupted and fierce Horde, and thus began the Second War (Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness).

The Second War

This war raged across the Eastern Kingdoms, from Lordaeron through Khaz Modan and finally back to Azeroth, where, despite betrayal by the human nation of Alterac, the humans were able to close the Dark Portal and kill or capture most of the remaining orcs.

In the fictional Warcraft universe, Archmage Khadgar was one of the most powerful wizards to have ever lived, and one of the greatest heroes of the Alliance. ...

In the next fifteen years (between the second and third wars), with the orcs in captivity and no common enemies, the Alliance splintered into disarray, with several of the nations and races breaking off completely. Thus, by the time of the Reign of Chaos (Warcraft III), the humans had descended into a bickering race ill-prepared for the coming conflict.

The Third War

Problems began to arise in the kingdom. A scourge of undead soon swept across Lordaeron, while the Orcish leader Thrall escaped from an internment camp with a band of Orcs. Swearing revenge against the undead Dreadlord Mal'ganis, Prince Arthas Menethil travelled to the far-northern continent of Northrend, where he was corrupted into an agent of the Scourge. Thus, he returned to Lordaeron, slew his father, King Terenas, and proceeded to destroy Lordaeron and the home of the High elves, Quel'thalas.

At the same time, while mankind was slowly being destroyed, Arthas' former lover Jaina Proudmoore took a band of humans, elves and dwarves across the sea to Kalimdor, at the request of a mysterious prophet. There, she led the survivors of Lordaeron into a historic alliance with the Orcish Horde and Night Elf Sentinels, and to victory against the Undead Scourge and Burning Legion.

The Aftermath

In World of Warcraft, mankind has nearly ceased to exist in the kingdom of Lordaeron; but Jaina's colony on Theramore Isle is home to many of the survivors of Lordaeron, and some minor towns are still intact (though in constant peril). The southern kingdom of Stormwind remained largely untouched during the Third War and has rebuilt its strength. The Kirin Tor of Dalaran, after suffering grievously at the hands of the Burning Legion and the Scourge, have retreated behind the magical shield they erected around the ruined city of Dalaran as they work to rebuild. The zealous, independent fighters of the Scarlet Crusade relentlessly combat the Undead in the Plaguelands from the strongholds of Hearthglen and Tyr's Hand. Kul Tiras remains loyal to the Alliance, but its strength has waned following the death of Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, Jaina's father. The people of Stromgarde, again part of the Alliance, have seen their capital lost and currently fight against Ogres and the Syndicate to regain it. And Gilneas has sealed itself off from the rest of the world, closing the gates of the Greymane Wall and refusing entry or exit to anyone and anything.

Human nations

The fallen nation of Lordaeron's emblem.

Throughout the history of the Humans many nations have risen and fallen, however during the Second Great War the human kingdoms consisted of seven nations, and in the game, each had a different color. In Warcraft III, the nations are more loosely defined, but are mostly the same.

• Azeroth - (blue) One of the key members of the Alliance, and the original combatants of the First War. Their capital city, Stormwind City is nestled in the verdant Elwynn Forest. At the end of the Third War, it was one of the last real bastions of human strength in the world. Retroactively, the kingdom of Azeroth has been identified by its capital city (Thus "Kingdom of Stormwind), to differentiate it from the planet and continent, both also named Azeroth.

Past rulers: King Wrynn, King Llane, Lord Anduin Lothar, King Varien Wrynn, King Anduin Wrynn.

• Lordaeron - (white) The head of the Alliance during the Second War, and the largest nation. Human existance in Lordaeron was almost completely wiped out during the Third War (Warcraft III). Much of the land known as Lordaeron is now property of The Forsaken (undead). The Forsaken's holdings consist of the once-verdant Tirisfal Glades, Silverpine Forest, and certain regions in the Hillsbrad Foothills.

Past rulers: King Terenas, King Arthas Menethil, Balnazzar, Lady Sylvanas Windrunner.

• Stromgarde - (red) A small but strong military nation, once the heart of the ancient Human Empire of Arathor. Most of its citizens left with Jaina Proudmoore. Now members of the Syndicate and Ogres have seized parts of the capital city, situated in the Arathi Highlands foothills.

Past rulers: Thoras Trollbane, Galen Trollbane.

• Kul Tiras (green) - A seafaring nation that contributed to the naval forces of the Alliance during the Second War. During the aftermath of the Third War, Kul Tiras led an unsuccessful attack against the new Horde in Durotar, which saw the death of Admiral Proudmoore. Kul Tiras still maintains a weak presence in Tiragarde Keep in eastern Durotar. Other members of the Kul Tiras Navy went to live with Jaina Proudmoore on Theramore Isle.

Past rulers: Admiral Proudmoore, Tandred Proudmoore.

• Gilneas (black) - A distant nation which has never fully supported the Alliance. It is on a peninsula located to the south of Silverpine Forest of Lordaeron. The reclusive people are separated from the forest by the Greymane Wall for reasons that are still being debated.

Past rulers: Genn Greymane.

• Dalaran (purple) - A city-state of mages, led from the Violet Citadel in the center of the city. Dalaran was the first nation to be attacked and completely destroyed when the Burning Legion arrived during the Third War, due to the mageocracy being the only group that could initially pose a threat to the Burning Legion. In World of Warcraft, the ruins of the city are encased in an impenetrable magical shell as its people work to rebuild. Dalaran magi have been active in Silverpine Forest.

Past rulers: The Kirin Tor.

• Alterac (orange) - The weakest of the human nations, Alterac made a pact with the orcs during the Second War, and betrayed the Alliance. As a result of this, it was wiped out by Lordaeron forces. Today, the Ruins of Alterac are all that remain of this ancient kingdom.

Past rulers: Lord Aliden Perenolde.

• Theramore (white) - This island city and its surrounding territory are the center of the only major human presence in Kalimdor and the new home of the Alliance. Theramore is home to the humans, elves, and dwarves who fled the invasions of Lordaeron by the Undead Scourge and the Burning Legion. It was founded soon after the end of the Third War and is the youngest of the human kingdoms.

Past rulers: Jaina Proudmoore.

Human Morality in the Warcraft Universe

Humans began as the "good guys" of the Warcraft saga, thrown into battle time and time again with the savage orcs in the first two games. They were portrayed as the more moral, more sympathetic, and more civilized of the two factions, trying their best to defend their world and their people from an invading force bent on their total destruction. Male and Female Orcs as seen in the World of Warcraft. ...

Moral Ambiguity

However, in Warcraft III the race's distinction as the "noble humans" blurred. Two new races, with their own philosophies, religions and agendas, were introduced: the Night Elves and the Undead. The game began with a practice campaign in which the player was introduced to the game's mechanics and premise by taking on the role of the now-sympathetic Orcs, carrying out raids on human settlements to free enslaved Trolls, Ogres and Orcs. The first full campaign in the game involved commanding the Human forces, but required the player to commit increasingly questionable acts and a protagonist whose true motivations and loyalties grew increasingly suspect. Indeed, the transition from the Human campaign to the Undead campaign involved little change in the dramatis personae on stage, and the Humans would later serve as opponents for player-controlled Undead, Night Elf and Orc forces. ÔNight Elves are a fictional race of elves in Blizzard Entertainments Warcraft series of computer games. ... Undead box art for the release of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. ... In the military sciences, a military campaign encompasses related military operations, usually conducted by a defense or fighting force, directed at gaining a particular desired state of affairs, usually within geographical and temporal limitations. ...

Likewise, Human forces not under the player's control were often shown to be engaged in arguably ignoble acts. Prior to the events depicted in Warcraft III, for instance, some human nations were shown enslaving the orcs, rounding them up in internment camps, and forcing them to engage in gladitorial combat for human entertainment. It should be noted however that the Orcs had just launched attacks against the entire human race in an attempt to destroy it. In the expansion to Warcraft III, The Frozen Throne, human forces were shown attempting genocide against the Blood elves, though, again, that this was the action of an individual, and not the human race as a whole.

Debate in World of Warcraft

With the release of the MMORPG World of Warcraft, some fans (particularly those who played as Horde races) gradually came to think of the Humans as the "bad guys," citing the aforementioned acts and their continued fighting with the Orcs (who were now free from demonic corruption) and their allies in the Horde. They argue that while a great part of the orcs' misdeeds ostensibly came from being under demonic corruption, the humans actively and knowingly broke the truce that was formed after the different factions banded together to defeat the demons during the opening of the Dark Portal. World of Warcraft (commonly abbreviated as WoW) is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment and is the fourth game in the Warcraft series, excluding expansion packs and the cancelled Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Other players defend the actions of the Humans, arguing that the Horde brought much of the conflict on themselves, with many quests in the game involving attacks on otherwise inoffensive Humans, Night Elves, etc - many of whom were civilians or simply healing the lands in which they lived. Likewise, defenders of the Humans' moral stance point to the generations of conflict between the races in which the Humans were repeatedly attacked without provocation; to the atrocities committed by the Orcs in previous games; and to the fact that many of the Human leaders were unwittingly manipulated by demonic or Undead forces (much like the Orcs once had been) or were simply led by immoral individuals.

Introduction of the Draenei

The issue of the Humans' moral superiority was further muddied with the introduction of the Draenei as a playable race in the World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade. The Draenei themselves seemed to embody the virtues which the Human race had previously championed in earlier games. They too had Paladins and Priests and served the Naaru; likewise, they had been nearly wiped out by the Horde at once point. Unlike the humans however, Draenei may not play as Warlocks; the evil which the Draenei might have been capable of was attributed to the Eredar, the parent race from which they had split off. Thus the humans were left as both good and evil, while very little moral ambiguity or ambivalence was given to the Draenei. Draenei as seen in World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. ...
