The Alliance in World of Warcraft is one of the two major factions in Azeroth, defined by its emphasis on honor, justice, and unity among its member races. Originally forged during the First and Second Wars to combat the orcish Horde, the Alliance has since grown into a coalition of diverse peoples bound by shared values and the need for mutual protection. Its core races include humans, dwarves, night elves, gnomes, draenei, and worgen, with other allied races such as void elves, lightforged draenei, and mechagnomes joining in later expansions. Despite cultural and historical differences, these groups cooperate under a banner of order and defense, with the human kingdom of Stormwind often acting as the central political and military power.
At its heart, the Alliance represents ideals of tradition, faith, and structured governance, with a focus on maintaining civilization and resisting threats to peace. However, this unity is not without tension—member races sometimes clash in their priorities, and their loyalty is tested in times of war. The Alliance is often depicted as the “light” counterpart to the Horde’s more survivalist ethos, though it is not without its flaws, such as arrogance, inflexibility, or overreliance on hierarchy. Ultimately, the Alliance stands as a bastion of cooperation among Azeroth’s more orderly nations, striving to defend the world from both external forces like the Burning Legion and the Scourge, as well as their age-old rivals in the Horde.
