Blizzard’s Forever introduction describes humans as highly versatile, quick to master combat, craft and magic. Their valour and optimism built some of the world’s greatest kingdoms.
In long-standing lore, the kingdom of Stormwind is the heart of human strength in the Alliance: a city of busy districts and great monuments to the heroes who defended it.
Blizzard’s 2020 Classic introduction calls humans resilient, a people who have endured despite the many challenges set against them. That endurance is the thread through their story.

Blizzard’s 22 September article lists Human Hunters among Forever’s new race and class combinations. A human can now take up the bow and a tamed companion.
The announcement does not describe how human hunters begin, where they train, or which companion they first tame. We have not verified those details and do not guess at them.
