Uncorrupted Eredar who fled their homeworld

Type: Humanoid

Size: Medium

Movement: 30 ft.

Thousands of years ago, the titan Sargeras shattered the tranquility of Argus by offering the Eredar immeasurable knowledge and power. The Eredar were a knowledge-seeking race and accepted his offer. He bathed them in his fel might, turning them into demonic beings of the burning legion called Man’ari. The prophet Velen got a troubling vision of what his race would become, and fled Argus with his followers by the help of the divine Naaru, who renamed them Draenei, or “Exiled Ones” in the common tongue.

The Draenei refer to their corrupted brethren as Man’ari, meaning “Unnatural Being”. Although both originate from the Eredar race, neither the Draenei or Man’ari consider themselves Eredars anymore.

During the Draenei’s journey, the enigmatic Naaru race taught them the ways of the light, though they already had a certain experience with it through Velen and T’uure. The Naaru explained that there were other forces in the cosmos that would stand against the Burning Legion. The Naaru bestowed a blessing, the Gift of the Naaru, upon the Draenei to signify their new connection the light. Deeply affected by the Naaru’s words, the Draenei vowed to honor the light and uphold the Naaru’s ideals.
