Races and factions of Warcraft
The fantasy setting of the ''Warcraft'' series includes many fictional races and factions. Most of the primary protagonists of the series belong to either the Horde or the Alliance, however there are a variety of neutral races and factions, who are either friendly or hostile to both the Horde and the Alliance. All player characters belong to either the Horde or the Alliance, with a character's faction decided by its race. One exception is the pandaren, who can choose to become members of either faction.
By the time of ''Warcraft III'' the Horde and the Alliance both fight against the Burning Legion and the undead Scourge, who are the primary villains of ''Warcraft III'' and ''World of Warcraft''. By the time of ''World of Warcraft'', the Alliance and the Horde are not engaged in all out war any longer, however they still are hostile towards each other and skirmishes between the two sides occasionally erupt.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World of Warcraft information: Horde vs. Alliance )〕 With Garrosh Hellscream appointed as the new Warchief of the Horde in ''Cataclysm'', war has once more erupted between the two factions. This war plays a large role in the storyline of that expansion, and continues to do so in ''Mists of Pandaria''.
==The Alliance==
The Alliance has been present in some form in all ''Warcraft'' games. In all three real-time strategy games, the Alliance are the protagonists of their campaign, and are one of the two main protagonist factions in ''World of Warcraft''. They are also the primary antagonists of ''Warcraft'' and the orc campaigns in ''Warcraft II''. The Alliance began in ''Warcraft II'' when the human kingdoms and demihumans strategically united to fend off the conquering Horde. Thus they are enemies to the Horde. The Alliance has evolved over the course of the franchise, losing allies and gaining new members, but the Alliance has endured over the years. They are united to uphold their common noble ideals and are bound together by a sense of brotherhood forged by all the battles they've endured together. The major races of the Alliance are the humans, gnomes, dwarves, night elves, draenei, worgen, and the Tushui pandaren.
The Alliance is led by a military commander who coordinates the military actions of all the races in the Alliance. The title for this position depends on the rank of the individual (e.g., Anduin Lothar was a knight and his title was Supreme Allied Commander. Varian Wrynn is a king and his title is High King). This title may require an aspect of diplomacy or has strong political clout as the other leaders can choose not to commit their forces to the commander if they dislike the commander's leadership. Though how much forces and resources are contributed to the war effort is left to each individual leader's discretion, when the military commander issues a call to arms, all races of the Alliance are expected to contribute.
