The Shado-Pan The Shado-Pan are a small faction of pandaren warriors who dedicate their lives to the protection of Pandaria from the influence of the physical embodiments of negative emotions, the Sha. Since the mists shrouding the continent dissipated their job has become much harder due to the unleashing of the Sha upon Pandaria in nearly every area, promulgated in […]

Hand of the Prophet & Vol’jin’s Headhunters Welcome to Tanaan Jungle, or World Quests 1.0. After the introduction quests here, it’s time to start repping up so you can fly. Sadly, neither of these faction-related factions actually offer pets, but they do offer transmog, toys and a mount. The quest to fly will help you get around Warlords content though, […]

The Saberstalkers If you want to fly in Draenor, these are one of three factions you’re going to need to get to Revered. Of the three, in my opinion, they’re one of the most straightforward, just because it involves just ‘killing all the things,’ similar to the Sha’tari Defense and Laughing Skull. If you want to go slower, but still […]

Alliance Vanguard & Horde Expedition Alliance Vanguard and Horde Expedition In Wrath of the Lich King, when both Horde and Alliance forces moved upon the frosty continent of Northrend to fight the forces of the Lich King (among other things), adventurers found themselves working for two new factions: the Alliance Vanguard and the Horde Expedition. Each has a main base on both […]

Sha’tari Defense/Laughing Skull It’s two for one time at Repping with Leashes! Well, actually it’s Horde v Alliance again for Warlords content. Like I’ve mentioned before, Warlords loves the rep grind aspect and these two garrison Trading Post related reputations are no different. Now that we’re in Legion, not having a trading post, in my opinion, would be folly so if you […]

The Klaxxi The southwestern section of the land of Pandaria is dark and depressing, tainted by the Sha to such an extent that even the sky is affected by the black and white effects. These are the Dread Wastes, home to the mantid-like race of the Klaxxi. Players will encounter them sooner or later — unless they skip through Pandaria […]

Council of Exarchs After reviewing the starting faction Horde-side with the Frostwolf Orcs it’s only reasonable to now hop over the faction divide and take a look at the Council of Exarchs. Welcome, then, to the pristine version of Shadowmoon Valley! Unlike Horde-side, I was able to hop onto an alt who completed only Shadowmoon Valley, so this gives Horde players […]

Frostwolf Orcs My opinion of most of the Warlords factions is ‘welcome to the grind party.’ What’s fortunate about the Frostwolf Orcs is that they’re the Horde-side starter faction. You basically start questing for them the moment you step into Frostfire Ridge. Don’t worry, my Alliance friends, you have a mirror version of this faction with the Council of Exarchs, […]

Sons of Hodir The Sons of Oh Dear — *checks notes* — sorry, the Sons of Hodir are a faction of ice giants that live in the frozen landscape of the eastern Storm Peaks, in the settlement of Dun Niffelem. Players may first encounter them while questing for that nosy parker archaeologist Brann Bronzebeard. They will be hostile, but a […]

Steamwheedle Preservation Society This is probably one of my favorite factions of Warlords. One reason for that is that as a player you can pursue it with any character. ‘How?’ you may ask. Well, let’s cover the basics first. The first thing you want to do when pursuing this faction is simply quest in Nagrand (Draenor). Be sure you get […]
