Hello GD! I am sick with the flu, so in my nyquil haze, I wanted to share some AR ideas/theorycrafting my friends and I have been doing the past few months on Shadowlands! Feel free to add/comment/critique as you see fit! Please keep it civil, fun, and lighthearted! 
*Note that there WILL be some spoilers from the Afterlives and some general Shadowlands knowledge
The Races
Bastion - Kyrian Aspirant
This race would be from the blue-skinned humanlike people from Bastion. The aspirants are those, like Uther in afterlives, waiting to ascend. They would most likely have your typical loadout of “light” races; e.g. paladin, priest, etc. I feel as though this would be a fun idea to play around with, and maybe even offering some ascended racials. For racials, we were thinking about maybe a flying version of running wild, increased shadow resist or light dmg, and potentially some cool silences or something along those lines. Overall, it’d be a “basic” race, sort of like Kul Tirans, but I think the added flavor of the angel could make for an interesting dynamic. Would join Alliance.
The Venthyr
Vampiric in nature, similar to nightborne and blood elves, and a fun race to play around with. Not much theorycrafting on these ones, would probably be horde. My thoughts for classes were the obvious mage/warlock kind of character. For racials I was thinking a passive leech with each attack, nothing crazy probably just 1% leech. Also could turn into bats, cuz haha vampires. Also heritage would be gothic victorian esque clothing, very regal and something similar to Worgen heritage.
Faun
Ardenweald embodied. Very much a druidic race. Extremely pure wholseome cinnamon rolls who serve the winter queen. I would love to see them playable, especially because their druidic nature could make for fun transformations! Alliance race, very similar to night elves. I think their racials would be turning into a tiny fae, nature dmg %, and maybe a self heal sort of like the touch of the n’aaru.
Liches
Now hear me out, I know this seems kinda crazy for a race. Human skeleton with bandages as options, a cool look, could be ancient egyptian in style. Maldraxxus has these guys in the zone and I think it would be easy to fit it into a player model. I know it’s sort of like the etherials, but I think overall it could work. Would be horde, obviously. I think their racials could be a phylactery soulstone, an increased overall movement speed, and increase to frost dmg.
So, let me know what you think! What would you want to see? Do you think Allied Races in Shadowlands are possible, or a pipedream? Comment below!
