Since it seems most of them prefer the Horde I was wondering which ones would prefer the Alliance and would be accepted by the Alliance?

The Furbolg already have good to excellent relations with the Night Elves, and believe the draenei are prophesied sky-gods.
Theyâd be perfect if they were ever involved in a scenario where they didnt go mad/corrupted/feral and had to be exterminated.

None of them. No race in the Horde has any reason to defect.

I canât think of any such race that would be appropriate on the alliance, outside of furbolg. And thatâs mainly because theyâre just periphery night elf content to begin with.
Nelves were supposed to be vicious and the gameâs rarely portrayed them as such. Worgen were too, but the story went out of its way to mollify that with a cure.

I have got it!
Blight Elves!
They are lore wise Night Elves who died at Undercity, and choked on the Blight so much, that Elune actually thought they were some new thing she made up after she heard them choke.
It is basically just a pale green Night elf customization. But is sounds like closure for Teldrassil to me.
They should have been Forsaken all things considered as Forsaken made up all races. Not just humans.

To be quite honest most that currently exist wouldnât fit in very well with the Horde either. Furbolg and âwildkinâ would work with Alliance, but theyâd require genuinely showing the Wildkin as more than âfunny druid form chickenâ lmao. Which lets be real: weâve had about 20 years for blizzard to make them look aligned to their original Warcraft 3 âgiant beast who will rip you in halfâ vibe and they have pretty consistently just doubled down on the meme.
Similar to how blizzard will legitimately just invent something that makes no sense, like âthe darkshore furbolg got so mad they attacked both sidesâ even when cured of corruption, despite the Furbolg being peaceful when uncorrupted, just to facilitate whatever they want.
Thatâs enough out of you Q!
Night Elves, apparently.

Back at the start of BFA there was some hopeful chatter about Sethrak becoming one of the new allied races, with some proposing that they were juuuust regal and sophisticated enough to fit with Alliance themes.
Although if theyâre really that prim and proper, does it still fit to call them a âsavage raceâ? Is it enough that theyâre simply beast-men? Is savagery more more about the image or the attitude?
My picks are Furbolg, Jinyu, and Broken.

maghar and void elves could easily be justified as neutral with a simple quest line branching off. Even nightborne but I think maghar neutral would be more desirable.
If weâre talking about attitude, I would say the vrykul are a sensible choice, at least the friendlier tribes weâve met so far. A rugged and at times brutal culture that still displays meaningful similarities to their human descendants. Their practices and personalities would help them stand out among the rest of the Alliance without clashing too hard with their values, whereas if they went Horde they may seem too similar to the orcs.
Void Elves canât as the Blood Elves kicked them out of the Horde. It wasnât their choice to leave.
At least the High Elves are willing to take in their Voidkin.
