Allied Races have been a part of World of Warcraft since Patch 7.3.5, one of the last patches that were part of Legion. Since then, there have been a total of 10 Allied Races added to the game, five being available for the Alliance and five for the Horde. With the release of The War Within, there is now an eleventh Allied Race being added to the growing roster of races that players can choose from; the Earthen.
