I, along with @Cerb57 and @Brutalskars got together and decided to make a guide on the racial prejucies against another race in the Warcraft Universe. This guide might be used to help flesh out a character, generate good old conflict role-play, or simply brush up on your Lore! Who knows, not us! We just wrote the guide!
If you have any interesting lore tid-bits regarding racial prejudices that we might have missed, feel free to leave a comment.
Humans are a vastly diverse group, inhabiting most of the continents of Azeroth and Lordaeron, as well as many islands off the coasts. Most humans are rather friendly and familiar with the Dwarves of Khaz Modan as well as the Gnomes. They all know of the High Elves (now Blood Elves) of Quel'thalas, though many regard the Elves with superstition because of their isolation. Humans also foster a deep-seated rivalry and hatred of all troll-kind, starting back to racial memories as Azotha, when they were hunted as game by the Trolls.
Stromgarde is the oldest human city in the world, dating back to when the first Human King rallied the the many human tribes in the Arathi Highlands and surrounding regions. This need arose when Humans finally began to strike back at the trolls, as a means of survival. The line of the ruling family, the Trollbanes, goes back to the very first King, though growing diluted over the years, they are no longer true-blooded Arathorians, the last dieing with Lothar.
The Average Stromgardian might host a personality that would hint at being superior to other humans because of how long their families had lived in the oldest Human Nation, though never in an overbearingly insulting way. Sromgardians would have the best relations with the Dwarves of Khaz Modan due to their proximity to the Mountain. However, of all the human nations, Stromgardians would have an overbearing hatred of trolls. This is a deep-deep seated prejudice that -all- trolls are basically vicious monsters that need to be exterminated.
Come the Wars with the Horde, Stromgarde would begin to foster a deep hate of the Orcs and their ilk as well. The City was razed during the Second War, as well as the lands around. To make matters worse, the Horde allied with the Forest Trolls of Zul'Aman and the Hinterlands, compounding an already deep hatred. Stromgarde has since then been plagued with roving bands of trolls, orcs, and ogres in their lands. All Stromgardians wish for their homeland to be reclaimed in order to rebuild it to its former glory. During the Interim after the Third War, Stromgarde City itself fell into disrepair and occupation by the many hatreds they foster, a new one coming in the form of desperate Alteracians bearing the symbols of the Syndicate.
Stromgardians-
*Might act a little superior to other Humans
*Extreme to the Max hatred of Trolls, regardless of situation.
*Hatred of Orcs and Ogres due to events of Second War.
*Distrust of Humans from Alterac
*Distrust of High/Blood Elves
*Hatred of the Undead
The Nation of Alterac sat in the snowy mountains in the center of the continent of Lordaeron, these hardy mountaineers formed their nation among the cliffs and crags. Though Alterac never had the funds or lands to form large armies, they prided themselves on their cunning and intelligence. Relying on skill and ability more than martial force to protect their lands.
Alteracians pride themselves on their minds, able to find solutions to complex problems, or so they would have you think. Alteracians can also be conceited, especially in the Nobility; where as the poor would be more resentful of those with more money than themselves. Alterac fosters, possibly, the least amount of hatred of trolls due to their protection in the Mountains. In the case of the Second War, many Alteracians were forced to fight alongside the Orcs, Ogres, and Trolls, with the traitorous action of their King, Aiden Perenholde. This would most likely have led many Alteracians to a strong distrust of Royalty and Nobility due to the flipflop.
Though the Kingdom of Alterac is dead, many loyal Alliance Alteracians still wish to one day reclaim their mountain homeland in the name of the Alliance. Many hate the Syndicate, a brash organization of thieves and rebel nobles who have squandered in the ruins of Alterac, shaming their people as a whole. Alteracians also hate the Orcs and especially the Ogres, a clan of which squat in the shattered ruins of Alterac City. Alteracians, after the Second War, would feel betrayed by Lordaeron, more so than the other nations, as King Terenas left the nation in dismay, effectively abandoning the Nation after Lord Prestor disappeared.
Alteracians-
*Would act as more clever and cunning to most Humans.
*Distrust of Trolls, not as much as the other nations.
*Hatred of Orcs, due to Second War.
*Extreme Hatred of Ogres, due to their squatting in the Capital
*Distrust of the Royalty and Nobility.
*Distrust of Lordaeron
*Hatred of the Undead
*Distrust of Stromgarde, due to martial law and invasion during the Second War
The Nation of Gilneas sits on the Gilnean Peninsula and Southern Silverpine. The Proud Gilneans have always been the most arrogant of the human nations, fashioning themselves as superb Warriors and Hunstmen. Gilneans often act superior, most times in an overbearing way, to other humans. They feel that any other race is vastly inferior, leading to distrusts and outright racist remarks to such Alliance staples as Dwarves and Gnomes.
During the Second War, King Genn Greymane felt as though the other Nations -needed- their help to fight the Horde. Greymane sent minimal support to the Alliance, though kept his own borders in check. Gilneans have always felt secure in their country, due to its natural borders on and off the Peninsula. After the Second War, Gilneas, along with several other nations, had demanded the execution of every Orc prisoner. The resulting construction of the Wall and cessation of ties with the Alliance has led to most Gilneans feeling that they do not need outside help.
In the long years after shutting their gates, Gilneans have risen as an industrious and prospering people. They work hard and are not afraid to tell you what they think. During the Northgate Rebellion, the country was indeed split between the Rebels and the Loyalists, though the conflict was cut short just before the spread of the Worgen Curse. Gilneans also would have fostered a distrust to the Harvest Witches, though it would have only been superstition. Gilneans would, at first, host distrust of the Worgen, though as many were cursed and cured of their feralness, the normal Gilneans found it in their hearts to accept them, though many refused them as Monsters.
Gilneas was also invaded by the Forsaken, leading to an extreme hate of the Undead as many Gilneans were plagued and brought back to life, including many Nobles. The Night Elves helped save many Gilnean Civilians and Nobles, including the Royal Family, leading to a collective feeling of gratitude to the Elves.
Gilneans-
*Feeling of Superiority to other races, including Humans.
*Extreme Hatred of the Undead
*Old Hatred of the Trolls, the nearest "threat" being Zul'Dare off the coast.
*Extreme Hatred of Orcs and Ogres, to the point of isolating themselves from the Alliance, due to not wanting to pay for the upkeep of the Camps.
*Gratitude to the Night Elves
*Superstitious Distrust of the Harvest Witches (Though Gilneans would trust other Gilneans before anything else.)
*Distrust of the other Alliance Races and Nations
The Citizens of Dalaran are a wise and intelligent bunch, many being on the humble side. Though not everyone is a mage, the vast majority of the Governing Body, the Kirin Tor, is magical in nature. Dalaran hosts the only colleges in the world, with the exclusion of the Academy of Arcane Arts and Sciences in Stormwind. Originally situated on the shores of Lordamere Lake in Northern Hillsbrad, Dalaran has since taken up a nomadic state, as the city itself hovers through the skies of Azeroth.
Though inquisitive in nature, the good people of Dalaran are respective and more open-minded than most humans. They openly welcome anyone, regardless of race, to study in their halls and schools. In the Second War, Dalaran was partially destroyed by an Orcish raid. Many ancient tomes of lore and artifacts were stolen, which would lead to a general animosity to the Orcs, possibly even mild hatred.
During the Third War, Dalaran was completely and utterly laid to waste. Many thousands dieing in the magical destruction or the roving bands of Undead that swarmed the city. The People of Dalaran have since recovered, rebuilding their city in a most defiant way. Many agents of the Kirin Tor have been sent out across the world to keep a watchful eye amongst the many comings and goings during these dark times.
Dalaranians-
*Inquisitive, thoughtful, and wise, though not 'in your face' about it.
*Very open-minded to new ideas and races.
*Extreme Hatred of the Undead (Though understanding of the Forsaken and Death Knights)
*Distrust of Trolls
*Distrust-Hate of Orcs
*Friendly to High Elves
*Neutral to Blood Elves
The Kul'Tirans are a mercantile people, rivaling the Goblins in their shrewd wit and bartering skills. The Nation of Kul'Tiras sits on several of the larger islands at the mouth of the Baradin Bay. Boralus is the Capital, with Crestfall and Drisburg being the two other larger islands. Just before the Second War, the majority of the Kul'Tiran trade fleet was converted to warships, the sailors aboard trained as soldiers.
The Kul'Tirans lost many lives during the War, but were able to be enough of a thorn to the Horde to make it worthwhile. Kul'Tiras bade it's time, being one of the supporters of executing the Orcs, instead of imprisoning them. They remained largely unaffected by the Third War, though the city of Drisburg was overrun and destroyed by the Undead. Kul'Tiras also has a loathsome hatred of Pirates and the like, as many would often raid the coastal villages and shipping lanes.
Kul'Tiras has been proud of its old naval traditions, even if their King and his fleet were lost fighting the Orcs in Kalimdor just after the Third War. The Kul'Tirans are grateful to the High Elves for their support in the way of Elven Ships during the Second War, helping them across the war in Baradin Bay.
Kul'Tirans-
*Upfront about their actions in the Second War, as well as their skills as traders and sailors.
*Hatred of Trolls, like the ones on Zul'Dare.
*Extreme Hatred of the Orcs, as their fleet was crippled in the Second War, nearly destroyed after the Third, and their King was killed by them.
*Extreme Hatred of the Undead, as Drisburg was overrun and destroyed
*Neutral to High Elves for their support in the Second War.
*Most Culturally Diverse of the human nations, being the center of trade for generations.
Azerothian Humans left the North long ago to found their own nation, as land was gobbled up by the other Kingdoms. Eventually settling on the coast of Elwynn, Stormwind City was born and founded by the line of the Wrynns. Many Azerothians harbor the same hatred for trolls as the rest of their race, though they have fought a different breed in the form of Jungle Trolls to their far Southern and Eastern borders.
Azeroth is a wildly diverse land, with the cities and villages of the Elwynn Forrest, the vast farmlands of Westfall, the mountain towns of Redridge, and the shrouded villages and homesteads in the Duskwood. These wildly different lands make Azerothians hardy and resilient, though they were still destroyed in the First War. The Kingdom of Stormwind was laid to complete waste, many heroes and ancient orders being destroyed in the fiery war.
The People of Azeroth were re-united in the Hillsbrad, making the town of Southshore their temporary capital. However the Second War took that from them as well, forcing many to take refuge in the many cities scattered in Lordaeron. Combined with the old hatred of Trolls, the Orcs continued to berate the Azerothians. When the lands of Stormwind were reclaimed, the people of Azeroth cried out for the execution of every last orc in the land.
The People of Azeroth are suspicious of High Elves and outright distrustful of Blood Elves, viewing them as traitors to the Alliance. The People of Azeroth have also suffered greatly at the hands of bandits, more so than the other nations, with the exception of Stromgarde.
Azerothians-
*Stormwind Humans would hate Orcs compeletely, with no room to budge on that. These people killed their King and burned their city down.
*Stormwind Humans also harbor the same ancient hatred for Trolls.
*Stormwind Humans are suspicious of High Elves, and very distrustful to Blood Elves, viewing them as traitors to the Alliance due to information from the Third War.
*Distrust of Altercians for their traitorious actions during the Second War.
*Distrust of Gilneans, but to a lower degree due to them leaving the Alliance of Lordearon in a time of peace.
*Distrust of Worgen, period. This is a nation who has dealt with the Worgen in Duskwood long before Gilneas rejoined the Alliance. This wouldn't be an overnight acceptance.
*Possible distrust of the Royalty and Nobility, due to King Wrynn wishing to imprison the Orcs, rather than executing them.
The People of Lordaeron have grown outward, encompassing most of the continent of Lordaeron. Their capital, Lordaeron City, sits on the Northern shores of Lordamere Lake in the Tirisfal Glades. The People of Lordaeron are a wildly diverse group, though many have taken to the multiple farming communities across the country. There is also a strong Noble tradition in Lordaeron, which might lead to some of the poorer folks being a bit more resentful.
During the Second War, a deal of Lordaeron was burned by the Orcs, though through their tenacity, the war was worn and the orcs banished or imprisoned. Lordaeron remained as the largest and strongest from the Second War and, with Dalaran, had the orc captives imprisoned for an indefinite amount of time. This was against the wishes of the citizens of the other countries, as well as the citizens of Lordaeron.
Lordaeron has been dealing with Trolls on it's far South-Southeastern borders for generations, leading to the age-old hatred to still be strong. Lordaeron also cultivated relations with the High Elves, though many in East Lordaeron were still as racist as the Gilneans (See, Lord Othmar Garithos).
Lordaeranians-
*Extreme hatred of the Undead, could very well be impossible to communicate with them peacefully. The Undead are taking up the ruins of Lordearon as their base of operation and continues to take over other territories to raise more Undead.
*Trolls, nuff said by now. Lordearon, like everyother human kingdom have been fighting with the Forest Trolls.
*There is still a hatred of the Orcs, as with the rest of the Human Nations.
*Distrust of Alterac, because of traitorous actions during the Second War.
*Distrust of Gilneas, due to it's secession from the Alliance just after the Second War.
*Some Groups in East Lordaeron might be a fair bit more racist, due to lack of support from the Elves in Third War.
That concludes the Humans! We hope you enjoyed reading about these and incorporate what you have learned into your characters! Up next is the Rest of the Alliance featuring; The Night Elves, Dwarves, Draenei, Gnomes! There will also be a few minor sections regarding the Worgen and Theramore! Stay tuned!
A Guide to Racial Prejudice in WoW
