Be wary mainlander. The mighty wolf Greenstalker, once a protector of these forests, has fallen under the sway of dark forces. My brother and I attempted to calm his spirit,but he is too far gone. He nearly killed my brother and I. He was still consumed by mindless rage even after we used a powerful charm. Using the charm weakened him but not enough. I ask you <class>, please, use the charm again. End his suffering. I must tend to my brother's wounds. Go now before the wolf consumes us all!

The magic which holds this man is the same magic which taints the land around us. The corruption seems to be early in form. I believe I can cleanse it. Take this branch, and bring it to the three shrines around the Ashenwood. That should allow it to gather enough energy for my spell.

Those Who Remain

The Ashenwood Grove has stood untouched by corruption for generations. But now, it has been overrun by parasitic fungi that came from the depths of the earth. In their infestation, they have found a few key relics that were nestled among the roots of the trees. They are some of few that remain of my kin's legacy. If you could bring me any you find, I would reward you.

Lost in the Woods

My apprentice rushed off immediately upon seeing the infestation in the grove. No doubt that she believes she's strong enough to handle those fungi on her own. Which leaves me alone to clean up this mess. It's been some time since she ran off, could you look for her while you're in the Ashenwood?

These loggers are destroying the forest, and harming the wildlife!

Beavers need this wood for their dams, but have had to resort to scrounging for scraps.

It's not safe for them anymore! Please, help me chase them back to the safety of the water.

Sowing Saplings

Algerson destroys the forests and leaves nothing remaining! It is up to us to take care of Azeroth, to help her live and grow as she was meant to!

Take these seeds, find the soil that calls for them, and help our planet recapture her grace and vitality!

Drust Magic and Formsmagic and aesthetic of Kul Tiras

Kul Tiras has some new characters and the land itself is a very dark land. Witches have been using the ancient druidic magic called death magic. Because its a druidic type of magic, there are large treant wicker type creature that walk the land along with wicker beasts that are made of wood and bone.

Comment by RyuFlameheartInteresting idea.
I'm on board with this TBH.Comment by urielvazquezIt makes sense. Kul'tiras has been druidic since forever... same as Gilneas. And Gilneas brought new druids to the Alliance. Would make sense to bring a new cool druid to the Alliance in Battle for Azeroth as well.

And I think this is the best shot we have at this.Comment by AerensiniacIntresting idea, but... druid forms are already becoming obnoxious with being able to shapeshift into furbolgs and dinosaurs, with this we would include wooden constructs and then its free game because we should be theoretically able to shapeshift into coca cola vending machines too.Comment by CalmingNightPlease don't let them be playable. The Alliance has been nothing but humans lately. We need variety.Comment by upfromtheashesAlliance needs to get something a helluva lot cooler than fat humans in order for allied races to be remotely comparable...Comment by kasmiyaI honestly would love this and I'd probably race change my night elf druid in a heartbeat tbh if this ends up being a thing.Comment by ArrayaHarvest Witches ftw! Gilneans shouldn't be the only ones!Comment by MrBishopAdmittedly, we don't know enough about the backstory of where they plan on taking the Kul Turan humans as a race, even if they will be an Allied race, but I do hope this doesn't happen. It would seem almost like a last ditch effort to appease Alliance druids to give them a race that can be Druid to somehow "correct" the alleged imbalance of Druid races for the factions. My problem purely comes from the standpoint of the mythology throughout gaming history of Druids, even in WoW -- humans are generally very bad at being Druids because they're far too industrious of a race, whereas the races who can currently be Druids, and those coming up in BfA, are those races who embrace nature as a whole. Obviously just my humble opinion, but I think this is just a bad idea...Comment by CaaethilO #$%^ I'm on wowhead bois.Comment by RenutsIncoming salty Zandalari Paladin fans in 3... 2....Comment by wbeylisWOW that would just be AMAZING, I've always wanted humans to be druids and in fact I made a worgen for that exact purpose....I am so in on this!Comment by SoeroahCould be a fun idea.Comment by SoifonAdmittedly, we don't know enough about the backstory of where they plan on taking the Kul Turan humans as a race, even if they will be an Allied race, but I do hope this doesn't happen.

I just want that puppy with a backpack.Comment by perculiaALL OF THIS IS DUMB

I just want that puppy with a backpack.Comment by MclagginSold! Sign me up. Would not complain. And honestly, I'd love to have an option for a druid race that wasn't a nelf(Which I've never cared for their models) or a worgen (awesome, but body shape makes helms look retarded).Comment by Kenji1987Please don't let them be playable. The Alliance has been nothing but humans lately. We need variety.Comment by MightylorddkAs a hardcore horde player, I am supporting this idea. Zandalari trolls are legitimate "master race" of Azeroth. Horde is getting them, and we already saw how boring alliance starting storyline will be in BFA. so they're having Mighty Kul Tiran as their new allied race along with druid class, it will kinda balance the imbalance state blizzard created.Comment by 7thAngelSorry to tell you urielvazquez but.. It's not truth.
Gilnean people weren't druids. They were something like harvestors that learn about nature and herbalism (long before wall. during it it slowly faded). It wasn't real druidism. Night elves just used that thing from their history and added to it a lot of thing so they learn them how to be druid. This means that Kul'tiran human is same thing as Gilnean used to be. So no druid

What I saw on lot of forums most people even don't want them to be allied race but just option to normal human. I personaly don't want them and as night elf druid I totaly DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM AS DRUID. Better have no druid than this.
