Fact
Skyborne (shen'dorei) descend from Highborne rebels who fled Eldre'Thalas / Prince Tortheldrin; wind spirits of Skywall raised Zephras Isle into the Elemental Plane of Air. Benefactors vanished and pylons are failing. Three factions: Windshapers (Horde-aligned shamanistic spiritual leaders; only they can be Shamans), High Order (Alliance-aligned magister descendants; only they can be Mages), Al'Aketh (cult of Al'Akir). Blizzard Watch calls them a splinter group of the Shen'dralar.
