Heads Up! Two new races appear in the new World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - the Blood Elves and the Draenei. Fantasy game enthusiasts, as well as WoW players await the appearance of these two races, who take center stage in the said WoW expansion.

Don't have a clue about those races? Don't fret, as we're gonna give you a rundown of both races and show pictures of them so that you'll have an idea how pretty, I mean (ahem), how AWESOME they look. First off, the Blood Elves. Basically they are part of the Horde who were previously regarded as High Elves. Oh yeah, they are also hell-bent on wreaking havoc on the demons that destroyed their homeland, Quel'Thalas. Not long ago, they stormed the Naaru's fortress. The Naaru is a race of beings with a deep affinity for the Holy Light of Creation, and their Light-given power is the project the Blood Elves are working on, hoping to get it for themselves.

The Draenai are descendants of the Eredar. These people fled their homeland to avoid being corrupted by demonic forces. Nobundo, once a Draenai priest journeys with the draenai to Azeroth, and along the way, he imparts the wisdom of the shaman with them. He says that the elements were timeless and they stretched across the cosmos to inhabit every world they touched. With the proper training, the Draenei might learn to wield this overlooked, seemingly inexhaustible source of power.

Now, that our little pseudo-tutorial is done, feast your eyes on these brand-spanking new images:
