Told only from World of Warcraft: Forever’s own sources.
The Skyborne who stand with the Horde: shaman, druids and wanderers from a failing island in Skywall, the Elemental Plane of Air.
The Windshapers are the Skyborne who stand with the Horde. Like the High Order, they come from Zephras Isle in Skywall, the Elemental Plane of Air, an island whose air elementals vanished centuries ago and whose sustaining magic is slowly failing. As islands such as Anvilas and Siroccas fall silent, refugees crowd onto Zephras, and even Zephras has begun to fall apart.
Windshapers leave Valanaar by airship for Skywatcher Plateau in Mulgore. They may be warriors, hunters, rogues, druids or shaman, and they are the only Skyborne who walk the shaman’s path. They glide on the wind, fight with quickened haste and strike elementals harder, and their own gift, Skysight, speeds their travel and lasts far longer near an elemental convergence. Like the High Order, they require the optional Skyborne Heroic or Epic Pack.

What the sources do not say yet

These gaps are left open instead of being filled in.
Where the Skyborne came from and how their two orders formed are not described in the sources this guide uses (the Zephras Isle and Forever wiki pages, racial pages and Blizzard posts).
Why Zephras Isle's air elementals vanished, and how the Skyborne came to join the Alliance and the Horde, is not explained there either.
