Told only from World of Warcraft: Forever’s own sources.
A flying island in Skywall, the Elemental Plane of Air, and the starting land of Forever’s Skyborne.
Zephras Isle is the starting zone of the Skyborne, the playable race new to World of Warcraft: Forever, unlocked with the optional Skyborne Heroic or Epic Pack. The island floats in Skywall, the Elemental Plane of Air, where the Skyborne once shared it with air elementals. Those elementals vanished several centuries ago, and the magic that keeps the island aloft has been fading ever since. Contact with the other Skyborne islands, Anvilas and Siroccas, was lost with them.
Now those islands are collapsing, refugees are fleeing to Zephras, and Zephras itself has begun to break apart. High Elder Talaanis Shadowsong rules from the town of Valanaar, whose skydocks send airships to Dalaran in the Alterac Mountains for the Alliance and to Skywatcher Plateau in Mulgore for the Horde.
