Orweyna's possessions (as seen in a world quest)

"In World of Warcraft Midnight, you'll be able to play as the Haranir. And they're nothing like the races we've seen before. The Haranir are a secretive, subterranean people who wield powerful nature magic and can shapeshift into massive quilled bats. They hold their traditions as sacred, with strict oaths forbidding them from revealing their existence or showing their true forms to other races.

Until now.

While they've spent ages hidden away, guarding secret lands and the raw life energy of their goddess, with the Void spreading, they can see their sanctuary isn't safe anymore. So now, at long last, they're stepping out of the shadows. Expect fresh lore, unique cultural flavor, and narrative threads that tie the Haranir's hidden world into the larger Midnight story. An unfamiliar people from a forgotten time, the Haranir will be available to play as a new race in World of Warcraft: Midnight."

"Join Orweyna to learn how an infusion of Light has helped Eversong Woods regrow. Sometimes, though, there can be too much of a good thing. She is surprised to find creatures native to her home up here on the surface. And they're behaving very strangely.

[…]

After the discoveries she made in Eversong Woods, Orweyna invites us to follow her home, to Harandar. An ancient place hidden among the roots of the World Trees. Here we meet the Haranir, being who tend to these roots and live in seclusion; choosing not to interfere with events in our world.

As we quest through Harandar, we'll learn not only about the Haranir and their traditions, but about the history of our very world, and its special connection to this zone and its people. Through learning their rituals and facing their trials, we have a chance to earn the trust of the Haranir and invite them to join our fight, unlocking them as an Allied Race at the end of this chapter of the campaign.

The whole zone is grown rather than built. All the buildings have been lovingly crafted and are a living testament to the Haranir's connection to nature. Look up, see the tree roots curling and weaving through the sky, and take a look in the northwest of the zone, where Teldrassil's roots can be found. The little details here are a reflection of the destruction we saw aboveground.

I'd highly recommend getting a view of the zone from above, too. Maybe even try to fly into the big glowing area in the sky in the middle of the zone. With the root curling around it? Wonder what you might find there."
