    Native Races of Azeroth

    Elves:

    Dark Trolls
    ____\->Night Elves (WoE)
    ____________\->Harpies*(Aviana/Curse)
    _____________\->Satyrs (BL)
    ______________\->Highborns** (WoE)

    __________________________________\->Felblood Elves (BL)
    ___________________________________\->Darkfallens (Lich King)
    ____________________________________\->? (Rebirth of the Sunwell)****

    *There are different source of how the Harpies came into the Azeroth, One story that tells that the Harpies are night elves who, during the time before the War of the Ancients, gave themselves over to Aviana just as certain night elves changed when they gave themselves over to Cenarius. Another one tells that the Harpies are a group of Highborns who are cursed by Queen Azshara for their betrayal during the War of the Ancients. Another one is Harpies are children of Aviana.

    **The reason why I added the Well of Eternity as a cause that change the Night Elves into Highborne is because their looks and magic skills were changed because they were being so close to the Well of Eternity.

    ***Wretcheds are both High Elves and Blood Elves that lost themselves to addiction. High Elves learn how to meditate at least an hour every day to maintain personal control. Blood Elves feeding off something else to sate the addiction. Wretcheds are elves that did not control their feeding.

    ****It is unknown what will happen to the Blood Elves or Wretcheds since the Sunwell is reborn as holy/arcane well where as the first Sunwell was arcane well.

    Tauren

    _________\->Nerubians (Went north after the destruction of Azj'Aqir Empire)
    __________\-> Mantid (Went south after the destruction of Azj'Aqir Empire)

    *It is unknown which one is the first insectoids race, Aqir or Silithid. However it is said that Aqir is the smarter one of the two, so I put Aqir after Silithid.

    * Pandaren is added to this list however I still need more data to find out their beginning.

    Cenarius' Children*

    _________\->Centaur (Krenka, Marauders, Stonetalon Tribe, and Eastern Kingdom Centaur tribes.) (The Centaur)

    *It is hard to put this tree with the rest of the Evolution trees since it is more of a family tree. Cenarius is the father of Zaetar, The Centaur, Daughters of Cenarius, Remulos, and Ordanus.

    *Yes both Red and green Dragonflight were blessed by the same titan.

    **I do not know when and how are the Infinite Dragonflight created. We do know that Infinite Dragonflight came from the corrupted Bronze Dragonflight in some point in time.

    ***Damn it, Deathwing and your family, stop mixing the dragonflight. It is making a huge mess on my race chart.

    Quilboar

    Agamaggan

    Native Races of Draenor

    Grom (Extinct)

    _________________\->Mag'har____________________\
    ______________________\--------------------------->Mok'Nathal
    _______________________\->Orc (BL)
    ________________________\->Fel Orc (BL)

    *It took both elfish magic and demonic magic to create Ogre Magi. When the orc warlock Gul’dan carved up the elven Runestone at Caer Darrow and used its mystic powers to imbue Ogre enforcers with the ability and intelligence to cast spells, he created Ogre Magi. Since many Altar of Storms are destroy, there been report that Ogre Magi was able to reproduce with their less intelligent brethren to make more.

    Sporelings

    Sporelings
    ____\->Sporelok*

    *Need more data from the Sporelings and Sporelok. Might be different species due to what area they grow in, Sporeloks are found in caves where as Sporelings grow in a wetland. However both species are found in Zangarmarsh.

    Not enough data for Arakkoa

    Native Races of Argus

    Eredar

    Eredar (Extinct)
    ___\->Draenei (Naaru)
    ____\_____\->Brokens (BL)
    _____\__________\->Lost Ones (BL)
    ______\->Man'ari (BL)
    ____________\->Wrathguard (BL)

    Need a portal to Argus to find more races that are native and are not demonic yet.

    Native Races of K'aresh

    Ethereals

    Ethereals
    ___\->Ethereum (Void Magic)
    ____\->Void* (Void Magic)

    *It seem that Ethereals are like Naaru. However need more data to understand this race beside that they are greedy asshole. Also their planet is under attack from the Void and we do not know if the Burning Legion is part of it.

    Need a portal to K'aresh to find more races.

    Native Races of Xoroth

    Nathrezim

    ?
    _\->Nathrezim
    ________\->Tothrezim

    Need a portal to Xoroth to find more races since, there is not a lot of data on their home world.

    Twisting Nether Races and Other

    Will finish this at a different time

    Very nicely done. I believe the Jinyu are evolved Murlocs in Pandaria (turned by the waters of the vale).

    There's a lot of incorrect information in there. The official WoW magazine's final issue unveiled a bunch of concrete information on the evolution of races.

    For example, it confirmed that harpies are simply the offspring of Aviana; no night elves involved. Also confirmed that the night elves evolved from a tribe of dark trolls, that the pandaren aren't related to the furbolg, that goblins evolved from pygmies, and that orcs and ogres both descended from gronn, which descended from the grom (now-extinct Draenish earth giants).

    Twilight of the Aspects also had genealogy trees for all the Dragonflights, IIRC.

    Let see I already got the night elves came from trolls if you can't read that well.

    "According to Brann Bronzebeard's research, Harpies are descended from Aviana." Well, that the thing is that if you read the notes, I listed couple background behind that race. We do not know which one is true, Brann Bronzebeard's might be wrong or right. If that means that much to you, I add another tree for the Harpies.

    For the orcs and ogres, is the ordering this?

    Yeah you also have it stated that it's a rumor. If you're going to try and discredit Blizzard with their own creations it's probably best to not even do a chart.

    Plus http://wowpedia.org/Race_origins already does a great job showing what you have in a much nicer format. It's just missing Pandarens which you could edit in.

    I don't know if you can classify eredar as extinct. As far as we know the draenei are the original form of eredar and not a separate species.

    It does not list the other dragonflights that does appear in the game.

    I agree that it does show a nicer format but there are info missing for some race.

    You forgot to mention that also in that magazine it states the ettin's and the ogre's are linked in evolution.

    Draenei's is different from eredar.

    "The man'ari are the demon-corrupted eredar who now lead the Burning Legion. They are commonly referred to as just the eredar, this could be because, other than the draenei and man'ari, there is no evidence of other kinds of eredar left in existence."

    Another key point is that many of the Draenei's corruption does not lead them to become Man'ari, but to the Broken and the Lost Ones. Therefore their body did get change under the Naaru's protection.

    It is just drawing from Brann Bronzebeard, you do know that blizzard like to add oil to the fire.

    The only thing that is cannon is the blue posts.

    Also read the red writing. Even Brann Bronzebeard questions about some of his ideas of couple race.

    Naaru have been watching over the eredar for tens of thousands of years prior to the draenei fleeing Argus. If the naaru changed them it was long before the man'ari/draenei split.

    Draenei are a tribe of the Eredar, they aren't really different from the Eredar. At least according to Metzen.

    It was after the split.

    Eredar was not touch by any other race until after the burning legion first appear. Ata'mal crystal's background remain unknown, but it was the item that the Naaru use to save 1/3 Eredar that become draenei.

    didn't the furborgs come from the 2 bear god ancients Ursoc and Ursol

    http://wowpedia.org/Ursoc
    http://wowpedia.org/Ursol

    Also the Eredar are not Extinct, the Draenei are cast offs who renamed themself.
    the majority of the race went demonic and is alive and well (well except the ones we killed ofcourse like Jaraxus, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion or archimonde.)

    Ata'mal crystal was a gift from the naaru that was given to the eredar so far back that it's origin had been forgotten. I don't disagree that the naaru may have had an impact on development of the eredar since the crystal did increase their knowledge and intelligence, just that it happened a very long time before draenei fled Argus.

    They are extinct. Little magic just as Fel or Holy can change the race. Blizzard did state Eredar is extinct, due to the fact that 2/3 of Eredar became Man'ari, the last 1/3 became Draenei. Eredar as a race no longer exist.

    Draenei no longer called themselves Eredar. Even the Draenei no longer called their demonic member, Eredar, but rename them as Man'ari.

    Changing the name doesn't make the species extinct. Unless you have sources that state that the draenei mutated then there's no reason to consider draenei and eredar as separate species.
