I. Introduction
Greetings champions of Azeroth, so instead of preparing for my school requirements here I am.
The "Tales of Unsung Races" or "ToUR" is an altered melee map series for custom races.
The races or factions that will be presented here are the ones that feels "uncelebrated"
or the ones left out in the lore.
While, the custom race in the maps are not lore accurate I try to make them as plausible.
Like with the Quilboar, I have added Harpies since while they are neighbors
and might have been fighting against each other.
They can be connected through Agamaggan and Aviana both are Ancients,
also making Druid of the Tusks possible.
For Bloodsail, you might have notice the 'Uncrowned' in the title.
Fleet Admiral Tethys is one of the Shadow on the WOW Lore.
So I have used this Lore, to make it like the pirates are under the rogue class hall.
II. Finished Races
Under this section are custom races that have already been
posted in the Hiveworkshop's Map section.

Quilboar
Background: wiki
Design Philosophy:
"Quilboar are known for their fearlessness and savagery.
Believed to be the mortal"
"Quilboar are primitive, resilient, fearless creatures who inhabit
the central Barrens of Kalimdor..."
I wanted to put emphasis on their resiliency to have survived
their wars with other various races and a Tribal centered race.
Pros
-
Strong summons
- Can endure fights longer
- Versatile
Cons -
Limited and fragile air units
-
Weak siege capacity
-
Micro dependent
-
Dependent on a limited options for healing and health regen (Briar Protection Upgrade)
-
-
Bloodsail Buccaneers
Background: wiki
Design Philosophy:
"Although extremely dangerous, they are the least wealthy of all
pirate groups. This is due to the simple fact that no one survives
a Bloodsail attack, which means the pirates don't allow survivors
to be possibly robbed again in the future."
Due to this description from the wowpedia, I have scrapped my idea
of a pillage-based race and instead focus them into an offense type.
Cons
-
Costlier units
-
No reliable source of healing (for now)
-
No proper base defense (will add another building for this)
Pros
-
Strong offense capabilities
-
Strong siege capabilities
- High mobility
- Versatile
-
