Pathfinder race: Man'ari (WoW)


Man’ari



Man’ari are a race of Eredar like the Draenei. When Sargeras approached the Eredar leaders, Archimonde, Velen, and Kil’jaeden, only Velen rejected his ‘gift of power’ and fled their homeworld of Argus with all he could, forming the Draenei. The others accepted the demonic powers of Sargeras, forming them into Man’ari – Eredar fueled by evil energies. Primarily they have red or pale purple skin, with green eyes resembling the fel, sargeras’ power. Some Man’ari retain their pale blue color. In essence, the Man’ari are a form of demon. The vast majority of Man’ari are evil, however there are the rare few that can resist or have broken free of the will of Sargeras.
