Forged

The Forged are those that have been infused with so much magical energy that their physical attributes are altered drastically to the point that they change species and gain immortality. The type of "forging" that occurs depends on the type of magical energy infused into the individual. Changes often include (but are not necessarily limited to) glowing eyes and tattoos. Changes in skin tone are also likely.

The only confirmed variety of Forged in canon are the Lightforged, individuals infused with the power of the Light. This is shown shown most commonly in the form of Lightforged Draenei. However, there are many other beings in canon that might be in this category as well.

The Blood War campaign experiments with the idea of other types of forging, showing multiple examples throughout the campaign.
