From Blizzard

Who the Skyborne are, in Blizzard's own account.

The shen'dorei

The hidden people: descendants of Highborne who fled Eldre'Thalas after the War of the Ancients, made a pact with elemental wind spirits, and built a civilisation in Skywall.

The divide

The spirits have vanished and the Skyborne are split. The Windshapers descend from the first to receive the wind spirits' gift; the High Order from the Highborne scholars.

In the capitals

Windshaper Skyborne are trained by Shenthul in Orgrimmar, per the development notes. Each people has its own druid forms, voices, emotes and dance.

The pack

The race and the Zephras Isle questline need the Skyborne Heroic Pack or higher on the account. Updated HD druid forms and SD player models are still being worked on.
