The Elemental Storm
Azeroth has is not what it once was. The planet has been ripped apart. It's resources depleted. Deathwing's return sundered the world once more, causing the earth to heave and change. The Elementals cannot sit by anymore. The Elemental Lords have turned aside their battle to tend to their world. The damage cannot be repaired by them alone. They need you, to go through out the land, assisting the elements and nature in healing the land. Those who have answered this call will be sent to the far corners of the land, as diplomats and ambassadors, to cease the fighting of the elementals chaotic minions. They will be sent to the most barren and inhospitable regions, to help bring new life, and remove those who would see all burned to ash. it's time to save the world... Literally.

Background
The new Hero Class!!!! These brave souls have given their body, mind and soul, to the will of the Elemental Lords. The few that have been deemed worthy have received great gifts over the aspects of the world, from the searing flames to the icy water, these powers are terrible and incredible to behold, and even more so to wield. These loyal followers are devoted to returning the world to it's true state, before the Titans idea of "order" and "harmony". Raw energy free to roam as it pleases, the first step, the destruction of the World Tree, Nordrassil has begun the process, now it is time to finish it. But some of these chaotic beings are skeptical. Could there be a balance, a middle ground? Is there a way for the Elemental Lords to have their desires be free, yet have the other races co-exist? Many Guardians seek to achieve this balance, and speak to their Lords and to the Horde and Alliance. These are the playable ones.

Creation and Starting Zone
To become one of these beings of raw elemental power, one must have a character of or above level 55. They are available to all races. Upon Creation, players will begin in a realm hidden by magic with in the Elemental, plane, and learn how to wield their great power. They will be sent on quests from all four Elemental Lords, their underlings, and even other Guardian NPCs. After wards, the Character will decide to aid the Horde/Alliance to mend the meddling of the Titans, and that of every other intelligent creature on Azeroth, while maintaing life and some measure of peace and harmony. Players will learn a spell to take them back to their hidden sanctuary for training.

Powers
The Elemental Guardian's draw from the energy of the four elements, this creates a spell resource called Guard Calls. As these are used, they generate Elemental Power. These are sources of the Guardian's power. The Guard has 8 Calls and they have a short cooldown once used. The Guard has a maximum of 200 Elemental Power. This will remain available until used from spells or to change Aspects.

Aspects: The heart of the Elemental Guardian comes from which aspect they are currently wielding. Much like a Death Knight's Presence or a Warrior's stances, these Aspects grant unique buffs to the character and more. The Character is always in an Aspect form and each Aspect has unique abilities that can only be used while in that form. Switching aspects drains all resources. Upon creation, the Character starts with the Earth aspect and will learn the others before they leave their starting area. These are the Aspects:
