World of Warcrafthas shared an overview page featuring information about the four major factions ofDragonflight: the Dragonscale Expedition, the Iskaara Tuskarr, the Maruuk Centaur, and the Valdrakken Accord. These factions are major players inWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s story, and raising Renown with them is a large part of endgame progression.
Like inShadowlands, theDragonflightfactions each have their own Renown tracks that can be increased to unlock titles, cosmetics, achievements, and new features. However, unlikeShadowlands, characters do not join a single faction inDragonflight–they can increase their Renown with all four at once. Additionally,World of Warcraftis allowing most Renown unlocks to be shared account-wide.

The Dragonscale Expedition consists of the Alliance’s Explorers’ League and the Horde’s Reliquary. The twoWorld of Warcraftfactions have set aside their differencesfor the sake of knowledge inDragonflight. Raising Renown with the Dragonscale Expedition grants players access to fast-traveling waygates and treasure-hunting tools, and can earn Dragon Isles Supplies to upgrade Exploration, Climbing, and Cataloguing abilities.
The Iskaara are a tribe of the walrus-likeTuskarr who players aid in the Azure Span duringDragonflight. These kind and hearty folk teach players new ways to fish, grant them access to exclusive fishing holes, and improve their fishing tools. Once players use their harpoons, nets, and other special tools to catch the biggest fish, they can hand them in during the Community Feats event for awesome rewards and hearty meals.
The Maruuk centaur are a coalition ofcentaur who dwell in the Ohn’arhran Plains inDragonflight. Though slow to trust, these centaurs can be won over with feats of skill and prowess. Players can do this by joining one of the 11 Grand Hunts and besting monstrous foes, or by aiding the nomadic centaur tribes as they move around the plains and offer special area-based quests. Players who impress the Maruuk can also gain special hunting animal companions, battle pets, and other unique rewards.
Lastly, the Valdrakken Accord is the alliance between the five major dragonflights inWorld of Warcraft. Centered in the dragon capital of Valdrakken in theDragonflightzone of Thaldraszus, the Accord seeks to rebuild its foundations after thousands of years so it might shift focus towards protecting Azeroth once more. Players can raise their renown via Supply and Crafting Quests, Work Orders, Dragonriding races, and other exploration challenges. Additionally,World of Warcraftplayers can choose to support Wrathionor Sabellian in their bids for control of the Black dragonflight. While players will eventually be able to support both dragons, they can unlock special rewards and quests with each of them individually via weekly quests.
