Unlocking Mag'har Orc

Mag'har Orc is one of the client's allied races, which means the race is earned on an existing account rather than offered at the start.
The achievement that opens it is Allied Races: Mag'har Orc: Earn the allegiance of the Mag'har orcs and welcome them into the Horde. It is worth 10 achievement points.
Blizzard's own recruitment line reads: Then visit the Orgrimmar Embassy to recruit this Allied Race.

These are counts from our own rated PvP and Mythic Plus crawls, last refreshed 2026-09-20. They say who is playing the race right now. They are not the character creator's list of allowed classes: the client keeps that in CharBaseInfo, which this datamine does not carry, so a class missing from the list above only means nobody in the sample is playing it.
