Learn more about the Earthen Allied Race intro!

I played through the Earthen Allied Race intro on the Beta and wanted to share some highlights with you.

Your Earthen character starts at Level 10 in the Halls of Awakening. Essentially, your character wakes up from stasis and completes a few basic quests to get teleported to Stormwind and Orgrimmar. If you were hoping for an epic Demon Hunter-style intro, you might be a bit disappointed. This intro is brief, taking about four minutes to complete. However, its brevity can be a good thing, depending on your preference.

At the start, there's a cutscene, but in the Beta, it's currently just text.

The gist: Your character awakens from stasis before Dawn and Foreman Uzjax.

This is the area where you'll be completing the Earthen intro. It's called the Halls of Awakening. 

For the first quest you must complete the first stage of the Awakening Protocol, by clicking on various machines in the room.

The Awakening Protocol consists of a Diagnostics Scan, Cognitive Scan, and Anomaly Scan.

When completing the Anomaly Scan, you'll learn that you're an anomaly machine causing the systems to overdrive.

You must click on the Inner Song action button to break free from the chains.

Once you complete the first quest you will receive the Azerite Surge racial and you'll get to another room where you must complete the Analyzing Sequence in the Analysis Interface.

There are three consoles that you must interact with and select whatever options you'd like. The dialogue options seemed pretty random.

Anyway, once you complete that, you'll reach another room where you have to spar 6 Awakened Earthen.

In the final room, you must defeat the Phalanx of Authorization.

When you hand it the quest, you will get the Awakened Tabard.

When you're done, you will use a portal to your faction city and end up at the embassy.

Here, you can talk to Chromie Time to pick your desired expansion for leveling. Dragonflight is the default leveling experience in The War Within.

None of the other allied races have anything like this, they're just "alright, here's our history now go see Chromie in Orgrimmar or Stormwind". This is vastly different

I think you meant their recruitment scenario. All allied races have same short intros, they don't have actual starting zones with quests.

Maybe I'm thinking of that. I just remember doing quests and leaving Blackrock Depths and going back a few times.

I seem to recall the Lightforged Draenei go through an exploratory series including some fight scenes and rescuing someone from their misadventure.  Though it might address what they'd been through before they were Infused Into Lightforged status, it's still interesting.

Whan an "allied race" (sic.  should be "unlocked race", only half of them would be Alliance) gets made as a death knight, you get an even shorter intro sequence as you're uplifted out of Death by the Four Horsemen and the contemporary Lich King.

You're thinking the recruitment scenario, yeah most allied races have one but none of them have a starting experience like what was shown here.
