To unlock the Kul Tiran Humans as a playable Allied Race in World of Warcraft, you only need an Alliance character at level 40 to begin the recruitment questline—Blizzard has removed the previous reputation requirements. Once you reach level 40, head to the Stormwind Embassy to start the Kul Tiran recruitment quest chain.
You’ll be introduced to the leaders of Kul Tiras and get a deeper look into their culture and connection with the Alliance. The embassy is the central hub for recruiting all Alliance Allied Races, and here, you’ll begin the process to bring the Kul Tirans into the Alliance ranks.
Here are the quests in order:

Lore of the Kul Tiran Humans
Kul Tirans are a deeply resilient people, shaped by their connection to the ocean and their rich, rugged land. Originally an isolated island nation, Kul Tiras has been through many trials, including battles with dark magic, hostile forces, and internal strife. The region’s three primary areas—Drustvar, Stormsong Valley, and Tiragarde Sound—each contribute to the diverse culture and traditions of Kul Tiras.
Their unique connection to the Drust, an ancient race with mystical ties to nature, has influenced the Kul Tiran culture, especially their Druids. Led by the Proudmoore family, the Kul Tirans have remained strong allies to the Alliance, providing naval support and skilled fighters. After years of defending their shores, they now join the Alliance fully to combat new threats to Azeroth.

Progress in the Alliance War Campaign: Completing the Alliance War Campaign is crucial, as you’ll need the Ready for War achievement.
Level for Heritage Armor: Leveling a Kul Tiran character to 50 without boosts will grant you the unique Heritage Armor, a must-have for transmog collectors.
