Unlocking The Haranir

I am a fairly new WoW player, I finally chose to give it a chance since the new Race, the Haranir, interested me quite a lot and is a big reason why I want to buy the expansion and actually play the game.
However, from what I hear, I will need to do the ENTIRE story of Midnight in order to even make one of them. I want to play through the story and learn the lore instead of skipping all the way and spoiling so much for myself.
Is there any way at all that I am able to unlock the Race as a new player wanting to play as that Race from the start?

I have the money set aside for Midnight, but this is making me not want to buy it or play the game as my characters mean a great deal to me and I want them to be right from the start.

new races are sadly unlocked through the story, reasoning behind it is that, AFTER we help them they trust us enough to spare their kin to aid us, ie them joining factions.

It makes sense.
I am just kinda bummed out as I really wanted to start the game and play through the story from the start as them… Just kinda sucks I guess.

I get that honestly, but at least they get a unique mini starting zone experience. So that ought to be fun!
