Religion

The profession of priest originated from human beings' belief in the Holy Light, which was taught by the Naaru in dreams. As for the influence of Tyr, it was more on Tyr's guards. The specific abilities of this type of professional can be seen as resonating with their own beliefs, thereby gaining extraordinary abilities.

There are many similar professions in Azeroth, such as the Moon Priestess of the Night Elves and the Loa Priests of the Trolls. They utilize the divine power bestowed by Elune or the power of the Loa. The dwarves' belief in the Holy Light was taught by humans. Believing in different gods means using different divine powers, but priests are different from Night Elves and Trolls, because there is no specific god in the Holy Light, and humans do not directly contact the Naaru like the Draenei.

When priests are learning about the Holy Light, some gifted individuals can also sense the shadows at the same time, but they are too firm in their faith to use the power of the shadows. Dathrohan was not too surprised by the shadow priest profession mentioned by Galen. Because there have always been some outliers in the Church of Holy Light over thousands of years, some individual priests have proposed the theory of the unity of light and darkness—that is, light and darkness are both opposite and one, existing at the same time. However, for various reasons, their influence has not continued to expand. The incident involving Bishop Natalie this time, even if she secretly formed a small sect called the Forgotten Shadow, even if she had compiled the theories of Shadow Priests into a book, will eventually become a ripple in history as long as the contemporary archbishop is determined to reject it.

Galen could have asked for the notebook directly, but he didn't have the manpower to form a shadow priest group... There were too few native priests in the Arathi Diocese, and it was even more impossible for the priests of the Heart of Origin to change their template, so this matter could only be handed over to the Church of Holy Light. But unfortunately, the contemporary archbishop was called Benedictus, who was also known as the Twilight Godfather in a certain timeline. All the high-ranking officials of the Church of Holy Light could obtain the notebook, except him.

Another point was that Galen knew that Natalie was still alive. Most people believed that Natalie was murdered because of her beliefs, but the truth was that she knew her fate long ago and took steps to protect herself from her inevitable death. When her followers attacked her, Natalie sent her soul into the void, to a location known only to her, where a necromancy circle would be all that was needed to return her soul to her body.

After sending Dathrohan away, Galen went to check on Vanessa. At this moment, the young stalker was lying in the tent. Even though VanCleef had given her a whole bottle of Fountain of Life, her face was contorted in a frown and her breathing was unstable. It was obvious that she was in great pain. Galen cast several Holy Light spells, but they did not relieve her pain.

"Xal'atath, how are my men doing?" Galen held Xal'atath and asked about Vanessa's situation.

"Oh, her, it's just that her mental strength is exhausted, she won't die."

"I was thinking about leaving here, but I used too much force and drained her mental strength. She will have to lie down for at least a month!" Vanessa had touched Xal'atath without any protection, and was immediately controlled by the dagger's power, losing herself, and her mental strength was greatly impacted. If she were a magician, she would only need to calm down and meditate for a day or so to recover, but unfortunately, the stealth profession was one that relied on agility and required training skills to use the power of shadows.

Xal'atath knew about Vanessa's condition, but Galen didn't know how to treat it. She had been given the Fountain of Life, so could it be the Fountain of Magic? Just as Galen took out a bottle of blue liquid, VanCleef, who was watching over Vanessa, said, "Great Lord, I also fed her the magic spring water, but it didn't have any effect. Please allow me to take her back and find a Holy Light priest."

"Pfft!" The black dagger at Galen's waist sneered. "Priest of Holy Light, if you want her to recover quickly, you need to at least reach the level of my previous servant, otherwise their meager faith will be powerless!"

Natalie? The bishop of the Northshire Monastery was at least a legendary figure. Galen was not familiar with other high priests except Alonsus and Velen. It seems that my followers are not comprehensive enough. It was a critical moment recently, and Vanessa had many important tasks to shoulder. Should she lie down for a month? If everything went well, they would reach Ny'alotha. So Galen was a little annoyed: "Shut up, is there any other way besides the pastor!"

"Uh... send her to Dalaran, or those elves can cure her."

Master? I told you earlier. It was hard to find a priest, but the mage Galen had enough of them. Galen immersed his mind into the Heart of Origin, searching for the wizard who was free at the moment.

Medivh and Khadgar were on Draenor.

Gandalf and Aegwynn were in Kalimdor.

Meryl and Ansirem in Dalaran.

Anasterian and Belo'vir in the Throne of Heroes.

They're all very busy. Galen continued his search.

Med'an?

Damn! Why is this guy not in Azeroth, but in the void! Don't want to live anymore? Galen immediately sent out a questioning mental wave. Soon, Med'an sent back an innocent expression. Oh shit, am I being too lenient with him? Is he just messing around? Never mind him. This guy is so tough that he won't die.

Finally, Galen found a suitable candidate. Thranduil, I choose you!
