What? The Church of the Holy Light has no churches?

-I don't think it was ever stated explicitly that they flat out don't go to church, so I removed that. I know it's more involved in practice than worship though, and the churches are kind of like libraries. -Kinst 22:01, 13 Nov 2005 (EST)

Dosen't Make Sense

Out of curosity, how can the Allaince Paladins, who follow and worship the Holy Light, use said powers against mambers of the Scarlet Crusade who also weild such power? I mean, sure, it may be a gameplay quirk but, there's also the fact both the Alliance and the Scarlet Crusade want to kill the Forsaken, yet the Forsaken preists are also capable of useing the holy light. Has the Holy Light changed from a benevolent being, as it was implied to be in earlier titles, to nothing more then a power that can be tapped, like arcane?

Forsaken priests worship the Shadow. Their healing ability comes from knowledge. Troll priest abilities comes from tradition and ancestors (check the low level priest quests). As for Scarlet Crusade, they don't go against the Alliance or Argent Dawn, they have emissaries in a few Alliance towns and Light's Hope Chapel. They are just mislead and go around nab nonbelievers who venture into their territories. --Voidvector 21:49, 26 January 2007 (EST)
According to lore in a short story in HPG, and other articles in the same book, Forsaken are not capable of using the Holy Light, being undead. Instead, many have twisted what they originally knew into a belief known as the Forgotten Shadow. Forsaken's ability to use "light" based spells in game is merely a game mechanic, to make priests from various races equal for the most part (except for the racial spells).Baggins 12:21, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Someone said the Scarlet Crusade dudes nab non beleivers. I thought they were posessed by demons so thats why theyre crazy. Or is that just the SM dudes? (Mr.X8 20:21, 26 May 2007 (UTC))

So, how did "it all start"?

Has it actually been explained how the people of Azeroth started to rever the Holy Light? To my knowedlege, no. I personally belive that the Naaru (although without actually explaining what the Naaru are) appeared in visions to one person in Azeroth (think about Moses). This person became the first follower of the Light in Azeroth, who in turn started to spread what the Naaru had told them; the word of the Holy Light. Of course, this is just my humble theory :S.
