The Tome of Divinity

In all things, a paladin must reflect the Light which supplements our strength. To strive to be divine for one of our kind does not mean we strive for godhood--we strive to be good in all actions. Although called upon to smite evil in these harsh times, you must always remember that it's aiding others that will truly set you apart from the citizens of Azeroth. Compassion, patience, bravery--these things mean as much to a paladin as strength in battle. Know this well, and never forget it.

Hello again, <name>. How goes your studies of the Tome of Divinity? Then you should be prepared to have yourself tested. There are always tasks to be done throughout the city and our lands; acts of compassion and understanding; people who need help; creatures to slay. By proving you have the patience to help others, especially those who are less fortunate, you prove that you are a servant of the Light and of sound mind.

Your task then, <name>, is to find someone here in Stormwind that is in need of aid. Someone who is pure of heart and motive. Perhaps someone helping others. Perhaps someone in need of a guide. Regardless, the person must have noble intent and be relying on your kindness. Do this, and return to me when you are finished. Then, we shall discuss more of your path and what it means to be a paladin of the Light.

Oh, hello, luv. How go your adventures? Oh, I'm so glad to hear you're doing well. Oh, me? Thank you for asking--I'm doing well, all things considered. The increase in tradesmen has kind of put a damper on the amount of leather and cloth people are willing to part with these days, so it's been tougher to make clothing for the children at the orphanage, but we'll manage. By "we" I mean my husband and I. He's up in Ironforge trying to seek help from the citizens there.

Bless their hearts, most of them have no families because of the Scourge attacks in the last decade. My husband John collects the materials for me to make the shirts and pants for the children, but I haven't even had time to do that. I've been too focused on keeping food on their plates, and a roof over their heads. What's that? You'd be willing to help? Oh, thank the Light, and thank you, <name>. If you could bring me some linen cloth so I can sew clothes for the kids, that would help me out so much.

Thank you, <name>, thank you so much! The children will be so pleased, and you've saved me so much time. I'll now be able to focus on the children's other needs, and hopefully my John will be able to return home sooner than we thought. Thank you again, <name>. I knew I could rely on the charity of others. The Light be with you.

I'll take these to the children this very day. Please be safe, good <class>. It is not often <men/women> of your character show their faces in the city, but you've proven that the paladins here in Stormwind shall never turn their backs on those in need. Farewell.

You've returned so quickly, <name>. And what have you accomplished in your time away from the Cathedral? Have you helped a noble cause? Perhaps you've learned the value of charity or some more about your obligations to the citizens of Azeroth. Tell me, who have you helped and how.... Well, I'm impressed, <name>, those are surely the actions of one who follows the Light and values others above oneself. Such sacrifice will always be rewarded in time.

Take this, <name>. It is called the Symbol of Life. You've proven charitable and patient, and now the time has come to see if you're powerful enough to focus one of the Light's greatest gifts. My friend Gazin returned recently from an encounter with some Defias in Elwynn near Heroes' Vigil--he barely escaped with his life. He's near the altar having his wounds healed by our priests. Take the Symbol and speak to him. If you can help him, then we will speak again soon. May you bask in the Light's glory.

*cough* Pleasure to meet you, <class>. Don't mind my wounds, the good priest here can take care of ol' Gazin this time. I won't be needing the power of that Symbol of Life you've got there... not yet anyway. So, Duthorian sent you to speak to me, huh? Fair enough. I'll tell you exactly what befell me and my friend Henze. And with any luck, and some skill on your part, perhaps you can still help us all.

Henze and I had made it to Heroes' Vigil, an island in the middle of Stone Cairn Lake in northeastern Elwynn. We'd heard the Defias had infiltrated our borders and we wanted proof to take to the king's advisors. We caught sight of a couple of the scum going over some documents, and we attacked. Unfortunately, we were quickly overwhelmed by more of the mages. Henze held them off for me while I escaped... the daft fool, going and being brave. He's out there now, Henze is. Can you help us, <name>?

Thank you, <brother/sister>. Seeing you wield the Symbol of Life, may I assume Duthorian or Gazin sent you? I fell to the Defias spell casters while Gazin and I tried to get their plans from them: I was able to hold on long enough to allow Gazin to escape, but in the end, their magics overwhelmed me. But you were able to bring me back: the ability to use the Symbol doesn't come to just anyone, <name>. It bodes well for you that you were able to empower it with your own faith.

We'll have time to talk more about the Symbol at a later time. What's important now is to get those papers we saw the Defias going over. If we can get our hands on them, we'll be able to prove the Defias have infiltrated Elwynn and hopefully gain some insight into what their plans are. I'm in no shape for battle as of now, <name>. Do you think you're strong enough to get those papers from the Defias here on the island? If you're able to get them, bring them back to Gazin and let him know I'm all right.

Wonderful! You made it, and saved Henze. The Light is with you for sure, <name>!

I'll take the script to the King's advisors after Duthorian's taken a look at them, but in the meantime, you should go speak to Duthorian now. He'll be wanting to pat you on the back for sure! Thank you again, <name>. I hope we meet again. You're surely an ally I'm proud to call friend.

You've done well this day, <name>. You should take some pride in what you've accomplished. Even more so, you should be proud of your abilities. Not everyone can use the power of the Symbol of Life. Calling upon the Light to bring back the dead means you're prepared for one of the paladin's greatest honors: the power of resurrection. You shall have the power to bring back fallen companions much like you did for Henze. Be well, <name>. The Light shines upon you and you should welcome it wholly.
