Elune

Although the Shadow used by priests is not clearly described in any official lore source I could find, it appears to be something different from the necromantic magic of the Scourge and demonic magic of the Burning Legion. Many roleplayers understand it a sort of counterpart to the Light -- not a kind of evil energy in itself (the way that fel magic is) so much as a force of natural decay and death within the overall healthy cycle of life in the world. It is the yin to the Light's yang, and together, both sides provide the balance that is life itself. The Forsaken in particular embrace this Shadow element through their "Cult of the Forgotten Shadow" religion without ever going to the extremes of the Lich King or the Burning Legion. The Forsaken essentially just realigned the teachings of the Church of the Holy Light to fit their worldview as underdogs seeking out more power for themselves in a world that has forsaken them.

Elune

Night elf priests probably wouldn't see much of a dichotomy between forces of Light and Shadow. Since they do not follow either the Holy Light or the Forgotten Shadow, they needn't understand Holy and Shadow magics as opposites. Their goddess, Elune, is the goddess of the moon, has a light and a dark side that constantly interchange with one another in the natural course of time. She has a bond with the world, guiding its peoples, protecting them from dangers, and restoring the balance of life. A night elf may believe that Elune has nothing to do with either the Light the humans believe in, nor the Shadow of the Forsaken -- or that she is the single source for both the Light and the Shadow. To them it doesn't matter so much as the belief that there is no inherent conflict between the two.

Incidentally, the night elf priesthood was formerly made up entirely of women, and the priestly organization, "the Sisters of Elune" remains entirely female. Male night elf priests have apparently not tried to form a "Brothers of Elune" for themselves. I would pay gold to watch two night elf priests, one male and one female, argue about gender roles in their society -- as yet I've never seen any roleplayers' characters express strong opinions on the matter, even though it seems like it has been a major issue in the lore.

the Light and the Shadow

Light

The two most popular sources of priestly divine magic (which is quite different from the arcane magic of mages), are the Light and the Shadow. Humans, dwarves, draenei, and to a certain extent blood elves as well, are all known for drawing on their faith in the Light to heal and support their compatriots in battle. Humans and dwarves are members of the Church of the Holy Light, based in Stormwind; the draenei are universally faithful to the extent that they don't even have a separate "Church" organization of any kind; and the blood elves are rather confused about what they believe right now -- many have regained their faith in the Light, but some still believe primarily in power and control as their ultimate religion.

We talked about the Light a bit in the article about Paladins, who draw upon the Light exclusively. Those priests who believe in the Light also draw upon it a great deal in battle just like paladins do. Priests of the Light, however, have a special duty to guide the people around them in social and spiritual matters as much as (or even more than) protecting them in warfare. Common people tend to expect priests of the Light to be upright and moral role-models, even if they do not believe in the Light themselves (although many other adventurers may be much more skeptical after getting out and about a bit).

Shadow

Shadow is a much less understood form of magic. If one merely looked at its use as a type of magic in the WoW game mechanics, we could see it is used by demons, undead, and any sort of generally evil enemy. Yet, even the most Light-fearing, good-hearted of priests must draw upon shadow spells (such as Shadow Word: Pain) in order to do any significant damage to an enemy. A priest leveling up will get into a lot of trouble using Smite to the exclusion of all shadow spells. One could simply ignore the fact that one's priest uses these shadow spells, but it makes more sense to simply find another way of incorporating it into your character's belief system.

WoW Moviewatch: The Orchard

We lead off this week with an offering from Lafawnduh, otherwise known as Dan Ross. The vid buy wow gold eo is The Orchard, and it won first prize in the Warcraft Movies Shrieking Shorties Contest. Lafawnduh was previously featured on Moviewatch for the Ultimate Snowdown back in December 2007. This time, Lafawnduh's looking at the strange story of Old Margaret, whose mysterious apple pies have won the Brewfest's Southshore Apple Pie contest for years. A frustrated farmer is at his wit's end and tired of losing to Old Margaret. He chooses to sneak into her barn one night to discover the secret. The Orchard is categorized as "Horror," but you don't need to be told that. Within a few second of the video, the mood, music, and first-person perspective tells you what kind of story you're about to witness. The perspective carries the horror theme very well, with a disjointed sense of what the character's witnessing. The story itself has a great ending. The morality of Margaret isn't c buy warcraft gold alled into question, except by what you might draw on from horror tropes. In fact, the cruel coincidence of what the narrator happens acros cheapest wow gold s proba wow power leveling bly makes for the most horrific part of the story. If he hadn't chosen this night, if he hadn't happened to be around, things might have turned out differently for him. I particularly enjoyed this graying of events, since it makes everything plausible without particularly cheap wow power leveling maligning anyone, or relying on tired cliches of motivation.

lineage2 adena letists

Given the fact that it’s hard t buy lineage 2 adena o actual buy l2 adena ly differentiate between this and the SNES Turbo: Hyper Fighting, it’s hard to imagine that there’s many people out there that are nostalgic for the Genesis port. As it stands Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition is a pretty impressive achievement consi cheap lineage2 adena dering the hardware it was produced for, but it’s nothing more than an interesting footnote in the Street Fighter lineage. The group battle option is neat and the fact that it includes both the Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting variants of the game is a bonus for comp cheap lineage 2 adena lineage2 adena letists, but we still can't recommend this entirely. If you’ve ye cheap lineage 2 adena t to download a Street Fighter II title on the Virtual Console then this is a solid option but otherwise save your points for something more worthwhile.


alongside the game in 1993

However, buy lineage ii gold the 6 button pad released alongside the game in 1993 was fa buy cheap lineage2 adena ntastic, offering even better control than the SNES pad, and in many respects made this the best version to own. The Virtual Console version experiences a similar divide - using the Wii Remote requires you to switch between punch and kick, which means that you should only really consid lineage 2 powerleveling er purchasing this if you own a Clas cheap lineage2 adena sic Controller. Although S buy lineage ii gold pecial Champion Edition is astonishingly close to the SNES port in terms of visuals and gameplay the fact of the matter is there’s already be buy lineage 2 adena cheap tter versions of this game availa cheap lineage ii adena ble on the Virtual Console.


unworkable as it sounds

Although the game bears the ‘Champion Edition’ moniker it does in fact include improvements seen in the ar l2 adena cade ‘Hyper Fighting’ edi lineage 2 adena tion of the game (which was ported to the SNES as Street Fighter II: Turbo). The gameplay is much faster and this makes a world of difference – playing the original SFII on the SNES just shows how slow and plodding it has become. N buy lineage 2 adena aturally there’s the ability to play as the boss characters and also pit the same character against him or herself. The additional moves – such as Chun-Li’s fireball – also make the cut. The only other notable addition for hardcore fans is the inclusion of a five-on-five group battle mode, which makes multiplayer tournaments a little more exciting. In the case of the Genesis original control was a rather touchy subject - the original Genesis pad only featured three fascia b cheapest lineage 2 adena uttons and required the player to toggle between punch and kick by pressing 'Start' - and yes, this solution was as unworkable as it sounds.
