Allgemeines
« Devotion to the faiths of Azeroth leads many priests to the paths of courage and heroism. In dark times, priests carry the light of faith with them as a reminder of the powerful forces at work beyond the comprehension of the peoples who walk the land. Powerful healers with an intimate connection to the divine, priests are empowered with abilities that aid them in times of dire need. »

Ausbildung zum Priester
« Though anyone can become a member of the Church, becoming an actual priest is a long and difficult process. First come various classes, taught by lay priests, all about the Church’s history, principles and activities. If the applicant does well in class he graduates to the next level, taking personal instruction with a priest. That’s all about prayers and other devotions, I hear. Most applicants become lay priests, working for the Church while studying. They can spend several years in instruction, basically until the priest feels they’re ready. Then there’s an audience with the bishop, and a stay in one of the Church’s monasteries — several months to several years away from everyone except other faithful. I understand this is when many of them experience true communion with the Light for the first time. If the applicant maintains his faith and still seems suitable, the monastery’s head priest sponsors him for ordination. »

Ordination & "Priestersein"
« Once a priest is ordained, her life belongs to the Church. The council decides where she goes and what she will do, whether that’s working a farm or preaching in a city. The priest can put in requests, of course, but that’s all they are. Most priests stay with the Church until they die, though as they get older they do more studious and clerical work and less physical labor. A few lose faith and break away, forsaking their vows. Those who do stay, and who distinguish themselves spiritually and politically, can rise through the ranks and eventually become a bishop. »
