World of Warcraft

The world of Azeroth has many paths, and therefore many faiths.

Here are a few:

The Light: (Of Course)
The Titans: (Mainly finding out their Mysteries, rather than Worship. Explorers League)
The Elements/Ancestral Worship: (You know, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water and your Great Uncle Hubert.)
Demons: (Some worship, and some make pacts with them. This is one of the Darkest Faiths.)
Old Gods: (Yep, tentacles! And this is what the Twilight cult comes in...no, not the books. Their worse. They are almost as bad as the Justin Bieber Cult.
None: (Atheism is frowned upon, but still.)

There are a more, so don't go on at me.

Branos used to worship the light, but in Death he began to turn more towards the facts of the Titans. He still carries a Rosarius, though it is slightly blackened. There is never an atheist in a Foxhole. He mixes prayers to both Light and Titans.

And a pretty stupid philosophical conviction in a world where Gods evidently exist.

On topic, the Loa and all that jazz.

Psylas knows the Gods exist but after he was abandoned by the Light, he chose to disregard them all, thinking they'll all eventually betray him. He openly practices fel-magic to insult followers of the Light and takes delight in their disgust.

Raca here more or less worships Demons, though. Or... Makes pacts with them. He doesn't really worship anything, or ask for things for no reason. He does, of course, ask Demons to help him... Or, rather, order them. Or make deals with them. etc. etc. The usual warlock stuff.

And, just for other people to look at, if they want:

http://www.wowpedia.org/Religion

Just some of the religions that apparently exist in WoW.

Velynia doesn't have a religion per se, but she does revere the Burning Legion to the point that it could be called that.

Valeander does not worship. But his personal beliefs do align conveniently well with those of the Forgotten Shadow.

Rithrynn does not care for inferior beliefs, gods or powers.

Thus she devotes her faith, life, worship and craft of war soloaly to that of the almighty goddess of the moon, Elune.


One day, the light of the great goddess shall reach out to all the creatures of Azeroth, and the world shall be made perfect through the visions and divine wisdom of Elune.


... and if anyone asks any questions regarding the validity of this claim, Rithrynn's job is to see to it that the balance of nature is upheld.

Watrus does tend to acknowledge the loa, though not as in depth a way as those who'd require their boons constantly. She'll attend ceremonies, perform solitary rituals if absolutely pushed to it, but prefers offerings and requests when trying to appease or 'worship'. Being a Hunter has lead to a sense of individuality which doesn't always get on with complete faith in the loa, or at least not the entire pantheon.

''no gods, everyone is just faking it''
she said to the priestess as her limb was reattached by the light of elune.

Eyil worships the Light. It's basically her livelihood, and making some sort of slander agains the Light would probably be a pretty sure way to get on her bad side. She may aknowledge that gods exist, after all, the Light is an atheistic religion and their powers have been seen, but she doesn't worship them; it's mainly for diplomatic reasons rather than anything else that she'd mention their existance.

Dremt'har is a Shaman. Do the maths.

Old Gods. Totally the Old Gods.

Holy Light here. Original, eh?

Cold, hard cash is the only 'profit' worth listening to.

Well, she's been worshipping demons, kind'a... but that's also like, making pacts with them for more power, so I'm not really sure if that's considered a 'religion'.




... to the nether with accuracy!

JUST LET THE WORLD BURN!!!

Burn heretic and purge unclean!!!


There is only the light that cleanses the world

Btw good point bro..

Hmm, Tallister started off fairly devout to the Light, but years of service in the army and his experiences in Northrend shredded that faith, into a more practical soldierly like faith in 'Just doing the right thing, and trying to be a decent enough bloke to his comrades' Since being pensioned out of the army after copping a very minor exposure to the blight at the Wrathgate, leaving him with lungs that are all shot to hell he has started to question what it all means, and as he reaches the twilight of his life he's a little worried about what happens to him when he carks it. He believes the Light is a power, and doesn't refute other Gods, but he has no real sense of how he fits into it all, so finds faith a difficult concept to truly, well, believe in.

Out of interest, given that Capitalism seems to be the driving force for Goblinkind, what -do- their Priests believe in, that grants them power? Is it a sort of Enlightened Self Interest path to the Holy Light, or something a bit more complex?

Ruta is your regular follower of the Light, she worships and prays it, but not to devout levels. She also acknowledges the history of Dwarves and their heritage from the Titans, but she has no worship for the Titans, believing that if these Titans were so great and wonderful, why did they choose to flee Azeroth and leave it to go so wrong?

I'm surprised the Forgotten Shadow has been mentioned only once and even then by a night elf who doesn't even really follow it in its actual meaning. Therefore I will be the first properly zealous, narrowminded and bigoted follower/worshipper of the Forgotten Shadow.

Well it's called the forgotten shadow for a reason, aight? :P

I'm a paladin and a (somewhat) zealous (thank you wright for helping me spell that) follower of the light

*Suddenly remembers Discworld universe where gods like to smash windows of the atheists during night*

On topic: BP is active worshiper of Goldrinn and tries to convert into her faith every person she meet. Including gnomes.
