Need some input about shadowpriests

Lore Role-playing

I need a little input here. So I’ve read at some point that shadowpriests are priests that forsake the church of light for the forgotten shadow. That makes me wonder,

  1. Is that a mandatory religion for being a shadowpriest?
  2. If you’re not into the cult of forgotten shadow, are you not a priest then, what are you? A shadowmage?**
  3. How would a void/shadowmage*** be different from a shadowpriest?
  4. If I want to be just ”an elf who uses shadowmagic” no religion involved, what’s the best way to go about it?

I picked priest above lock because I want to be able to heal in pve in case someone thinks “why not save the trouble and go with lock “ :v:

** I know shadowmage isn’t a “real” class but looking at the wowpedia they seem to be a mix of lock and sp

*** yes it’s the same thing nowadays

Thanks :raised_hands:

Isn’t this pretty much what the void elves are all about?

Maybe :woman_shrugging: :stuck_out_tongue: I’ve never thought of void elves being the equivalent to shadow priests or some form of shadowmage, more an “insert class” now able to use shadow magic, but still at the core using that class’s abilities. Ofc one could maybe have said been a “regular” mage and now just using shadow magic? Does that make sense?

Yeah :confused: I decided to just go with “shadowcaster” vague and good :smile:

I hadn’t read that shadow priests “must” belong to the cult of forgotten shadow…

I just assumed, since they are available in-game, that they are unpopular faction members who utilize the power of Shadow instead of the Light.

If demon hunters, death knights, warlocks, and void elves are good enough for the Alliance, I don’t see why shadow priests should be excluded. :sunglasses:

The only thing we have about shadowpriests as far as I know is the little bit that’s on wowpedia that states they are a religious counterpart to the regular priest of light. “ Like all priests, they dedicate much of their lives to worship”, and I want nothing to do with worship or religion so will skip the priest part for safety :slightly_smiling_face:

About them being accepted in the Alliance wasn’t really a question :stuck_out_tongue:
