![]() ![]() For example, humans and dwarves follow the path of the Church of the Holy Light, while the tauren Sunwalkers revere An'she, whose power can appear either as red flames or as golden magic similar to other divine magic. Not all wielders of the Light follow the same path. Most of the time, the Light manifests itself as a golden, shining light, though it has also appeared as a glowing white, silver light, especially when coming from Elune and her moonlight. Sargeras allegedly believed he had already defeated the Light, instead focusing his efforts on the Void, although it was ironically the Army of the Light which ultimately helped end his Burning Crusade. The forces of the Light have also been locked in a cosmic power struggle with the Burning Legion for thousands of years, with the Xenedar described as the Light's largest remaining refuge, and the only one capable of waging war against the demons. The Void and the Light, being opposite counterparts, have been locked in perpetual conflict since before time itself began, waging their massive battle across countless worlds and planets and affecting millions of lives, with the Light regarding the Void as "horrors to be resisted", while some of the Void's servants apparently regard the naaru as "beloved brethren that lost the true path" which will eventually return to their embrace. The most unstable energies created by the cosmic explosions coalesced into an astral dimension known as the Twisting Nether. Occasionally, these shards of Light would gather and form clouds of Light from which powerful beings would emerge, among which the benevolent naaru. The cataclysmic birth of the cosmos sent shards of fractured Light flying through the cosmos, suffusing the newly formed planets of the universe with the spark of life and giving birth to countless life forms, the most common of which were the primordial elementals. The growing tension between the two opposing energies eventually ignited a series of cosmic explosions that gave birth to the physical universe, the Great Dark Beyond. ![]() Yet as the ever-shifting sea expanded, pockets of cold nothingness appeared, giving birth to a second, opposite force: the Void. The Light existed as a boundless sea of living energy, swelling across all of existence, unfettered by time and space.

The Light seeks one path and shuns all others as lies. The Light cannot fully see destiny, though neither can the Void, for neither are singularly responsible for creation. They taught the use of the Light to the draenei and other enlightened races, such as the humans, but others have come into the study and practice of Light-based magic of their own accord. The naaru, enigmatic beings composed of shards of fractured Light, may be the purest expression of the Light in the physical universe. Its positive energies, residing in every living being, in every heart and soul, is everywhere, binding all sentient beings together as one, as it pervades and shines through everything, resonating within all things in the universe. Learning to wield this healing force takes years of discipline, as it is necessary to learn to abnegate oneself through meditation, in order to become conduits for the Light. Most of its practitioners are called priests or paladins, devoted to cleansing the universe of darkness. Summoned by emotions, willpower or faith in one's ability to do so, the powers of the Light can be harnessed to heal, cleanse, protect, or harm. Pure Light cannot exist within the physical universe but shades of it manifest as Holy magic (also called Light magic, holy energy, holy arts, and sometimes referred to as divine power). The Light is the source of all life in the cosmos, but not necessarily "good" it is a primal force with its morality characterized by how it is wielded. The Light (also known as the Holy Light, Holy Light of Creation and light of Creation ) is an endless, shimmering sea of energy situated outside the barriers of reality and one of the two most fundamental forces in the Warcraft universe along with the Void, which was born from the absence of the former.
