Hai, my name is Psychyn and I'm trying to delve into the mind of a priestess. I'm writing up a profile for Cassie who is a neutral-good priestess always striving to help the people around her in some way while learning on and on.
But simply put, I'd like to learn more to flesh out her backstory. I've read the Guide by @Scout over there which has certainly helped, but I wonder about their training.
I know the three virtues (Respect, Tenacity and Compassion) as I played a few Paladins before but what else is there? What else has been part of their training? I vaguely recall reading something about a final test/rite centered around forgiveness but I sadly can't find it any more on the wiki pages (nor recall if it was cannon or not). Anyone know anything about that?

Edit:
Found it: http://www.wowpedia.org/Divine
Thoughts on that? Reading back, it seems more of a Mage thing? Though it mentions Druids and human priests. Is this RPG material or should I consider it for her history? If it is not cannon, is some of it plausible? I'm undecided if I want to use it or not.
---
I also stumbled upon this here which has a bit listed for 'Divine' domains. Is it usable or RPG non-cannon overruled material? If it is (partially perhaps) usable, I'd love to know more about these domains.
(Quoted and spoilered here for those that prefer it.)
Also, for the hierarchy Cassie is in. I am trying to stay away a bit from the whole religion idea (as to me it so heavily contradicts. One moment its a religion, the other it is philosophy and such debates never seem to go right when I'm around.) and stick to the idea of the inner-desire to do good and perfect oneself within the world, taking tiny steps to aid the universe and people's connection towards it. However, this page right here about the Church of the Holy Light states states the church basically decides her life from that point on. As a young priestess, may she feel that the church has moved too far away from the virtues and as such chooses to be independent? Instead of staying within the church and acting under a bishop, she's the type to travel and aid the world where she goes. (As leaving people to suffer because the bishop tells you to stay put hardly seems right.) Perhaps she left the church at one point after having completed her training?
Also stumbled upon this quest:
http://www.wowpedia.org/Quest:Garments_o...nn_Forest)
It states a priestess earns their robes, I imagine Cassie has one (or a few) of her own then depending on actions/feats performed in her history? (Which she may or may not wear, it seems optional.)
And to top it off with a question about a skill:
http://www.wowpedia.org/Mind_Soothe
Mind Soothe, it has a range on it so just for my own clarification, I assume it is some bolt/form of Light one may cast to calm down others? I don't have to channel the Light directly onto/into a person, do I? (It somewhat makes more sense in a way, but hey.)
