On retail, my mage married a paladin. They had a behbeh. :3 Didn't get any comments on that.
I'd say it depends on how zealous and puritanical the character in question is. I've seen instances of either way in my time on retail, and with no hard evidence for religious celibacy or no in the lore, it's open to interpretation as to what the Church of the Holy Light's laws are in regards to relationships and marriage. The philosophy itself - being true to one's emotions - seems to be inclined in favour of freedom in relationships, but it could just as easily interfere with the more dutiful side of being a Paladin. They are, after all, not just skipping philanthropist types, but judges and enforcers. I'd use a Jedi analogy if not for the horribad acting in the prequel trilogy. :<

Ny own Paladin back in my Retail days swore himself into celibacy after a hefty helping of character development led him to conclude, simply, that it'd be better to forgo relationships entirely. Think about the sort of logic behind that line of thinking and draw your own conclusions.

Regardless, if there were any strongly defined traditions for a Paladin in regards to this subject in the past, they're almost certainly irrelevant now, given how decentralised and scattered the Order of the Silver Hand is.
Verelden Wrote:Q: I don't know if this has been asked or not, but lore-wise are Paladins allowed to get married/be in a relationship? Just wondering if they had to take some kind of vow to keep them focused on 'the Light'.

Yes, Paladins are allowed to be married. I can't recall where I read it, but the Order of the Silver Hand did not restrict marriage or relationships.

Remember Turalyon and Alleria?
Question: Can fel hunters or fel stalkers also track divine magic users? I know they can track arcane spellcasters.
I somehow doubt it. I believe they feed on mages and warlocks due to their connection to the twisting nether, but I don't have sources to back this up right now.
Arcane magic leaves a trace, which fel hunters/stalkers use to track the spellcasters. I doubt divine magic leaves a trail, since it isn't corrupting. I would say they can't be tracked that way.

As far as I know, Divine magic isn't traceable. At all.
Question: Now that we know that Paladin's are allowed to marry. What about priests? I guess that it normally would not be allowed, but could there be exceptions for the more, let's say 'rebellious' character. I got a young BElf Priest and he is pretty rebellious and doesn't care about rules, so could he have a relationship?
Thanks for the answer guys. I was just wonderg if they thought it would 'distract' the Paladins too much from their mission or force them to do something they wouldn't normally do to save their spouse etc. especially when the Scourge came. I would assume the same would apply to priests, as long as it was done according to their morals. Warcraft lore isn't really clear on this type of thing. I think they don't want to draw too many similarities to real life religions like Catholicism.
I, personally, think that the Azeroth Priests have all the rights to marry. Nothing I read about the Holy Light and its religion (very little) gave hints to a rule like that.
Priests can marry. They don't have a "doctorin" or anything like that saying they can't.
Ok thanks, was just wondering, since most real religions do have rules for such things.
Just wondering as I've heard ten minutes to ten hours, but... How long does it take to summon a portal for about three or four people to go through?
Portal summoning doesn't take too long. You just wave your hands around, mutter some stuff, and off you go (at least that's what I usually do) >.< The portal summoner doesn't get to go through the portal, because he has to maintain the portal (i.e. keep it open). He sends whatever / whoever it is he wants through it, then drops the spell and teleports there, methinks. Then again, I could always be wrong :x You might want to check out portal restrictions / mechanisms in my guide to magic (link is in signature) <:
What would the adverse affects of holy magic be on Death Knights (if there are any)?
