I know this first section is short, but that's because it's not really a chapter in its own right. The actual chapters will be longer. Some names are spelled differently to reflect changes in language.

“Blessed be those that walk in the Light
Anointed are you, supplicant of Talis (blessed be his name)
Be steadfast always in His Memory
Strength and Courage to the Children of God!”
-from the Quar’Nat, Holy Book of the Paladins of the Silver Hand
Chapter 1 – A Lesson in History
Two hundred fifty years have passed since the Shezzarat, the invasion of the Burning Legion that had ravaged the lands of A’zroth, and even now, the land is burned with its taint. The Abomination, False Emperor of the Faithless, and name Unspeakable, sits yet upon the Frozen Throne, in command of the forces of Death, the Scourge.
Following the defeat of the Demonlord Arkimonde upon the slopes of Mt. Hyjal, the men of A’zroth saw fit to rebuild the old glory of Humanity. So did men found the fortress of New Sturmwind in the burned-out husk of A’zroth, defiant even unto their screaming ends at the hands of the Scourge. The remnants of Humanity sailed across the Great Sea, bringing their tales of woe to the small island fortress of Theramore. The Orkish Hordes under the Thrall, having made the costly mistake of allying with Scourge were eradicated, and Durutar scraped out like a gourd.
Following this was a century of peace, brought by inactivity. The Kings of Humanity lost their way, and in forsaking the Light were brought to their knees by their own greed.
It was in this time of darkness that Feanor Talis (blessed be his name), the son of a shepherd, brought to the failing Light the Fundamental Truths of God. Even as he was burned as a heretic by the blasphemers of the Old Church, did he proclaim for all true believers to purge the world of the Faithless.
In the First Silver Crusade, the Paladins of the Silver Hand converted to the Rule of God, and in so doing, broke the Old Church. Melanor Silvershill, Holy Companion of Talis transcribed the Truths of God into the Book of Faith, the Quar’Nat.
In the Second Silver Crusade, the Council of the Anointed declared that the Kaldorei of Kalimdor were among the Faithless, and after a half-century of brutal warfare, succeeding in breaking the power of the Night Elves.
Ignorance is a Sin, for indeed, the Second Fundamental Truth of God states, “Believe always in God, but lose not your sight, for sloth, ignorance, apathy, and complacency are traits of the Abomination.” This Sin, the Council committed, and for their transgressions had Holy Authority passed on to three factions – the Chosen of the Light, True Kingdom of Lordaeron, and Quel’Dorei, with the Church of the Silver Hand watching over.
Humanity is once more in war, for the forces of the Unspeakable now invade the lands of the Chosen of the Light. Following is the account of Paladin Alamis Shadowslayer, Anointed of God.
