Structure
Having first formed during the First War, the Clerical Corps of the Stormwind Army's First Regiment, 7th Royal Infantry Battalion fields a contingency of priests, lay faithful, holy warriors, and inquisitional agents within three satellite orders that answer to the concurrent authority of the Church of the Holy Light through the Diocese of Westridge.
The members of the Clerical Corps [tbw]
Roles
The various combat roles that members of the Clerical Corps can take are listed here. Additional information about these roles and their paths of progression can be found below within the section of their related Order.
Diocese of Westridge
Subject to the greater Diocese of Stormwind, the Diocese of Westridge is the Church of the Holy Light’s arm in the duchy of the same name. Its priory has a storied history in the realm of Stormwind and has provided healers and battle-clerics to the royal army for generations. Those interested in becoming harbingers of their faith may take on trials to become fully ordained priests of the clergy. Due to the significant influence and popularity of the Duke, the Diocese of Westridge enjoys relative autonomy from the politics of the kingdom's capital.
ROLES AND PROGRESSION
The internal roles of the Diocese of Westridge and their associated requirements for advancement are listed below. In order to join the diocese as a recognized authority of the Church of the Holy Light, tyros must meet all requirements of the diocese's Ecclesiastical Curriculum and its Path of Ordination in order to take Holy Orders.
- TYRO: Initiates who seek to join the ranks of the Church of Holy Light may take on the title of Tyro. A Tyro will spend most of their time practicing their grasp of holy magic and learning the traditions of the Church. Tyros are expected to be able to defend themselves in melee combat should the need arise. In order to advance to Deacon, the Tyro must complete the "Local Process" of the Path of Ordination.
- DEACON: Able to serve in a variety of roles on the battlefield, a Deacon can wield the Holy Light to bless and heal their allies or smite their enemies. In order to become a fully ordained Priest or Priestess, an aspiring Deacon must complete the "Deanery Process" and the "Diocesan Process" of the Path of Ordination. After the Deacon finishes all three Processes, they will take Holy Orders in a scheduled Rite of Ordination.
- PRIEST or PRIESTESS: Ordained priests of the Church of the Holy Light are given the distinctive honor of serving as battle clerics in the Royal Army. Well versed in healing, defensive, and offensive magic, battle clerics shirk heavier armor in order to allow for greater maneuverability on the battlefield. While on the home front they might be found preaching the Light's graces to their parish, battle clerics zealously defend and inspire their allies when on the battlefield.
Stormwind Inquisition
Following the banishment of Sargeras, the rise of death cults and covens of witches in the wilds of Stormwind prompted the Church of the Holy Light to establish the Stormwind Inquisition to combat their threat to the realm. By the authority of the High Inquisitor, any agent of the crown may join this holy order to receive training and agency to combat supernatural entities, rogue wizards, and others deemed maleficar by the church.
ROLES AND PROGRESSION
- WITCH HUNTER: Witch Hunters seek out maleficar using their keen senses and eliminate supernatural threats that plague the kingdom with their tools of judgment. Witch Hunters are equipped with specially crafted armor consisting of both cured leather and brigandine plates. They go out into the field alone, or in a pairing, using scouting techniques to find their targets. In order to advance to Inquisitor, the Witch Hunter must take Holy Orders through the Rite of Ordainment and pass the Trials of the Inquisition.
- INQUISITOR: Considered the most experienced of the Witch Hunters, Inquisitors represent the best the Stormwind Inquisition has to offer. Inquisitors are often dispatched to the field with an aspiring Witch Hunter in order to demonstrate the techniques and tactics of the Inquisition. Inquisitors work alongside the High Inquisitor to determine the locations of supernatural threats and are often accompany Witch Hunters in their hunt for maleficar.
Order of Saint Isaac
So named after Saint Issac Degaullier, the Holy Order of Saint Isaac is a religious knightly order of paladins that strive to exemplify the values of the church while bringing swift retribution to the wicked and relief to the infirm. Aspirants of the order must take on several trials that test their resolve and adherence to the order’s values before they are recognized as Knight-Paladins. Despite claiming homage to the Order of the Silver Hand, the Order of Saint Isaac is sworn to serve the Diocese of Westridge.
ROLES AND PROGRESSION
- ASPIRANT: "Aspirants of Saint Isaac," also known simply as Aspirants, are the most introductory of the Order's initiates and may only undergo the first aspect of the Curriculum of the Knight-Paladin.
- CRUSADER: Crusaders are entrusted with more practical, hands-on, and advanced training. At the rank of Private, Crusaders (also known as "Aspirants of Saint Isaac" in proper conversation) are permitted to undergo the full course of the Curriculum of the Knight-Paladin. Once all sections of the curriculum are completed, aspirants can choose to initiate their Trials of the Knight-Paladin if they are deemed worthy.
- KNIGHT-PALADIN: Knight-paladins are those of the Order who have completed all of the Trials of the Crusader and sworn themselves to the upkeep and code of the order. They are tasked with assisting aspirants and crusaders of the Order in completing their trials, as well as to act both as elite troops and champions of the Order.
