The Light

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 world of Warcraft along with the Void, which was born from the absence of the former. The two cannot exist without the other.[6] The Light is not necessarily "good", it is a primal force with its morality characterized by how it is wielded.

Pure Light cannot exist within the physical universe but shades of it manifest as holy magic.[6] The Light is the source of all life in the cosmos. Summoned by willpower or faith in one's ability to do so, the powers of the Light can be harnessed to heal, cleanse, protect, or harm. Most of its practitioners are called priests or paladins, devoted to cleansing the universe of darkness. Learning to wield this healing force takes years of discipline.

Its positive energies,residing in every living being, in every heart and soul,is everywhere, binding all sentient beings together as one. Enlightened races have come into the study and practice of Light-based magic of their own accord.

The Light cannot fully see destiny, though neither can the Void, for neither are singularly responsible for creation. The Light seeks one path and shuns all others as lies.

While the Old Gods are known to live in the void there is no known entities that come from the realm of The Light, however whenever the light collides with the physical planes the process of creation is possible. This effect can be seen when the Primal Gods bathed in the light when it pierced through the planes and became the pantheon capable of creation magic and able to repel the Old Gods.
