Religions in the Warcraft Universe

(Remember:  Not all of the members I list necessarily follow the religion, but a part of them.)  These are the tree major religions in the Warcraft Universe.





    • The Holy Light – The Holy Light is the most followed religion in Warcraft.  Followers do not worship any god; instead they seek perfection within themselves, and form a bond with the universe.

        Death Knights, along with The Scourge, other undead, and living followers of the undead, all have faith in Shadow and Necromancy. Though they practice this for their own self-benefit, the closest thing they have to a god is The Lich King.

        Warcraft = rich but somewhat generic lore.

        Actually, Mages are the closest thing to Atheists. They hold faith in the practice of Arcanum, or Arcane magic. They don't draw their power from any deities, or have a boss, like the DK's, for example. They merely practice magic for their own benefit.

        Warriors and Rogues are also Atheists. But they aren't as bound to it as Mages.

      5. You forgot about the Wildhammer clan, that one being a shamanistic dwarf clan.
