Liadrin is the best and most outstanding cleric among the younger generation. She is the adopted daughter of the high priest Vandelor. The most important thing is that she is not a noble.
She represents the will of the Holy Light, a group that is relatively weak in Quel'Thalas but still retains a sense of existence.
What Kael'thas has to do next is to amplify the presence of this group in order to capture the attention of the MPs and give him the opportunity to complete the subsequent rectifications.
However, with priests as a relatively marginalized group, even if Kael'thas is the new Sun King, it will be difficult for them to grow to the same level as the Farstriders in a short period of time.
Otherwise, his father would have done this a long time ago instead of allowing the power of the MPs to grow to what it is today.
Kael'thas thinks that he is still far behind his father, but there is one aspect in which he should be stronger than his father, and that is his understanding of human society.
In the time after the Troll War, the connection between the high elves and humans gradually became weaker. Especially after Emperor Thoradin disappeared and the human empire fell apart, the elves' knowledge of humans decreased.
During this period, the ruler of the Elf Kingdom was Kael'thas' father.
But Kael'thas is different. He is a member of the six-person council of Dalaran, and he has stayed in the country of humans all year round. His understanding of humans can be said to be deeper than that of any elf.
A group that had risen in the past twenty years attracted the attention of Kael'thas, especially the best among them, who gained Kael'thas's friendship and admiration.
That is the Paladins of the Silver Hand, and Arthas.
The power of the Paladin allowed Arthas to see what the elves lacked. Perhaps the long life of luxury made them forget some of the qualities they once had. If the words and deeds of the Paladin could be introduced into Quel'Thalas, perhaps he could Let the high elves regain their former pride.
Kael'thas had already seen the feasibility of this from some high elves who lived in Dalaran, joined the Silver Hand, and learned the ways of the Paladins.
But rather than selecting people directly from the high elves living in Dalaran, Kael'thas hopes to cultivate a true "talker".
First of all, this candidate must be selected from the elf priests who are familiar with the Holy Light, and this person must have sufficient talent and ability, be younger, and be able to become a model for more elves to follow.
To Kael'thas's relief, the conditions that sounded very harsh actually allowed him to find a suitable candidate.
That was High Priest Liadrin.
This young priest who is passionate about the Holy Light and has experienced several wars and won many military exploits is exactly the ideal choice in Kael'thas's mind.
The most important thing is? She is not a noble, and she has nothing to do with the mage!
"I wrote a letter of recommendation for you? I hope you can go to the Silver Hand of Lordaeron to study and better understand the way of the Holy Light."
Kael'thas took out a beautiful letter and handed it to Liadrin. It contained a letter of recommendation written by him, as well as some necessary documents.
Liadrin accepted the letter with some confusion. She still didn't understand what she was going to do. "Your Majesty... if I want to study? I should go to the Holy Light Church in Stratholme? Why go to Silver?" Hands..."
"Do you think Quel'Thalas lacks priests? Or lacks the ability to train priests?"
Liadrin almost nodded, but when she heard the meaning of Kael'thas' words, she changed her mind and said, "Our number may not be large, but our ability to train priests is not weak? Many of my colleagues and Students are all full of enthusiasm for the Holy Light and our Kingdom."
Kael'thas nodded approvingly? "Yes, but Liadrin? Let me ask you, can you use a sword? Or some other weapon?"
Liadrin was really speechless at this time. Although she was very knowledgeable in the magic of Holy Light, she knew nothing about wielding swords and guns. When she went to the battlefield, she was also her ranger teammate. Standing in front of her to fend off enemies, she uses spells to heal the wounds of her comrades and attack enemies at the same time.
"The rangers of Farstrider may be proficient in various weapons, but they are unable to treat serious injuries by themselves, and it is difficult to carry priests with the army for those harsh tasks."
Kael'thas' words really hit the priest's weakness. Although the power of holy light they possess allows them to heal the injuries of their companions, few have both superb martial arts and a strong physique.
"But... Your Majesty, the Paladin is mankind's 'secret weapon', right? Will they really be willing to teach me?"
Liadrin raised her concerns. She was afraid that even with Kael'thas's personal letter, her identity as a high elf would be ostracized, and in the worst case scenario, she would spend several years there without receiving any information. Any real gains.
"Don't worry, I have recommended the best teacher for you. He will not have any racial prejudices or personal factors. At the same time, he is also one of the most powerful paladins in the world."
So, under Kael'thas's "fooling", Liadrin carried a simple bag and a letter of introduction, and stood in front of Stratholme Cathedral blankly.
She handed the letter to the church attendant, and received the news that she was asked to rest in Stratholme for two days, because her teacher was not in Stratholme at this time, not at the headquarters of the Silver Hand.
What is puzzling is that although there are indeed many burly and strong paladins in the Silver Hand, Liadrin did not see even one of the first-generation paladins when she took Kael'thas's letter of introduction.
If the attendant hadn't explained to her that the Paladin mentors had gathered together for important matters, she would have thought that she had really been left out.
The most bizarre thing is that despite what Kael'thas said, Liadrin was sent to Stratholme in a daze, without even having time to open the envelope, and she didn't even know who her mentor was.
After three days of waiting in Stratholme, when even meditation could not erase the various suspicions and uneasiness rising in Liadrin's heart, she finally met her "teacher".
However, when she saw that excessively young face, she was first extremely surprised. Then, when she remembered who that face was, her surprise further turned into shock.
And this shock not only did not subside, but turned into uncontrollable horror when she saw an elf following her future teacher.
For a moment, Liadrin even thought that she was seeing an inexplicable vision because she was too impetuous.
"Hello, Lady Liadrin, I am Arthas Menethil, a paladin of the Silver Hand and your mentor for the future."
