Racial Variant: Tauren Paladin (Sunwalker)

Racial Iconic Variant Class: Tauren Paladin (Sunwalker)

The Sunwalkers are an order of tauren paladins. They were founded by Aponi Brightmane after a series of theological discussions with Tahu Sagewind about the importance of balancing out the night-elven focus on moon-worship through reverance of light as part of their worship of the Earth Mother.

As such, the Sunwalkers are warriors who wield the power of An'she, the sun in tauren mythology. These 'paladins' exist alongside the renewed Seers, tauren priests led by Tahu Sagewind who also wield the power of An'she. The emergence of the Sunwalkers is a sign of both troubling times and the unending duty the tauren race has to the Earth Mother, in which hope is their greatest weapon.
