History
Seeing as you seem a bit confused or unsure about the history, I decided to take a quick peek.

While it is perfectly possible to be born in Lordaeron, it wouldn't have done you much good to move to the Kingdom of Stormwind/Azeroth during the First War. This is because Stormwind is where the First War was going on - the orcs came through the Dark Portal, which is in the continent of Azeroth. Remember this is under 30 years ago! During the time of the First War, the threat Lordaeron faced was, well, nonexistant. No fighting there. In fact, after the First War, King Lothar rounded up survivors and quickly sailed them away from the devastated Kingdom. It's then that refugees from Stormwind, Elwynn, Sunnyglade and so forth settled in Lordaeron as well. In the second war, however, Lordaeron did suffer from attacks by the Horde. Southshore fell, was rebuilt and the orcs were rounded up and stuck into concentration camps. Meanwhile, the Alliance - and we can now call it "the Alliance" - retook Azeroth and Stormwind to have it rebuilt. The rest is history.

On the topic of "the newly found Church of the Holy Light", I'm assuming you mean what Northshire Abbey was known at the time of the Second War. I'm just going to quote WowWiki here for clarity.


 * For a long time, the Church was the dominant human religion. The followers of the Holy Light were everywhere, supporting civilizations and building cities and founding temples and generally bringing light and hope and help to everyone. Then the First War began. And there were the members of the Church, right in the thick of things, using their Light-given gifts to hold back the Horde. It was impressive — awe-inspiring, really. Unfortunately, to some, most of the priests focused on defending people rather than taking the fight to the Horde. And there just weren't enough priests to go around.


 * The leader of the Holy Order of Northshire Clerics during the war was Archbishop Alonsus Faol, and his apprentice was a devout lad named Uther. After the First War, Uther knew that that the Church needed to do more when the orcs came again—its people needed to stand up and fight instead of just healing and defending. They needed to go after the darkness and actively prevent it from harming anyone, rather than waiting for it to come to them. He issued a call to all the bravest knights to join his new order, the Knights of the Silver Hand, and thus the paladins were born. They saw their first battles in the Second War and were instrumental in the Alliance's victory. The church in Northshire was known as Church of Light at the time.

This might be interesting, regarding the locations where your character lived, how old they are and when they did what:


 * Before the First War, the Church had three major locations: Northshire Abbey in Azeroth's western countryside, the Temple of Light in Stratholme, and Cathedral of Light in Stormwind City. The Horde destroyed Northshire Abbey in the First War, tearing it apart and burning the rubble. The Temple of Light fell with the rest of Stratholme to the Scourge. Only the Cathedral of Light remains, and this has become the Church's headquarters

It seems the order in which you've written your history is somewhat garbled as well - at least, chronologically, it doesn't seem to flow very well. The character seems interesting, that's one thing.

On another note, I know most people probably won't ever ask you for your entire background and if nothing too interesting is there to mention, then you shouldn't. Most people won't pay attention to minor historical inaccuracies, a lot of wars have gone on in a very short period of time, but a lot of characters seem to have not been aware of them either. Nonetheless, I encourage people that DO look into the correct history. I've been doing this a lot myself lately, to develop a new character, but it was tricky to find the exact right historical dates. (Even then, I might've accidentally altered some of the lore to be more logical.)

But, as for you, read it over again, and fix it, you've got some good stuff in there, it's a shame to see it malorganized and erraneous. --Froin 14:44, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks a lot ! This was probably exactly what I needed. I'll read it a couple of times again and then start to remake the background of my character so that it's correct according to what you are saying here.

Again, thanks for the help :) --Peytôn


 * No need to thank me, I'm just pulling the information off of WowWiki.com, and I'm actually learning some extra stuff myself while doing so. It's all good. If there's any questions, don't hesitate to contact me or anyone else - we're all good and willing to help, I'm sure.

And, of course, Lord Anduin Lothar wasn't King of Stormwind.

You're right, Elizabetha, thanks. It's a mistake I've made a couple of times, but the king at the time was Llane Wrynn of course, until Garona killed him. Anduin Lothar was the Bolvar Fordragon of those days and played "regent".

Such a lovely regent, too. <3
