Are the Lightbound Lightforged?

They largely use the Lightforged model, but it's possible they are created by a different, but related, process.

Visually, they look the same; as a result of this, my Mag'har hates Lightforged and will try to kill them on sight... but has tried to "rescue" normal draenei from them.


Umm are you sure? I don’t remember seeing the tats/markings being the same, only the coloration of the eyes. Also, they process if fundementally different. What illadin goes through is probably the same process used for light binding, it is significantly different both in tone and result than the forging trials.


None of them that I recall were wearing clothing that exposed the tats, but they used the Lightforged color scheme, and several Lightforged-exclusive customizations(horns and beards). They also had the Lightforged head runes.

Note that I'm not saying it's the same process- I'm inclined to agree with you that it was more like what Xe'ra tried to do with Illidan, and until I see canon otherwise, that some draenei had the process forced on them, as well.

Nonetheless, the end result is cosmetically identical, and likely to be similar in overall impact from any external perspective.
