Lack of Church in WoW

How long has it been since we prayed together, neighbor?

They decided to stay open during the undead pandemic and many church leaders died.

The World of Warcraft was better off.

While there isn’t many churchs per say there is still alot of religion kinda everywhere just not the normal churchs you see in human areas. Most the xpacs still have religion just not so much the church of light in bc we went to outland and mostly see draenei and orcish buildings and orcs have their own gods but also deal alot with shamanism and draeni do worship the light but mostly directly at the naruu who we do meet. Lich king you didn’t see much since it was mostly forward war bases but you seen alot of the cult of the damned who worshiped undeath and the lich king (and we did have the one scarlet crusade area). Cata was mostly revamping the world in a destroyed state so not much added on the front. Pandaria while no churchs of light added monasteries for monks which was the main culture of pandarians and we even met their gods which were the celestials and were wild gods, warlords we seen mostly draenei and orcish areas again. legion we seen mostly vulkul, elven and tauren settlements in which vulkul are very much norse inspirted while elven is for elune and tauren their own ancestors. Bfa the latest shows alot in forms of troll and kul’tiran which has their own as well as the trolls worship loa (that we meet) and see areas of worship everywhere and the kul’tirans mostly worship the sea and all of their dialog shows this except in drustvar which has a witch based theme. Religion exists in all parts of wow just they are all very different we don’t see alot of churchs since its mostly humans who worship the light in that manner and everything past vanilla zones are either different species or any human bases are setup for war.

The Kul’Tirans are incredibly religious, the majority of the zone storyline in Stormsong is about their religion. Shrine of the Storm is functionally their church.

Drustvar is another zone that is largely based on a religion of sorts, much akin to Wicca in real life.

The Zandalari Trolls (and all the trolls, for that matter), are heavily based in religion, with the Loa featuring heavily in the entirety of the continent’s storylines and into the raids.

As in real life, different religions practice differently. It would be strange for a church of the light to show up anywhere on the most recent expansion, since extremely few of its denizens follow a religion based on it. There are plenty of church-like entities.

Yeah it is, sounds like an undead just doesn’t want to be properly buried and sanctified. :angry:

Tidesages and Light are two complete different thing man.

I mean thats kinda the point? Kul’tirans worship the sea not the light so it makes sense their areas of worship are different. If blizzard ever adds a zone with a more permanent human settlement (or atleast ones from stormwind) I would be shocked to not see a church just up to this point we have dealt mostly with other races or war settlements so they aren’t in that many places due to that.

Stormguard would have benefit of one, however.

China doesn’t like churches.

No, not really. It was clearly a space ship.

that makes sense to me, there’s much better chicken places than churches

zaxby’s is really good

That is what we Tauren refer to a headbut.

Well in shadowlands we get the church of scientology with the kyrian, so that should be interesting.

Less light worship, more respecting your Ancestors.

Because there would be tons of why isn’t my religion represented and I’m offended by this religion or that religion.

Why not just steer clear of it and avoid the controversy. Most of the religious stuff I notice was in game before the I’m offended by everything crowd popped up.
