So, I’m considering roleplaying one, but 1st I thought it would be nice to submit the concept here to see if someone can help with any inconsistencies:
- 25k years of fighting… The Lightforged increase their ranks by reproduction? Or simply enlisting other beings (mostly regular draenei) to lightforge? I think it’s hinted that T’paartos come from Draenor, so he got enlisted at some point.
I was thinking about my LF background being a person that was born and raised aboard the Xenadar, so the whole storyline of it finally discovering a “regular planet” in Azeroth could be interesting to take.
-
The draenei that go through the lightforging process need to be a capable fighter? I see a lot of technicians aboard the Vindicaar, but not sure if they are exactly combat units or just inventors/artificers.
-
Any idea on how big, canonically, the Army of Light is? Hundreds?
-
This was very unclear to me, if when you create your LFD, the character is a regular draenei that lived with the AoL and finally got to pass the test and lightforge, or if it is an Azerothian draenei that requested to join and pass the trial? … Or it’s implicit that can be either?
Thanks a lot for any information! I would also appreciate if someone could point a LFD roleplaying resource that is not the wowpedia.
It’s “regular” Draenei that undergoes a Trial and become lightforged… I would guess reproduction would wield regular spawn.
Don’t need to be capable fighters just be able to do the Trial and don’t succumb to darkness during it (like the T’paartos scenario shows)
Not that big of an army anymore hence why the are recruiting “us” I guess…
We as LFD are from Argus.
There has to be a smallish amount of them because at one point not very long ago, they all fit inside the genedar.
Also, unrelated, lightforged cannot have the no horn style like this dk is rocking, and the males horns do not ho through helms when equipping or xmoging. I think the female lfd horns go through helms. Might be related to armor type since the horns i saw peeking through were a leather class and mine was plate class.
But we know how many people the Draenei ships can support? Because ingame scaling of towns, etc is not always canonically accurate.
True, but the largest dimensional ships are tempest keep and the genedar.
The exodar and the xenadar are satellite ships from the dimensional fortresses.
The vindicaar is a much smaller variety ship, that the draenei built to get the survivors of the legions assault back to Argus.
I’m trying to pull off a roleplaying character that is a LFD inventor (artificer), creator of holy powered gadgets and weaponry, sort of making something like an artificial paladin that uses this tech to augment otherwise regular-at-best powers.
But I’m finding this SO hard… I can’t seem to be able to procure a good source on how the Army of Light tech gets to be, because all the representations ingame never get to detail about them.
Many questions:
- How the Draenei ships actually make people survive in orbit? I suppose stuff like gravity and heat (because space is cold, right) is handled by the magic crystals? But how about oxygen?
- How in fact the LFD power their machines? We see them using in Drustvar assaults… They are powered by hoarded argunite still? Or a Lightforged can channel holy magic to power them?
- Long-distance communication exist within their tech? I know it’s canonical that gnomes can use radio, but no idea how these Draenei work with such a thing…
This is answered in the Draenei starting zone. Think Starwars where there is a hologram of the people talking to each other.
But how they work? Magically, or there is some kind of powered console? These kinds of details are what I’m hungry for…
Crystal powered console. Oddly enough, crystals providing electricity is a known thing longer than I have been alive. Remember, most of the ships are Naruu Technology, bot Draenei.
That’s not exactly an interstellar range of communication.
Doesn’t have to be when you are on the same planet, or orbiting it for that matter. People with ham radios talk to the ISS as it is now.
Have you seen those setups? They’re not exactly trivial affairs.
Yes I have, used one once as well. But that’s besides the point.
