Turalyon

Titles

What they called him

Offices, not another biography. The life those offices come from is the chronicle.

A young Turalyon in blue priest’s robes and a brown cloak, one fist raised in a burst of Light, a sword at his hip, standing before a bright window.

Priest

Church of the Holy Light, Capital City. He healed, he studied, and he had not yet felt the power he already served. Faol kept him close enough to change the assignment.

Before the plate. Hearthstone Book of Heroes. Blizzard Entertainment.

Turalyon in Lightforged plate stands in a stone courtyard between mounted knights. Banners behind him show a silver fist.

Knight of the Silver Hand

One of Faol’s first five, with Uther, Saidan Dathrohan, Tirion Fordring, and Gavinrad the Dire. The only one of them who came to the sword from the altar.

With the Silver Hand. World of Warcraft. Blizzard Entertainment.

Pixel portrait of Turalyon: swept blond hair, glowing eyes, and a hard profile against a purple ground.

Lothar’s lieutenant

Second to the Supreme Commander of the Alliance of Lordaeron. Lothar wanted faith that could still think in the middle of a battle. The lieutenant thought the choice was a mistake until Blackrock proved it was a succession plan.

Warcraft II portrait. Warcraft II: Reforged. Blizzard Entertainment.

Turalyon in a red cloak stands above a crowd of armored leaders in a banner-hung hall, fist raised, mouth open in a speech.

Supreme Commander

Named by the monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms after he took up Lothar’s broken sword and finished the Second War. He spent the peace rebuilding Stormwind for Varian.

The Council of Seven Nations. Abe Taraky, World of Warcraft: Chronicle Volume 2, 2017. Blizzard Entertainment.

The Sons of Lothar charge a green portal. Turalyon rides at the upper right, Alleria draws a bow, Khadgar reaches with a staff, and a gryphon rider climbs the sky.

High General of the Sons of Lothar

Leader of the expedition through the Dark Portal. The title is a promise to a dead man. The expedition kept the promise and lost him anyway, through a rift, when Draenor tore.

Beyond the Dark Portal. Peter Lee, 2016. Blizzard Entertainment.

Close portrait of Turalyon with white hair, a scarred cheek, and eyes glowing gold, framed by the plates of his armor.

High Exarch

Xe’ra’s rank for him in the Army of the Light, after she forged him past an ordinary death. He is still High Exarch when he is also everything else. The Light’s army does not retire its officers.

Lightforged. World of Warcraft: Legion. Blizzard Entertainment.

Paladins and warriors charge out of a beam of Light into a mass of void creatures with blue fire and black claws. Fallen fighters lie on a red and gold floor.

Lord Commander

Anduin’s appointment after the Fourth War: command of the Alliance forces, with the capture of Sylvanas Windrunner as the work in front of it. Midnight still addresses him by this title at the Sunwell.

Hope Shall Rise. Key art for the Vanguard of the Light. Blizzard Entertainment.

Turalyon sits the lion throne in Stormwind Keep, gold plate bright, hands on his knees, blue carpet at his feet.

Regent of Stormwind

Held with the House of Nobles while Anduin was the Maw’s prisoner. A protector’s chair, not a new dynasty. When he leaves for the Sunwell, the published novel puts Genn in the city and does not pretend the crown has been simple.

Regent. World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. Blizzard Entertainment.
