  "It's hard to fight your own battle, when your enemy is yourself, when you are your own worst enemy"
-Thylenia Hopeglare


The senior priestess, Thylenia Hopeglare, was a beacon of light in the eyes of silvermoon's citizens.
She healed the injured both physically and mentally, ensuring their full recovery.
She was born in winterbreeze village, on the outskirts of Silvermoon, and realized her connection to the light at a very young age, which separated her from the rest of the children,only to be raised differently and alone, separated from the rest.
She was slowly molded into the perfect leader for their faith, she bacame an unwavering bulwark of faith.
Yet,she was obsessed with getting rid of darkness.
She knew that everyone had darkness within them, she treated it as a disease that had to be eradicated.
It didn't take her long before realizing that even she had dark desires in her heart,it became something that she refused to accept, she refused to accept that darkness that made her who she was, even if she didn't realize it at the time. She wanted it gone, she wanted to heal everyone, and how would she do it if she had this darkness inside her? Those dark desires were always trying to tempt her, to overthrow her love for life.

She spent most of her life trying to develop a "cure" to the darkness that taunted her in her dreams.
She would eventually find it . . . And regret ever trying to get rid of something that made her who she was.
