Holy League

The Holy League is a military coalition founded by the See of Stormwind and the College of Canons.

History and Mission
After years of assault on the Church of the Holy Light in the north by the Undercity Nexus, Dominion of the Sun, Dawnfury Concordant, and others, the Holy League was founded in the wake of the death of Archbishop Columban V and by the urging of Johannes Moorwhelp in order to exact justice on and ensure pro bono safety against orders it deems as violent and radically against the Church of the Holy Light.

Johannes Moorwhelp, having heard Columban V prophesize his own death, went to various orders with varied backgrounds to quietly rally support for what he was sure would be a cataclysmic war.

Current Events
The Holy League is, as of yet, unable to see progress with its mission. The administration of the League remains industrious in lobbying various orders and secure the wealth that will be needed to ensure the success of campaigns in the Lordaeron subcontinent.

The Holy League supports and intends to engage in the March on the Highlands in order to secure Stromgarde as a bastion of strength in the north, prove its self to skeptic orders who might join their cause, and launch its campaigns against the northern threats.

Diplomatic Complications
The Holy League's mission has been explicitly declined by the Independent Paladin Assembly, the Council of Bishops, and the Arathi War Council. Despite innumerable war crimes, the public is largely indifferent to the council and its mission, and even the current membership in the Holy League is secured loosely and transactionally.

The College of Canons requires a dispensation from the local ordinary to operate in other dioceses. So far, the Diocese of Gnomeregan, the Diocese of Alterac, and the Diocese of Gilneas have agreed to allow the Holy League to pass through their jurisdiction.

The Diocese of Lordaeron, headed by former cathedral almoner Niklos Adamant, and the Diocese of Stromgarde, headed by Allrick Antonius, have both neglected to grant the Holy League and the College of Canons passage at the present time.
