Thero'shan

Thero'shan is an honorific term meaning "Honored Student" in Darnassian. It is used to refer to a Student or Disciple in the Night Elven language. The term Thero'shan is an old one, dating back before the War of the Ancients. It gained its greatest usage after the War of the Ancients as it began to become synonymous with students of the Druidic arts. Its complimentary term is "Shan'do."

Usage by Druids
Druids often refer to their students as "Thero'shan." It is a highly respectful term used to demonstrate the close tie between Mentor and Student that mirrors the Druid's tie between nature and themselves.

Usage by Demon Hunters
Demon Hunters use the term "Thero'shan" to refer to their disciples. Demon Hunters often train with their Shan'do alone and may go for years without seeing another mortal being in society. As such, a Thero'shan and their Mentor will develop a close relationship, and owe their Mentors their dedication as their Shan'do's owe them instruction.
