Losaine Morningray

Words of the High Cleric
"Our people need a voice to lead them, not by might or wit, but spiritual wisdom. Thus is my charge within the Highguard, I seek to lead my friends and comrades through even the darkest days."

"I do not see why I must wear shoes. Unless my blessings and virtues are solely dependent on if I am wearing something on my feet or not, I just do not see it."

Brief Beginnings
Losaine Morningray of Quel'thalas was, even at a young age, gifted in the healing arts. Born to a loving mother and father, who to this day she regrets not having better relations with, she was always assumed to have taken up the mantle of a Ranger or perhaps an arcanist. Yet, no matter what task she performed with skill, her clerical attributes seemed to just sign brighter.

For years, she spent her days studying and practicing her healings and blessings, taking after her mentors with diligence and understanding. She very quickly became a skilled cleric of her home of Quel'thalas. However, because of her young age, she was never fully admitted to be a official position of reverance.

Living a simple life, the elven cleric would go about her day acting out her duties and aiding anyone she could from a more spiritual level. This would be routine for her, and she had no issue with this. All of this changed, however, when her home was invaded by the forces of the Scourge. A dark event in her life that to this day haunts her, she was one of those who instead fled her home and travelled south, in hopes of finding refuge and a new place to call home. Despite this search, she will always consider Quel'thalas her home.

It wasn't long that Losaine found herself in Stormwind, and would spend her time there serving the Cathedral of Holy Light and on the side training for battle. She quickly adopted a style of combat that allowed her to be on the front lines while at the same time supporting her allies as a cleric.

The Highguard and Racism
Upon entering the Stormwind Cathedral one morning, Losaine went about her duties as normal. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, yet when she went to leave, she was stopped by a Sin'dorei in plate armor wearing an Argent Crusade insignia. The woman introduced herself as Ilidrel, giving no surname. They spoke a short time and it was revealed that there was an order known as The Highguard that served as a mutual presence of Quel'dorei interests and their service to the Alliance with the help of their allies. Interested by this, Losaine was then introduced to their leader, Ranger Lady Aeriyth Dawnsorrow.

Losaine spoke openly of her desire to serve with her people on the front lines as a battle cleric, and was soon inducted into the order as the newest addition thus far. This could not have been a more opportune time, for she was quickly deployed to aid in a confrontation with a group of rebels. Working well with her new allies, Losaine found herself at home.

Upon returning to Stormwind, she was once again approached by the Sin'dorei, an Argent Ambassador to the Highguard. Ilidrel and Losaine spoke for a short while, before the Argent proposed she buy her lunch. Losaine, not one to turn down a request of kindness, accepted this offer warily. During this interaction, it was revealed the woman had a distinct interest in Losaine, and having mixed feelings herself Losaine was not sure how to take this. At first, she would decline because Ilidrel was Sin'dorei, a nasty spell of racist behavior shining through.

This prejudicial attitude shines again when Losaine has a bit of a spat with an Ebon Blade Ambassador. Losaine and the Death Knight begin to argue, the situation escalating to a point where even when the ambassador wishes to back away to avoid conflict, Losaine is heated and ready to fight. As the impending scuffle is dismissed by Lady Dawnsorrow, Losaine cannot help but express her feelings and desire to lead the Quel'dorei people in a spiritual way. Thus the ultimatum is proposed to her: a position of High Cleric of The Highguard, in exchange for her giving up her racist tendencies. To this she accepts, and in a short time, assumes the mantle of High Cleric.
