Columban Blackmoore

Saint Columban Blackmoore was born in Upper Lordaeron to devout parents, Adrian and Eleanore Blackmoore. Upon his birth, his mother Eleanore proposed to name her son in honor the reigning Archbishop of the time, Columban IV. At the recommendation of his parents, when Columban was of age, he enrolled himself in the seminary program of the Tirisfal Archabbey where he excelled in philosophical studies. Upon his ordination, Columban was assigned to teach in the Archabbey. However, soon after his assignment to the position, a new Archabbot was elected who disapproved of Columban's more traditional teachings. Columban was dismissed from his post and assigned to the Parish chuch of Vandermar Village.
