==History==
===Legion===
Following the Battle for Broken Shore, Alonsus Faol came into contact with a priest hero by sending a Hooded Priestess to invite them at Faol's Rest in Tirisfal Glades, in order to organize a stronger resistance to the Legion threat. There, the priest hero met Alonsus Faol accompanied by Calia Menethil, the undead introduced himself as having formerly been a leader of a church, a mindless minion of the Scourge, and a commander in a secret war, but always as a priest first. As the Legion poses a threat that cannot be ignored, he decided to step out from the shadows, believing that they must unite priesthoods of all denominations against their common enemy, before asking them if they were ready to act as their champion.Priestly Matters
After the priest hero agreed, Alonsus Faol sent them on a mission to obtain the legendary artifacts that are T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire, and Light's Wrath, in order for them to face the trials ahead.A Legend You Can Hold
After successfully recovering them, the priest hero met Velen who want to take them somewhere, but before that, he explained that over the long years of the draenei's flight from the Burning Legion, the naaru helped them, sometimes at the cost of their very lives, and they would have perished without their aid. At last, they found a way to repay their kindness, after discovering a naaru that had turned to the void, they decided to build a prison to contain the Void god, known as Saraka the Lighteater, and study the fallen creature. A place to commune with the naaru and ponder the nature of the Twisting Nether, the Netherlight Temple. There the draenei sought to devise a ritual that could turn the naaru back to the Light, to aid their quest Alonsus Faol called together many priests to work in unison, purifying the naaru Saa'ra with the help of the priest hero, and bringing it back to the Light. Following this success, Alonsus Faol announced the creation of the Conclave as every priesthoods from all over Azeroth have agreed to donate time and resources to this new order, with a singular purpose: the defeat of the Burning Legion.The Light and the Void
During the Burning Legion's third invasion, the Conclave transformed the prison into a temple that will serve as the headquarters of their campaign, Alonsus Faol notably managed to borrow one of the dwarves' foremost experts on artifice and enchanting, Betild Deepanvil,Artifacts Need Artificers in order to empower their artifacts.Empowering Your Artifact The Conclave then began to mobilize their priests on the Broken Isles,Spread the Word (priest quest)Relieving the Front Lines (quest) where they notably save Archon Torias, a skilled researcher whose knowledge extends far beyond light and shadow who agreed to lend his expertise to their cause.Troops in the Field (priest) Subsequently the Conclave organized the recruitment of champions, especially Calia Menethil and High Priestess Ishanah,Champion: Calia MenethilChampion: High Priestess Ishanah but also the recruitment of new troops such as Group of Acolytes and Netherlight Paragons formed by Grand Anchorite Gesslar, who pledged his service to the order,Recruiting the Troops (priest) Band of Zealots and Dark Zealots formed by Vicar Eliza, who commanding countless devotees that do her bidding without question,Recruiting More Troops (priest) and finally Hooded Priests recruited by High Priestess Mourn.
After one of their shadow priest, Gilner Greymoss, fell into madness within the Sanctuary of the Void, the priests of the Conclave learned from the latter that the Void had warned him of their fate, a gruesome death.Whispers in the Void Despite Alonsus' reluctance to believe the gnome, Velen asked the priest hero to join Zabra Hexx and Yalia Sagewhisper in Azsuna, so that they create an elixir to induce a vision in order to find out whether the shadow priest is lying or not.The Best and Brightest After saving Zabra caught by a basilisk's gaze and Yalia captured by a herd a murlocs, while they were delivering antidotes to the front lines of Faronaar,Murloc Mind Control the priest hero brought the Felbat Toxin Salve (use) to cure the demon hunters at Faronaar Front,Problem Salver before bringing the elixir and the Lens of the Tide to the Prophet.Problem Salver In his vision, the Conclave learned that the dreadlord Balnazzar intended to attack the Netherlight Temple with his armies of demons, but that the hero priest would guide them to victory, all unite under the Light.Velen's Vision

They managed to stop and save Mariella the Heretic from her execution, while the latter decided to prove that she was worthy of a second chance by rallying and freeing other supporters of his cause,Apostate Liberation and killing a large number of members of the Scarlet Onslaught.Scarlet Redemption After having managed to escape, Mariella Ward went to the Netherlight Temple with the priest hero, begging the forgiveness of Alonsus Faol by claiming to want to support the cause of the Conclave against the Burning Legion as new allies, what Alonsus ends up accepting in the face of the crisis they are facing. At the same time Delas Moonfang urgently presented herself to them, explaining that she has been working with Aponi Brightmane and the leader of her order, and that they have translated a codex that details the Legion's plans to establish an invasion point at Felblaze Ingress. She then requested permission to be able to take a small group of priests to accompany the paladins in their search of this demon world, in order to find Balnazzar, which Alonsus also approved.Unexpected Guests
After fulfilling the first part of the prophecy, Alonsus Faol sent the priest hero to the Raven Hill Cemetery in Duskwood, in order to restore the Cult of Forgotten Shadows by helping few remaining followers of the cult near the grave of their fallen leader. They met Micah Belford who explained that they were never been ones to follow the Light, at least not in the way that most would want them to, as they embrace the Shadows, finding their faith in the balance between both extremes.Forgotten Shadows Micah Belford subsequently requested the help of the priest hero to recover Natalie's Journal, in which she noted a spell to sent her spirit to an unknown location of the Void when she knew about her inevitable death for her beliefs, however, the tome has since fallen into the hands of those who wished her dead in the first place.Secrets of the Void (quest)
