Tragjaan
Agent of the Lightbound
Evil isn't always in purple. Sometimes it's draped in gold and light with a sense of purpose that is blinding to all. I first heard about the Lightbound when I finally got did the Mag'har stuff to get them as an ally race for the Horde. They were actually what I thought the Army of Light would turn out to be in the main timeline.
Arriving as saviors during Legion, only to see corruption in everything with a need to cleanse it from all for the 'good' of the world. But they didn't want to go that deep and my hopes for a 'Blinded by the Light' story arc just became an arc I wanted.
I also wanted the Army of Light to be like the Roman empire cruising the galaxy and conscripting all sorts of races to their banner to fight in the crusade. Some by choice and others not so much, like what they tried with Illidian. But that didn't happen either. Generic space good guy army. But enter roleplay and my own stories. I do what a want.
Just gotta do it. And I didn't.
Another alt idea in the basket to wait for me to get manic crazy over again.

Fingers would gently push aside the hair of the young dwarf, face tear streaked and plastered in soot. She looked terrified. The armored cowl of the draenei looked down upon her with silent judgement. "There there, little one. You will be safe."
"But me home," the dwarf would whisper as she looked about the burned out hovel of stone homes deep within the Hinterlands. The Wildhammers had called this place home for so long and lived in relative peace just the same. What had they done to deserve this?
The glowing wings of the helm tilted to one side as the fingers continued to stroke her hair with the gentleness of a father. "I am sorry for your home. But I promise you, it will be better soon."
"You know why," as the draenei motioned behind her toward the stakes being lifted. To each was pinned the motionless form of a tattooed dwarf, their bodies covered in wounds and beards shorn clean. "They tempted fates that they have no place touching. They were not meant to bring such blasphemy to this place."
The tears came more freely as the dwarf buried her face in her hands, the gauntleted hand coming to rest on her shaking head. "Fret not child, you are still young. You are still pure. You will see our righteous path and you will know it's hard road."
"You will walk beside us," a glow began to escape his hand as the metal fingers curled into the braids. "You will see the Light."
She wished she could scream.
