The Tome of Divinity

In all things, a paladin must reflect the Light which supplements our strength. To strive to be divine for one of our kind does not mean we strive for godhood--we strive to be good in all actions.

Although called upon to smite evil in these harsh times, you must always remember that it's aiding others that will truly set you apart from the citizens of Azeroth. Compassion, patience, bravery--these things mean as much to a paladin as strength in battle.

Know this well, and never forget it.

Welcome back, <name>. You've spent time reading the book, I hope?

Then you should be prepared to have yourself tested. There are always tasks to be done throughout the city and our lands; acts of compassion and understanding; people who need help; creatures to slay.

By proving you have the patience to help others, especially those who are less fortunate, you prove that you are a servant of the Light and of sound mind.
