User:Jantharria

Jantharria is a Blood Elf who is best known for her charity work alongside her prodigal talent and unique style of mending wounds and fixing bodies. Her most famous work lies in her uncanny ability to maintain peace in between brutal factions, and her most infamous event in which she found an alternative way to grant herself sight after being blinded.

Early Life and Childhood
Jantharria was the youngest daughter of Jolie Lightweave and Runastus Varan, and a sister to the elder child Hanorian L'oreine Varan. Born in the south-western regions of Quel'thalas, Jantharria's beginning years in life were moderately normal and uneventful. At the age of nine, the Second War took place in which her brother Hanorian was sent off to aid the humans with the Orcish outbreaks. It was in this event, Hanorian had lost his life(or so it was assumed). With the supposed death of Hanorian, Jolie and Runastus were so grieved, they allowed the prosperous and wealthy head mistress of the Lightweaves, Jinala, to take Jantharria into her custody and raise her as her own. Under Jinala's custody, Jantharria had the ideal childhood, filled with the best studies, food, clothing, homing and care money could buy. However the cost was a brutal infliction of punishment from Jinala had Jantharria even considered stepping out of line. It was not until Jantharria had met the mother-figure's eldest son, Valomeous Lightweave, that any notable events occurred in her life.

Early Career in the Light and Dealings With the Blood Knight's
Around the time Jantharria was barely reaching womanhood (roughly around a late adolescent age racket), she was entered into the order of the Blood Knights alongside Valomeous by Jinala. It was with this event, Jantharria had been introduced to the outside, real world. Naturally, by her upbringing with Jinala, Jantharria's attitude was nothing less than bitter and hostile to those who were not of noble blood. In her training with the Blood Knight's, she had shown exceptional talent in the clerical aspects, but a weakness in physical attributes, thus causing her to fall behind on many of her courses. Finally after a good while, Jantharria nearly made it to the ranks of a full-fledged knight before everything toppled down; The stresses of familial affairs, the rebelling Valomeous, the suppressing guilt of sucking the life and energy out of the Naaru, M'uru; everything. It was then Jantharria denounced any relation to the Blood Knights and even the Lightweaves. With this,Jantharria's heart changed completely, and she left the Quel'thalas region to wander about the Eastern Kingdoms on her own in search for something that might fill the void which ate away at her heart.

Life After Denouncement
Having made her stand against the forces of her inner and outer turmoil, Jantharria wandered the land for nearly four years or so before returning home to Quel'thalas. It was during this wandering period which she came to a peace within herself, learning to follow the teachings of the Light while visiting one of the more obscure churches connected to the Church of the Light. Jantharria had cried out and wept in this time, swearing that the would no longer judge any one person and never again would she use the Light as a tool, but rather ask for it's empowerment only to serve the people to strengthen her bond with the universe, and even attempt to further other people's bonds. The priests in the church had heard and seen her cries, and finally came to an agreement to let Jantharria stay amongst them to be taught the ways of the true Light without stealing from any being, and thus invited her to live the life of a priesthood. Without question, Jantharria took the invitation, and carried out many given assignments by the churches higher ranking members (such as an abbot). Showing such enthusiasm in her work, and her diligent learning in the sermons, the higher ranking church members thought it best she carry out on her own by attending the caravans hosted by the church to aid the sick and wounded locally. It was here, Jantharria began her career as a medic. Showing once more her exceptional skills in the field of medicinal work and clerical duties, Jantharria became more and more known to the other Light-followers, and she soon became more and more sought after.

When Jantharria would take leave for a short while from her duties on the caravans, she would often return to her home in the Quel'thalas region. However, coming here was taking a big risk, as many of the Blood Knight's remembered Jantharria, and threatened her with her life, naming her a traitor. Feeling unwelcome, she then took her leave never staying more than a day or so.

Illness and Infliction
Sometime in her priesthood, Jantharria was working in a plagued area of people;Stranglethorn Vale while traveling with a charity caravan to aid these people. After her visit to Stranglethorn Vale, she returned back home. It was during this time she had met a medic within her field, known as Zeza Zefferman. The two would work long and endless shifts, day in and day out, and he would train her carefully during this time. However, one day, the old medic, Zeza, noticed a peculiar sort of growth on Jantharria's hand. Upon further inspection, she had them all over her body. Every day which passed, she grew more and more ill, and she was relieved from her post from working with the ill and wounded to take care of herself. The disease would not leave her body, thus she called upon the help of Zefferman to aid her.

All the things which he had tried failed. Cutting her open, sewing her back up... But all had ultimately failed. But there was one last thing which may have just worked.

With little time to spare, Zefferman and Varan ventured to Kalimdor on the zeppelin, finding their way to a locally renowned druid. The druid studied the case, and tried many natural remedies, eventually reversing the affects of the disease. However, on account of these remedies, side affects had also been included...



Within a matter of a few days, Jantharria lost not only her sight, but skin and hair pigment, nearly her ability to touch and smell, and had grown almost entirely deaf.

Curing and Reunion
In her blindness and weakness, Jantharria grew devout in her faith, and began to find that following the Three Virtues was becoming simpler and simpler, a nature of her had developed in this. While she was out journeying and spending time practicing her healing arts, she somehow converted the Light's energy into a sufficient restorative utility, used to grant Jantharria an alternative sight, temporarily allowing her to be able to see. Upon her arrival to the elven capital of Silvermoon City, Jantharria came across a peculiar Knight who had called himself "Han', but "had no recollection of himself" for he rather would refuse for any information to be given. The meeting of this man drove Jantharria nearly crazy, as the man was the spitting image of her blood brother, Hanorian(or at least what she could remember of him). Finally by the time Jantharria had confronted him, he came to her, ready to confront her with the good news that he had finally 'remembered' who he was and where he came from. The reunion was happy for a short while before the two mourned that Hanorian had lost any connection he had with his family.

The First Calling From the Church
Arguably, Jantharria's first calling came when she denounced her relation to the Blood Knight's and Lightweaves to have a steadfast faith in the teachings of the Light. However, Jantharria's first 'real' calling came to her when she was out taking a stroll in her homeland in the Eversong Woods, when she was alerted by a dear friend that she had received mail. Now this letter was rather particular, as it was written by someone within the priesthood, though there was no return address. It read : "We have heard of your great acts of love, respect, tenacity, compassion and devotion. The risks you have taken are notable unto the priests throughout Azeroth, and your brothers and sisters in the Church wish to grant you our respects for your good deeds. Meet us at Light's Hope Chapel, where there we shall see you face to face.  Quite baffled, Jantharria had no absolutely no qualms, but saw this as an adventure. Quickly she made her way through the Quel'thalas region, though cautious in her steps through the Eastern Plaguelands until she would finally have met the few priests and priestess' gathered around inside the old chapel. They bestowed upon her a staff and holy garments which would protect her against the evils of the world, and they had all prayed shortly after. Jantharria was so thrilled for the short while that she had once more met with the priests of the Church, that it was then that she decided any money she would make, would be donated to it.

From that point forward she was recognized as an official priest by the Church, and others.

Faith Wavering
While staying an extended period in Silvermoon City and her homeland of Quel'thalas, Jantharria grew very irritated with the locals and people in which she diligently served. Upon her frustrations, great stresses were thrown upon her, and it suppressed her to such an extent, she had gained a temporary depression. Grieved, mad, frustrated, solemn and without hope, Jantharria allowed the manifestation of her inner turmoil to consume her. Word had gotten back to the elders and priests of the Church of the Light,and try as they may to help the woman, she would refuse anything that had to do with her faith and the teachings. With hearing this, Zefferman quickly set off to find his close friend, Jantharria. Jantharria however had not taken as kindly to his arrival as he would have hoped, but nonetheless he treated the situation in the only way he knew how; With extensive care and a tough love.' Zefferman defeated Jantharria in a battle (which miss Varan engaged in), and had brought her back to her senses which forced her to drop her inner and outer turmoil with her eyes which suddenly opened. Zefferman and Jantharria spent a great deal of time together afterward, it was then, he took Jantharria under his wing and treated her as a sort of student in the ways of life and medical arts for real.

Healing Methods and Clinical Work
Jantharria for a short while in Silvermoon City and Shattrath City. The customers had reached anywhere from young trainees in the order of the Blood Knights or Farstriders, or even to lieutenants and colonels in the Horde army, down to refugees and orphans. (It was in the Shattrath Clinic that she had met Grunka, an Orc orphan who she would later adopt as her daughter)

Because of her past of healing and mending, spending much of her days on a caravan with the Church of the Light, she is not only skilled in mending with the powers of the Light, but she also holds a distinctive style. While many of the easier ways to mend things lies within her ability to harness the Light, she often resorts to using a more practical method, one she learned from studying under Zeza and the Apothecaries in the Undercity. In this style she relies heavily on alchemical means and hands-on interaction with the actual parts of the body; such as nerves, tendons, intestines or even the spinal cord. For this, she is credited as one of the better clerics of her time, for having knowledge in both the ways of mending with the Light, and the ways of fixing the body without the Light.

Her primary methods use heat, thread, and alchemical mixtures.

The Ambitious Priestess
One morning while Jantharria gazed upon the sunrise, she found something rather peculiar. Other than her calling and devotion to the teachings and her clerical work, she would have found her most beloved blessing: "With the sunrise came a refreshing feeling. For I knew that as the sun would rise in the morning, there was hope for us all, even if there was apparently nothing left."

At that point Jantharria spent long hours in meditation, as her mind and body would not settle until she figured out what it was that suddenly overcame her. In between her meditation, when she carried on in her work she found the people around her, anywhere she went, to be scattered...hostile...vengeance stricken. With the war waging in the frigid lands of Northrend, and the people left at home, everyone was truly bothered.

The young priestess began to question world-wide, how the people acted and considered all the warfare in the surrounding lands. In between both Horde and Alliance, Furblog to Furblog, Centaurs and their brothers, and even the ancient souls of the exotic, foreign lands. So much war had waged, yet was there anyone to help stop this?

Jantharria decided that it was there she found her purpose, to bring forth peace and shed light into the dark times and far reaches of the land when no one else would. "But assuredly there would be another just like me..." she would always think to herself.

From that point forward she put her foot down and began to devote all of her time to organizing an order which would be dedicated to peace and spreading it throughout the land. The Order of Peace(or better known at The Sacred Morning) was then made official, and the woman worked as hard as she could to get the word out. The Order had grown fast and strong, and the young Jantharria would always tell her brothers within the order "Even if all we can do is spread the good ways of peace to only one person at a time...we must remain patient. For that one person is a seed who will one day develop a vine."

The Order of Peace was independent for a long while, and all races and factions were welcome to it. The only code was that 'By your sincerity you will set aside your differences to make a difference in this war-torn world", and thus far, everyone has been very true to their word. The Order quickly gained recognition from many, as they performed great acts of charity and will have plans to continue on in their way through the Campaigns of Peace to serve as an offensive against the dark corners of Azeroth to spread the love and kindness and patience of mankind.

With careful consideration, the Order of Peace was made an off-branch in hopes to spread the Three Virtues and teachings of the Light to the members of the Horde, and serves as a missionary experiment to the Church of the Light for all who wish to join. Therefor the Church and the Order of Peace are now affiliated, and considered entirely neutral.
