Orgins
Gauldrin was born in Brill to a knight and Preistess of the Light he was raised under thier beliefs before being orphaned during the First War at the age of six. He worshipped at the Cathedral of Light everyday during his stay in Stormwind. He was squired at the age of fifteen by one of the city guards. Uther the Lightbringer became his personal hero after leanring of his exploits. at the age of eighteen he left the orphanage and pursued the path to becoming a renowned paladin. He enjoyed his warrings against the demons and undead and served during the Third War at the age of thirty-nine, and learning the history of his roots. After the war he returned with many of his brothers to Stormwind and adopted an older orphan there. Soon after he donned a set of runed armor and was corrupted by the shadowgem within. Abandoning his new orphan he cast away his hammer and took up an axe for the viceral feeling when slaughtering his foes. Often started fights in taverns and inciting tensions between the Alliance and the Horde he eventually succumbed to arrgoance and lost his life at the gates of Orgrimmar. He was ressurected in Deathknell by Undertaker Mordo and his sanity was restored although he hated his new plight and believed he didn't deserve life. A year passed and he took his own life in the same crypt he awoke, binding himself to a soulstone to warn the world from his own experiences. The soulstone was found in the Exodar landing site by a Draenei freshly awake from the crash. The Draenei unknowingly bound himself to the soul trapped inside, and he became the host of Gauldrin's spirit. Gauldrin was confused at first, thinking the stone was destroyed and that this new place and strange beings were part of the afterlife. Sometime after this Gauldrin was ressurected by the Holy Light fantasticlly as it's first true paladin. His body burst into existance above Northshire Abbey, Naked and floating in the sky. He began a slow decent, Judgment Armor being bestoed upon him, and the appearance of a new maul. He saves the hammer for the great enemies of the Light, and instead uses a sword and shield.
