On our adventures in Shadowlands we are meeting many of the heroes and villains of the past. Some of my favorites are present, but others I really rooted for are sadly not. Among them is Vindicator Maraad, one of my all time favorite characters in the Warcraft universe. So I present you with this tribute to remind us that "In the Light, we are one..."

Vindicator Maraad was a warrior of faith, but also a man of action. Where others held back and hesitated, he struck , always on the offense and always on the frontlines. A resolute soldier and a stalwart and fierce warrior of light, who has been haunted by his past failings. He embodied the strength, resolve and righteousness of a true paladin, and his mighty hammer served swift punishment to those who would threaten his people.

His crusade saw him protect his people across countless worlds, battle the Horde, the Undead Scourge and the Burning Legion. It finally ended on Draenor, where he gave his light to protect fellow paladin, Yrel.

I have greatly enjoyed working on this piece, despite it taking a bit longer than usual. I hope you like the final outcome!
