Tauren Paladins are an established feature in retail, but in Classic, paladins can only be played by Alliance races: Humans and Dwarves. Could this change in the future? Recent lore hints suggest that at least one Tauren Paladin already exists in Season of Discovery.
Warning: Season of Discovery Spoilers Ahead
Brave Stonetorch and An'she, the Tauren Sun God
In Phase 1 of Season of Discovery, as part of the method to obtain powerful Void-Touched gear, players visited the Shard of Pure Light, a powerful source of Light in order to destroy
. On the way to the shard, Alliance players could meet a human from the Argent Dawn named Ardelle Dralta, but Horde players could meet a Tauren - Brave Stonetorch - who would speak about a shard of Light being from An'she, the Tauren sun god.
Now that I've seen this land and have heard the sound of the earth here, I think I am glad I made the journey.
Ah, forgive me. I am thinking aloud. I am called Stonetorch, and I come here seeking knowledge of a brilliant white stone that some say fell from the sky and came to rest in the hills over yonder. Some among my people believe that this is a tear wept from An'she, the eye of the Earth Mother herself.
I don't know if I believe that, but I do intend to see this phenomenon for myself and make my own judgment.
Now, in Phase 3, Brave Stonetorch makes a return as part of the method to discover the Paladin Rune
. One of the items required to obtain the rune is a
, which is rewarded from Brave Stonetorch. According to the flavor text on the item, the symbol is "gifted from one with newly discovered purpose..."
In retail, Tauren Paladins are known as the Sunwalkers, and their Light powers come An'she. While Tauren paladin players weren't available until Cataclysm, the Sunwalkers order developed around the time of Wrath of the Lich King, in response to a perceived imbalance brought about by influence from the Night Elf worship of Elune - the Night Elf moon goddess - who the Tauren call Mu'sha. Tauren believe An'she and Mu'sha are equal, and so formed the Sunwalkers to further explore the powers of the sun.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's impossible for a tauren paladin to exist before the Sunwalkers were formed, and Brave Stonetorch is clearly already devoted to An'she. If the "new purpose" that Stonetorch has found is the way of the paladin, could that way open in the future for other Tauren - specifically Tauren players? Time will tell.
