The Light's Chosen (or simply the Chosen) are an elite order of draenei paladins commanded by Prophet Velen, the leader of the draenei race.

They were first seen during the third invasion of the Burning Legion, where they fought demons by Velen's side during Battle for the Exodar. The exact nature of the order and the extent of its membership is unclear, however they likely serve as personal agents to the Prophet in his quest to preserve the Light.

History

Legion

This section concerns content related to Legion.

Divinius, a prominent member of the Light's Chosen.

During the Burning Legion's third invasion of Azeroth, the demons launched a massive assault on the Exodar. Overwhelmed, the draenei civilians fled to the Vault of Lights, where they remained under the protection of the Light's Chosen and Prophet Velen himself, who created a barrier of light to shield them.

With the help of the adventurers sent by Archmage Khadgar, the tide of the battle gradually turned in their favor. After the Legion's portals and lieutenants were neutralized, Velen ordered the Light's Chosen to purge any remaining demons from the city, effectively ending the invasion. Upon inspecting the  [Light's Heart], the Prophet realized that High General Rakeesh's true goal was to slay the naaru O'ros. The Light's Chosen arrived shortly after battle, receiving stern instructions from their Prophet to make the necessary preparations to return home.

They later traveled on the Vindicaar to Argus and participated in the Argus Campaign.

Following the rediscovery of the Dragon Isles, Prophet Velen sent Virtos to Stormwind City in order to meet with the Alliance adventurers. She explained that after days of meditation, the Prophet requested their presence for a matter of great importance, and gave them a teleportation crystal designed by their artificers to meet him on the Vindicaar.

During the Tishamaat in the Exodar, the Light's Chosen were seen standing guard at the entrances of the Trader's Tier.

Notes

• While Velen is the overall leader of the Chosen, it is likely that Divinius is the senior among the Chosen themselves. This can be seen as she is frequently addressed directly by Velen when he issues orders to the paladins.
• The Lightforged Protectors use the same armor as them.
