“The endless pursuit of higher knowledge is its own reward.”

— High Scholar's Arcana

Shadowlight Scholar in Hearthstone.

A scholar is one who studies scholarship — the body of principles and practices used to make their claims about the world as valid and trustworthy as possible, and to make them known to the public.

Vectus in the Scholomance led a group of Scourge scholars. The blue dragonflight and the Burning Legion have their own scholars.

The Sacredites, or sacred scholars, are Arathi dedicated to studying the Sacred Flame through unique discipline or craft. Some study the flame through scripture and prayer. Others study it from a more practical, hands-on perspective by working it into their craft whether it be weapons, armaments, or technology.
