- Summons a Charger, which serves as a mount.
- The mighty charger serves as the steed for all those who serve the Light.[1]
Summon Charger is an epic mount used by human paladins with the Apprentice Riding skill and the 
[Summon Warhorse] ability.
A paladin's charger uses a very specific barding, made of the finest materials possible.[2] When the time comes for Alliance paladins to obtain their charger, they are redirected towards Lord Grayson Shadowbreaker who guide them through many trials to test if they are worthy.[3] They are the spirits of former deathchargers[4] redeemed by paladins through a sacred ritual.[5]

Charger quests
Originally, the Charger mount required the completion of an epic quest chain. In patch 2.4.0, the mount was added to class trainers; the quest chain remained available for those who still wanted to complete it until patch 4.0.1, when it was removed entirely. Completing the questline awarded the [Charger] achievement.
In Legion, the questline to obtain the Glowing Reins of the Golden Charger is similar to the original Charger questline, with the paladins once again having to purify a death knight's horse.
Variants
Humans and dwarves receive a charger with blue livery and gold-plated armor, and exudes a golden aura. However, the blood elf charger has red livery, with what appears to be brass armor and a red aura. The [Argent Charger], on the other hand, has gray livery with the Argent Crusade crest on each section, gray armor, and exudes the same gold aura as the Alliance variant.
Trivia
- Although it is only trained by human and dwarf paladins, any Alliance paladins are able to freely use this mount.
