Most [[races]] possess some sort of cultural faith that reflects their values, fears, and hopes. Races sometimes personify their faiths in the form of a god, but members of the race understand that their “god” is really just a symbol of their philosophical beliefs, not an actual being. Some, however, see actual beings as gods or demigods that do exist (either as a God, gods, or [[demigod]]s is debatable among the races themselves), such as those who view [[Cenarius]] as a demigod. Others, such as the [[titan]]s, are seen as beings that actually exist, not symbolism for philosophic beliefs. Others, such as Firelord [[Ragnaros]], are seen by some to have achieved a god-like status. Most racial faiths include the concept of an afterlife, along with cultural mores and taboos to indicate the correct path to the afterlife. Spiritual leaders who guide their race along the proper philosophical path tend to be shaman or druids. Few races revere an actual deity to whom they can dedicate their lives as priests.<ref>{{ref book |author=Johnson, Luke |authorlink=Luke Johnson |title=[[Dark Factions]] |isbn=9781588464460 |pages=88}}</ref> In the quest {{quest|The Formation of Felbane|The Formation of Felbane}}, the quest giver, [[Loramus Thalipedes]], mentions the concept of a singular god as a blessing; "May your determination and faith, carry you through this ordeal. Should you fail, know that your God smiles down upon you, mortal." Strangly enough, in the first two Warcraft games (including expansions), humans referred to a singular [[God]] behind the [[Holy Light]].
When Solved, Archaeology Fragments form Artifacts. Solved Artifacts can be found in Archaeology's Completed Artifacts tab.
 
   
  +
==Faiths==
Most artifacts are common. These give you a little bit of lore or flavor text and an item you can sell for a small profit (presumably to a museum!) The profit increases as the value of the artifact increases. You can estimate this by the number of fragments needed to finish the artifact. You will only find cheaper artifacts at low level, but you can find cheap and valuable artifacts at higher level (the reason for this is we want players to be able to find all the artifacts if they want to). You won't find a second copy of a common object until you have found all the artifacts of that race. If you get stuck at a certain skill level of archaeology or character level, you may find an artifact more than once until you reach the next tier.
 
  +
The following are the currently known '''religions''' in the [[Warcraft Universe]]:
   
  +
==The Light and the Shadow==
Some artifacts are rare. These always make a blue or purple item. Many of these have no in-game power and are toys or for flavor. Some of them are actual weapons and armor. The latter items are all bound to account. They aren't heirlooms in that they don't scale, but you can pass them around. So if you are level 80 and you find a level 60 axe, you can always have another character use it when they are level 60. You will never get a rare artifact more than once.

  +
* Members: Many [[Undead]] and Shadow Priests
In the below tables, "100 + 3 socket" means that the project can be built of 100 fragments, but also of 88 fragments and one keystone, 76 and 2 keystones, or 64 and 3 keystones.

Most races possess some sort of cultural faith that reflects their values, fears, and hopes. Races sometimes personify their faiths in the form of a god, but members of the race understand that their “god” is really just a symbol of their philosophical beliefs, not an actual being. Some, however, see actual beings as gods or demigods that do exist (either as a God, gods, or demigods is debatable among the races themselves), such as those who view Cenarius as a demigod. Others, such as the titans, are seen as beings that actually exist, not symbolism for philosophic beliefs. Others, such as Firelord Ragnaros, are seen by some to have achieved a god-like status. Most racial faiths include the concept of an afterlife, along with cultural mores and taboos to indicate the correct path to the afterlife. Spiritual leaders who guide their race along the proper philosophical path tend to be shaman or druids. Few races revere an actual deity to whom they can dedicate their lives as priests.[1] In the quest The Formation of Felbane, the quest giver, Loramus Thalipedes, mentions the concept of a singular god as a blessing; "May your determination and faith, carry you through this ordeal. Should you fail, know that your God smiles down upon you, mortal." Strangly enough, in the first two Warcraft games (including expansions), humans referred to a singular God behind the Spell holy surgeoflight [Holy Light].
