The elite, Night Elf clergy are made up of these worthy women. The fearless leaders of the Sentinel army, the Priestesses of the Moon (or "Priestesses of Elune") epitomize the power and grace of their race's ancient Moon Goddess, Elune. The Priestesses, equipped with silvery, glowing armor, ride the fearless Frostsaber tigers of Winterspring into battle. Charged with the safekeeping of the night elf lands and armed with magical energy bows - the Priestesses will stop at nothing to rid their ancient land of evil.
Following the Battle of Mount Hyjal, many priestesses laid aside their arms. Though most of them now lead the Sisters of Elune, all will answer the call of the Goddess and Her High Priestess Tyrande should they ever be needed to fight once more.
Valuable as healers during wartime, priestesses of the moon can also use their divine magic spells to hinder or harm the enemy. They are also inspirational leaders and excellent archers. Priestesses often keep to the rear, protecting the wounded with ranged weapons. Guided by Elune, priestesses serve as a morale boost for troops, assuring them that they will be healed, protected for or, at worst, blessed during their final journey.Template:Cite
