An obvious reference to Uther the Lightbringer, arguably the most well-known Paladin in World of Warcraft history and Lore. Why a book written by him can be found in the possession of bosses in Dire Maul is yet to be determined.

This book starts a paladin quest rewarding a class-specific trinket, the Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas. A class book can randomly drop from any boss in Dire Maul or can be contained in the Dusty Tome at the end of Dire Maul North.

Upon accepting the quest, The Light and How To Swing It, players must return the book to Shen'dralar Lorekeeper Mykos, located in the Athenaeum of Dire Maul. The Athanaeum is an underground library that is most easily accessed via Dire Maul North, though can be reached at the end of Dire Maul West, as well. Both paths will require the Crescent Key to enter.

This is probably the single greatest item name ever, and if not, it certainly lands pretty high up on that list.

'The Light And How To Swing It' is also the name of the ongoing Paladin guide/news section on WoW Insider (link). They have something of a passion for Uther, and clearly deemed this book somewhat symbolic of the Paladin class as a whole - which it is.

In lore terms, it's really a shame the item itself is so inconsequential: you'd think they'd have involved it in the class progression somehow, the same way (for example) Expert Fishing - The Bass and You was involved in levelling fishing.

'See also' section replacement:
(sorted by class name)

The Emerald Dream (druid)
The Greatest Race of Hunters (hunter)
The Arcanist's Cookbook (mage)
Holy Bologna: What the Light Won't Tell You (priest)
Garona: A Study on Stealth and Treachery (rogue)
Frost Shock and You (shaman)
Harnessing Shadows (warlock)
Codex of Defense (warrior)

Death knights were not around at the time.

this book, as with all of the other class-specific books at level 54 for dire maul, are now USELESS because you can no longer queue for dire maul at level 54. once again, a heartfelt thanks to the asshats at blizzard for not giving us a heads up on obsolete items, as i had been saving several of these books for alts i have been levelling. at the very least, they could have lowered the level requirement on these books to make them useable with cataclysm, but no, that would have made too much sense.

Is this quest still completable? I tried to complete it, but couldn't find a way to get to the ?. And then somehow the item was reset on me like I abandoned the quest. Which makes me think it cannot be completed anymore. Anyone know if this is true?

Commentaire de Mormolyce

One of the very few items in WoW I'd get a tattoo of :)

Have had this in my paladins bag since wrath. Sells for ridiculous prices now

Commentaire de Nasto92

I've had mine on my Paladin for quite a few years. The price inflation for this item is crazy.
