Thome the Paladin says: “Early to bed and early to rise etcetera, etcetera.”


Here’s my little paladin named Thome, I say little because he’s only a few inches tall, but his heart is there.

Thome was not the inspiration for A Fire between Two Lights, rather it was the other way around. I was working on the story when I got WoW and since I was going to be playing as a paladin, I figured why not be the Paladin named Thome?

I no longer play, but I have decided to keep this page and Thome’s memory alive. I used to play on the Proudmoore server where I killed many things, big things whenever possible.

I’ve created a short comic using a few screen shots and my graphic design skills (IE: Photoshop and Illustrator) just click on the paladin to see it.


Thome the Paladin says: “So when your back’s up against the wall and theirs no tomorrow, just take one day at a time and remember: the bigger they are, the—well you get the idea.”

I maxed out Thome’s level at 60, but found raids not much to my liking. Also sicne I was a paladin everyone assumed that I was collecting the Lightforge Armor set, the class set everyone seems to have deemed ‘paladin’. Mind you, the way my particular character was specked the Lightforge Armor would have been detrimental to my character. Also it made me look like a twit.

Thome the Paladin says: “Valor = good; Lightforge = bad.”

Factor in my calculations that I would need approximately 960 hours or 40 days of game play to obtain the epic armor set (the Lawbringer armor, which was down right impressive), I reached the conclusion that there was nothing left for me in World of Warcraft besides months of treadmill-like game play.
If you'd like to see some of the exploits of the Paladin Named Thome in Azeroth, just click on the paladin.



And... keep clicking on him.

If you’ve watched enough Toonami, you’ve probably seen those tacky “Sailormoon Says” bits of advice that follow every episode of that god-forsaken show. Well, not to be left off the band wagon, Thome the Paladin presents some of his favorite words of wisdom:

Thome the Paladin says: “Early to bed and early to rise etcetera, etcetera.”

Thome the Paladin says: “So when your back’s up against the wall and theirs no tomorrow, just take one day at a time and remember: the bigger they are, the—well you get the idea.”

Thome the Paladin says: “Go Away!”

Thome the Paladin says: “Shut up N00b.”

Thome the Paladin says: “Rogues and can kiss my armor-plated—you get the picture.”

Thome the Paladin says: “It’s ‘Skolomance’, like ‘School’, not ‘Sholomance’ N00b.”

Thome the Paladin says: “Valor = good; Lightforge = bad.”

Thome the Paladin says: “I’m drunk.”
