Ok, so for those of you still here, hello!
I just finished reading The Shattering, which as many others have already said is a pretty entertaining read. I will not bore you with a review, so I will just get right to it. Chapter 27 around page 268-270ish Anduin and Baine are having a discussion about Baine's plans to retake Thunder Bluff from Magatha. Baine is having trouble with the whole thing and needs guidance, and Anduin essentially gives the tauren some moral support. Not only that, but Anduin give Baine a 700 year old hammer that Magni had given him earlier in the story before he passes. Anyway Anduin gives this hammer called Fearbreaker to Baine as a show of confidence and friendship. We find out earlier that Anduin has the makings of a servant of the Light, more so a priest than a paladin, and the weapon Magni gave him sometimes benefits those qualities.
The hammer responded to Baine just as it had Anduin with the power of the light. Now after Baine receives the hammer he states, "Light. My people do not think the darkness is evil Anduin. It is a naturally occurring thing, and therefore right. But we, too, have our own Light. We honor the eyes of the Earth Mother, the sun, and the moon An'she and Mu'sha. Neither is better than the other, and together they see with balanced vision. I feel in this weapon a kinship to them, even though it comes from a culture very different from my own."
Now from his statement that sounds like one of two things to me anyway. Paladin type talk, or priest type talk. I am more inclined to think Paladin since Taurens are recieving that class in Cataclysm, and so going off of that idea are we seeing Baine become of the first Sunwalker Paldins for the Tauren?
