Do some occupations in WOW really exist?

Shaman druid warlock paladin these professions exist in reality.

The original meaning of the word druid is "someone who knows the oak tree". Historically, he was a Celtic priest. His main feature is that he lives in the forest and is good at using herbs for medical treatment. Oaks and acorns are sacred objects they worship. Celtic is a people scattered in Gaul, Britain, Ireland, Europe, Asia Minor and the Balkans from the 5th century BC to the 1 century AD. Druid priests are proficient in divination, meticulous in rituals, and good at calendars, medicine, astronomy and literature ... At the same time, they are also synonymous with law enforcers, bards and explorers. Both men and women can become Druid priests, and they can be priests, wizards or prophets in their families, and they also enjoy a lofty position in society. Some historians equate druid priests with Brahmins, Magi, priests and shamans in India. At first, because Celtic was a matriarchal society, only women could be druids, and then men gradually joined.

The word "shaman" comes from the Tungusic language Jdamman, which means excited person, excited person or hero. It is the proper term of shaman wizard, that is, the person who jumps into the gods, and is also understood as the agent and incarnation of shaman gods in these clans. Shamans are generally divided into professional shamans and family shamans. The former is the shaman leader of the whole tribe, village or village, and is responsible for the jumping activities of the whole nation. The latter is a female member of the family and presides over family jumping activities. Shaman is called the intermediary between God and man. He can convey people's prayers and wishes to God, and he can also convey God's will to people. Shaman tries to master the secrets and abilities of super-life forms through various spiritual ways, and obtaining these secrets and divine power is a kind of life practice content of shaman.

Historians do not use the word "shaman", but only call it "witch" in words. In the Xiongnu period, shaman played a certain role in politics and military affairs. Any war or other indecisive events ultimately depend on the shaman. Shamans of northern nationalities are very different from witches of Central Plains. Shaman must have a lot of common sense or knowledge, be able to observe the development of things, predict the future, and dare to predict good or bad. The same is true of Rouran, but its brief biography is not described!

After the barbarians overthrew the Western Roman Empire, a series of barbarian countries were established in its territory, among which the Frankish Kingdom was the country that had the greatest influence on the later European pattern. After more than 300 years, the Frankish kingdom reached its peak in the hands of Charlemagne. Charles fought all his life. After more than 50 wars, he incorporated most of the land in western Europe into his territory and was crowned as "the great Roman emperor" by the Pope. In this way, more than 300 years after the demise of the Western Roman Empire, another "Roman" Empire-Charlemagne Empire appeared in Europe.

The words "paladin" and "palace" come from the Latin word "palatinus", which means "belonging to Bala Ding Shan"; "Paladin" originally refers to the 12 dance priest (Salii) in ancient Rome, which is composed of young aristocrats, soldiers who have received gifts, clergy and so on. The word "paladin" has three meanings: chivalry, knights or heroes in medieval legends, and personal footmen of Charlemagne.

The earliest legend about paladins comes from Song of Roland, which refers to the guards and guards who follow Charlemagne in four directions. The number "12" in Paladin 12 is taken from Christian 12 disciples, not just the specific 12 warriors. The 12 paladins widely circulated in later generations include Roland the Brave, Mumban the Brave, reinaldo, Tobin the Archbishop, Malagigi the Magician, ogier the Danish Prince, King Solomon of Brittany, Astolpho the famous British handsome man, Namo, Duke of Floria, Florismat, Philan ballas, and Garnilon the traitor. After the Pope crowned Charlemagne, the twelve knights were naturally promoted to be "servants of God" and became synonymous with "paladins". In fact, Charlemagne's Twelve Warriors can't be called knights, because they still inherited the fighting spirit of barbarians.

Knights in the true sense began in the second half of the eighth century, after Europe entered the feudal era. Because the warriors of feudal monarchs must be well-equipped, have good mounts and a certain number of followers, and have economic support, those big noble granted the land to the warriors, which not only satisfied their requirements for land, the most important property form in the Middle Ages, but also made them vassals of big noble. In the pursuit of land and property, more and more samurai gradually formed a special class-the knight class, attached to big noble.

Since then, the chivalry system has been further developed throughout Europe, especially the Crusade movement in the past two centuries, which provided a broad world for the survival and function of the chivalry class in Western Europe. In this process, the savage and aggressive factors combined with the sacred belief of Christianity, which made those warriors who destroyed the peace and lived by the sword become the guardians of Christ. "As a result, the knight finally became a worshiped person. He not only swore allegiance to his master, but also vowed to be the guardian of the church, the protector of widows and orphans ... In this way, the knight broke away from his barbarian and pagan background and integrated into the social structure of Christian culture. Therefore, knights, like priests and farmers, are regarded as one of the three indispensable organs of society. " The swordsman was a heavy infantry unit in the Middle Ages. The early swordsmen were also called infantry, which means people who walk on their legs, that is, pure ordinary infantry. Infantry in this period wore a full-body chain mail, and holding a sword and shield with one hand was the most common weapon combination.

With the progress of the times, swordsmen's equipment is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the training and equipment costs are becoming more and more expensive.

Chain mail can deal with chopping and bows and arrows, but because of his soft armor, he can't do anything about smashing weapons, such as hammers, flails or the morning star with that nice name. A two-handed sword can hit a head-on with a stroke of "splitting Huashan Mountain", and it can also hit a broken tendon fracture in chain mail. Therefore, the infantry armor developed into chain mail and breastplate, which actually included the hard armor of arms and legs, and the joints were connected by soft chain mail.

The protection of the head was changed from the Beatles-style chain mail package to the helmet, and the helmet evolved into a full package. Later, the swordsmen had a full body armor that was not inferior to that of the knights. Full-coverage helmet only has a narrow slit on the front, although the field of vision is greatly limited, which is effective for preventing sharp weapons such as arrows.

The shield has been developed from a drop-shaped kite shield to a triangular heater shield. The name comes from its shape like an old-fashioned iron. This kind of shield is also often called knight shield. Shields are mostly made of wood, covered with leather, canvas or iron, not a whole iron plate, so they can't be carried. Knight shield has a certain curvature, which can guide the gun to one side when it is attacked by cavalry guns, which is a bit like the oblique armor of modern chariots.

After the infantry developed spears and heavy armor enough to fight against cavalry, many knights chose to fight on foot and fight as elite infantry.

It is said that the confrontation between spear and shield, attack and defense has never stopped. The original leather armor had poor defensive performance, so leather armor with nails, iron rings or iron pieces was invented. The attackers used long guns and one-handed swords. The original intention of defending Fang Faming and chain mail is to make up for the lack of leather armor defense against cutting and piercing weapons such as bows and arrows, knives, guns, axes and cymbals. The attacker's counterpart is a hammer, a chain hammer, and so on, which is absolutely fatal to chain mail. The evolution of hard armor, such as breastplate and full-body armor, effectively defended against crushing weapons; The attacker uses armor-piercing weapons such as longbow, crossbow and musket; Defenders use shields as an additional defense that can move freely; The attacker used slingshots and crossbows to increase the intensity of stabbing;

Later, tanks were regarded as the evolution of heavy cavalry, and shields became additional armor and reaction armor; The attacker makes APFSDS tail stable armor-piercing projectile; Power armor is an improvement of full-body armor, but M72 Gauss rifle is used to attack Fang Faming ... Ah, the times are out of date. ...

The combination of pious religious virtue, moral spirit of helping the weak and helping the poor, and the original qualities of samurai, such as honor, loyalty and courage, constitutes the chivalry or chivalry ideal in medieval Christian culture. It is the highest standard and perfect example of people's thought and behavior in the Middle Ages.

In the Crusaders' era, the secular knight ideal was formed, which was contrary to the Christian knight ideal of sacred restraint and far from the barbaric heroism in the north. It is characterized by love worship and etiquette worship, which is manifested in the pursuit of romantic love and elegant words and deeds. Secular knights originated from Spanish Muslim society and were popular in the southern French world. In the eyes of these knights, love is a pure spiritual feeling without any carnal desire, which constitutes the main content and basic style of knight literature in the heyday of the Middle Ages.

Thus, the loyalty of samurai, the humility of Christianity and the pure love for ideal women have become the three virtues that every knight must possess. "The ideal of Christian chivalry has always maintained its attraction to western thoughts and its influence on western ethical standards." They are symbols of strength and justice.
