The Light and How to Swing It

The Light and How to Swing It drops from all bosses in Dire Maul, and can be found inside of Dusty Tomes in the same instance.

The Light and How to Swing It is a rare and precious book which was written by Uther the Lightbringer for his pupil, Arthas Menethil, and was never intended to be read by anyone else. It was kept for a time in Mardenholde Keep. At some point it found its way to Lorekeeper Mykos at the Athenaeum in Dire Maul. Around the end of the Fourth War, Mykos donated it to the Silver Hand's archives in Light's Hope Sanctum and removed the mark of the Athenaeum from it, allowing all paladins to read the tome and benefit from Uther's wisdom.
