Skins

Basic Tirion
As it is in the normal picture for the concept. Alternate Tints: N/A

'Master' Tirion
Tirion in the Paladin Armor set shown in [This] picture. Alternate Tints: N/A

Death Knight Tirion
Tirion as a Death Knight, in one of the Death Knight armor sets. I would say Scourgelord, but Darion, and the same for Th***arian's Battlegear and Th***arian. And so, I vote for the Relentless Gladiator's Desecration PvP set. Alternate Tints: N/A

Talent tree heavily altered. The only talents to truly remain are as follows:
Strength of the Light: Renamed from 'Light's Strength'. Effect generally remained the same, but the damage increase based on level of CC escaped from is new.
Shield of Vengeance: Was level 13 talent, same effect, but only 25% maximum health shield.
Retribution: Retribution previously granted a 20% maximum health heal and 25% increased damage, with no armor. Otherwise functioned identically.
Justice Enacted: Renamed from 'True Justice', altered from a 1 second stun to a varying level of stun. Otherwise unchanged.

Maximum health at level '0' increased by 50, but attack damage at level '0' decreased by 5.

10/18/2018
Lawbringer altered from giving %1 max health damage every threshold to 40 damage. Number damage boosts reduced to 3, because the 4th was when the ability transformed. Reduced each threshold to 3,000, from 5,000. Lawbringer used to read:
"Quest: Every 5,000 Hero Damage from Crusader Strike causes it to deal an additional 1% of its target's maximum health, up to 4% of the target's maximum health.
Reward: Upon dealing 20,000 Hero Damage with Crusader Strike, empower Crusader Strike, replacing it with Lawbringer."

Fixed a typo with Holy Wrath where it referred to Blade of Justice in its flavor text instead of Crusader Strike.

You know, I think adding overall Silence instead of Trait Silence would be better for Light's Strenght.

It's meant to be thematic, and... It's very powerful against some people, especially because it breaks you out of all CC besides Stasis.
As well as the fact that it's unique; We don't have a mechanic that prevents trait usage in any hero yet. I enjoy unique things, such as this.
