Scarlet Crusade

[Established Lore] What the game has always held to be true.

A fanatical order born from the plague, sworn to burn out the undead and suspicious of everyone else.

At a Glance

  • Purpose: destroy the Scourge and the undead
  • Strongholds: the Scarlet Monastery, Hearthglen, Tyr's Hand
  • Enemies: the Scourge, the Forsaken, and anyone else they distrust
  • Banner: scarlet and white

History

The Crusade began with people who watched their country die. They swore to end the plague, and then they decided that anyone who could not prove they were clean was a risk. That is how a crusade becomes a cult. [WoW Classic · Scarlet Crusade quests]

Where to Find Them

The Scarlet Monastery in Tirisfal Glades is the main base. Hearthglen holds the Western Plaguelands, and Tyr's Hand holds the east. [Game · Quest: Scarlet Diversions] [Game · Quest: Down the Scarlet Path]

Playing a Member

  • Scarlet characters are people who lost everything. They are not cartoon villains, and they are not heroes.
  • The Forsaken are the Crusade's enemy. Expect it.
  • Do not play a Scarlet who wants a hug. They want a bonfire.

More to come soon.
