Lore[edit | edit source]

This elf appears to be a member of the Scarlet Crusade or Scarlet Onslaught that has been raised, or perhaps merely corrupted, by the Scourge.

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
The Scarlet Crusade (or the Scarlet Brotherhood and simply the Crusade) is a religious order, that evolved from Knights of the Silver Hand dedicated to the eradication of the undead from Lordaeron. They are a major adversary of the Forsaken and Scourge, and several quests in Tirisfal Glades involve attacks on Scarlet Crusade troops, leaders, and strongholds. The Scarlet Crusade maintains several bastions throughout the former lands of Lordaeron, namely the Scarlet Monastery, and up until the Shattering - Hearthglen, Tyr's Hand, the fortified Scarlet Bastion of Stratholme, and several smaller camps and scout towers spread throughout the whole area of northern Lordaeron.
It was also, before the Shattering, the only hierarchy left of the Kingdom of Lordaeron after its destruction by the Scourge. After the attack on the Scarlet Enclave, the Scarlet Crusade renamed itself to the Scarlet Onslaught and operated in Northrend, though some members of the original Scarlet Crusade did not transfer to the Scarlet Onslaught.
Since the fall of  The Lich King, the Scarlet Crusade has experienced a downfall, losing many of its holdings in the now-recovering Plaguelands to the Argent Crusade, and many of its surviving members, ironically, to undeath.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Her flavor text is based on the lyrics to the song Tainted Love.
