| The Scarlet Crusade is a militant, fanatical organization devoted to the eradication of all undead and those they deem impure. Formed in the aftermath of the Scourge’s devastation, they cloak themselves in the righteousness of the Light, but their zealotry has long since curdled into paranoia and cruelty. Though once noble in purpose, the Crusade now slaughters innocents alongside monsters, believing any who oppose them to be heretics. Clad in crimson and steel, they are both a warning and a weapon—proof that even holy fire can burn out of control. |
| Sanctified Banner | The Scarlet Crusade, self-anointed saviors of mankind, brandish their righteousness not only in word, but in war. Their troop production structures are adorned with Sanctified Banners—sacred relics emblazoned with the Crusade’s crimson cross. These holy standards radiate a divine aura, granting nearby allies the ability to siphon life with each strike. When equipped by a Crusader, the banner bestows its blessing directly, granting both the aura and heightened regeneration. In the hands of certain units, the banner unlocks even greater power, turning them into relentless instruments of divine wrath. On the battlefield, the banner is not merely a symbol—it is a weapon of faith. | |
| Fanaticism | There is no fire more consuming than the faith of a Scarlet Crusader. When the moment demands, these fervent warriors cast aside mortal restraint, succumbing to a righteous frenzy that banishes fear and embraces glorious martyrdom. In this state, their attacks quicken, fueled by divine wrath, though at the cost of exposing themselves to greater harm. With proper devotion, this holy ecstasy can be further sanctified to grant them swifter movement—turning zeal into an unstoppable charge. | |
| Guard Dog | Once forsaken in the chaos of Lordaeron’s fall, the hounds of the land have found new purpose under the Scarlet banner. Redeemed and reconditioned, these beasts now serve the Crusade’s unyielding mission to purify the remnants of humanity. From the Grange—the Crusade’s fortified granary—these loyal beasts are summoned to serve as vanguards and scouts. Agile and fierce, they excel at early defense and can carry Sanctified Banners into the fray, ensuring the Crusade’s blessings reach even the most embattled fronts. | |
| Humanity’s Finest | The Scarlet Crusade has been damned by many as power-mad and corrupt—accusations not entirely unfounded. Their arsenal is laced with abilities that pay little heed to the sanctity of life, damaging friend and foe alike in pursuit of victory. Yet, when wielded with precision and zeal, these brutal tactics can scatter the unclean and rewrite the course of any battle. To the Crusade, mercy is weakness. And war is the crucible through which humanity is redeemed. |
