Argent Dawn

Glossary

1 min read

An order sworn to defend Azeroth from the Scourge without the Scarlet Crusade's blind hatred.

When the Silver Hand’s survivors in Lordaeron hardened into the fanatical Scarlet Crusade, some refused to follow. Led by figures such as Lord Maxwell Tyrosus, they formed the Argent Dawn, which welcomes anyone willing to fight the undead. From Light’s Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands, the order watches the Scourge and rewards those who help hold the line.
