WARNING: Story spoilers in this post!Unliving SummonsWasn't the Scarlet Crusade already defeated?

Many times. In the Plaguelands, in Northrend. Some of them gave up and joined less fanatical orders, but it seems like there's always some old leader or new opportunist willing to take up the accursed banner.
There's people in the world with good reason to hate the Forsaken. But the Scarlet Crusade isn't here for that. We are the living dead, and they think we are just abominations meant to be destroyed.
For some, that's all they need for killer hatred.To the SepulcherAcid Beats PaperNothing Like the ClassicBoom WeedA Proper DisguiseFear is our WeaponHow do you feel about the Scarlet Crusade being back?

It's both complicated and simple.
In life, I was one of them. I believed what they believed.
In death, I turned into the thing that they hated. That I hated. That I was taught to hate. It's taken a long time for me to see that blindly hating anything, living or undead, isn't the answer. What matters is what they do.
The Forsaken are my family, and I'm going to protect them like my family.The Scarlet SpyAmong Us
Scarlet Commander Forsythe: Soldiers of the Scarlet Crusade, we stand at the threshold of a new Lordaeron, poised to liberate it from the cold grasp of the undead.
Scarlet Commander Forsythe: Too long have those monsters polluted the hallowed lands of our people. No more. Today, we will reclaim what is ours and purge the stain of the unliving from the world.
Scarlet Commander Forsythe: Ready yourselves. This is the hour where you will be tested. Only you stand between the darkness of death and the light of the living!
The Flight of the BansheeDeath to the LivingThis is the Hour of the ForsakenLilian: Their commander is here. Let's show him why he should have run.
Forsythe: Lilian Voss... Your father would despise you for what you've become.
Lilian: Keep talking. You'll run out of breath quicker.
----
Forsythe: I will purge the world of you!
Forsythe: Do you not see that the world would be better off without the Forsaken in it?
Forsythe: Monsters! Die in the Light!
Lilian: We will survive!
<Forsythe imprisons you and Lilian in a prison of Light, but you use Will of the Forsaken to free yourselves.>
---
Forsythe: Is that... all... there is?Return to LordaeronI Am ForsakenLilian: You not only helped us reclaim our home after the plague, but you defended it when it was under threat.
Lilian: You represent what it means to be Forsaken. To take care of our own, with our unique ingredients.
Belmont: Our strength.
Velonara: Our determination.
Faranell: Our cunning.
Calia: Our hope.
Lilian: And together, we will endure. As the Forsaken.Forsaken Champion's TabardQueen Loyalist's Tabard

Comment by sopwithcamelThere is an extra quest afterward in the courtyard not mentioned in the article. I assume it is for Sylvanas Loyalists. I won't go into detail so as not to spoil it but I found it to be emasculating and somewhat disappointing.Comment by GrumarWhy is Calia still a character?Comment by GrumarWhy is Calia still a character?Comment by RobNajjarI know this is a weird take away from the questline but.....

Did blizzard use this questline to strip the alliance of Fenris isle and give it to the forsaken, because it was alliance since cataclysmComment by ValkyrstudiosI know this is a weird take away from the questline but.....

It was a delight to see organizations such as the Royal Apothecary Society, Dark Rangers, and Deathstalkers to be seen in functional action with their individual leadership given screentime. While the story was as some might say conservative, it played well to established canon lore and went back to a very traditional threat that also deserves some recognition. There is of course the fitting Sylvanas tribute at the end, and tabard option.

In all I am really happy with the quest. It felt like this quest chain really focused on the Forsaken as a people - not as a shallow fan service to Sylvanas.

Also - really loved that it was made very clear that Lordaeron belongs to the Forsaken.Comment by vosxOk i'm confused, I just want the heritage set and idc if it's 1 click away like with allied races or a small questline like for the rest, 0 interest in lore too

Do I have to do the dark ranger questline AGAIN on a non-hunter undead character? also is exalted really required again?

I mean they add something nice and then they ruin it with confusing chores and spaghetti questlines, retail WoW in a nutshell but w/eComment by shadowbanex122why do i have to be exalted with forsaken to do the quest but not with night elves for theirs?Comment by Saadiawhy do i have to be exalted with forsaken to do the quest but not with night elves for theirs?Comment by notacyborgI am totally baffled by this quest. First off, I had a level 60 undead that was at Revered reputation. When I finished I was still Revered, so Exalted is NOT necessary here. I couldn't find Calia in Orgrimmar, but I had the intro quest in front of the war chief room to start Shadowlands. So I went ahead and did that, it ported me to Oribos and somehow I was presented something I haven't seen since Dragonflight began: I had the option of Threads of Fate or Full Story. I just chose Threads of Fate, went to the main room in Oribos and Calia was there. I literally just did the same quest that was available at the end of Shadowlands (completed it on another character that is my main). I went through the full quest thinking this would set me up to launch the heritage quest....but the whole thing was just the same quest as before (unless I am incorrect in my memory, but this was doing everything from setting up the meeting with the various Forsaken leaders, to going to Maldraxxus for info on the plague, all the wan to storming the island that had Scarlet Crusaders on it)? When I returned to the ruins of Lordaeron and completed it I saw my inventory had the transmog set. So I guess they just recycled the old quest from the Shadowlands epilogue? Am I missing something here? What was added?Comment by WepstarSo, about Delaryn....?Comment by tupolew519Scarlet crusade again? Enough.Comment by thebl4ckd0gIf you use the Forsaken cannibalize racial you get some unique dialogue when you're assaulting the isle.

The dark ranger asked "Do you have to do that?"

And the other guy mentioned, "No finer a taste."

Pretty neat I thought.Comment by HiptossI am totally baffled by this quest. First off, I had a level 60 undead that was at Revered reputation.

They removed that requirement for every other race a bit ago, even when they introduced the Orc Heritage armor?Why does Forsaken require Exalted?

Anyway, my Forsaken is level 50 and Exalted, and didn't get the quest.
