Scarlet Crusade

The  is a Stormwind detachment of the main Scarlet Crusade faction of Lordaeron. Founded by Inquisitor Lucas Saint when he followed the emissary Brother Crowley to Stormwind and with the aid of a secret fund created by Archbishop Benedictus in the year 23.

History
In the year 23 a detachment of Scarlet Crusaders left Lordaeron for Stormwind with the purpose of procuring aid from the new seat of the Alliance. Included in this detachment was the emissary Brother Crowley, the inquisitor Lucas Saint, and the paladin Aura Cross as well as a small force of men and women dedicated to the cause. Upon arrival they were received by the archbishop of the Church of Light, Benedictus, and given lodgings in the basement of the cathedral.

The Scarlet Tithe
After much deliberation, Brother Crowley managed to convince Archbishop Benedictus that the undead still posed a major threat to the people of the Alliance and that it was the church's responsibility to aid in the elimination of the scourge. The archbishop was not entirely convinced that the free undead under the control of Lady Sylvanas Windrunner and now part of the new Horde were the same threat, but agreed the matter needed further investigation. To this end, Benedictus, signed a decree providing Brother Crowley with the funding needed to investigate the threat posed by the Forsaken and their new allies. This decree was known as the Scarlet Tithe, as it took a portion of the weekly collection and secured it in a secret account made available to Crowley and his agents.

, Stormwind Detachment
Upon receiving the funds provided by the Scarlet Tithe, Brother Crowley made them immediately available to Inquisitor Lucas Saint so that he could begin forming a much larger Scarlet Crusade presence in the south. The inquisitor tasked Aura Cross, paladin of the crusade, with the recruitment and training of new crusaders while he took on the task of uncovering the Scourge's corruption in the Stormwind Kingdom while also overseeing the day to day duties of the .

Controversy
Some of the methods used by the Scarlet Crusade have been criticized by the Stormwind public. Citizens have accused the Crusade of harassment and even kidnapping and have begun asking the archbishop why they've been allowed to stay. At this time no official charges have been made against Brother Crowley or any of the crusaders.
