But they did?

They did. That’s why I said them doing so makes no sense based on the lore of the Scarlet Crusade, which is a very xenophobic organisation hostile to all outsiders but especially non-humans.

@Crazymon-earthshaker

So, either Korloff passed his foreign martial arts as rooted in the Light or convinced his superiors that this not a foreign magic but an energy inherent to all humans, or concealed the fact that it was a ‘pandarenism’ to begin with.

He learnt it from pandaren ambassadors, so as far as we know, he did not.

@Crazymon-earthshaker

Is there any additional lore on Korloff beside his appearance in the dungeon?

There is not.

Brother Korloff first learned of the monk’s deadly arts from pandaren ambassadors as they journeyed through Azeroth. When the crusader demonstrated this martial style to his superiors, they unanimously ordered Korloff to train an entire generation of initiates in the ways of the monk.

Clearly the Scarlet Crusade became less xenophobic in its later days, then, no?

@Alannyse-argent-dawn

That’s the point! If they did, it doesn’t matter what you consider they should have done. They did, so we’re to imply that there was a reason/change of policy because of that. I mean, you could take the Danuser route. I paraphrase - “listen I know some people didn’t like it but those people can just pretend it didn’t happen I guess”.

Let’s not derail someone’s guild thread, thank you.

And as the guild thread indicates this guild is centered around a more classical take on the Scarlet Crusade, hence the pandarisms don’t fit.

Last post on this topic to not derail the thread, but this is the Crusade’s policy on non-humans as of BfA.

We all know that Anduin Wrynn is a traitor to his race and does not deserve to be king. These facts are INDISPUTABLE.
So who should be king? For now, there is only one answer: Genn Greymane.
Yes, we must rally behind a shapeshifting monster, cursed by a night elf plague to spend half his life as a beast.
Why?
Because for all his many flaws, Greymane HATES the Forsaken. He wants the Banshee DEAD. His goals align with ours, and he has the forces to get the job done.
But do not worry, brothers and sisters. Greymane is NOT a long-term solution. We will follow him only until the undead are wiped out.
Then we will bring down Greymane and turn our blades upon the rest of his cursed kind.
It will be a challenge to hide your disdain for the mongrel worgen. But we must do it for a time, brothers and sisters.
Once Lordaeron is free of undead filth, the Scarlet Brotherhood will FINISH the job and ensure that only pure-blooded humans hold this land!

The Scarlet Crusade as written in the lore, as I noted in an earlier comment, is incredibly xenophobic to the point of even attacking other humans on sight.

We honor the Dwarves and High Elves for their commitment and sacrifices and are open to them for recruitment, with certain expectations of course.

I mean.

I’m sorry for “derailing” the thread. This LOTR aesthetic has become a peeve of mine in recent months, especially in how it’s omnipresent among the more north-leaning guilds.

It does feel like recent guilds are created with this “vanilla #nochanges” mindset but imho it’s just a fad, fads naturally pass away in due time.

Still, scarlets are always a decent antagonist to murder so all the best to the guild.

Had a wonderful time role playing with some of the people of Strom last night.

We managed to just make it past Thoradin’s Wall with what refugees were still under our protection. Forsaken patrols were hot on our heels.

Setting an encampment along the inner Thoradin’s Wall we were able to parlay for a moment, requesting the inhabitants of Stromgarde if they would be willing to take in our old, young, sick and wounded farmers.
