Argent Crusade
Wrath of the Lich King
The Argent Crusade are a group of warriors that formed after the battle at Light's Hope Chapel. The Lich King leads a force of 10000 scourge to wipe out the Argent Dawn, amassed at Light's Hope Chapel in the Plaguelands. Led by Darion Mograine, the scourge forces appear poised to wipe out the last of the Argent Dawn until the arrival of Tirion Fordring. Powered by the light, Tirion Fordring manages to eliminate most of the scourge forces, causing the remaining soldiers to flee, leaving Darion Mograine to face Tirion one on one. As the two argue, Darion's father, Alexandros Mograine appears suddenly, reminding his son about why he decided to fight Lich King in the first place. This causes the Lich King to appear to and banish Alexandros. This was all part of a carefully laid trap by the Lich King, designed to get Tirion Fordring to reveal himself. The Lich King paralyzes Tirion Fording and taunts the remaining members of the Argent Dawn. The Lich King then releases Tirion Fordring and is ready to eliminate him when Darion Mograine gives Tirion the Ashbring, suddenly cleansed of all corruption. This causes the Lich King to flee back to Northrend. In the aftermath, Tirion Fordring and Darion Mograine agree to merge the Argent Dawn and the Order of the Silver Hand. Now known as the Argent Crusade, the group pledges to take the fight to Lich King.
