Red Priests

"It is not only our duty to usher in our saviour and spread his reach across the land. It is our pleasure".

-Archdruid Elonsius

The Red Priests were a coven of Old God worshippers and one of the secondary antagonists of The Hellrock Campaign. Bound together in service to spread the malignant grasp of the cursed metal known as Hellrock and usher in the ascendance of their hidden master; The King Beneath the Mountain, the Red Priests were a plague upon the Eastern Kingdoms throughout the time of the Iron Horde's emergence.

The Priests were initially a group of disprate Warlock covens and members of the Twilight's Hammer that were abandoned and despondent after the defeat of Deathwing in the Hour of Twilight, but were given new purpose when Duncan Brightfist and the Flying Gang found them in Northrend's wastes. They aided the young Dwarf in a complex ritual to create a suit of armour fashioned from fallen fragments of their draconic master that had been altered by Fel powers, but their ritual proved far more successful than any of them had anticipated.
