Who Is Sally Whitemane in WoW Forever?

Who is she, really?

A girl from Lordaeron who never forgave the undead. She grew up in the south of the old kingdom, playing in places like Southshore with her childhood friend Renault Mograine.

Then came the plague. During the Third War, while traveling through Lordaeron, Sally watched her own parents and siblings rise as mindless undead, and she had to destroy them to survive. Everything she does after that comes from that day.

What is the Scarlet Crusade?

A crusade of living humans formed in the ruins of Lordaeron to wipe out the undead. Over time it grew paranoid and cruel: its members came to treat outsiders as possible plague carriers.

The key point for WoW Forever:

So if you play Forsaken, the Crusade wants you gone. If you play anyone else, they still don't trust you. More on who holds what: Forsaken vs. Scourge.

How did she become High Inquisitor?

Sally joined the Crusade alongside her childhood friends, and her fanaticism grew as the Scourge grew stronger. As the order turned harsher, she rose to lead it at its stronghold, the Scarlet Monastery in Tirisfal Glades, right on the Forsaken's doorstep.

There Sally became High Inquisitor, running the Crusade's work from the Monastery's Cathedral, while Renault serves as Scarlet Commander Mograine.

Where do I meet her in WoW Forever?

In the Scarlet Monastery, a dungeon in the northeast of Tirisfal Glades. Blizzard's WoW Forever development notes list it among the dungeons open in the beta. Guide sites put Whitemane in the Cathedral wing, alongside Mograine.

How the fight worked in the original game:

1. You defeat Mograine first.
2. Whitemane enters from behind the altar.
3. She casts Scarlet Resurrection, crying "Arise, my champion!", and Mograine comes back for round two.
4. Most groups focus Whitemane first, then finish Mograine.

Treat that as the classic version. Blizzard rebalanced classes and creatures for Forever's launch, so the details may play differently. Patch notes.

Is there a Scarlet story new to WoW Forever?

Yes, a small one. Blizzard's short story "Unbowed" follows Cormack, a former Scarlet Crusader raised as Forsaken, who asks whether a Forsaken can still serve the Light. It's a lovely fit for Forever's new Undead Paladin. Every race and class.

Standing at the Cathedral doors? Hold your talk key and ask me "Why does the Crusade hate everyone?" Or, on Champion and up or in your first days' trial, target a Scarlet guard with Their key and ask them yourself. They answer as themselves, zeal and all. Talking to characters.
