With the return of the Scarlet Brotherhood, they are distributing false news.

Shadowlands is beginning to plant seeds throughout Azeroth and The Scarlet Brotherhood has returned yet again with a new strategy. They are distributing fake news.

This isn’t the first time players have seen the return of The Scarlet Brotherhood. They made an appearance in Wrath of the Lich King. This time they are spreading fake news and conspiracies via pamphlets throughout Azeroth. This is alarming and perhaps one of the most realistic threats we have seen within the game.

You have heard stories that the so-called ‘Forsaken’ were killed by the Banshee. FALSE. There was no massacre. But Anduin wants you to believe there was.

–The Scarlet Crusade Pamphlet Propaganda

Many players are aware that this propaganda does not match the lore we have experienced at all. It is important to remember that this is setting a stage for the upcoming expansion and perhaps the role that The Scarlet Brotherhood will play in the upcoming expansion.
