The Crimson Rampant Brigade was a military unit in the Letherii Army. 
==In Midnight Tides==
At the start of hostilities between the Kingdom of Lether and the Tiste Edur, the Crimson Rampant Brigade was stationed in Tulamesh.Midnight Tides, Chapter 14, US SFBC p.430 After the fall of Trate, the brigade marched for Dissent where they were joined by the Riven Brigade and the Snakebelt Battalion as part of a concentration of forces to defend Letheras .Midnight Tides, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.596-597Midnight Tides, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.645
At the Battle of Brans Keep, the brigade protected the Letherii far left flank next to the Snakebelt Battalion at the westernmost edge of a line of hills and the Dissent River. Across the field they faced the army of Emperor Rhulad Sengar as well as thousands of Jheck and hundreds of Kenyll'rah Demons. As the Jheck and demons advanced, the brigade maneuvered to face them.Midnight Tides, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.671/673 The larger battle commenced with devastating sorcery on both sides. Warlock King Hannan Mosag's enormous columns of shrieking wind and dust ran rampant through the Letherii left and centre destroying virtually all of the soldiers arrayed there. The Crimson Rampant Brigade broke and routed and its fleeing soldiers were cut down by pursuing Jheck and Kenyll'rah.Midnight Tides, Chapter 23, US SFBC p.674-677
==In Reaper's Gale==
The Crimson Rampant Brigade was reformed and requested by Atri-Preda Bivatt to serve under her command in the Awl Campaign.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 6, US HC p.149 Its heavy infantry section consisted of 1000 men, capable of saw-tooth formation. Its medium infantry was divided in at least three legions of 500 men each, capable of shield-wall formation. It also fielded 1000 light infantry skirmishers.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 12
They fought at the Battle of Bast Fulmar where the Letherii were decisively defeated by Redmask's Awl and the brigade's light infantry skirmishers took heavy casualties.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 12, US HC p.327-328/330-331 At the Battle of Pradegar the Crimson Rampant heavies anchored the army's left centre, while their medium infantry were likely posted on the flanks or in reserve.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 16, US HC p.452 By the time of the concluding Battle of Q'uson Tapi, the individual Letherii units were reorganised by military function, so the Crimson Rampant Brigade heavies were likely part of the Letherii centre while their medium infantry was again on the flanks.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.668 When the fighting was over at Q'uson Tapi, there were no Letherii survivors.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.706-708
