Crimson Hand

Founded in the wake of the Spine Insurgence and the capturing of not one but two of the Archons of the Convocation of Elrendar, the Crimson Hand, named after Kael'thas' closest circle of servants, were created so as to avoid any further such incidents from occuring. Numbering only a close group of followers that accompanied the Convocation to Pandaria, they form the backbone of their military aid to the Horde.
==Recruitment==
The Crimson Hand has only existed for a sparse two months, the history of the organization making a duller tale than its methods of recruitment, handpicked by Knight-Master Sorlain Amaran following Theramore not by competence, but by the loyalty they've exhibited to Quel'thalas.
Recruitment is as simple as proving one's loyalty to the Hand's leadership, as well as sufficient experience in battle or useful skills on the field, at least that is how the initial membership has been mustered. The rest are either conscripts from lost Horde positions seeking to reclaim honor and glory by their service, or in cases, High Elf 'converts'.
==History==
The group first saw prominence in the Jade Forest, serving as the Convocation's entourage and fighting force. They suffered next to no losses throughout the skirmishes the elves encountered on this new land, until their participation in the Battle for Serpent's Heart. While not taking part directly, the Hand suffered heavy losses in combat with the Alliance, with yet more dying after the emergence of the Sha of Doubt, leaving the group undermanned.
A few weeks before the events at the Zouchin Province, words of a horde fleet arriving in Krasarang had reached the ears of Sorlain. He sent Lareen on a secret mission to Krasarang to find out and if needed, await the arrival of the fleet.
Upon arrival the hand was split up into two groups, forty or so of the soldiers staying in Krasarang to help build Domination Point under the leadership of the Regent Lord, and thirty of the soldiers of the hand, lead by Lareen, made their way to Sri-La Village in the Jade Forest to reclaim the Convocation's vessel the Sunchaser.
Through communcation between Lareen and Sorlain the ship made its way to the Zouchin Province in time to intercept the last attack wave of the trolls and swiftly defeat it with utmost effeciency, losing no men in the skirmish despite the Troll's overwhelming numbers, and the Archon's sha possession.
==Equipment and Uniform==
The Crimson Hand lack a formal uniform, but their colours do match, as well as certain items they all share. The 
Knights are garbed in their own battlegear, but the spellcasters and scouts follow suite, their own equipment sharing the same colour scheme - black and a deep red.
A feature that is a constant however, are the badges denoting their allegiance, depicting a red fist clutching the sun, worn on the chest of every elf in the Crimson Hand. Beyond serving as identification, they function in the same way as the Convocation's own scrying gems, allowing them to communicate with each other telepathically over long distances.
Similarly to the Blood Mages in the Blasted Lands, the Convocation's brigantine vessel brought to Pandaria two functional bloodcrystals, bound to each other by Khairan Sunshard to allow for teleportation between the two and kept in reserve by the Crimson Hand when in need of an ambush.
==Roster and Leadership==
The Crimson Hand boasted, when brought to Pandaria, thirty elves, with one new recruit in the face of a high, turned blood elf. After the Battle of Serpent's Heart however, their numbers have been reduced, barely enough to fulfill their role as an escort, these include(along with their leadership):
*Sorlain Amaran - Archon of the Convocation and de-facto Leader of the Crimson Hand.
*Spellbreaker Lareen Dawnlake - (Former) Official Head of the Crimson Hand.
*Edanna Kal'es - Archon of the Convocation, (nominally) officer of the Hand.
*Relcha Kim'belore - Archon of the Convocation, (nominally) officer of the Hand.
*8 knights, 3 priests, 2 felcasters, 2 scouts, 3 archers, 2 magisters.
