Light's Fire

Light's Fire is the name given to an extremely volatile substance developed by the Scarlet Crusade shortly after it's creation. The substance was discovered by accident by one of the Crusade's Alchemists, Keelda Autumnstar, while she was trying to create a flamable liquid to hasten the destruction of villages deemed infected with the Plague of Undeath. Her creation was a substance as sticky as tar and as flammable as oil, aptly dubbed 'Light's Fire'.

The exact recipe for the concoction is unknown. Only snippets of the recipe have been found during various raids and attacks upon the Scarlet Monastery. Notes on creating the dangerous liquid describe it as needing vast amounts of oil, pine resin, holy water, it needing to be blessed with the power of the Holy Light and infused with the power of everlasting flame by a skilled Pyromancer. The recipe appeared to be a closely guarded secret of the Scarlet Crusade.

After the sack of the Scarlet Monastery and apparent death of High Inquisitor Sally Whitemane the substance appeared to have dropped off the face of Azeroth. Only recently has it resurfaced, securely held in the palms of the crazed sect of the Crusade known as the Army of the Truthful.

The substance is mostly used as munition for the Crusade's infamous 'Purifiers', crazed fanatics commonly clad in heavy red and gold plate armor enchanted to protect them from fire and wielding flamethrowers. The flames that are lit from this substance are reportedly hot enough to burn down a wooden house in mere minutes, reducing it to nothing but ash and cinders. Even after any source of fuel has long gone the flames still burn on. It has been reported that it can even burn on the surface of water and the only thing which can douse it except time is powerful Frost Magic.
