The Silver Hand Chapter of Quel'Aranal is a splinter order of the Paladin order originating from the Grand Duchy of Quel'Aranal that adheres to a more strict and rigid structure reminiscent of the original Silver Hand as well as the Scarlet Crusade, with both of it's founders being prominent members of the Scarlet Crusade years prior.

History

Founded shortly after the skirmish in Quel'Damor known as the Blood in the Snow, General Elevia V. Highblade alongside the newly "reborn" Serana Dawnsinger wished to found an a new chapter of the Silver Hand free from the more liberal practices of the main branch of the Silver Hand and thus founded the Silver Hand Chapter of Quel'Aranal, taking from the structure of the Scarlet Crusade in forging their new chapter with Elevia as their Chapter Master or Highlord and Serana serving as the Grand Inquisitor of the Order.
