Steel Warband
This article is about Ryland Steelcatcher's warband. For an Iron Legion warband, see Steel Warband (Iron Legion). For other warbands named Steel, see Warband#List of known warbands. For the Steel Warband vision, see Forging Steel.
“The Steel Warband's earned its reputation, and we intend on keeping it.
The Steel Warband is a Blood Legion warband led by Centurion Ryland Steelcatcher. The members eventually join the ranks of Imperator Bangar Ruinbringer's Dominion, becoming centurions leading the war effort against the United Legions in southern Drizzlewood Coast after Ryland has been promoted to tribune.
All Steel Warband members except for Ryland perish during the war in Drizzlewood Coast,[1][2] leading Ryland to join forces with the Elder Dragon Jormag.[3] Ryland, the last of the Steel Warband, is slain by Rytlock Brimstone after Jormag's demise.

Trivia[edit]
- The fates of the Steel Warband recruits, whom up to ten players can control during the scaling Forging Steel mission, remain unknown although it is assumed that they perished alongside most of the Dominion during the charr civil war. Given how ten magically empowered cache keepers were given the important task of safeguarding Dominion supplies by themselves in Drizzlewood Coast and how their numbers correspond with the number of Forging Steel recruits, it is possible that the cache keepers and the recruits are one and the same. If so, the additional Steel Warband members would be Arkius Steelfoe, Calimus Pyretooth, Legionnaire Castor Crushpaw, Cerosi Breaksteel, Elexus Shredskin, Luccia Wildeye, Rudum Wormud, Sodar Closemaul, Centurion Volante Tornpaw, and Yahuk Fellstrike.
