The Defenders of Justice were a detachment of troops, led by Magroth the Defender, who served the Silver Hand as part of the resistance against the Scourge. They, along with the Crippling Force and the Circle of Holy Light, were stationed in the Ruined Palace Gardens of Lordaeron. The combined might of the three resistance groups was not enough, however, and the group was defeated by Arthas Menethil.
