The Council of the Black Harvest is a council made up of six of the greatest warlocks that sought the powers of their defeated foes. These powers would then be shared with each other and their own sects[1] to further aid their kind against any future threats to Azeroth. The order was brought together by the human warlock Kanrethad Ebonlocke, after the fall of Deathwing.[2]
History
Nearly each member had witnessed one of the great threats to Azeroth:
- Kanrethad was there when Illidan was destroyed, he shared the secrets of his transformation.
- Ritssyn was in the Firelands when was Ragnaros vanquished.
- Shinfel aided in the death of Cho'gall
- Zinnin had witnessed Deathwing being unmade
After much bickering and debates it was decided that each warlock would be partnered with another and obtain new powers. Although each warlock in the council did not like each other, they knew what they would be doing would greatly benefit them all. To make sure greed did not set in with individual members, it was agreed that any warlock that broke the contract, failed to return, or returned alone would be struck down by the others and their soul would be banished forever.
All six returned to pass their knowledge on to all warlocks, and disappeared shortly after.[3]
Tasks
- Ritssyn and Zinnin were sent to Sulfuron Keep.
- Shinfel and Zelfrax hunted down the remaining members of the Twilight's Hammer and persuaded them to reveal anything they learned.
- Jubeka Shadowbreaker and Kanrethad Ebonlocke returned to Outland,[2] where they tried to create a powerful crystal from a Naaru relic. This culminated in a battle in the Black Temple.
Members
Notes
- The Council of the Black Harvest are involved with the warlock quest chain. The Warlock Adventurer is tasked by trainers in capital cities to hunt down Jubeka's
[Soulstone] and find them in Outland. - Wrathion would later on to be concerned in their interest for his father's power. Though the quest was only available in PTR and did not make it on live servers, Wrathion's involvement with the council is non-canon.
Trivia
- All of them had a quote in the warlock talents in Mists of Pandaria beta.
- The group was known in the beta as the Council of Six Daggers.
