The Warlocks

Background
The Warlocks are an order of magic users who dwell in The Shattered Citadel. They are known for their pacts with devils and evil entities, though they are not inherently evil. The group is led by Netherlord Varsith.

History
The Warlocks were servants to Omalgus during The Great Dragon War, resulting in their hatred by the common people and the need to remain hidden from the world. They have since worked to banish The Children of Hadar they unleashed upon Varian. They have recently signed a treaty with The Dragon Guard, which recognise them as a changed order. This treaty is known as The Dark Pact, one that caused an uproar within the Dragon Guard. The Warlocks are using this opportunity to atone for their sins.

At the beginning of the story, the Citadel is quiet and empty, as Warlocks are not a common form of magic user in the current day. This changes however, after the events of Thornoral, where new apprentices are taken on from the refugees.

Appearance in the Story
The Warlocks are the organisation that Anmon belongs to, who are hunting down the Children of Hadar at the start of the story. They later share their home with refugees from Thornoral and other areas affected by The Silver Eye Cult.

Trivia

 * Due to the Warlocks’ dealings with devils during the Great Dragon War, they were the first to introduce Tieflings to Varian. Tieflings are a by-product of these relations with evil entities. There will always be a streak of demonic blood within them that cannot be diluted.


 * A common acknowledgement between Warlocks is for one to say ‘May the Darkness bind you’. The other responds with ‘May the Darkness bind you as well’.
