This object is readable, and contains the following text.

The pages within contain the story of the six master warlock trainers who unlocked the secrets of the most destructive forces to ever threaten Azeroth.

This rare alliance resulted in the new magics which were unleashed to all Warlock sects after The Cataclysm.

In the wake of The Cataclysm, the rising tensions between The Horde and Alliance have driven the greatest heroes of Azeroth to train for war. Warriors have readied their war banners. The Death Knights of Acherus have learned to control the Undead and it is even said the mages are researching ways to undo time itself.

Word of these new threats compelled the Warlocks to action. Convening in shadows, a council of six fought about what must be done to ensure the supremacy of their order, after several nights of blame, bickering, and signed beareds, the human Warlock Kanrethad spoke out:

" The relentless darkness which bathed Azeroth has been pushed back. Cho'Gall is slain and the remnants of the Twilight's Hammer cult have been scattered. Ragnaros is defeated and his armies forced back into the Firelands. Deathwing lies torn apart and his twilight drakes obliterated. However, the powers they commanded are not so easily forgotten... powers untapped and ripe for the taking."

"In fact, among us now stands several who have faced their power firsthand." He said, pointing at a hooded figure across the room. A deep, sinister laugh echoed through the room as his hood burst into flames and burned away to reveal the orc enchanted, Ritssyn.

"It is true, pink skin, I was there when the Firelord was vanquished. The intensity of his flame was unlike anything you can imagine." the burning glow of Ritssyn's eyes cast eerie shadows over his burn-scarred face and thick-tusked grin.

"Untrue." spat a sharp, feminine voice, Shinfel. A Blood Elf adorned with sharp spikes of twilight elementium glared across the table, "Until you've been a prisoner within your own mind you know nothing of horror." Shinfel's blood had been corrupted during the fight with Cho'gall and her arms were now covered in black marks left behind by the corruption that had erupted from her skin. The experience had only served to increase the intensity of her sadism. Shinfel continued, "Even the Firelord's flames were overshadowed by the raw chaos unleashed by the Destroyer." She paused a moment and glanced to a Worgen who remained eerily silent. Zinnin had been present when Deathing was unmade and had not spoken a word since. Zinnin's eyes narrowed for a moment, then snarled at Ritssyn.

Kanrethad stood up from the table and took a deep breath. "This is exactly why we are here. I have no love for any of you, but we each bore witness to pieces of even greater power. Imagine - if we fused the molten fury of the Firelands with the unstoppable chaos of Deathwing, even the powers of the burning legion could not hold a candle to our flames!"

Ritssyn kicked his boots upon the table and snickered. "And just who would do this? You?" he spat. "I think not. You haven't been seen in battle since the siege of the Black Temple. If it weren't for having shared the secrets of Illidan's transformation with this council, I would kill you just for having the audacity of summoning me."

Kanrethad's lips pursed for a moment, but he relaxed and continued. "No, the scope of this task exceeds the capabilities of any single member here. I propose this council split into pairs. Ritssyn and Zinnin would lead a group into Sulfuras. Similarly, Shinfel and Zelfrax would hunt down the remaining members of the Twilight's Hammer cult and ... persuade them to share what they learned."

A pock-faced Gnome applauded with mirthful glee. Kanrethad continued, "then we return... one year from now and take the results of our expeditions back to our own sects. More powerful than we would have been alone."

Ritssyn frowned as he saw the greed drown out in the Human's words dance across the council's faces, "And what would keep us from simply killing our partner in their sleep once it was a success?"

Kanrethad's brow furrowed and he growled, "Which is why we swear that if any member of this council breaks the contract and fails to return or returns alone, the others shall strike them down and banish their soul forever. We either succeed together or die alone."

Ritssyn knew at that moment there was no turning back. To decline was to invite his own death, and Kanrethad had seen to that already. He could defeat the human singlehandedly, but against all five? No. Not now... but after learning the secrets of the destroyer that zinnin held...

"Fine. I can play along with your fool's errand. But first I must know, where will you and that miserable forsake Jubeka be going?"

"Me?" spoke Kanrethad with a wicked grin, "Why I'm returning... to Outland."

It seems like the six mentioned persons in this book play a role in the new scenario which will be intoduced with patch 5.1 - a scenario which takes place in the black temple in shadowmoon valley. Players will help Akama and try to find remains of the visit of the black council there.

A reason to level up my warlock alt

"Me?" spoke Kanrethad with a wicked grin, "Why I'm returning... to Outland."

....... a few months later discussing the results of their finds

Ritssyn: What have you learned from the black temple Kanrethad?

Kenrethad: Wouldn't you like to know........ VERY WELL IT IS TIME! SHINFEL! ZELFRAX! DRUMROLL PLEASE! STAGE LIGHTS! EVERYONE BE QUIET! ITS KENRETHAD TIME NOW!

Kenrethad: What I have learned..... Armies have fought and died for, has the power to bring down the establishment and rock the very foundations of Azeroth. NOW IS THE TIME OF THE WARLOCK! WE WILL USHER IN A NEW AGE OF DARKNESS !

Rityssn(in his seat whispering to jubeka): I'll admit, im pretty damn curious right now, if its got the mighty Kanrathed this excited, it's gotta be good.

Jubeka(rolls her eyes): Yeah its amazing all right...................

Kenrethad: SILENCE YOU FILTHY ORC AND KNEEL BEFORE BEFORE YOUR MASTER!
(ominous latin chanting from the retrofitted blingtron is playing) (summons out his warlock mount) BEHOLD!

- a few moments pass

Rityssn: Shiela? Your dreadsteed? Thats her name right?

Kenrethad: Damn straight, show em what you can do! SHIELA! BLACK TEMPLE UPGRADE POWERS ACTIVATE!

-Nothing appears to happen

Rest of the warlocks: we're waiting...........

Kenrethad: It is done, gaze upon our glorious future!

Rest of the warlocks: yeah and? We also can summon out dreadsteeds. She looks the same. You still ride her to get around right?

Kenrethad: ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................BUT LOOK THE FIRE IS GREEN!

rest of the warlocks : and how does this make us stronger, how will this help us crush our enemies and strike terror in their hearts!

Kenrethad ; GUYS IT HAS GREEN FIRE NOW, SERIOUSLY ITS GREEN FIRE!

rest of the warlocks /collective facepalm

and so after further debate and much discussion, it was decided that while indeed the green fire was cooler and probably would up their recruitment numbers in the coming years, Kenrethad would no longer be a member of the six, and instead would be relegated to the PR department where his natural talents seemed to lie.

Looking back, they realized they had gotten off easy, hell they had even benefited cosmetically from his antics............this time. It could have been worse, It could have been a repeat of the extra tentacled tickling felhunter debacle again or even the time when he got them all drunk and made them get my little pwnie tattoos(dread steed edition) or even of that one time, at the place which was never to be mentioned by name. Never again, never again

You can discard this when finished with the quest chain.

Comment by Eommus

It looks there are no following parts (e.g. Part 2, Part 3, ...). So, the question is, why name it as "Part 1", if there are no sequels? Any ideas?
