Gatekeeper's Challenge: Mastery

Defeat Grand Vizier Jarasum, Arc-Consul Velara, and High Wakener Aargon.

• Grand Vizier Jarasum defeated
• Arc-Consul Velara defeated
• High Wakener Aargon defeated

Archimonde was an individual consumed by the pursuit of power. Only those who could match his lust would fare well under his tutelage.

You will fight what remains of Archimonde's greatest pupils. These three once held such power in their own disciplines that the Conservatory remembers them now.

Their echoes will try to kill you.

Best all three with all your limbs intact and I will recognize your strength.

You will receive:

Not afraid of a little magic, are you?

I must admit, I am impressed.

• Archimonde gave them each a title to acknowledge their substantial knowledge of their craft.

• Sadly, all of them sided with the Legion. This is a rare opportunity to see them as the once were.

• Ah, the Grand Vizier.

• He acted as the Arc-Consul's second and oversaw much of the day to day operations in the Conservatory.

• When discipline was needed, it was often his voice that would ring out. He was not well liked, but he was respected nonetheless.

• It is my understanding that he changed his name to Jaraxxus when he took the Legion's fel magics for his own.

• Beyond that, I know nothing of his fate.

• Arc-Consul Velara answered only to Archimonde himself.

• She was a focused and quiet individual, as I recall. Parallel to the Wakener's guild, she led the Consulate in the pursuit of the powers of creation.

• Under her tutelage we vastly expanded our ability to summon creatures of the arcane. The familiars that linger here still bear marks of her expertise. She was also largely responsible for cultivating the shield technology that we use even now.

• She took the name Velysra and the title of Archmage when she joined the Legion.

• I hope you shall never meet her,.

• High Wakener Aargon. Where to start?

• He ascended to his position only after his predecessor Thal'kiel was banished. That is a story for another time, if you are not familiar with it.

• Needless to say, he was... an opportunist.

• Under his influence we delved deeply into the mysteries of soulbinding. The constructs that roam these streets are his doing. They represent but a fraction of what the Wakeners could do.

• Under the Legion, he became Aargoss.

• To the Army of the Light he was known as the Soulcleaver. Where soul engines operated, Aargoss was never far away.
