Welcome to Blood Pact, Blizzard Watch’s regular column for Affliction, Demonology, and Destruction Warlocks. This week, your hostess Megan O’Neill (@_poneria) attempts to teach Demonology. We won't be Illi-done with the fel arts today, but we'll bring more Fizzlebang for our buck.

Introduced in Burning Crusade, this race of space-traveling eredar who avoided corruption by Sargeras has a story that spans back thousands upon thousands of years, longer than even the history of the night elves -- and with far less definition.

If our desks at the Blizzard Watch (virtual) office are any indication, Warcraft isn't something that stays confined to video games.

Hope everyone enjoyed the previous look at the midrange paladin the other week. I’ve received great suggestions in the comments for different decks to look at including what the latest hunter iteration is.

You can feel it, deep down in your soul.

One of the tricky parts about creating a character in Warcraft is the subject of age -- just how old should your character feasibly be?
