A Dark Covenant is chapter 2 of Curse of the Blood Elves. After the previous battle, Misconceptions, Garithos returned to the front, while Kael prepared himself for the assault from the east. However, Garithos sent an Emissary that ordered all of Kael's cavalry, artillery and support troops to pull back to the west at the Front Line, leaving Kael defenceless. The large Undead force, commanded by Dalvengyr, quickly overran the Blood Elves' outlying bases; Kael and his warriors were surrounded, they didn't know what to do, but then Vashj and the Naga appeared, in desperation, Kael again entered in a pact with Vashj. With the aid of the Naga, the Blood Elves defended their last base and turned the tide against the Undead recovering one of their outlying bases with a gold mine, they contuinued fighting with Undead and defeated them, in the last battle they destroyed the Undead green base and killed Dalvengyr in the assault.

With the bulk of the Alliance troops on his side, Garithos was also able to force the enemy into retreat; however, returning to Dalaran he and his knights spotted several Naga warriors slithering to safety, and, infuriated, he had Kael and all of his Blood Elves arrested and jailed in Dalaran Ruins to execute them later.
