A Dark Covenant is chapter 2 of the Curse of the Blood Elves. After, the previous battle, Misconceptions, Garithos returned to the front, whilst Kael prepared himself for the assault from the east. However, Garithos then ordered all of Kael's cavalry, artillery and support troops to pull back to the west, leaving Kael defenceless. The large Undead force quickly overran the Blood Elves' outlying bases; in desperation, Kael again entered in a pact with Vashj. With the aid of the Naga, the Blood Elves turned the tide against the Undead and defeated them.
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 spotted several Naga warriors slithering to safety, and, infuriated, he had Kael and all of his Blood Elves arrested.
