The '''Argus Wake''' are a mysterious group of the [[Shadow Council]] allied to the [[Syndicate]] in [[Alterac]]. Known Argus Wake members are the [[Argus Shadow Mage]]s found in [[Strahnbrad]] and the [[Uplands]], and the [[orc]] [[Nagaz]]. According to [[Thrall]], they are members of the Shadow Council, and should be considered one and the same. The modern [[Burning Blade (Shadow Council)|Burning Blade]] and [[Searing Blade Clan]] are sister groups within the Shadow Council.

"Many cults exist within the Council, but only to hide its actions against the foolish. Groups like the [[Burning Blade]], the '''Argus Wake''', and the Searing Blade are tools of the Council. Consider them one and the same."<ref>Said by Thrall, in [[Quest:Hidden Enemies]]</ref>
 
 
The Argus Wake has also made use of vast quantities of [[bloodstone]], primarily in the form of [[Bloodstone Amulet|Bloodstone Amulets]], and has distributed them among the Syndicate.
 
 
Nearly all the information about this group comes from [[Decrypted Letter|this letter]], which was found by warriors of the [[Alliance]], and translated by [[Prospector Stormpike]].
 
 
:: ''Greetings, Master,
 
 
:: ''Forgive me for the method of sending this message. My shadow mages in Alterac are intent on their tasks, forcing me to use a foreign messenger — conscripted from our new "allies" — to bring you this report. But I have encrypted this letter with one of our most esoteric ciphers. Its words are safe from these yokels.
 
 
:: ''Our plans progress well; as mentioned, we made an alliance with a group of [[human]]s who call themselves the Syndicate. Its leaders were once the nobles of Alterac and they crave to once again hold sway here.
 
 
:: ''And so they have struck a bargain with us. A bargain they will regret.
 
 
:: ''Today the Syndicate holds little power in these lands, but they know the area well and have assembled sufficient manpower for the tasks ahead. With proper guiding I am confident that soon, the Syndicate will again rule Alterac.
 
 
:: ''In addition, we have urged the Syndicate to aim for the city of [[Stromgarde]] in the nearby [[Arathi Highlands]]. The city is a battlefield between our forces, [[ogre]]s and the humans of Stromgarde, but we feel that with careful tactics we will own this once great city.
 
 
:: ''And when this is done, the next stage of our plan may begin. With a nation of our own and a base of power in this region, we may then prepare the way for the [[Third Host]].
 
 
:: ''Soon, the [[Burning_Legion#Lords_of_the_Burning_Legion|Legion Lords]] will reward our works by raining fire from the skies once again!
 
 
:: ''The Council was wise to appoint you head of the Argus Wake, marshal of their strategies in the land of humans and [[Dwarf|dwarves]]. And I am honored to serve as the hand of your will in Alterac.
 
 
:: ''In [[Sargeras]]' Name,
 
 
:: ''Nagaz,
 
:: ''Argus Heirophant

==Speculation==
 
{{Speculation}}
 
Judging from the last lines of the letter, it can be implied that the Argus Wake is one of the more powerful splinter cults of the Shadow Council, reporting directly to the higher powers of the Burning Legion.
 
 
The name '''Argus Wake''' is likely connected to the [[eredar]]s homeworld of [[Argus]].
