The Watchers were the jailors and marshals of night elf society until shortly after the Third War.
They guard the barrow-prisons of the night elves. Though their members came from a number of backgrounds, their original members were members of the Sisters of Elune.
History
The leaders of the Kaldorei realized the dire potential Illidan could wield, especially after he had remade the Well of Eternity on Mount Hyjal which had previously destroyed nearly everything they had accomplished, and wished to ensure that he would not escape ever again.
To this end, Malfurion Stormrage requested that Maiev Shadowsong form the Watchers, an elite group of guardians dedicated to guarding Illidan and other imprisoned criminals. Maiev was named Warden (a rank to which a select few others were promoted) and would answer only to the official head of government.
In the prison of the Barrow Deeps, the Keeper of the Grove Califax personally guarded Illidan's cell. He commanded a large number of intelligent Wildkin who were slain trying to prevent Illidan's escape.
There were also a large number of other prisoners captured by the wardens within cells throughout the deeps, such as the wolf Loki.
The Watchers were never a large group, and almost all of them were slain in their quest to recapture Illidan after his release. The order has not been reformed.
