| − | |||
| − | 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. Initially this group was picked from among the [[Sisters of Elune]]. There were also some [[wildkin]] aiding the night elven guards. Maiev was named warden (a rank to which a select few others were promoted, but she herself selected some to share the title) and would answer only to the [[Tyrande Whisperwind|official head of government]].<ref name="watchers"/> |
