It was around this time that Several Concerned citizens took up arms against the scourge. Antonidas knew the force would require aid and called for the bravest and brightest minds Dalaran and the Kirin Tor had to offer. Amoung them was Jarclair.

On an apparent mission to clense Darrowshire the militia was soon surrounded on all sides by members of the Order with Lord Commander Dathroan in front. Dathroan then produced a battered and bloodied Archanist Doan who began critizising the Militia for planning to over throw the order and all their work. The Lord commander offered an ultimatum, Pledge loyalty to him or face execution. The responce came in the form of a charred corpse. The Order and the Milita classed in a great battle on the blighted ground many of the mages and protectors falling. In the end Archmage Sol ordered a full retreat before sacrifising himself to take down a huge number of the traitorous Knights. Scattered throughout the forest Jarclair found himself with only a few of his friends. Far in the distance he could here the warning bells of Brill, It was coming under attack. Jarclair's Loyalty to the Agamands and his Family proved to be strong. Sending his friends on their way he headed to the Travel's End Tavern where his parents awaited. Upon reaching there he confided in his parents about his secret power. His Father could not beleive what he had heard and ordered his son to leave and never return. So Jarclair did leave and would never know for a long time that his parents still loved him no matter what.

== Other Facts ==
==== Powers ====
Jarclair's power is at the peak of most Warlocks. He is able to conjure fire and shadows with ease and his mastery of the two is without mention. In addition to his basic warlock knowledge he has created a few tricks of his own.
Shadow Portals: These small gaps in the fabric of space are a way for Jarclair to pull something from one point to another. Though he only uses it for mundane uses like grabbing food from the pantry in the Guild Hall.
Shadow Vision: A Unique trait of Jarclair which allows him to see across vast distances to places that he has been to before. Very handy for when he needs to find something or someone.
Fel Conjuration: While he is still working on it Jarclair has gained some slight ability to manifest objects out of pure Fel Energy. These objects are subject to his concentration and if he is not careful he can potentially forget to remove the tainting effect they can have by default.
