Convocation of Twilight

Membership

The Convocation was formally broken up into two courts: the Court of Dawn, which represented the living citizens of Quel'Thalas, and the Court of Dusk, which represented the undead. Each of these courts had seven leaders which represented their respective courts during meetings of matters that affected the entire kingdom.

• Monarch of the Dawn/Dusk - the overall rulers of the nation and the head of the respective courts. They were in charge of internal policies that kept the kingdom running, and coordinated a number of other high-ranking government officials and advisors.
• Grand Magister/Magistrix - the leaders of the Magistrate and the primary consultants on all matters related to the arcane or other magics. Due to the nature of sin'dorei culture being so tightly woven with magic, they frequently were also involved in some of the internal policies of the nation.
• Seeker of Wisdom - those in charge of the acquisition of items, knowledge, and intel that served the sin'dorei. While this conventionally involved the acquisition and preservation of magical artifacts, the Seekers also monitored intel from matters operating outside the kingdom and were in charge of acquiring knowledge on matters that were not otherwise known.
• Ranger-General - the leaders of the Farstriders who monitored border safety and recon. They specialized in the movements of outside threats and deployed rangers for recon missions outside the border.
• High Priest/Priestess - the religious leaders of the sin'dorei who oversaw matters related to the worship of Belore, relations with other religions, and the maintenance of faith. Due to the close cultural relationship the sin'dorei had with the sun, the high priest/priestesses also frequently were in charge of organizing community improvements such as maintaining public gardens and orchards.
• Grandshield/Grandblade - the leaders of the Spellbreakers and the heads of internal security. They ensured the safety of high profile members of the government and were a form of secret service. They normally worked closely with most other members of the Convocation.
• Knight-Commander - the leaders of Quel'thalas military and guard. They maintained order within the kingdom in addition to being in charge of deploying general troops in the event of war.

It was expected that each member of the Convocation worked in tandem with their colleague in the other court. Due to the blatant difference in lifespans as undead could feasibly live forever, a convocation member of the Court of Dusk could only remain in office for as long as their living colleague did. A living member of the Convocation could, in theory, move into the same position in the Court of Dusk if they chose to pursue undeath, but the appointment was up to a vote to confirm it.

Gatherings of the full Convocation did not take place in either city of Silvermoon or Deatholme, though individual members sometimes coordinated with each other in these capitals. Instead, Suncrown was used as the meeting place as it stood on the border of the two territories and was thus normally bathed in a perpetual state of twilight. Presence as these meetings did not necessarily mean in person, and it was not uncommon for members to utilize projected images to be present without leaving their homes.

History

The Convocation of Twilight was established following the retaking of Quel'Thalas after the retreat of the orcish Horde. Kael'thas Sunstrider was named the first monarch of dusk, as he had been the reigning king of the former Convocation of Silvermoon. Lor'themar Theron took on the mantle as the first monarch of dawn, which effectively spelled the end of the Sunstrider dynasty as the nature of the diarchy meant that succession was not as easy as direct lineage.
