The Fifth Covenant - The Jailer (Idea)

Discussion

When the four covenants were announced I always hoped for a fifth option that would allow you to pledge allegiance and loyalty to The Jailer and anyone else who happened to be on the "dark side". The Maw would become your home. NPCs in other cities would attack you on sight. It would be very much an outcast role play decision. Similar to Dread Lords in Ultima Online for any other boomers out there. And unlike the other four covenants, your decision would be a one way ticket. Once you pledged loyalty to The Jailer, you can't go back. At least not on that particular character.

Other features might include automatic PVP flagging so you could always be killed by members of the other covenants. Special discounts from NPCs in The Maw. That sort of thing.

I always felt they could have a lot of fun with that and offer players a slightly different role playing route. But alas it wasn't to be. Shame!

Anyone else find that particular "dark side" scenario appealing?

I would really like to, specifically that i were given special afterwarcampaign quest, where Sylvanas told me to wait for orders, but, I'm afraid, Blizzard would forget even that.

With how integral the covenants are, I doubt there will be another one. Unless it's on top of your other 1 out of 4 choices. Maybe we can get a 4th soulbind though. Maybe we save Garrosh/Arthas/someone from the Maw and they join us as a soulbind. The same soulbind for all 4 covenants or a different one for each.

When I saw that official art I immediately thought of an arbiter or jailer covenant

Yes please, when I watched the reveal last year I thought to myself "can I complete everything without choosing a covenant? Cuz all of them feels rather lame".

So yeah, a jailer one would be the best second option really.

I don't think it will be available for players, but the whole reason why Sylvanas looks the way she does in Shadowlands has been addressed by the devs that she basically is part of the Maw Covenant just like players can take up the four main covenants.

As a DH main I strive to be as edgy as possible so I back this.
