Why Do Warlocks Have a Farmer Theme?

Between the Black Harvest title, the Council of the Black Harvest faction, the Seed of Corruption spell, the Deadwind Harvester Artifact and now the Soul Harvester Hero Spec, Warlocks are basically goth farmers.

Oh, that reminds me.

Back in Vanilla there was the Quest to learn how to summon an Internal, and it ended with a giant chicken named El Pollo Grande being summoned.

More farmer stuff.

The notion of the "Grim Reaper (reaper/harvester of souls) as a personification of Death has existed for a very long time in the real world. Warlocks use of souls as a power source plays heavily into that theme. Though, DKs equally play (even more so) into the same Death imagery.

You’re being too literal with the names, which means this post is two days too late for it’s appropriate time (that being Sunday).

A being of Chaos.

I can’t be expected to stick to such patterns.

My nonsense is unpredictable :smiley:

Warlock has “lock” in the name.

Farmers put locks on their doors.
