  • The annual Convocation is a time when the Explorers' Guild gathers to share stories. It is so busy that even full-fledged explorers can find themselves sleeping in the fifth slot up in the bunkhouse.
  • The Convocation is an organization of cosmic beings who have sought to acquire all the knowledge they could possibly collect throughout the universe. Their agents are beings from any race whom they feel are able to perform this task. They follow the leadership of The Empyrean, a vastly powerful being from what may possibly be another dimension or alternative universe where it may have emerged. The servants of the Convocation who assist in the gathering of all knowledge are known as the Archivists. In Azeroth, Archivists come in all forms such as the Naaru, Va'nyu.
  • The Convocation is a Luxon tradition where every year representatives of the three Luxon clans fight each other in order to win the honor of carrying the Spear of Archemorus and use it to defeat Zhu Hanuku. The respresentatives typically consists of the champion of the clan and loyal followers. The captain of the clan do not partake in the battle. After defeating Zhu Hanuku, the champion of the winning clan keeps the spear for one year, and returns it in the following year's Convocation. The Boreas Seabed mission takes place during the Convocation of 1582 CC.
  • "We knew not... And so we fought, fought until in our ignorance we brought about the end of the old age. Senseless wars were waged under the reign of the Circle; so blinded were we in our constant quest for power that we did not foresee what was to come, could not comprehend the fate we had sealed for our world. As the shadow fell upon the Eye of Aonir, the Masters of the Elements, answering the call of the Thirteen, cast off their bonds and roamed free. Their power and rage unleashed, the ancient Elements once again began to fight amongst themselves, as they have since the beginning of time.

After defeating Zhu Hanuku, the champion of the winning clan keeps the spear for one year, and returns it in the following year's Convocation. On occasion the Luxons have allowed representatives of the Canthan Empire the honor of partaking in the event. The Boreas Seabed mission takes place during the Convocation of 1582 CC.

As the shadow fell upon the Eye of Aonir, the Masters of the Elements, answering the call of the Thirteen, cast off their bonds and roamed free. Their power and rage unleashed, the ancient Elements once again began to fight amongst themselves, as they have since the beginning of time. In their anger, the Elements heedlessly ravaged the face of the world. The earth burst open and its glowing blood flowed freely over the land. Columns of fire stretched toward the sky, up to the maelstrom of black clouds that seemed to swallow the horizon. Scorching storms of ash and poison upheaved even the highest mountains and ground them to dust. The oceans began to boil, greedily tearing away at the coasts. One day and one night the rage of the Elements lasted, before the shadow passed. Then they were banished, just as they had been once before, and a deathly silence fell upon a scarred world. Only a few of us managed to seek shelter by the Stones. There we lay; some crying to, others cursing the Gods that had let this happen. Yet we were blind, refused to accept the obvious truth… we were to blame. For we knew not…" -Ishtar Magnus, The Darkest Hour

The Convocation seems to have a very enigmatic purpose aside from its desire to collect and learn all there is to learn. This may be a desire to reach omniscience though this may not even be possible on a cosmic scale.
