Methegrist was home to a small group of paladins centuries before the Spellplague, known as the Moonwatchers. They were dedicated to Helm, and were appointed as protectors of the Moonlands. Methegrist was destroyed by a devil infiltrating the ranks of the Moonwatchers, and tricking Jahar to be the first to strike a fellow knight. His ghost was seen passing through Quaervaar, forced into unrest by the imp Fortenesti.
