Silas Darkmoon 7

Silas Darkmoon in-game.

“We may dress differently... or seem odd... but we're really just like everyone else. We value the same things you do... money, happiness, family... Yes, we're a family. We're a family that, like every other rube family out there, takes care of our own. We just do it our own way.”

— Silas to Cedrick Fallrook, shortly before locking him inside a coffin and burying Cedrick alive.

Silas Darkmoon is the founder and leader of the Darkmoon Faire, an exotic bunch of wandering showmen, who together celebrate the wondrous and mysterious idiosyncrasies found in Azeroth. Previously operating in Mulgore and Elwynn Forest, his Faire has since the time of Deathwing's fall moved to Darkmoon Island.

Legends: Blood Runs Thicker[]

Comics title This section concerns content related to the Warcraft manga or comics.

At some point Silas and his crew visited Southshore for performance.

When Kerri Hicks was wrongfully accused by Cedrick Fallrook of his brother Erik Fallrook's murder, Silas and the rest of the Darkmoon Faire worked together to prove her innocence. When it became impossible for them to do so in time to prevent Kerri's execution, they opted instead for breaking her out of jail. Though successful, they were caught before they could escape. Luckily, it was revealed that Yebb Neblegear had found a witness that proved Kerri's innocence, and Kerri and the rest of the Darkmoon Faire were free to go.

Later on, Silas and the rest of the Faire would abduct the murderer Cedrick from his home after he had been banished by his father, enforcing their own brand of justice by stuffing Cedrick inside his brother's coffin and burying him alive. Silas would not stand for violence on his fairegrounds, but nor would he forgive slights against his "family of freaks".[2]

Gossip Silas, why is most everything at the fair free? How do you make a profit?

It's not always about money, clem! While we receive generous donations - some extremely substantial - our traveling troupe of performers is fueled creatively by a need to brighten this war- torn world. Don't worry about us, but instead let us worry about how to best entertain you.

Hearthstone This section contains information exclusive to Hearthstone and is considered non-canon.

Silas Darkmoon appears as a legendary card in the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire expansion for Hearthstone. His effect rotates the minions on board in a direction chosen by the player.

Notes and trivia[]

  • He is a seller on the Black Market Auction House.
  • Some of the carnies hired by Silas died in unexplained fashions in the wilderness of the isle. Most notable are the goblin Kupp Coincare whose debt he paid, jungle troll Zazla whom he rescued from an execution and the human Brendon Paulson whom he took as a kid from Strom (likely meant to be Stromgarde.)
  • May have invented - or at least helped invent - Silas' Sphere of Transformation
  • Silas is the only NPC in the game to have an actual paragraph break in a single speech bubble.
  • Silas Darkmoon may be a reference to Samson from the television series Carnivàle, played by Michael J. Anderson. Both characters are leaders of traveling carnivals, both dress similar and use a walking stick/cane, and both have similar stature. (Anderson has Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which made him very short.)
  • A Silas pin is available from the Blizzard store.[4]
