Dalaran Update in 10.2.7 - Silver Covenant & Sunreaver Guards, New Council of Six Member?
Dalaran has been updated on the PTR, with some interesting changes made to the city for 10.2.7! The Silver Covenant and Sunreaver guards are back, and what are the Council of Six up to?
High and Blood Elf Guards
Dalaran is expected to play a role in 10.2.7, with minor updates made to the city in the recent build. One of the changes is more of a change back.

On the 10.2.7 PTR, four of the remaining council members — Khadgar isn't with them — can be found within the Portrait Room of Dalaran's Chamber of the Guardian. What's more, Karlain is sitting with an encrypted NPC — they currently show up as a blue-and-white block. Could this be Kalec's replacement?
Modera can be seen speaking with Ansirem Runeweaver, Vargoth stands nearby on his own. Karlain is sitting with the mysterious blue-and-white block.
New Council Member?
The Council of Six is expected to have, well, six members — so it makes sense that a new member will be selected now that Kalec has stepped down.
One potential candidate is Aethas Sunreaver. Aethas was on the council until the events of Mists of Pandaria, which we will also be revisiting during the 10.2.7 Remix. When members of the Horde used a Sunreaver portal to steal a powerful artifact known as
