Led by Nexus-Prince Haramad, The Consortium are ethereal smugglers, traders and thieves that have come to Outland. Their main base of operations and biggest settlement is the Stormspire, but they can be found at Midrealm Post, the Aeris Landing, within the Mana-Tombs of Auchindoun and various other places.

Upon reaching Friendly status, players are officially considered members of the Consortium and given a salary. The salary is a bag of gems at the beginning of every month, given by Gezhe at Aeris Landing. Higher reputation with the Consortium yields higher qualities and quantities of jewels each month.

Characters trying to simultaneously earn reputation with the The Mag'har or Kurenai and the Consortium may want to focus on killing ogres (Boulderfist, Warmaul) in Nagrand and saving the Obsidian Warbeads for Consortium turn-ins. The only caveat is the drop rate, which is roughly 33% for the warbeads, while it is 50% on the insignias. If you are level 70 and want a faster grind without concern for Mag'har/Kurenai reputation, then you may want to grind insignias instead. Then again, the ogres are generally easier to grind, ranging from level 65 to 67. The choice is ultimately up to the player.
