Warlocks first emerged after the War of the Lance. They are generally considered Renegades by the Order of High Sorcery. The First Warlocks were Thorn Knights making pacts with powerful exiled Fey. These fey in exchange for the soul of either the Thorn Knight or the soul of an innocent by stander would grant the pact maker a piece of the Fey's essence which over time will grow and grant it's host great power.
The Infernal Pact first appeared in any real number during the Chaos War. Devils of Takhises in an effort to gain power for themselves (and to gain a new weapon and defense against Chaos) gave essences of themselves to Thorn Knights and other followers of Takhises, for a price of course. The Star and Dark pacts emerged shortly after the Chaos war. People desperate for any means to defeat the Dragon Overlords and their forces. The pacts have since become a great deal more wide spread out among the people of Ansalon much to the dismay of the Order of High Sorcery.
The Orders are too tied up with various matters such as reconstruction after the heavy losses suffered by the hands of the Dragonoverlords to do much about it though.
