Velen and his followers fled, becoming the draenei. Though Velen had doubts, Kil'jaeden and Archimonde readily agreed. Sargeras appeared to the eredar's three greatest leaders, namely Kil'jaeden, Archimonde, and Velen, and made his offer: untold power and prestige in exchange for their allegiance. On the planet Argus, Sargeras found the agents he sought - the eredar, a race of highly intelligent beings with a natural affinity for magic in all its myriad forms. However, among the various beings who served him, none of them had the natural cunning and power to act as commanders and tacticians for his new army, so Sargeras looked about for a race who would serve as his favored agents in exchange for horrific power. These cunning creatures bowed before the dark titan's vast rage and offered to serve him in whatever malicious ways they could. He bound the newly released demons to his will and used them to construct an army of massive proportions - one that eventually became known as the Burning Legion. He became known as the "great, dark god of the Nameless Void". Sargeras roamed the Twisting Nether, freeing the many demon races that he had previously hunted down and imprisoned. The only way that he could correct their mistakes was to destroy all of the worlds that the titans had shaped and brought order to so long ago. Deciding at last to undo their works throughout the universe, he resolved to form an unstoppable army that would set the physical universe aflame.Ĭonvinced that the titans’ ordering of the universe was unnatural and ultimately responsible for the corrupted nature of the demons, Sargeras decided to undo the work of the titans throughout the universe. įall of Sargeras and the dawn of the Burning Legion īy the time Sargeras' madness had consumed the last vestiges of his valiant spirit, he believed that the titans themselves were responsible for creation's failure. Although the Pantheon was sorrowful at his departure, the titans could never have predicted just how far their lost brother would go. Storming from their ranks forever, Sargeras set out to find his own place in the universe. His fellow titans tried to make Sargeras realize his erroneous way of thinking and calm his raging emotions, but he disregarded their more optimistic beliefs as self-serving delusions. Eventually, he came to believe that the concept of order itself was folly, and that chaos and depravity were the only absolutes within the dark, lonely universe. As doubt and despair overwhelmed Sargeras's senses, he lost all faith not only in his mission, but also in the titans' vision of an ordered universe. Shaken by the evil of demons in general and the nathrezim in particular, Sargeras began to despair of his task and gradually slipped into a brooding depression. Sargeras defeated the nathrezim easily, but their corruption affected him deeply. The nefarious, scheming dreadlords turned whole nations against one another by manipulating them into blind hatred and mistrust. This dark race of vampiric demons (also known as dreadlords) conquered a number of populated worlds by possessing their inhabitants and turning them to the shadow. While his confusion and misery deepened, Sargeras was forced to contend with another group intent on disrupting the titans' order: the Nathrezim. Sargeras went about his task devoutly for countless millennia.ĭuring his never ending war against the evil in the universe, Sargeras became increasingly depressed by the chaos he saw wrought by all kinds of evil. Sargeras was called upon to defeat and imprison the hordes of demons native to the Twisting Nether, so that their evil would not contaminate the titans' vision of order. Like the rest of his kind, he was altruistic and just, unable to conceive of pure evil. Sargeras was a mighty giant of molten bronze who led the armies of the titans, the Champion of the Pantheon's cause.
