![]() Sargeras, unaware that the titan spirits had survived, declared a victory and continued to search for the one world, Azeroth, that had a slumbering titan. The physical bodies of the titans were destroyed as Norgannon created a protective shield around their spirits, sending it into the Great Dark. The Pantheon tried to reason with him, then moved into a full-blown war when Sargeras killed Aggramar. (If this name sounds familiar, it's the starting zone for Demon Hunters.) Sargeras shattered the plane of banishment, consumed himself in fel energies, and offered the imprisoned demons a chance to join him-the start of the Burning Crusade. Without the assistance of the Pantheon, Sargeras turned to another force for help-the prison world of Mardum where he'd previously enslaved demons. Sargeras decided that a lifeless universe was better than one dominated by the Void, but his fellow titans were horrified by his plans for systemic extinction. This set him down a path that clashed with the Pantheon's view on preserving the cosmos. When he learned how that one planet was infused by the Old Gods, he refused to let the plan of the Void Lords play out, destroying the planet completely. If this is true and the Nathrezim manipulated Sargeras, then they were indeed successful at fracturing the Pantheon and filling Sargeras' mind with fear. Their pantheon, so seemingly united in purpose, is vulnerable to fracturing. Show them a force that opposes their drive for Order, and they will be consumed by their urge to eradicate it. Their singular goal is to impose structure upon everything they see. In many ways, the titans will be the easiest to manipulate. In the Enemy Infiltration book, they had the following to say about Sargeras: This last part of the story is interesting as in Shadowlands, we learn that the Nathrezim originate from the Shadowlands and have infiltrated the different cosmic domains. Sargeras, the undefeated champion of the titans, knew fear for the first time. In time, the warped titan would consume al matter and energy in the universe, bringing every mote of existence under the void lords’will. No power in creation, not even the Pantheon, could stand against it. If the powers of the Void succeeded in corrupting a nascent titan, it would awaken as an unspeakably dark creature. Sensing their evil, Sargeras captured and ruthlessly interrogated the demons until they were broken and revealed what they had learned about the Old Gods and the intentions of the void lords. On it were a couple of Nathrezim or Dreadlords, basking in that good old void power. Sargeras found out about these plans when he came across a planet holding one of these titanic souls and was indeed infused by the old gods. Randomly flinging them across the great dark beyond, hoping that some of them would smash into a planet containing a world-soul. Like the titans, the void lords had no idea which planet actually held one of these souls so they pooled their powers together, pushed through the boundries into the physical universe and shot out what we know as the old gods. Instead they set their sights on the ones more vulnerable, the ones still slumbering inside of planets. First they tried to corrupt these fully grown titans, but quickly found out that that wasn’t going to work. They saw the titans do their thing and became envious of their power. In the grand universe of Warcraft there is the power of the Void and these so called Void Lords seek to devour all matter and energy in the physical universe. Finally with the Chronicles they gave that idea a bit more substance.The constant darkness of the universe eating away at him, slowly but surely making him believe that the universe wasn’t meant for their orderly plans and that chaos was the way to go. Then they gave it more of a philosophical reasoning.Once it was said that the Eredar were responsible for his corruption but they changed that when they wanted to add the Draenei back with the Burning Crusade.Funny enough, the reason for Sargeras turning to the dark side has changed a few times over the years.
