Warcraft Lore for Dummies - Part III

PART THREE – EVERYONE GETS LAID AND KILLS EACH OTHER

For the first time, Sargeras’ mission to burn the Titans’ works had been thwarted. He didn’t have time to be pissed about it because he was in the middle of the portal when it imploded, so he imploded with it and ceased to be. But apparently if you are a Titan in charge of the largest army in the universe and you cease to be, you can still scheme and manipulate and mess around with shit… and get chicks pregnant too.

About 9,000 years later, Sargeras notices Aegwynn hunting down his demons remaining in Azeroth and destroying them. Sargeras lures her into a pretty pointless combat by attacking some dragons, but in the process they discover a rift that the Burning Legion’s agents had used in the Storm Peaks to infiltrate Azeroth. Using this portal, Sargeras used part of his soul to create an avatar of himself to enter Azeroth. Aegwynn attacked and defeated him, but Sargeras’ spirt left his avatar and hid inside Aegwynn’s body.

So eventually Aegwynn was asked to step down as Guardian of Tirisfal and pick her successor from one of the Dalaran mages, but she wanted her successor to be someone from her bloodline. So she hunted down the powerful mage advisor to King Llane, Nielas Aran, and seduced him, and got pregnant. Sargeras was like “I’M TOTALLY GONNA DOMINATE THIS FETUS” and entered the mind of Aegwyn’s unborn son, Medivh.

When Medivh hit adolescence his inherited powers as a Guardian put him into a coma for 20 years. While he was sleeping, Sargeras was tapping into the Guardian power and taking control of Medivh. Using this new body Sargeras/Medivh made contact with the orc Gul’dan, on the planet Draenor, one of the many worlds that his recruiting officer Kil’jaeden had discovered. Medivh/Sargeras went to the Black Morass in the Swamp of Sorrows and opened the dark portal that allowed the orcs to swarm into Azeroth.

Eventually, Aegwynn (who was banished for disobeying the Order of Tirisfal) figured out what Sargeras had done to her and got into contact with King Llane. Llane sent Lord Lothar to destroy Medivh. Together with the Orc assassin Garona and with the help of Medivh’s assistant (Khadgar), Lothar infiltrated Medivh’s castle (Karazhan) and killed him. Garona was a double-agent for a while there, long enough to have a son with Medivh named Med’an. She was also controlled by Gul’dan into killing King Llane with young (future king) Varian watching.

With Medivh dead, Sargeras’ soul/spirit vapored back into the Twisting Nether, and now he has no tangible body or spirit, but is still “out there” somewhere planning his eventual reconstitution and destruction of the universe.
