He’ll be back.
the shadowlands was sealed up
Who is to say Remornia stayed in the Shadowlands?
We know some part of Nathreza is still floating around in the Twisting Nether and is habitable enough that, while it is engulfed in darkness, it acts as a base of operations for the Nathrezim on the mortal plane. While many of their great libraries have been destroyed, it is very possible that the chunk of Nathreza that is floating around holds the secrets to their master’s resurrection.
I mean, it is very Castlevania-esqe to envision the Sire being brought back.

Indeed, Vyranoth looks like the only who mourned the death of their sister. Fyrakk wanted vengeance and Iridikron was like “yah yah, lets move on, we have things to do”.
A theory/prediction for the future may be that something will cause Vyranoth to leave the Incarnates.
Fyrakk is the incarnate of fire and thus would be the only one able to handle bathing in liquid fire as it’d probably kill or gravely wound the other two. Iridikron also knows that Shadowflame can corrupt so he may be using his brother as a test dummy like Neltharion did so many in his time. As you pointed out he’s not a fool, he’s not dim by any means this guy can plan things out and may very well be the brains behind their group. Good chance one of the chapters leading up to we the heroes charging into Aberrus to stop the big threat there being something like Iridikron letting slip that the shadowflame is truly powerful and Sarkareth finding out and wanting it for himself only to get exposed to some of the void. No telling if the shadowflame is made with blood of some absent old god or being channeled from the void itself and twisted with flames but… I’m curious to find out how they spin this tale

Yes, and while we are dealing with Sarkareth in Aberrus, Iridikron and the others will continue to do their thing. Shadowflame is something really powerful and weird: it burns you super bad, it makes you mad/corrupts you and can animate the dead.
Purple Felfire…
Considering what we’ve seen of Denathrius’ planning capabilities, and given what we now know about him from cinematics and stuff, it’s entirely possible Denathrius orchestrated the entirety of Shadowland’s happy ending and Zovaal’s demise simply to further his own goals of claiming the now unguarded forge of Afterlives and possibly reviving the Legion via lingering Nathrezim.
The corruption in Ardenweald and of the Kyrian into Forsworn? Good test runs for corrupting the entirety of the Shadowlands, as sin and vice is what Denathrius feeds on. Now imagine a Sire Denathrius who has corrupted all but the main characters of SL’s zones and now has the Legion at his disposal as well as the remnants of Zovaal’s Mawsworn armies?
Denathrius’ plans clearly went well beyond the Shadowlands, as a book we find in Revendreth discarded even dictates that he made deals with forces like Void and manipulated those he couldn’t deal with in the shadows.

Don’t forget Living Flame that can reanimate you into whatever Bolvar is.

Dont get too wrapped up into the story, you’ll be highly disappointed OP. Its going to end up being something full of plot holes and so basic its lame as always.
No it wasn’t, there’s a casual portal for anyone to use now in sw/org and death is meaningless now.
They did say in an interview that Denathrius was intended to be a one-off character but that he got such a positive response that they were pivoting to keep him around instead of having him be dead/gone.
We know such an incredibly small amount about Iridikron that seeing any hype or speculation about him just makes me think about how desperate for any sort of character or story wow fans are.

This was also intended for Bwonsamdi as well in early BFA, Bwonsamdi is now the Loa of Death. Characters like: Iridikron (early but he seems level headed), Denathrius, N’zoth, Azshra, etc make for good material characters across multiple expansions… and I think with BFA and SL the writers are slowly starting to realize this.

Ah, in Raszageth we got very much the same old same old. Shows up, shouts at us sporadically, talks about things we never explore or investigate and then dies.
I’m not hopeful that they’re learning anything, slowly or otherwise.
At this point I would not be surprised if the “big reveal” is that Iridikron is Alextrazas brother or father or ex-bf something silly like that.

I really dont ge the appeal. He’s just generic flamboyant villain. Hundreds of him exist, most written better than denatrius…
I mostly agree, I don’t dislike him but I thought he was fairly average for the genre. But the jailor was certainly flopping, and they had not really built any momentum with anyone else. WoW fans were desperate for anything to be happy about.
worse than felfire…it’s technically Voidfire and the void gives no cares if you’re dead or not it’ll drag your corpse around like a puppet and make it do awful things because it can. It’ll drive you mad, scorch your soul and make you do things even the fel wouldn’t dare try.
Of course if N’Zoth’s statement of “She is not the last, but the first. Drown her and you will see.” in the Uu’nat Raid combined with his statement of “With many eyes, they will see again. They will drink, and be uplifted.” from the Thaldraszus Time Travel Questline are related it may be that all her characterization is a Red Herring and that she was infact the first to be corrupted and intends to feign betrayal of the Incarnates in exchange for bathing in the Halls of Infusion’s Waters tainting them with Void.
Vyranoth is the one who mentions the name of Neltharion’s hidden laboratory after all despite Iridikron mentioning that Deathwing kept secrets from his brethren.
I deem that Iridikron was searching for any secrets Deathwing could have hidden while Vyranoth already knew what those secrets were and thus were able to name them when Iridikron found the Map to Aberrus.
Iridikron simply wanted Fyrakk infused with Shadowflame while Vyranoth is seeking Azshara’s Victory.
Iridikron wants to win the war while Vyranoth wants to bring to Azshara the Drowned Goddess Night and the Black Goat that drinks her Blood from the crater she crashed into.
The Light of a Thousand Moons has struck a bargain with the Enemy of All in exchange for the Drowned Goddess of Night. The Black Goat with Seven Eyes will claim the Blood of Mortals for it’s hunger.
If the Black Goat dies then Iridikron will sate his own hunger(which Nozdormu mentions) by eating it and become Dragonflight’s Final Boss.
to bad we killed the big purple one in the Stonecore dungeon, Could have turned it loose on Iridikron 
To be fair:
The Fel has done all of those things at one point or another…
Not saying the fel doesn’t do that just the void does crazy stuff like that too, only it also involves madness and at times tentacles

I disagree. I think Iridikron will be the big bad, whether we kill him or not I don’t know. I suspect though, it will be Vyranoth that we team up with to defeat Iridikron. The question in my mind is does Vyranoth die in the end sacrificing herself or does she live. And if she lives, does she join the Aspects in that sixth spot in the Seat of the Aspects, or does Iridikron survive and she becomes his jailer?
I have a really strong suspicion that Iridikron suvives. And that with all this Nelf/Warden stuff on the Trading Post, along with Vyranoth looking so much like the Winter Queen and being so calm compared to the others, that Vyranoth takes up the leadership of the Wardens as Iridikron’s new jailers since they have the experience watching over something as powerful. I also suspect that the Wardens will open their ranks to all races and become a neutral organization.
