The new version of archimonde is trapped in a time stream.
There is no new version of Archimonde and demons transcend all realities. What are you talking about?
The echo version in druid campaign. He’s not dead.
Yeah, I do find it hard to believe some semi-infinite, cosmo-spanning, planet-destorying space force suddenly finds itself shattered without a leader.
Surely there had to have been backup figures, or several?
The Horde nor the Alliance died when their leaders did- they just keep trucking.
I assume the same would be true of the Legion, just find another Argus-type thingy, create a way you can keep funneling them back after they die, just do the same thing they just did on Antorus, surely there’s other world-souls out there.
There are 3 whole leaders. one imprisoned one dead the other dead(?)
Demons are inherently chaotic and require an extremely powerful force to keep order among them. A singular legion without any of the 3 is extremely unlikely. Rather thousands or maybe even millions of groups are going to form and war with each other. Before Sargeras demons weren’t a significant threat to the cosmos because of how much they fought each other. Sure if they ended up on a mortal world they’d cause a mess but it’s nothing like the burning crusade.
It is explicitly said they die for good if killed in the twisting nether which is a realm that lies outside the multiverse itself (it itself is capable of introducing demons into any multiverse world).
So given we killed Archimonde there (all raid fights are canonically done on their hardest difficulty), he can only be truly dead unless we get a major retcon to change said lore.
I guess you’re right, they did need a overall leader to guide them, otherwise just constant infighting.
Still, I feel like there could have been another like Sargeras, like a Titan that just didn’t believe in the others or the order, or something like that.
Maybe in the future when we see a void expansion, they could already be in possession of a Void Titan or something, they just haven’t used it yet, for reasons.
Yes. He is. I don’t know why you keep ignoring facts.

That was just an illusion created by the Nighrmare though. It wasn’t actually Archimonde.

It’s not “sacrifice a few”. It was “crap the legion is going to kill me for not killing LK, I’m going to enslave and abuse sentient creatures that had nothing to do with this among many other things”
I feel like they’ve retconned the origin of the nether in almost every way except officially stating it. If it has a zerith it was created the same way as the others unless the creators doubled back after making the void and light.
He will respawn in few centuries.

Aren’t mythic fights considered non cannon? Or is it the other way around?
With the state of the lore, nobody can answer that. Initially, it was that they did in fact just die as we would. Then it was “Oh well they die, but they then regenerate like the Elemental Lords where they will never truly die unless slain in their specific domain which is the Twisting Nether.”
In Legion, so the literal next expansion it then changed to Sargeras was using Argus (world soul) as a battery to infinitely revive his armies. Then was changed AGAIN to be some mix of 2 and 3 where “They only truly die in the Twisting Nether, but it takes so long to regenerate and the world soul makes that process much quicker.”
In terms of saving entire planets full of people… yes, it was.
That is such a wrong interpretation of what happened. LOL
Other way around. Mythic is canon.
I am actually not sure here. I think they aren’t considered canon as to not deprive story from the people who do the LFR as that’s the entire point it exists to begin with was complaints over not seeing the story because they didn’t want to commit to a guild roster to see it.
I know in FF the higher difficulties are quite literally you tell a minstrel the story and him embellishing it with crazy details to add spice to the tale. I am not sure if Blizzard ever took an actual stance, I mostly am presuming my answer for the reason given and they made a big deal about that and still somewhat do with their worship of player engagement metrics.
The answer was “yes, if a demon dies in twisting nether, that demon is dead forever”, before cata. Now, flip a coin.
God I hate wow lore.
They absolutely are the canon ending.
That seems like a very dumb thing to do on Blizzards part.
It’s incentive to run the highest difficulty.
