What If... Medivh Did Not Kill Nielas Aran?

When Medivh turned 14 years of age he was stressed about the weight on his shoulders as future guardian. When his father Nielas Aran, a very talented and powerful mage, began to teach him like he did most days, more ways of magic. As Medivh began to cast one of his spells, he begins to lose control. The lingering presence of Sargeras within him controls his spells to target his father. Nielas reacts quickly and puts up a strong magical shield to absorb the blast. With the raw magical energy Medivh fell into a coma.

What happens next? Will Nielas Aran and Aegwynn succseffuly subdue Medivh when corrupted by Sargeras? Will Nielas aid him with the darkness lingering within him? What do you think?

If your aim is to rewrite the entire story, go to town. Certain things do have to happen in order to give us the world we have today, and one of them is Medivh’s act of patricide. Others include Aegwynn’s complete failure to manage her son.

Medivh would probably tie his dad to a chair when he got older and force him to watch while he tended to his concubines

Does Nielas know that Medivh is being controlled by Sargeras in this situation? Does he think it was an accident?
