Years later, the Titans created Azeroth - and the planet flourished. And so Sargeras formed the Burning Legion and began his campaign of worldly destruction, intent on fixing what he believed were the errors the Titans had made. The only way to correct the mistakes of the Titans was to undo them entirely. The madness that befell Sargeras convinced him that since chaos and evil were the only absolutes in the universe, he himself must become a propagator of evil. Because of this, Sargeras turned from the Titans for good.īut turning away wasn't enough. They were trying to correct the natural order of the universe, and the universe was turning more chaotic in response. And in that moment, he realized that the Titans themselves were responsible for the failure of the universe. It was obvious that chaos and evil were the absolutes in the universe, not the exception. Plagued with self-doubt, Sargeras came to the realization that the concept of order was a fallacy. And when he began to think upon it more, his belief in the universe as a place of order and good came into question. Though Sargeras defeated the demons, the thoughts of their deeds and the motives behind them plagued him, dragging him into a place of despair. There was no purpose to it there was no benefit. When finally confronted with the nazrethim, Sargeras was forced to take a good look at a race of beings that managed to turn entire nations against each other with their manipulations. And when Sargeras was confronted time and time again with the notion of evil in the universe, it slowly began to change him for the worse. Like the rest of the Titans, Sargeras could not even fathom the idea of evil the Titans were a pure, altruistic race. Sargeras was the Champion of the Pantheon at the time, determined to rid the universe of chaos and evil. Long ago, before the creation of Azeroth as we know it today, the Titans traveled from world to world on a mission of order.

Is it a matter of stubborn persistence? Or is there some other reason we're the focus of the universe's heralds of hatred? What is Sargeras' fascination with our tiny planet, anyway?
