@@2TheExile His name before he went crazy was Neltharion. Xaxas is what the kaldorei called him after he went crazy, because it means Chaos in Darnassian.
Can we all, years later, still appreciate the fact that in lore, Deathwing's body was falling apart, so he had his followers make red-hot elementium plates to forge ONTO his body to hold it together because of the sheer amount of uncontrolled, dark magic within him? The fact that he created an entire DRAGONFLIGHT on his own using the dark magic of the Old Ones? That he ACTUALLY sundered Azeroth, and years later, we're still seeing the marks of his time upon the world? Many antagonists WANT to destroy things. Deathwing DID it.
“Pain... Agony... My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake... beneath my rage. But at last, the whole of Azeroth will break. And all will burn... beneath the shadow... of my wings...” -Deathwing, Cataclysm Cinematic Trailer
It's crazy to notice how the music was very different from WoTLK and Cata, Wrath you heard icy, mysterious, spine-chilling music, but on cata, its like all hope is lost and the entire world is being destroyed by a chaotic hell driven dragon.
Cataclysm really gives you that big feel of raw power, chaos and destruction. Rewatching the Trailer for Cata, you realise how impresive the music is in combination with the imagery. The gigantic monster that is Deathwing, his every movement causing mayhem and destruction to the world, alongside this mighty tune. Heads off to Blizzard, to be honest.
In WoW, I agree, Arthas beats DW slightly. But if you include the WoW books, DW is a million times more badass. Ner'Zhul was just an orc that regretted helping the Legion and was tortured, killed and revived until he agreed to keep helping them. Arthas was prince, but a very bratty one to begin with. Just two people being douches together, with power over the undead. Neltharion was already plotting with the Old Gods since before the Sundering, 10000 years before the current events in WoW. He manipulated the dragons in the War of the Ancients, the Alliance during the Second War, and of course, the in-game events related to the Hour of Twilight. Whenever he's not demolishing cities, he's plotting in disguise to weave history in his favor.
I love Deathwing, I love his concept, and best of all, I love his music. The Spine of Deathwing fight, however, is still completely and utterly borked.
Great villain, not quite on the level of Arthas in terms of interacting with the player, but that makes sense, since Deathwing's motives are so alien to us as players, and he's not as relatable. Still, really loved that he'd just randomly show up and set fire to an entire zone, instantly killing anyone in it. Gave the world a sense of danger. Too bad about his actual boss fights though.
TheYoungtrust Yes, but I'm not talking about his offspring. I'm talking about direct references. The last time we even remotely heard from Deathwing was in Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness.
I think it was enough hi9nt when we actually took both his son and daughter to the floor, that Deathwing was going to rush us with an angry face... DS deceptioned me a bit.
I still remember the damn shitstorm when everyone saw the destruction wrought upon Azeroth in the cinematics and went "OH MY GOD THEY'RE LITERALLY BLOWING UP HALF THE WORLD DUDE." and Deathwing was flying around setting things on fire for little reason than just doing it. And it was cool. I want that back.
Of all the stuff in Cataclysm, this theme is probably the best thing to come from it. It knocks out WotLK's, Mop's, etc. this theme is just so amazing, epic, and breathes death!
But we have to admit Wrath overall had the best cinematic trailer. The music, the chilling story behind it, the atmosphere, that Terenas narration, the rise of Sindragosa... yeah. Not to mention it looked pretty much real - that was definitely one of Blizzard's best CGI works ever.
He had Epic Dialogue. Pain... Agony... My Hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. It's wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage. But at last, the whole of Azeroth will break. And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings...

Indeed, the hour of twilight would have corrupted the world soul with void, and thus bring shadow to the entire universe azeroths world soul is the strongest in the universe
"The elves had another name for him, spoken only in whispers and only in the elder tongue almost forgotten. *Xaxas* . A short title with many meanings, all dire. Chaos, Fury. The embodiment of elemental rage such as found in erupting volcanoes or shattering earthquakes. If Alexstrasza represented the elements of life that bound the world together, then Deathwing exemplified the destructive forces that constantly sought to rip it apart."
Xaxas is another name for deathwing, given to him by the mortal races of Azeroth after he became corrupted and thus was not worthy of being called aspect of the earth any longer.
Those were simpler times. I remember the first time I watched the Cataclysm cinematic on TH-cam, weeks before it launched. Someone said that the Stormwind theme sounded so... heroic. In a way, it does. But I thought it sounded more... desperate. Another person - Horde player, obviously - was amused by what I said. "Haha, puny Alliance", something to that effect. So I clarified. Desperate in the sense of... Stormwind's final stand. The return of Deathwing. The end of Azeroth. _The Hour of Twilight._
Pain....Agony....My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage. But at last....The whole of Azeroth will break....And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings.
My best memories are from back then, and it's my favorite. I was just starting back then but hell I enjoyed it. I just wish dragon soul was a little bit better.
This song makes me want to see Death Battle do Deathwing vs. Alduin. Sure, the fight would be one sided as fuck as well as immensely short, but it'd be fun to watch. :D
+Zonsku Pelaa Smaug was fucking lame, he got fucked by 1 damn arrow in the beginning of the last part of film. But was built up as this menacing threat that will fucking deep fry the whole village
Deathwing is pretty much a god, Smaug is just a dragon. The only reason he was a threat was because he could easily kill humans and elves because of his size

I remember that this was the expansion where everyone started to believe that Blizzard was heavily biased towards the Horde, and for good reason considering the evidence.
I think it was his arrogance that stopped him from simply destroying the world outright, many villains in the warcraft universe suffer from the same thing.
They conveyed a great enemy in Cataclysm with him, not only he had been able to cause a whole world change, but he was shown to be able to bring about the end of all Azeroth in one single hit, the Well of Eternity, also showed the prime point of no return for his insanity. The raid of Dragon Soul might not be spectacular, but the end with him is, either you win, or you lose Azeroth with you. He left the Dragonflights mortal and open for an attack, not bad for an enemy mostly left out since WC2.
+DoctahPeppah Their is "Gods" and "Gods" you know. Gods with planetary destruction powers and universal Gods who can delete galaxies, not the same level, but for mortals they are all Gods because of their insane powers in compare to them. In God of War, they are island destructors (and really few of them). Deathwing is godlike in WoW, he's rage and destruction incarnate. The last spell of Deathwing (the one we interrupted by killing him) was the last Cataclysm, world destruction level. And nothing can kill Deathwing, no mortals, no Gods of his level (other aspects), only the Dragon Soul with all the powers of the other Aspects : God like creatures gave their powers (ALL their powers, even their immortality) just to charge a Godlike weapon able to kill the most powerful dragon ever. Well. I don't really like Deathwing as a villain, because he's a little bit too powerful in my opinion : even Blizzard had hard time to find a way to kill him. And that was a giant plot hole (we stole the dragon soul from the past... Nozdormu wtf ?)
+Mister Sunlight It's not actually that much of a plot hole if you think about it. Once the Dragon Soul was used and Nozdormu lost his power (along with the other aspects), it sort of got "snapped back" to were it would have been in history without the Aspect of Time's power holding it in the present. Thus, creating a stable time loop.
I like how almost every main bad guy in this game (aside from kil'jaeden) has had a tragic story;Illidan: Who was betrayed by everyone he held dear and was banished by his own brother, ended up dying for no real purpose, also his love for tyrande was unrequited. Arthas a.k.a The Lich King: Literally sacrificed everything for the sake of his people yet died as nothing more as a martyr and had to be replaced by someone else thus continuing the sad tale of the lich king.
@@tywinlannister8015 The Dovahkiin, with the power of the voice, in the lore, can shatter mountains, blow away armies. The Greybeards are able to literally shake the world with one single word, which is why they almost never speak. Give The Elder Scrolls more credit. Not to mention, the Dovahkiin defeated the Dragon that is meant to literally devour the world, reset time, and start everything over. But Deathwing is big so he wins, right? He's just a puppet. A puppet of the Old Gods. Dovahkiin can, and would contend with him. Yes, I am replying to a 3 year old comment. You're welcome for enlightening you👊😎👌
I love the metallic "clang", like in the terminator theme. I always imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger standing in the back of the orchestra, hammering on an anvil.
From what I understand, the reason he was acting so contradictory to that image provided in lore is that by the events of Cataclysm, Neltharion's mind had deteriorated so badly that he barely had any identity of his own, let alone any of his former cunning.
Matthew Slee Personally, I think Ancalagon alone is worthy of fear. It took an army of eagles and a demi-god Elf in an airship 24 hours to finally kill him. Deathwing required one 25-man raid and a mary sue the duration of a raid to kill him.
Havic1137 It took 25 man + Dragon soul (power of all aspects except deathwing) and the aspects themselves to stop deathwing and this guy can destroy cities with just flying over them.
Matthew Slee Perhaps a Deathwing of size of Galakrond? Since Deathwing is way smaller than Ancalagon, positive plus negative equal negative. Galakrond's size will be perfect I think.
TheWhiteFaction PVE as hard? It was basically BC PVE, just with 10 times more whiners. Besides, I was talking about about Cata in general. That includes that year long Dragon Soul and that 4.1 that for some reason only put 2 dungeons, which, may I add, were the worst two dungeons to put ever.
13 37 Yeah i start playing in TBC and i have to say Cataclysm had best visual gear. But nothing will beat the warlock wings in TBC. Most epic gear blizzard made for players.
Regardless of the other opinions I still think that Cataclysm was the best expansion so far. It brought the game to a ways more modern level. Faster spell system, better water ftw and so on
i think, that Lich was best for those, who played Warcraft, and Panda was good/best (better than WoD, anyway) for new players. I started in late Crusade, then played through Lich (very casual, no grind, no serious PvP/PvE progress), then in Cata i played until well known "time" event and leave WoW until Panda. In Panda i created my new main (resto-sham) and two add pers (priest and monk) and for me, Panda experience and lore were great and i still miss Panda a lot. Sorry for my crap english and long stories.
I think what they failed to translate was how his madness was finally taking it's toll; it was way too downplayed as "the whispers of the old ones growing worse in recent years"; hence, he could still act as he did in Cata and it still made sense; he was losing what little vestiges of sanity were left in him by Cata. Still, it was neat to see the dragon feared by ALL races in legend ravage the world.
I know I'm late to the party, but it actually did appear in the games, but only through quest texts, and a lot of people simply clicked accept and didn't read the texts most lore in Shadow Highlands near Grim Batol (Cho'Galls Hideout) but Darkshore, Thousand Needles and especially Silithus and the deserts south of it had a lot of lore in the quest texts
Death wing not only destroyed Azeroth, it also marked the beginning of the end of what could've been. Too bad eh, you got our quick nostalgia hit of classic and now it's dead as a door nail. Anyone with sense saw it coming
Yes, thats quite right. Of course players see it as months of farming and killing and so on, but the main story with the Rise of Deathwing to his fall is only at the most a few days long.
Delving into WoW music and nostalgia, I can easily forgive Cataclysm a great deal of things... except for the final fight. It seems that they've learned from their mistake in MoP and made Garrosh a vivid multi-phase teleporting encounter, akin to the classic stuff. But damn how good it could've been if DW could be different. -Spine does look epic on paper, but people don't feel the epicness and watch the surroundings, when they are breaking keyboards from being knocked off the "platform" and have to tunnelvision one of the tightest dps bursts in the game. Why couldn't it be an epic chase, teleporting from one major city another, which Deathwing tries to destroy. Adds mechanics, minibosses, clickable stuff to deter Deathwing etc - 2nd to last "boss" could've been so much more flavorful. And for the big guy himself - that's where the part with Spine\DPS burst could be implemented as a micro-phase, sort of group split. I understand that no single tank can tank a mountain, but there are ways to .... "make it happen". Madness fight also looks epic on paper, but after 1-2 tries - devolves into tunnelvisioned target nuke with little to no care for environment... Such a missed opportunity for a pretty major character.... Oh well, history can not be changed, let's remember Deathwing as THE badass... and not as a silly couple of encounters that Blizz presented him as.
Well said friend. Look at some of the dragon fights in guild wars 2 (Not the final one, but dragons like the Shatterer, Tequatl, Plaguebringer). there is always a ton of stuff to do besides smacking the dragon's booty and killing the ads. They have cannons ready for players to use, mortars, big semi-sciency-fantasy-laser-thingies. If they could've done that with the deathwing fight, that would've been so much more epic
@Rykanable Lich King - Arthas an ner'zhul together, being able to stop ur heart by just blinking Deathwing - a crazed Aspect that has been blessed by the Titans, corrupted by the old Gods and now a puppet of them... and the fact that the LK is a puppet of Kil'Jaeden doesnt make him weak... Deathwing is though
Deathwings arrival seen first hand by the humans of Stormwind. Imagine going to the cheese man to buy your cheese and the sky turns smoky red and giant dragon lands on your city. Insane
Just one think, Illidan started working for the nagas during WotA and eventully wanted more power, which is why he was bannished, he was a threat and his brother saw that ... Also, his brother took the exile with him and Illidan got out from the emerald nightmare before his brother
And finally Neltharion a.k.a Deathwing: He who was once the noble and just earthwarder, reduced to nothing more than a molten abomination of hate and rage by the old gods who were sealed away in the very depths he once protected. And in the end he met his destruction as nothing more than a pawn in the old gods plans to free themselves. Hell even Sargeras has a tragic tale all his own.

Honestly, I think Deathwing was one of the most badass villains in WoW. Arthas still beats him by a small margin.

and to think he was voiced by the man himself
Don't forget Garrosh dude... Don't forget him...

"Death is not a part of life, Death is a raging god that hungers for more victims".
Where's that quote from?

Kaisergun The Spine of Deathwing is the biggest pain in the prostate ever conceived by Blizzard. :(
And the concept was great but poorly executed.
So...Much...orange....
When I listen to this, I picture Kratos vs Deathwing.
DoctahPeppah Deathwing stomps. Kratos has nothing.
Bracken Idk, He did kill the entire pantheon of Greek gods. I'd imagine He'd work through Deathwing in an instant.
DoctahPeppah Greek Gods with mountain level destructive capability at best. Deathwing cracked the planet by throwing a tantrum underground.
+DoctahPeppah Their is "Gods" and "Gods" you know. Gods with planetary destruction powers and universal Gods who can delete galaxies, not the same level, but for mortals they are all Gods because of their insane powers in compare to them. In God of War, they are island destructors (and really few of them). Deathwing is godlike in WoW, he's rage and destruction incarnate.
The last spell of Deathwing (the one we interrupted by killing him) was the last Cataclysm, world destruction level.
And nothing can kill Deathwing, no mortals, no Gods of his level (other aspects), only the Dragon Soul with all the powers of the other Aspects : God like creatures gave their powers (ALL their powers, even their immortality) just to charge a Godlike weapon able to kill the most powerful dragon ever. Well.
I don't really like Deathwing as a villain, because he's a little bit too powerful in my opinion : even Blizzard had hard time to find a way to kill him. And that was a giant plot hole (we stole the dragon soul from the past... Nozdormu wtf ?)
+Mister Sunlight It's not actually that much of a plot hole if you think about it.
Once the Dragon Soul was used and Nozdormu lost his power (along with the other aspects), it sort of got "snapped back" to were it would have been in history without the Aspect of Time's power holding it in the present. Thus, creating a stable time loop.
I love deathwing lore and how he looked in cataclysm
I like how almost every main bad guy in this game (aside from kil'jaeden) has had a tragic story;Illidan: Who was betrayed by everyone he held dear and was banished by his own brother, ended up dying for no real purpose, also his love for tyrande was unrequited.
Arthas a.k.a The Lich King: Literally sacrificed everything for the sake of his people yet died as nothing more as a martyr and had to be replaced by someone else thus continuing the sad tale of the lich king.
I'd like to see the dragonborn take on this giant metallic fiery lizard.
+The King Dango He'd get rekt before he could even say Fus.
+The King Dango deathwing is the only final boss who is easier to kill than alduin. So I'd imagine dragonborn would win
Neo-Notzi Nayber Neel Well I mean from a lore perspective, Warcraft characters are generally way more powerful then Elder Scrolls characters.
97.5% fire resist EZ katka
@@tywinlannister8015 The Dovahkiin, with the power of the voice, in the lore, can shatter mountains, blow away armies. The Greybeards are able to literally shake the world with one single word, which is why they almost never speak. Give The Elder Scrolls more credit. Not to mention, the Dovahkiin defeated the Dragon that is meant to literally devour the world, reset time, and start everything over. But Deathwing is big so he wins, right? He's just a puppet. A puppet of the Old Gods. Dovahkiin can, and would contend with him. Yes, I am replying to a 3 year old comment. You're welcome for enlightening you👊😎👌
I love the metallic "clang", like in the terminator theme. I always imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger standing in the back of the orchestra, hammering on an anvil.
Best. Triangle. Ever.
brace yourself...
*deathwing farts - Auberdine gets crushed, Barrens get split, a lot of wild animals go nuts and crazy and shit*
Deathwing is coming!
Yep
you know what i'm thinking? Kratos VS Deathwing. THAT would be epic.
hell yeah! that would be the most amazing thing ever!
Impossibro.
And then Asura comes in with his Berserk form and kills them both! >:D
Deathwing would kill them with a single fireblast.
Smash button for 45 minutes.
From what I understand, the reason he was acting so contradictory to that image provided in lore is that by the events of Cataclysm, Neltharion's mind had deteriorated so badly that he barely had any identity of his own, let alone any of his former cunning.
Fyrakk < Deathwing
Hello everyone, how hyped would you be if there was hybrid of Deathwing and Ancalagon?
Matthew Slee Personally, I think Ancalagon alone is worthy of fear. It took an army of eagles and a demi-god Elf in an airship 24 hours to finally kill him. Deathwing required one 25-man raid and a mary sue the duration of a raid to kill him.
Havic1137
Hmm... You do have a point.
Havic1137 It took 25 man + Dragon soul (power of all aspects except deathwing) and the aspects themselves to stop deathwing and this guy can destroy cities with just flying over them.
Matthew Slee GG.No Re.
Matthew Slee Perhaps a Deathwing of size of Galakrond?
Since Deathwing is way smaller than Ancalagon, positive plus negative equal negative. Galakrond's size will be perfect I think.
1:38 is honestly the best part.
We need a bad guy like Deathwing, one who just wants to watch the world BURN.
And one that's actually threatening.
i started in cata and i loved it special how warrior was and how cool the gear of warrior was damn
Honestly, the only way someone would love Cata is if you started in Cata, so you got lucky :P
Gogito4 Reckstorm keebaaam
Gogito4
I started in vanilla and early cata when pve was hard was my favorite moment
TheWhiteFaction PVE as hard? It was basically BC PVE, just with 10 times more whiners.
Besides, I was talking about about Cata in general. That includes that year long Dragon Soul and that 4.1 that for some reason only put 2 dungeons, which, may I add, were the worst two dungeons to put ever.
13 37 Yeah i start playing in TBC and i have to say Cataclysm had best visual gear. But nothing will beat the warlock wings in TBC. Most epic gear blizzard made for players.
lord of the rings desolation of smaug will end in 15 minutes if deathwing is in the movie xD
I am fire........I am de...OH SHIT
lol smaug isn't even 1/3 the size of deathwing
1:38 you can hear a humanlike/stormwindlike melody. I really like that do someone knows other songs that has that kind of melody?
guess it's because DW landed on the towers of SW. and SW themes are all over the soundtracks
Malefor: u cent defeat me i am enternal
Deathwing : u WANT ME !????
with stuff like that wow is less of a game and more of a fucking epic playable movie
I can't help but feel cataclysm should have been the last expansion for wow
but then we never wouldve had legion
True
technically yes it should have been, and I ended up with that. but blizzard wants money.
I liked it all the way until Legion. Legion to me felt like the ending of WoW.
Regardless of the other opinions I still think that Cataclysm was the best expansion so far. It brought the game to a ways more modern level. Faster spell system, better water ftw and so on
no wrath was the best expansion
but vanilla was still best version
+FearRipper74 that's your personal opinion. I have my one. Go along.
i think, that Lich was best for those, who played Warcraft, and Panda was good/best (better than WoD, anyway) for new players. I started in late Crusade, then played through Lich (very casual, no grind, no serious PvP/PvE progress), then in Cata i played until well known "time" event and leave WoW until Panda. In Panda i created my new main (resto-sham) and two add pers (priest and monk) and for me, Panda experience and lore were great and i still miss Panda a lot.
Sorry for my crap english and long stories.
Modern doesn't necessarily = good
8 months later...7 dislikes: Alexstrasza,Ysera,Nozdormu,Kalecgos,Thrall,Malfurion...and Arthas.
1:35 Best part
Chen converts 3 ancient dragons.mp4
King Fedorah upvote this post for the good of future generations
King Fedorah all will burn beneath the shadow... of his aghanims.
I think what they failed to translate was how his madness was finally taking it's toll; it was way too downplayed as "the whispers of the old ones growing worse in recent years"; hence, he could still act as he did in Cata and it still made sense; he was losing what little vestiges of sanity were left in him by Cata.
Still, it was neat to see the dragon feared by ALL races in legend ravage the world.
I know I'm late to the party, but it actually did appear in the games, but only through quest texts, and a lot of people simply clicked accept and didn't read the texts
most lore in Shadow Highlands near Grim Batol (Cho'Galls Hideout) but Darkshore, Thousand Needles and especially Silithus and the deserts south of it had a lot of lore in the quest texts
ich werde ihn vermissen .....machs gut todesschwinge .... ;(((( i will miss him ...good bye deathwing ...;(((((((
In my opinion Cataclysm was awesome!
*"I. AM. THE. CATACLYYYSSSMMM!!!"*
if you guys didnt know, Xaxas is a name given to Deathwing by the Night Elfs
Death wing not only destroyed Azeroth, it also marked the beginning of the end of what could've been. Too bad eh, you got our quick nostalgia hit of classic and now it's dead as a door nail. Anyone with sense saw it coming
cata classic is doing perfectly fine lol keep coping loser
1:09 ITS WRETCHED KINGDOMS QUAKE BENEATH MY RAGE
it's a good soundtrack for deathwing
Yes, thats quite right. Of course players see it as months of farming and killing and so on, but the main story with the Rise of Deathwing to his fall is only at the most a few days long.
Why this music is nostalgic
Deathwing for president
wish if it could be longer.
And All shall burn, Beneath the Shadow of my wings.
Delving into WoW music and nostalgia, I can easily forgive Cataclysm a great deal of things... except for the final fight. It seems that they've learned from their mistake in MoP and made Garrosh a vivid multi-phase teleporting encounter, akin to the classic stuff.
But damn how good it could've been if DW could be different.
-Spine does look epic on paper, but people don't feel the epicness and watch the surroundings, when they are breaking keyboards from being knocked off the "platform" and have to tunnelvision one of the tightest dps bursts in the game.
Why couldn't it be an epic chase, teleporting from one major city another, which Deathwing tries to destroy. Adds mechanics, minibosses, clickable stuff to deter Deathwing etc - 2nd to last "boss" could've been so much more flavorful.
And for the big guy himself - that's where the part with Spine\DPS burst could be implemented as a micro-phase, sort of group split.
I understand that no single tank can tank a mountain, but there are ways to .... "make it happen".
Madness fight also looks epic on paper, but after 1-2 tries - devolves into tunnelvisioned target nuke with little to no care for environment... Such a missed opportunity for a pretty major character....
Oh well, history can not be changed, let's remember Deathwing as THE badass... and not as a silly couple of encounters that Blizz presented him as.
Well said friend. Look at some of the dragon fights in guild wars 2 (Not the final one, but dragons like the Shatterer, Tequatl, Plaguebringer). there is always a ton of stuff to do besides smacking the dragon's booty and killing the ads. They have cannons ready for players to use, mortars, big semi-sciency-fantasy-laser-thingies. If they could've done that with the deathwing fight, that would've been so much more epic
@Rykanable Lich King - Arthas an ner'zhul together, being able to stop ur heart by just blinking
Deathwing - a crazed Aspect that has been blessed by the Titans, corrupted by the old Gods and now a puppet of them... and the fact that the LK is a puppet of Kil'Jaeden doesnt make him weak... Deathwing is though
how could someone dislike this?
THEY SHALL BURN BY DEATHWING'S FIRE
1:35 - This is where the fun begins
Deathwings arrival seen first hand by the humans of Stormwind. Imagine going to the cheese man to buy your cheese and the sky turns smoky red and giant dragon lands on your city. Insane
"I AM DEATH INCARNATE!"
The most metal dragon in all of fantasy.
(in more than one sense of the word)
They had to play this music in GOT S8E5.
Best WoW song.
Just one think, Illidan started working for the nagas during WotA and eventully wanted more power, which is why he was bannished, he was a threat and his brother saw that ... Also, his brother took the exile with him and Illidan got out from the emerald nightmare before his brother
And finally Neltharion a.k.a Deathwing: He who was once the noble and just earthwarder, reduced to nothing more than a molten abomination of hate and rage by the old gods who were sealed away in the very depths he once protected. And in the end he met his destruction as nothing more than a pawn in the old gods plans to free themselves. Hell even Sargeras has a tragic tale all his own.
