Highfather Aman'Thul, it is said that corruption is like a tree. Its roots lie in darkness while its leaves wave in the sun. You can prune away its branches, even cut the tree to the ground but it will grow again, ever stronger. Such is the nature of the void and why it is so difficult to destroy. Some may question my right to destroy a universe of hundred trillions souls, but those who understand realize I have no right to let them live. No sacrifice is too great, no treachery too small.
Sargeras is essentially like a virus to us. It exists naturally and has a goal, but for our survival we must kill it. It has nothing to do with right or wrong.
@@asmrtpop2676 You can argue that his ultimate goal is not wrong, even right, but if you look at how sadistic he has been while pursuing his goal it's really difficult to argue he's not evil.

Props to Rachel for the art in this vid - it was great, loved the depiction of Azeroth's Soul and Sargeras with his ginger beard :D and the lore was really interesting
I think a better way to describe what is cosmic horror (lovecraft) isn't simply how strong something is.... it is a being that is so far beyond human comprehension that we are unable to actually understand what it is. That is far more of a frightening concept than something being overpowered.
So since BFA dropped with the Void influence being a relatively pivotal point, I have been peeling through as much lore as humanly possible.

@@shadowgamer4306 Tbf here, the Titans held sway over reality. The Void Lords couldn’t even enter Reality, which was why they were so envious of their power. Nothing implies they were weaker or anything like that.
I feel like the void lords are like the Chaos gods in Warhammer, entities that are powerful but that can’t leave their own realms/domains. The old gods and other void beings are created by them from their own essence
#SargerasDidNothingWrong Jokes aside, I really wish they explore a bit more of this idea of the Naaru's "twisted" views on the Light that they hinted at Legion. Would be pretty cool to see how "The Light" can also be as bad as "The Void".
I really, really hope they dont go that route. I swear that is just a cliche at this point, its so overdone. I swear its more common for the 'light' or 'holy' side to actually be evil/"Morally grey" now than it is for them to actually be good.
The illustrations are awesome. I especially loved the one of the void lord flinging a piece of themselves at Azeroth. xD I like how calmly you explain terrible happenings in the lore.
The voidlords ARE powerful, they just suffer from the "Bill Cypher" complex: They exist outside our physical plane, and interacts very weakly with it. Proportional power can summon them in proportional ways in our universe, few power like Ultris manaforge can summon them in a VERY WEAK state to the point they are a elite boss in BC. But corrupting a Titan and using them as vessels to enter our universe and theres nothing, and i repeat, NOTHING that can stop them at this point, and still this is just their avatar on our physical realm, just limited by the titan's limits, as their full power is incomprehensible to us
Bill Cypher didn't really suffer though because he was able to gain a physical form and unleash Weirdmaggedon on to Gravity Falls. But the void lords do have a greater obstacle considering they can't just break a cosmic snow globe and win.
Bugs me that the Void Lords are above the Old Gods, but whenever you see the Void Lords visually represented, they are just big Voidwalkers?? That’s stupid AF…
One notable difference between the Void Lords and true Lovecraftian horror is the fact that the Void Lords seek to corrupt makes them ironically flawed. In Lovecraftian horror the Great Old Ones don't want things as petty as "power" or to corrupt they kind of just _VIBE MENACINGLY_ while their cosmic plans are on a level beyond our possible understanding. Even the most intelligent being can't comprehend the mechanizations of the Great Old Ones any more than an ant can understand _our_ intentions. Corruption and power are totally shallow goals for something on that scale, but I suppose Blizzard still needed to dumb the Void Lords down enough to be understood by the players.
You are far too worried about the Void Lords. A Windrunner is now a void elf, she will be written to increase in strength by acquiring nonspecific things over time and then take over the void. I mean, if Sylvanas can do it to death, why not her sister?

This is what happens when confronting the true evil of warcraft: Power Creep. Bitches always want to get stronger and stronger and stronger like they are dragonball Z motherfuckers. And like dragonball, they eventually get to the point where they can blow up planets, and then solar systems, and then galaxies, and then entire realities. And... It's just incredibly stupid because you lose all scope of anything meaningful. People need to learn from Harry Potter. The most sinister and evil character in Harry Potter was not Voldemort the edgelord, it was Umbridge. She had no omnipotent power or invincibility, she was just a bitch, but she abused what power and authority she had to maximum effectiveness to hurt everyone as much as she could get away with. Stopppppp with the god damn power creep. It is ridiculous. Warcraft had a better story because the threats and villains were tangible and real. Power Creep only works if you plot out the story that way from the very start and know exactly where it ends and then put a stop to it, which I don't see activision doing to their cash cow.
What is it with characters in Warcraft doing what was neccesary and difficult and being hated for it? Arthas / Sargeras / Illidan, all of them getting shit for getting shit done smh
What is the light and shadow? Is it true that the light corrupts? In the chronicles it says that the universe was once only light and eventually pockets of shadow came. I don't think the light can "corrupt" things but only purify-- returning things to the way it was in the beginning when all things were one. That's why the shadow represents many paths including lies, while the light represents only one path.
WoW was the worst thing to happen to warcraft lore. With everything being retconned eventually it makes following the lore really uninteresting because you know that it will all be changed every few years.
Void Lordsare basically “we wrote off all the established villains already and need another faceless one dimensional enemy to justify another expansion”.
But Hiru, what could have created the Void Lords? Like a shadow behind those out of world godly existences, they hide in the wait of new plot releases.

Remember when the Titans covered in fear at the name of the old gods and the full pantheor was needed to kill one and still one of them died on the fight? Me too, me too...
The old gods were never that strong.... The titans mostly used their construct Keepers and Giants to battle the old gods because they didnt want to directly interfere with the universe/world. Hell, Aman literally pulled Y'sarj from the world but after dropping his heart and seeing the wound it left on Azeroth decided not to interfere. Not to mention the Old Gods had the empires of Nerub, AQ, and Klaxxi and they also had the elemental lords [rag, alakir etc] and their forces backing them aswell. In short, Old Gods arent that strong compared to titans individually, its the cost of battling the Old Gods as to why theyre so dangerous
it really sounds like you're thinking of the battle between the titan keepers and the C'Thraxxi. Where titan keeper tyr sacrificed himself to save Archaedas and Ironaya and kill the C'thraxxi known as Zakazj
Red Shirt Gaming he’s talking about pre-chronicle lore that stated the old gods were basically the most powerful and corrupt beings. Chaos for the sake of chaos beyond mortal comprehension. Where if they were released sargaras himself would beg before them on his knees. Yeah they took that awesome lore and threw it away with chronicles. Not that chronicles was bad - it’s just that the old lore was way better.
These illustrations combined with the verbiage used to describe everything, regardless of whether or not I've seen a million videos over these topics and already know it all now, made this super enjoyable and I couldn't scroll down to the comments until it was over because I didn't want to miss an illustration.

#Sargersdidnothingwrong Truly, he did everything for a greater purpose. On the other hand, we adventurers are the true agents of chaos. We bring deaths and destructions wherever we go, simply for gold, fame (titles / achievements), and power (gear and weapons). Some of us even go as far as causing massive genocides just to find certain creatures that can be tamed into mounts.
Void Lords aren't inherently corruptive, the tools they create through old gods and lesser entities ARE-- for the purpose of creating a place/situation that can allow for a void lord to manifest, and then literally feast on the fabric of reality-- they don't corrupt, they literally DELETE EXISTENCE outside of their own plane of the void.
@@hirumaredx I'm not at all surprised with a voice like butter and great illustrations they are great for people new to warcraft lore and work as a refresher to those already acquainted to it
Can we talk about how stupid sargeras plan really was? He destroys all life in the universe in an attempt to stop the void lord and start the universe anew.. what's to stop the void lords just doing the same thing over and over again?
I am more powerful, than a void lord, ... ... because I have the void-lord-glyph on my warlock. And thus I can command one of those totally overpowered entities with ease. I don't know, what the problem is.
I don't understand. You say they are not individual entities outside the universe and yet you keep referring as "them". How did Sargeras find them? Did he just find darkness in space and assume it's evil and had a conscience? How can the void lords be "they" if they have trouble taking shape? What form did they exist in? I'm confused.
That is a bad idea. Storytelling in a fantasy setting does not work this way! Oh yes you can have a super powered overlord like Sauron, but you have angels on your side, even if they are strange ones like Gandalf and Radagast. I like the idea of an angel with a spliff in his nose! Anyway, cosmic horror is a trope for cosmic horror games like dark souls or somelike. You need to break down your evil to some extent to make it manageable for players, even as ridiculously powerful as endgame wowsers! The voidlords are adversaries for Titans and the likes of Sargeras. Not players! This avenue of thought is a cul de sac, which leads to madness and despair. Dont go there!
Pretty cool concept then if there’s void lords and light lords but they can corrupt other beings just in their own unique ways and philosophy’s but ultimately they are both different kinds of evil.
On the one hand, I love Lovecraftian fiction. On the other hand, it’s really convenient having a cosmic level creature that cannot be comprehended by mortals as the main antagonist for a game that’s been having trouble developing solid lore.
Blizzard turning old gods into little bitches and making void lords as powerful as the old gods used to be said to be was their way of retconning the players into being able to kill the old gods. All that being said, when Ian took the story over from Metzen, the whole thing went to hell.
You think there are planets with no titan inside that just has old gods chilling on it? Or even on like Draenor there is mention of Anzu communing with dark forces beneath the ground etc
Meme supreme uh yeah because the void lords supposedly conjured up old gods and threw them randomly into the great dark beyond. It’s only by chance they hit a planet that contains a sleeping Titan. But I don’t even think the void lords exists because the entire premise of their being doesn’t make sense and there’s no actual evidence they exist, only in story’s.
If you watch this realise the void Lords are the cause of all the enemies we have to fight as they are the reason for the creation of the burning legion, so no orcs on azeroth But also no dwarves humans vrykuls because they are Titans construct made to fight the old gods
5:34 So i remember reading in chronicle that when Sargeras killed the pantheon Norgannon protected their spirits with a spell and sent them to Azeroth to merge with the keepers. Did they ever explain in Legion how Sargeras managed to lock them up on Argus?
they did more or less this blizzcon: the chronicles are books and tales from the perspective of the titans themselves... it's THEIR story, told by THEM, it's hiding the complete truth and twists the events so that they always look like the good guys - so I guess, that the Titans wrote the story this way, so that the mortals who believed in them as that they are all mighty gods (and not defeatable by mortals), unkillable souls, "even their strongest enemy couldn't completely destroy their all powerful will" or something like that with the real events, in where they were imprisoned and corrupted by sargeras, it shows that they are way weaker than they portrayed themselves

On the other hand, we adventurers are the true agents of chaos. We bring deaths and destructions wherever we go, simply for gold, fame (titles / achievements), and power (gear and weapons). Some of us even go as far as causing massive genocides just to find certain creatures that can be tamed into mounts.
Hiru the villains corner is your most viewed play list as of now
Void Lords aren't inherently corruptive, the tools they create through old gods and lesser entities ARE-- for the purpose of creating a place/situation that can allow for a void lord to manifest, and then literally feast on the fabric of reality-- they don't corrupt, they literally DELETE EXISTENCE outside of their own plane of the void.
Rewatching all of these videos, now that I am actually playing this game!
You are a new player ? Cool !
How much time you playing already?
Fun fact: The Villains Corner playlist is the most watched playlist on the channel now.
@@Nick-di9dv I have about 2 days/played with minimal afk time!
@@hirumaredx I'm not at all surprised with a voice like butter and great illustrations they are great for people new to warcraft lore and work as a refresher to those already acquainted to it
@@angrythomas6954 , wow cool. I hope you having fun. Good luck
From what i always understood void lords are basically bigger old gods
Gul’dan next.
How about a villain’s corner on Sylvanas, she has done quite a few bad things to count as a villain
Can we talk about how stupid sargeras plan really was? He destroys all life in the universe in an attempt to stop the void lord and start the universe anew.. what's to stop the void lords just doing the same thing over and over again?
Can't wait to 1 shot the void lord in some future expansion.
If Elune is one thing, it is useless. Anyone who saw Tyrande's quest knows what I mean...
CHO'GALL think bout it!
Rachel's humor in the art is fantastic! Lmao.
I am more powerful, than a void lord, ...
... because I have the void-lord-glyph on my warlock. And thus I can command one of those totally overpowered entities with ease. I don't know, what the problem is.
Wow, this really put Sargeras' final desperate blow to Azeroth into perspective. He was like "Noooo I won't let them corrupt you"
*stabs*
Sounds allot like chaos gods from warhammer 40K... Not the first time that blizzard copied something from that universe.
Great video, I've always been fascinated by the void lords but there's little information online, this video is very interesting and entertaining
Watchers in League of Legends might have been inspired by the void lords.
You are an excellent narrator sir. Very well spoken and easy enough for a peasant like me to understand. Great videos.
I don't understand. You say they are not individual entities outside the universe and yet you keep referring as "them". How did Sargeras find them? Did he just find darkness in space and assume it's evil and had a conscience? How can the void lords be "they" if they have trouble taking shape? What form did they exist in? I'm confused.
That is a bad idea. Storytelling in a fantasy setting does not work this way! Oh yes you can have a super powered overlord like Sauron, but you have angels on your side, even if they are strange ones like Gandalf and Radagast. I like the idea of an angel with a spliff in his nose! Anyway, cosmic horror is a trope for cosmic horror games like dark souls or somelike. You need to break down your evil to some extent to make it manageable for players, even as ridiculously powerful as endgame wowsers! The voidlords are adversaries for Titans and the likes of Sargeras. Not players! This avenue of thought is a cul de sac, which leads to madness and despair. Dont go there!
Love it
Warcraft has a weird fixiation with characters with a lot of X's and H's on their names, hence they must be getting ideas from Lovecraft, absolutely.
But, what if everything was under void, what would happen. Void Lords would become so lonely.
Pretty cool concept then if there’s void lords and light lords but they can corrupt other beings just in their own unique ways and philosophy’s but ultimately they are both different kinds of evil.
Void lords... how to defeat them? Simple.
Dormammu, I've come to bargain!
It's like everyone's a bad guy that corrupts everyone else. Is warcraft becoming warhammer?

The light lords are the players defending the World of Warcraft from the evil corruption of Activision.
On the one hand, I love Lovecraftian fiction. On the other hand, it’s really convenient having a cosmic level creature that cannot be comprehended by mortals as the main antagonist for a game that’s been having trouble developing solid lore.
Blizzard turning old gods into little bitches and making void lords as powerful as the old gods used to be said to be was their way of retconning the players into being able to kill the old gods.
All that being said, when Ian took the story over from Metzen, the whole thing went to hell.
Damn, they can create Universe why not start over again. Its better then lossing everything, Titans are so dumb and illogical.
bet you that Shadowlands is the expansion where we start facing Void Lords - since we killed everyone else.
as a newer player who joined during shadowlands i never saw that cut scene with illidan and i fucked up by not being a demon hunter if its that SICK
Yaay love this series
Void lords are the good guys, the light only brings darkness, the darkness brings the light ....
All hail our tentacly overlords!
*Horny Anime Girls want to know your location*
In this episode of bullshit Blizzard pulled out of nowhere because their writing is awful
So in other words, Chaos Gods.
Warhammer, Warcraft and World Of Warcraft have some similarities.
I AM MY SCARS. That cinematic got me thru a lot of rough times
You think there are planets with no titan inside that just has old gods chilling on it? Or even on like Draenor there is mention of Anzu communing with dark forces beneath the ground etc
Meme supreme uh yeah because the void lords supposedly conjured up old gods and threw them randomly into the great dark beyond. It’s only by chance they hit a planet that contains a sleeping Titan. But I don’t even think the void lords exists because the entire premise of their being doesn’t make sense and there’s no actual evidence they exist, only in story’s.
If you watch this realise the void Lords are the cause of all the enemies we have to fight as they are the reason for the creation of the burning legion, so no orcs on azeroth
But also no dwarves humans vrykuls because they are Titans construct made to fight the old gods
It's OK guys Sylvanas is going to beat the Void Lords!
I wonder if they drop a mount ...
Also I might try too when I would be able to solo.
Nick 12 if the mount isn’t a void version of Goku’s flying nimbus, I will be greatly disappointed
5:34 So i remember reading in chronicle that when Sargeras killed the pantheon Norgannon protected their spirits with a spell and sent them to Azeroth to merge with the keepers. Did they ever explain in Legion how Sargeras managed to lock them up on Argus?
they did more or less this blizzcon:
the chronicles are books and tales from the perspective of the titans themselves...
it's THEIR story, told by THEM, it's hiding the complete truth and twists the events so that they always look like the good guys - so I guess, that the Titans wrote the story this way, so that the mortals who believed in them as that they are all mighty gods (and not defeatable by mortals), unkillable souls, "even their strongest enemy couldn't completely destroy their all powerful will" or something like that
with the real events, in where they were imprisoned and corrupted by sargeras, it shows that they are way weaker than they portrayed themselves
It never gets old seeing ol' Illidan blasting that sanctimonious asshole, Xe'ra, the pieces.
2:10
captions be like:
"and discovered the void Lords exist and also discover that they were intelligent to beans"
Thanks a lot for this! I love this series and this was a very much needed subject to be talked about.
It said they were so powerful and volatile they couldn't take form in the universe so they lie in another dimension
Everytime i see these videoes i click on them as fast as i can,great job bro❤️❤️
They went so hard on that rejection animation and dialog like unholy hell that scene gives me the chills!!!
Weren't Old Gods supposed to be Lovecraftian at first?
Can you please stop saying "TIE-TENS"? No one says that.
These are always amazing.
