The massive light blue hand of the defiler was waved casually through the air, and what was left of the camp of the Kal'Dorei were swept aside in the same motion, trees uprooting and snapped limbs of ancients in the form of thousands of wooden splinters. He tread upon the ruins, a the chorus thousand breaking twigs causing a thundering crack to echo throughout the mountains. He obliterated the gate to the world tree in a single motion, and strode confidently up to it. He gripped the trunk of the tree in one massive hand, placing one foot in front of another as if readying himself for a massive impact.
Malfurion ran to the top of the cliff, and rose the Horn of Cenarius to his lips. When blown, it would call forth the power of the very world to obliterate Archimonde in an awe inspiring explosion of whisp like spirits. The most major blow against the Legion would be delivered since the imprisonment of Sargeras himself.
But alas, he was too late. Thousands upon thousands of Druids groaned as the world tree was sapped of it's life. Yogg-Saron gasped, C'thuns eye widened as he experienced fear for the second time of his ancient life. The collective desperate whispers of five Old Gods reached every living being on Azeroth, and a shiver went down their spine. The threat of Azeroth's destruction with their death could not protect them now. The ley lines of power collected at the second well, and they too were absorbed in the ever growing body of the Deciever. Earthquakes erupted throughout the world, as the world seemed to fall into itself. The already ruined city of Dalaran crumbled into nothingness as the magical energies that kept it erect were denied. Archimonde whispered a mere word, and Malfurion was destroyed fully and completely, bathed in green hellfire that seemed to be able to even consume itself.
Archimonde grinned in a posture of pure satisfaction. Then his terrible voice, so deep it caused the Earthquakes to increase in intensity, boomed out "
This world is nothing
!". The helpless mortals whimpering as the massive blue being, now bathed in an amazing deep blue aura of raw arcane power, tore a hole through the very space of the universe and departed through it.
Then, for a fraction of a second, all was quiet. Not quiet, silent. Nothing could be heard. The earth fell beneath the inhabitants feet, and with a final boom that could be heard throughout the universe, Azeroth imploded. Where once stood the Titans amazing creation, there was now only an infinitely dark void.
Of all Azeorths wonderous beasts and men, roughly eighty survived, all of them users of the demonic schools of the arcane. Seventy demonsworn, ten of those who fight fire with fire by using their powers against the Legion.
The destruction caught the attention of a very important figure. Aggramar the Avenger swept thousands of demons aside with his blade, and came upon Archimonde. A titanic battle ensued, the sound of which could be heard throughout the universe. Eventually, a battered and bleeding Archimonde stood over the bronze skinned dying body of the Titan, draining the fragments of power that remained in his body. Aggramar gasped, then fell forever silent. Archimonde picked up his blade, Taeshalach.
The Legion reigned normally for twelve more years, Archimonde, whose power now rivaled that of Sargeras, the undisputed lord of the Legion, and Kil'jaedin his right hand. Then the triumphant Sargeras broke from his prison in limbo, and noticed satisfactorily the destruction Archimonde had wrought upon the world which imprisoned and defied him. He stepped up to reclaim his throne, as well as the sister half of his sword. Archimonde smiled, and said "I believe I shall hold my position, at the head of this army, and as the wielder of this blade." Sargeras was shocked. His rage built, and the air became blistering hot. Any lesser beings would have burst into flame. "You
will
apologize for your insolence!" He stated slowly, clearly holding himself back. Archimonde again smiled and replied, "No, I do not believe I shall." Sargeras roared, an indescribable sound that shook the cosmos. He grabbed his blade, and thrust it down towards Archimonde. Archimonde parried, and the force of the blow shook the cosmos in a way it never had shook. They battled, but neither gained ground. Eventually they both retreated, declarations of war passed. And so began the Civil War of the Legion, or the Nether War. And this war was perhaps fated, to be waged upon the desolated soils of Dranor. The Outlands.

Zangarmarsh - Ered'skar Controlled
Blade's Edge Mountains - Ered'skar Controlled

Note
:
Keep in mind the distinct hierarchies in this RP. People are playing tiny and weak but cunning imps, and people are playing literal Gods. When we say don't god mode, that means lore wise as well. Don't be the imp who kills a God in a split second while his legs are cut off. However, this works both ways. If you are of Godlike qualities, then to avoid people losing their characters or ripping holes in the lore, you must be crafty to not obliterate the world with your footstep. You may feel like the Lich King in Wrath, where he screams about setbacks one after another, but to me it's the better option then have us kill LK with a Death Knight in DPS greens tanking UP.

Name; Zippit
Race; Imp
Alignment; Burning Legion
Location; Hellfire Peninsula
Description; Zippit, like most Imps, is regarded by his superiors as weak and useless. However, the small Demon is a cunning entity, taking risks and oppurtuniteis to avoid his demise. He aspires to one day have enough power to control the entire universe.
Zippit looked up. A massive Beholder floated above him, readying an eyeblast that would obliberate the creature. However, before he could do so, his small enemy launched a fireball at his eye. The Beholder fell down in agony, where it was finished off by a Felguard.
Zippit gazed in the distance, the majority of Sargeras' army standing with him. A huge amount of Demons appraoched them. The battle for Hellfire Peninsula had begun.

Name: Gazzaradon
Race: Annihilan
Burning Legion
Description: Big, Ugly, and green, Gazzaradon is a force to be reckoned with. Combining Shadow magic with his strength, not even a caster can take him out frm a distance.
Location: Hellfire Peninsula
Gazzaradon stood at the border between Zangarmarsh and Hellfire. Any Ered'Skar forces were quickly dealt with. He stood on a corpse of a fallen fel hound. "Silly creatures! Don't they know that all living things are killed by the legion?"

Zippit
Hellfire Peninsula
The Imp gulped as the Pit Lord besides him screamed. All living things?
Including
him? He didn't like the prospect. But there was nothing he could do about it, not yet. The Ered'Skar attacked again, this time from the sky.

Character: Lithij
Race: Shivarra
Faction: Burning Legion
Location: Hellfire Peninsula
Lithij leapt down from the pedestal of the dark portal, which if you walked through now would you simply fall off of the Outlands, and impaled two doom guards with her blades. She walked slowly and confidently towards the allied Pit Lord, her six blades melding into a whirlwind of demonic metals, it's shiny silver and bright green tinged red with the blood of the demons she slew. "I
n the name of the dark one
!" she called to the massive Annihilan.
((Okay Snipz, but be professional, 'kay? You can keep your character was well, because they kind of do the general-ly thing and hang back in their capitals. Only come out when they need it.))

((Did you just destroy our capital, the legendary fortified black temple, in enemy territory, with Sargeras in it, in your first post? Use your brain dude. Not to mention, in no way shape or form is Archimonde a Death Knight, what in the hell is a dread mancer, maybe your looking for Demonsworn? Also, the universe of Azeroth isn't 457 million years old (about 127 thousand years), and Archimonde was made a demon 25 thousand years ago, so it's unlikely he's that old.
Edit: I guess you better go find a baby.))

Character: Sargeras, the Dark Titan
Race: Dark Titan
Burning Legion
Black Temple
The towering figure sat upon his throne, gazing at the various war parties clashing, his finger bathed in his flaming beard as he stroked his chin, with an interested look. Even as the leader of the Burning Legion, he did not feel particularly threatened, and his features appeared indifferent. The Defiler will fall, and Dranor and the Legion will be returned to it's true leader, Taeshalach and Gorribal reforged into Gorshalach, and not even Aman'Thul could stand against him.
