![]() After the heart's power was drained during the final confrontation with Garrosh at the end of the Siege of Orgrimmar, the last gasp of Y'Shaarj faded from existence. Following the heart's excavation, the mantid, who worshipped Y'Shaarj, flew to Garrosh's side, with the Klaxxi paragons standing guard over the Old God's heart. Ages later, Garrosh Hellscream unearthed and managed to restore it using the magical pools of the Vale. After the Aqir and Troll War, the aqir that settled in the surrounding regions where Y'Shaarj's essence still polluted the land were gradually transformed into a race called the mantid. The titan-forged gathered its remains, notably the Heart of Y'Shaarj, which they placed under guard beneath the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Its remains fell back on the land that would later become known as Pandaria and its essence, seeping into the soil, would spawn the sha. Unlike the other Old Gods who were merely imprisoned, Y'Shaarj was ripped out of Azeroth and slain by the titans themselves. ![]() Should the Old Gods succeed, the warped titan would consume all matter and energy in the universe, bringing all of existence under the void lords' will. ![]() The Old Gods' sole purpose is to corrupt a titan world-soul into a being of unimaginable evil, a " warped titan" or "dark titan". Nevertheless, The dark influence of the Old Gods lingers like a blight in places where they once held power. With C'Thun and Yogg-Saron defeated, Y'Shaarj and G'huun deceased, and N'Zoth presumably gone as well, Magni Bronzebeard declared that Azeroth was made free of the grasp of the Old Gods. Along with the Burning Legion, they are one of the most powerful and reoccurring threats found in the Warcraft series of games and books, especially during the Cataclysm where they attempted to bring about the end of the world, the Hour of Twilight, and during the Fourth War, with the recreation of the Black Empire in Ny'alotha. Though incapacitated and, until recently, forgotten, the Old Gods still to this day influence the very people and events of Azeroth. It was subsequently sealed within the research facility of Uldir, now located on Zandalar. The Pantheon, in an attempt to study the eldritch monstrosities and find a solution to their existence, inadvertently created a fifth Old God, G'huun. Realizing that the Old Gods had embedded themselves too deep in the world's surface to be removed without destroying Azeroth itself, they instead decided to have the Old Gods imprisoned deep below the surface of the world to contain their evil forever. This created a giant gaping wound in the planet's crust from which the arcane lifeblood of Azeroth, the nascent titan, was hemorrhaging. Y'Shaarj, however, proved much too strong for the titan-forged to defeat, which prompted the titan leader Aman'Thul to reach down his arm and tear Y'Shaarj apart. When the Pantheon arrived, they sent their armies, the titan-forged, to shatter the Old Gods' citadels and crumble their empire. įour Old Gods - Y'Shaarj, C'Thun, Yogg-Saron and N'Zoth - ruled the planet of Azeroth during its primordial age, forming what would become known as the Black Empire. These immense mountains of flesh, physical manifestations of the Void, grow like cancers within the worlds of the Great Dark Beyond. Old Gods (also known as Shath'Yar in their own language, as well as various other names) are parasitic, eldritch horrors created by the void lords in order to find and corrupt slumbering titan world-souls.
