Argus - Music & Ambience - World of Warcraft

Argus was once ruled by the Second Duumvirate, consisting of Velen and Kil’jaeden. During this time, the sorcerer Thal’kiel and his order of eredar mages, the Wakeners, began using summoning magics to conjure demons from the Twisting Nether. Velen condemned Thal’kiel’s new summonings and ordered him never to conjure them again. However, with the support of these entities, Thal’kiel hoped to become the sole ruler of Argus. His trusted apprentice, Archimonde, informed Velen and Kil’jaeden of the planned coup. Archimonde was placed in charge of the attack on the Wakeners’ hidden stronghold and decapitated his former master himself. Archimonde would later rise to rule Argus alongside Velen and Kil’jaeden, and the three eredar wisely ruled the planet for many years. Mac’Aree was the most sacred of the cities on Argus. Eventually, Argus attracted the attention of Sargeras. He offered the eredar a deal: in exchange for their loyalty, he would give them power undreamed of by
