Sargeras could kill the entire pantheon by himself? Including his successor? I mean, yeah. Legions of demons, but we've seen that demons are like pests to a titan, let alone all of them
Actually, he soloed them. He took them all out by himself. According to the snippets I've read, he first faced his successor, Aggramar in a one-on-one duel, where both of them shattered each other's weapons, before Aggramar fled to warn the pantheon. The rest? Here's a brief paraphrased snippet:
"
After forming the Burning Legion, Sargeras went on to destroy a world for the first time. It didn't have a world soul, but it had been ordered and thus had a constellar like Algalon watching over it. When the constellar came to see what had happened, Sargeras killed him.
The Pantheon was confused that their constellar hadn't reported back, so they sent Agrammar to investigate. He saw the Legion destroying the planet, and Sargeras leading them. Outraged at his former masters' betrayal, Agrammar challenged Sargeras to single combat. They fought, but Sargeras was far more powerful, as titans are naturally weak to fel magic. Both of their blades split in two, and Agrammar fled to warn the Pantheon.
The Pantheon decided to hold a meeting with Sargeras over a world called Nihilam. They thought he could still be reasoned with. At the meeting Sargeras again insisted what he was doing was the only way to stop the Void Lords.
Agrammar sensed there was still a noble soul beneath Sargeras' madness, and walked up to him, unarmed, pleading for Sargeras to listen to reason. He said they had found a new world soul, of a titan named Azeroth, who would one day be strong enough to destroy the Void Lords. Sargeras used his sword to slice Agrammar in half vertically.The Pantheon was outraged over the murder of fellow titan, and fought a massive war with Sargeras.
His fel magic was too powerful and Sargeras killed them all with a massive storm of fel fire.
Nihilam came to be known as Doom World, the site of the Legion's destruction of the Pantheon. Even worse, Sargeras now knew the existence of Azeroth, of a world soul powerful enough to defeat the void lords. He didn't see it that way, he saw it as a world with the potential to birth the ultimate evil if corrupted by the Void Lords first. So he set out to destroy it."
You're right that this is a hard thing to just accept. I know Sargeras was the strongest of his group, but he seriously faced the entire pantheon combined, ALONE and killed them? at the same time? really? I am disappointed at this, because I was really hoping to one day meet the pantheon in wow.(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Rankkor##DELIM##

Dear God. That...That was spectacularly disappointing.
Also, titans are weak to fel magic? What? Since when? I guess it happened after Sargeras annihilated billions of demons and whatnot. I can chalk it up to him being able to command more powerful fel, being a titan, even though he's supposedly weak to it.
Still, it is even more disappointing Warcraft is going full starcraft here. WoW is a fantasy! Not scifi. The void, voidlords, it's...it's not warcraft's things. It's a side object. The Legion was the main villains behind the setting. They were the more external threat. But instead, we get the evil council of vagueness which, of course, corrupted someone. No one can turn evil anymore can they? They can't make a choice. It has to be outside powers.
Dammit Blizzzard. Just...Damn it.

I know how you feel man. This is why I'm hoping at least SOME of this stuff is fake. So Adamsm, you got a mission bro', as soon as you get your hands on Chronicle 1 and finish chapter 1, please come here, and either confirm, or debunk these spoilers.
Also, "Blizzzard"? lol :P
I dunno if you did that on purpose or not, but if you did? grats on the good pun =D(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Rankkor##DELIM##

Ugh. I used to work the last shift, then the earliest one. So that was ending at ten thirty, starting at six am the next day. Not including travel times.

It's my chosen shift so I don't have to deal with my work's weekend bull crap :P

If at all possible, I vastly prefer to work during the Morning. All my gaming activity is at night.

Looks like N'zoth is the last one and she/he/it? Is in Eastern kingdoms.
Uldaman 2.0 coming soon?

There's that unlabeled purple-pink thing though so should still be one more.

I should hope so. They said there were 5 and I expect 5.
Also, what body part will they focus on? C'thun was with Eyes, Yogg-Saron was mouths, Yssarg was heads, so the next ones will be what exactly?

So technically speaking, his raid will be a "Snuff raid".

The one in the center? Thats Y'shaarg, the one we found in pandaria. The hydra head of the seven deadly sins.

I can't remember Blizzard ever giving out a number for the old gods, think five is speculation. WoA said three old gods did some bad ploting. We assumed C'thun was too weak to be one of them, guess not.
And N'zoth is obviously the stuff of nightmares, bad hairstyles.
Though I believe no fifth was added due to we have grown weary of old gods. And now we are to bonk Dimensius and his void lord pals instead.

Pandaria is and it has Y'sharj
mentioned there. As for where the 5 is from,
it's right out of the Ordering legend
; The Pantheon shattered the Old Gods' citadels and chained the five evil gods far beneath the surface of the world. Without the Old Gods' power to keep their raging spirits bound to the physical world, the elementals were banished to an abyssal plane, where they would contend with one another for all eternity. With the elementals' departure, nature calmed, and the world settled into a peaceful harmony. The Titans saw that the threat was contained and set to work.

So, retcon?
And it was mentioned that When Y'shaarg was slain, there was a wound on Titanoth of Azeroth that was called "the well of eternity" by the locals, the water being titan blood of arcane power. So Y'shaarg, the one I belive to be the mother of hydras (the ashenvale 5m dungeon imply hydras having old god origins), his "land" being the center makes kind of sense, and the sha being bound to the heart or something I guess?
Makes me wonder though what uldaman was for, that map you linked adam seems to have N'zoth near the broken isles. Considering it's age, it's too old for the discs of nalagon (that mage titan) and house earthern to be it's primary function.

Well, that is the newest information as it's coming from the Chronicle, same as the map you linked. But even with the Three mentioned, that would means that ithere is another. C'thun was injured/sealed and Y'sharj was already dead after all. Two of the Three would have been Yogg and N'Zoth which leaves one more unnamed, showing 5.

Since they're suddenly going with the "Kalimdor was Azeroth's *largest* continent" angle, there'd be an easy explanation for the fifth Old God: It landed or otherwise set up shop on one of the other landmasses that we've yet to see.
(That, or it was the smart one of the bunch and hid out somewhere, realizing that subjugating elementals and generally starting trouble would be a great way to bring the wrath of
God
Aman'thul down on your head...)
