Biography
Birth and childhood
Medivh destroys the Gurubashi tribe in the siege of Stormwind.
However, Aegwynn was not the only one who tried to resist the independent keeper. Arcanagos, a blue dragon and one of the guardians of magic, visited Karazhan and attempted to turn Medivh from the path he had chosen. In the end, the blue decided to use force, but Medivh overwhelmed the dragon and burned it from the inside. Once again Medivh had exhausted his powers and had to restore them.
Shortly thereafter, the magisters of Dalaran sent an apprentice to Medivh. This young man was known as Khadgar, which means "Loyalty" in Dwarven. As time went on, the "Faithful Youth" became Medivh's apprentice. He lived in Karazhan with the others: Medivh, who taught him, Moroes, the butler, and the Cook.
At this time, a war began to flare up between the orcs and people - the orcs kept coming and coming from the Black Marsh. Medivh did not worry about this and said that everything was going according to plan. Shortly thereafter, Garona of Half-Orc arrived in Karazhan as an emissary for the Horde. Unbeknownst to anyone, a brief affair took place between Garona and Medivh, which led to the birth of a mixed-race child, Med'an.
Khadgar was the first to discover that it was Medivh who let the orcs into Azeroth. During this time, Khadgar and Garona had an audience with King Llane and Anduin Lothar, and the latter became convinced of Medivh's betrayal. Lothar, one of Medivh's best friends, led a small force of people, which included Khadgar and Garonne, to stop the mad Guardian. During the battle, Khadgar, aged by Medivh's magic, plunged Lothar's sword into the mage's heart. The demon within Medivh awakened, but Lothar had already struck the final blow, decapitating the mage and plunging Sargeras into the Void.
In his prime, Medivh cultivated and fought Sargeras in his tower of Karazhan. Medivh's power was so great that his death placed a curse on the once majestic tower and surrounding lands, now called Deadwind Pass. And the tower has become such a dangerous and cursed place from which no one has ever returned (chain of the Amethyst Eye).

The Appearance of the Prophet
After the Second War, the mysterious prophet appeared to various inhabitants of Azeroth. He tried to warn of the impending end of the world. The young leader of the Horde - Thrall, the son of Durotan - had a dream where orcs and people fought each other, while infernals rained down from heaven. He woke up and the Prophet told him that it was a vision and that he must travel to the ancient lands of Kalimdor if he wanted to save his people. Thrall sensed that the Prophet was telling the truth, and set a course along the sea, westward to the distant shores of Kalimdor. Medivh, the Prophet, preferred not to directly intervene in the coming war (leading some to think he was just a ghost). He has the ability to transform into a large, black bird.
The Horde made an exodus to Kalimdor, but the situation of the people was much more difficult. King Terenas of Lordaeron and Archmage Antonidas of Dalaran thought the Prophet was insane. The king's son, Prince Arthas, refused to leave his people in need of protection. Only Daelin Proudmoore's young daughter and student of Antonidas, Jaina, felt that he might be right. When the Prophet appeared to her after the destruction of Stratholme, she heeded his warnings and began to prepare to sail. Jaina and her people departed for Kalimdor as the invasion began. Thrall came to Kalimdor in search of his destiny and his new acquaintance, Cairne Bloodhoof - chieftain of the Bloodhoof tribe - suggested that he go to the Oracle. Thrall reached the Oracle while fighting the Lordaeron Expedition, but met Jaina and a few other people there. When they were ready to fight, the prophet appeared. He told them that if they hope to defeat the Burning Legion and save Azeroth from destruction, they must put aside their strife and unite. They reluctantly agreed.
Medivh meets with the leaders of the mortal races.
Finally, the Prophet revealed himself when it was time to join forces. Appearing in a dream to Thrall, the night elf Malfurion Stormrage, and Jaina, the Prophet told them that they must forge an alliance to fight against a common enemy. He told them that he was Medivh, the Last Guardian of Tirisfal, and that it was his fault that the orcs, and after them the Burning Legion, infiltrated Azeroth. Thrall, Jaina, and Malfurion became convinced that victory could only be achieved if their peoples united and rallied to defend the World Tree, Nordrassil. At the decisive hour, the spirits of nature appeared, summoned by the sounds of the Horn of Cenarius, and destroyed Archimonde once and for all.
Confident that the world was safe for the time being, and that he was able to atone for his terrible sins, the Appearance of Medivh to Med'an. Medivh disappeared to take his place "among the legends of the past." His actions saved Azeroth and made amends for his past crimes.
Subsequently
It is unknown where he went after the events of the Battle of Mount Hyjal. Perhaps his stay on Azeroth came to an end and he left the material plane, or perhaps he simply retired somewhere far away. Later, a black raven was seen flying over Karazhan's tower, and there are suggestions that the Last Guardian lingered in this world after all. But still, his fate remains unknown, and from his last words it is clear that we will never see or hear from him again.
Despite this, he left his reflection in Karazhan to pass on knowledge and power to his son, Med'an, so that he could decide his own destiny.
Circle of Hatred
Although much has passed by the beginning of events World of Warcraft, Medivh, in addition The Burning Crusade, occurs in one form or another in two instances. Strangely, Medivh's model and animation is based on that of a male night elf, not a human.
He appears in the quests Master's Permission, Return to Khadgar.
It starts and uploads the following jobs:
Caverns of Time
The first time we meet Medivh is in Opening the Dark Portal, the second instance of the Caverns of Time, which opens after completing the Escape from Durnholde. Set in the Black Marsh as Medivh is attempting to open the Dark Portal, it is up to a group of players to protect him from the dragonflight of the Infinite who are trying to kill him and stop the Portal from opening, preventing the orcs from invading Azeroth.
Medivh is featured in Karazhan's attunement process. After obtaining Khadgar's key fragments from instances in Outland, Khadgar sends you to the Black Marsh to speak with Medivh and enchant the key to open the locked gates of Karazhan. Medivh will give you the Master's Key. However, you must first pass the instance before you can talk to him and get the key.
Karazhan
Echo of Medivh in Karazhan.
Twice more Medivh is encountered in his former domain, Karazhan, in Deadwind Pass, which was abandoned after his death in the hands of Khadgar and Lothar shortly before the end of the Second War. The players meet the "Echo of Medivh" in the chess room, where they must play a game of chess with him. The "Projection of Medivh" is encountered in the Terrace of the Master in the flashback scene of the battle with the blue dragon Arcanagos.
World of Warcraft: The Comic
In spite of his unknown fate, he left an avatar of himself in Karazhan to give a message of knowledge and power to his son, Med "an, so that Med" an could decide his own fate. The avatar commented himself as being gone from Azeroth.
Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects
Quest chain
Return to Karazhan
More than a decade passed before Medivh showed up again. It happened during the invasion of heroes in Karazhan, captured by the demons of the Burning Legion. Wiz'aduum the All-Seer was sent by Kil'jaeden to turn the ley lines that pass through Karazhan into the service of the Legion. As the heroes and Khadgar reached the top of the tower, where everything around was distorted by the sheer amount of magic, Medivh suddenly appeared before them. He revealed that the demons had already linked Karazhan to the Legion worlds. Medivh and Khadgar worked to destroy this link while the heroes battled Viz'aduum.
With the demon commander down, Khadgar and Medivh finally got a chance to talk. Khadgar told his former mentor that he would be a valuable ally against the Legion. But Medivh replied that he was following a different path and that Azeroth had already found a Guardian in the person of Khadgar. In the end, Medivh warned that many trials awaited ahead, and, turning into a crow, flew straight into the Twisting Nether.

Death
Medivh's death is depicted in at least four different sources.
In the "Last Guardian" interlude in the "End of Eternity" campaign of the game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Medivh is shown in a flashback where he is killed by several foot soldiers. Although Lothar may have been the captain of the scene, Khadgar and Garona are nowhere to be seen. However, this can be explained by the fact that the two were wearing Stormwind robes as described in The Last Guardian, thus being shown as mere foot soldiers.
Finally, in the Flashback comic, we see that Medivh was stabbed in the heart by Khadgar, but Lothar is just standing behind.
The idea that in addition to Lothar, Khadgar and Garona, other people are involved in the event is supported by Shadows & Light ("... a detachment of human warriors ...") and Horde Player's Guide ("A group of people slowed down the invasion by killing Medivh"). But both sources confirm that Lothar, Khadgar, and Garonna were involved in it.Tides of Darkness explains that Lothar was with Garona, Khadgar, and a group of humans when they defeated Medivh.
Atiesh
Medivh holding Atiesh.
The most powerful wizards focus their powers into magical staves, and Medivh is no exception. His staff Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian , was augmented by an agent of Sargeras, increasing Medivh's already immense strength. After Medivh was killed, Atiesh was taken to Dalaran, where it was revealed that the spirit contained in the staff was capable of killing anyone who dared to take possession of it. Atiesh was locked in a secret vault where he was kept for thirty years until Dalaran was destroyed by Archimonde. The staff was divided into 42 parts - 40 chips, pommel and base.
The base somehow came into the possession of C'Thun in Ahn'Qiraj (before that, it was owned by Brann Bronzebeard, who found it during his explorations of Azeroth), and the necromancer lich Kel'Thuzad, who is responsible for summoning Archimonde, had the pommel. 40 slivers are in the hands of Kel'Thuzad's lieutenants in his stronghold of Naxxramas, in the Eastern Plaguelands. But even if the staff can be restored, the corruption of Sargeras must first be exorcised from it.
In RPG
Personality
The spirit of Medivh fought with Sargeras all the time for control of the body and mind. This struggle did not stop and, as a result, Medivh's state periodically fluctuated from complete calm and clarity to bouts of strange and incomprehensible behavior. To outsiders, it seemed that he often made absurd decisions and unexpectedly changed his views. When the struggle between the two entities became unbearable for the body, Medivh fell into a coma and did not respond to external influences. The duration of this state could vary from a few minutes to several months.
As long as Medivh was in control of his body, he was friendly and wise. He provided assistance to many high-ranking rulers and put the interests of the kingdom above all else. He has defended Lordaeron from attack for many years and has earned a reputation as a loyal defender of the lands. He was interested in other races and was always happy to hear stories about distant lands or peoples.
But as Sargeras took control, Medivh's personality changed dramatically. He became sullen and aloof and barely acknowledged the presence of close friends and virtually ignored outsiders. He was secretive and often suddenly broke into long trips. In private conversations, Medivh did not hesitate to get rid of visitors, using magic to kill or incapacitate them. But he understood that the leaders of Lordaeron could expose him, and in public he did not get out of his role.
Medivh's tactics were often fickle, depending on which entity was currently in control of the body. However, the general style is to stay at a distance and attack enemies with powerful spells. He often casts several spells and retreats, only to attack again later from a different position.
Status as an Eternal
Although the article does make a brief reference to his period as the legendary Oracle, it is not likely the reason for his Eternal status. The majority of the article concerned with the period when he had dual personalities where he struggled with Sargeras for control of his body, this includes the role-playing notes and combat section. It explains how others might react to his mood swings and personality changes. His abilities are also a combination of a guardian and Sargeras's abilities.
The book is also pretty clear that no new Eternals have appeared in modern times.
When Khadgar killed Medivh and destroyed the spirit of Sargeras, Medivh's spirit escaped. The spirit of Medivh foresaw the eventual downfall of Lordaeron, and with his mother's help his spirit attained form.
It should be noted Medivh considers himself no longer a human as he was before referenced by his quote in Warcraft III: "I left my humanity behind long ago. I am something...different now."

- The Sands of Time have run out, Son of Durotan ... The cries of war echo upon the winds. The remnants of the past scar the land, which is besieged once again...by conflict. Heroes arise to challenge fate! And lead their brethren into battle. As mortal armies rush blindly towards their doom, the Burning Shadow comes to consume us all! You must rally the Horde and lead your people to their destiny! Seek me out...
- Human? Ha ha ha...
. I left my humanity behind long ago, young warchief . I am something... different now. Know that I have seen the future and beheld the great burning shadow that is coming to consume this world. You sense it as well, don't you? - I failed humanity once before... and I will NOT do so again. If you cannot take up this cup, then I shall find another who will.
- Listen to me boy, this land is lost! The shadow has already fallen, and nothing you do will deter it! If you truly wish to save your people, lead them across the sea ...to the west !
- Then your choice is already made. Just remember, the harder you strive to slay your enemies, the faster you will deliver your people right into their hands.
- The dead in this land might lie still for the time being, but don't be fooled. Your Young Prince will find only death in the Cold North .
- Commendable as that may be, his passions will be his undoing. It falls to you now, young sorceress. You must lead your people across the sea, to the distant land of Kalimdor . Only there can you combat the shadow and save this world from the flame.
- Destiny is at hand, young sorceress . The time to choose has come. For the fate of all who live, humanity must join forces with the Horde .
- The roots will heal in time... as will the entire world. The sacrifices have been made. Just as the orcs, humans, and night elves discarded their old hatreds and stood united against a common foe, so did Nature herself rise up to banish the Shadow... forever. As for me, I came back to ensure that there would be a future, to teach the world that it no longer needed Guardians. The hope for future generations has always resided in mortal hands. And now that my task is done, I will take my place... among the legends of the past. (Last words spoken)

The story of the Warcraft movie is based on the Mage Medivh, who has an interesting history in the World of Warcraft. Today we will complete our acquaintance with Medivh.
Quick about Medivh's past
Medivh was born a great mage and inherited the magical power of the Defenders of Tirisfal. However, not only Medivh received power from his mother, but also a demon. The demon Sargeras once sacrificed his physical form in battle with Aegwynn, Medivh's mother, in order to bite into the soul and mind of Aegwynn's unborn descendant.
Medivh grows up side by side with Prince Llane Wrynn and the warrior Anduin Lothar. When Sargeras awakened inside Medivh, he fell into a long coma. Awakening, Sargeras forces Medivh to hide from the world in the dark tower of Karazhan, where he slowly but surely drives the mage insane. Medivh, under the leadership of Sargeras, opens a portal to the world of the orcs and the orcs enter our lands.
Medivh creates a monster
The dark spirit of Sargeras became a crooked prism of Medivh's perceptions and thoughts. Medivh kills the Dragon that came to warn Medivh and turns him into an evil spirit, Nightbane.
Disciple of Medivh
While the walls of Karazhan drive Medivh mad, the magistracy does not know what the mage is doing as Protector. Masters, as required by protocol, send the trainee to the master of magic to be trained. The young student was Khadgar. In truth, he was still a pain in the ass, so he was fused to the most terrible magician. He knocked on Karazhan's door and a strange old man opened the door for him. Medivh was surprised, but let the boy in.
Khadgar has become a light in the delirium of the walls of Karazhan that Sargeras builds in Medivh's head.
As Khadgar learns magic from a strange old man who is cheerful one moment and withdrawn the next, the orcs keep coming and going from the Black Portal of Medivh and taking over the Black Marsh. People gather an army of resistance and the war begins. For the first time, Orcs and Humans, in the future, the Horde and the Alliance are fighting.
Khadgar asks Medivh what the hell is the place where the Tower of Karazhan is? Karzhan is located in Deadwind Pass. A wicked and sinister place. It was created by a large magical explosion, which is why Karazhan itself is imbued with magic. Hell is going on in it and only a brave person can live here.
Khadgar: So this place created a magical explosion and you found this tower afterwards?
: Yes, but only if you look within our perception of time. Magic is hard. The place was created by the explosion, as I was destined to find it.
Khadgar: But that doesn't happen.
: In everyday life, no. You need to learn the art of avoiding the ordinary perception of the world.
Khadgar learns Medivh's dark secret
Khadgar, living side by side with Medivh, begins to guess that his master could open the Dark Portal and let the orc horde into Azeroth. The main reason for suspicion was the uttermost unwillingness to go help in the war with the orcs. One night, the magical walls of Karazhan, full of time and space paradoxes, give Khadgar visions of Medivh opening a dark portal.Khadgar in Stormwind
Khadgar travels with his suspicions to the king himself in Stormwind. Medivh's childhood friends: King Llane and the head of the human army, Anduin Lothar, listened to the young magician and, comparing everything with intelligence, understand that their friend Medivh is a traitor to his homeland. The King instructs Lothar to sort things out.
Khadgar, with the support of the King's party, travels to kill Medivh in Karazhan for betraying their world. A big battle took place and Khadgar ages under the spell of Medivh, but the student manages to draw the sword and plunge it into the teacher's heart. Medivh was able to see Sargeras within himself at the moment of impact. Time stood still and Medivh understood everything, saw everything from the side and his mind became clear. Now that he knows what is happening to him, he can exorcise the demon from himself. Medivh wants to explain everything, but Lothar, who considers Medivh evil, cuts off his head.
The death of the last defender places a monstrous curse on Karazhan, and only a complete psycho would dare to poke his head there.
Fall of Stormwind
Lothar and the squad return with victory, but instead of the capital, they see death. The orcs have captured the capital of the human empire, Stormwind City. Now, by right, Lothar needs to raise an army and retake Stormwind, but that's a completely different story. Many years later, Medivh would be resurrected and play an important role in the history of the Lich King, but that's another story altogether.
Image of Medivh
Medivh is a victim. He did not want evil, he was forced to accept the bad deeds of Sargeras. And of course, the denouement with a misunderstanding of the situation and death at the hands of a friend is very strong. Medivh is the one who changed the world of Warcraft forever by opening the Dark Portal. And apparently this story will be beaten in the Warcraft movie.
Biography
Birth
Medivh's mother, Magna Aegwynn, was the sole female guardian of the Order of Tirisfal, an organization formed to protect Azeroth from potential demonic incursions from the Burning Legion. She was the one who slew the Demon Lord Sargeras. But death was planned by the fallen titan, as he put a particle of his soul into the body of the Guardian, hoping in the future to take her power - the power of the most powerful being of Azeroth.
Several hundred years later, the Council of Tirisfal forced Aegwynn to choose a successor and give him the power of the Guardian. Not trusting the sorcerers from the Order, for whom political intrigues were higher than the war with demons, she decided to give birth to a son-heir. For the role of her father, she chose Nilas Aran, a court sorcerer at the court of King Rynn III, in Stormwind.
Childhood
Medivh's childhood was happy. He was raised by his father, Nilas Aran, and studied with the best magicians in the kingdom. Medivh's best friends were Anduin Lothar and Prince Llan. They often traveled together across the expanses of the kingdom of Azeroth. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Medivh had a huge surge of magical energy. The body of the young man radiated strong flows of magic, which brought him unbearable pain. Nilas Aran, trying to save his son, died from one touch to him. To calm the magical power of Medivh, the strongest magicians of the kingdom were gathered, but after that Medivh fell into a coma. The young man was transferred to Northshire Abbey, where he was cared for by local clerics and a faithful friend, Anduin Lothar.
Madness and Death
Medivh woke up twenty years later. Much has changed in him. Most people in the kingdom thought he was insane, but no one, not even Aegwynn, realized the full extent of what had happened. The dark essence of Sargeras entered Medivh's body before he was born, and waited until the Guardian's power was activated. Now, within the sorcerer, a struggle was taking place between the might of the Keeper and that of the Legion Lord, leaving no room for Medivh himself.
The sorcerer took up residence in Karazhan Tower, a crater in the Red Ridge Mountains. There, Sargeras began to execute his plan. It was he who opened the Dark Portal and started the Horde Invasion. With their help, he planned to destroy the races of humans and high elves, and get to the Tomb where Aegwynn hid his body, closed to humans, elves and demons, but not to orcs.
Aegwynn found out about her son's betrayal and tried to reason with him, but she found out who was hiding in Medivh's body and fought him. She no longer had the power of the Guardian, and Medivh defeated her. But this battle resonated deep in the soul of this strange creature - where the consciousness of the real Medivh was. Soon, the magicians of Dalaran sent an apprentice to Medivh - a capable young magician named Khadgar. Together with Garona Half-orc, a messenger from the Stormreaver clan to Medivh, they discovered that Sargeras possessed Medivh. Some time later, they informed King Llan about this, but he did not believe their fantastic story. But Sir Anduin Lothar listened to Khadgar and realized how dangerous Medivh could be. They, with a detachment of warriors, invaded Karazhan. In the basement of the tower, a battle took place against the mad sorcerer. Khadgar, raising Lothar's blade, pierced Medivh. He killed the sorcerer, but at the same time freed him from the power of Sargeras. The essence of the demon went to the depths of the Twisted Space.
The magical disturbance emanating from the place of Medivh's death could be felt by mages miles from Karazhan. Orc sorcerer Hum "dan, who was prowling in Medivh's mind at the time looking for the location of the Tomb, ended up in a coma, which led to a coup within the Horde.
Prophet
Many years have passed since the end of the Second War. Restlessness returned to the world: collapsed Alliance, the orcs broke free, many influential people renounced the Light for the sake of the Cult of the Damned, promising eternal earthly life. The world was on the brink of war. But no one suspected what a threat hung over the whole world.
And in the midst of the general chaos, a powerful person appeared, who was called the Prophet. He warned of the impending invasion by demonic armies, and advised all mortal races to travel west to the forgotten lands of Kalimdor.
Medivh in World of Warcraft
Medivh appears in Caverns of Time: Black Marsh. English Caverns of Time: The Black Morass ) in The Burning Crusade, where the player can go back in time to protect Medivh during the opening of the Dark Portal in the Black Marsh, which is now the Cursed Lands. A mysterious Dragonoid is trying to rewrite history to prevent Medivh from opening the Dark Portal. But then the orcs would not have united with humans and elves, and the Burning Legion would have won the Battle of Hyjal and destroyed Azeroth.
Also in the game you can see the tower of Medivh Karazhan and the staff of Medivh, which shattered into 42 pieces.

And together they opened the Dark Portal, which allowed the Burning Legion to begin the destruction of Azeroth at the hands of the Horde. Medivh was soon killed by a force led by his friend Anduin Lothar.
The name "Mediv" means "keeper of secrets" in the Thalassian language. Medivh's weapon was Atiesh, the greatstaff of the Guardian now in the hands of his apprentice Khadgar.
Birth and childhood
fiction in the Warcraft universe.
Khadgar was the first to learn that it was Medivh who brought the Horde to Azeroth. He, along with Garona, went to King Llane Wrynn and Anduin Lothar. The king refused to believe their words, believing that his friend could not be a traitor. Lothar believed them and led a squad that headed to Karazhan to defeat the Guardian. Khadgar and Garona joined the party.
Another battle has begun in Karazhan. Finally, Khadgar placed his blade against Medivh's chest and pierced through his heart. At that moment, the demon awakened within the Guardian and Lothar cut off its head, banishing Sargeras to the Twisting Nether. After the death of Medivh, who was in the prime of his life, a curse was released on the tower and its surroundings. This place became known as Deadwind Pass.

It was said that an unknown intruder made his way into the tower, muttering something. When he found a piece of an astrolabe and touched it, he saw the past - a man who held the same astrolabe. Medivh was able to communicate with Khadgar from the past and told him that the battle, death and resurrection destroyed both the Guardian and Sargeras in him. Now, for the first time in his life, Medivh was simply Medivh. After speaking with a former apprentice, he gathered the energy and visions of Karazhan to prepare for the next battle against the Burning Legion, later called the Third War.
Prophet
The source of information in this section is the game Warcraft III or addition to it.
A strange prophet, able to transform into a large black crow, began to appear before various inhabitants of Azeroth. He warned them of a coming invasion that threatened to destroy the entire world. The young leader of the Horde - Thrall, the son of Durotan - had a dream where people and orcs fought against each other, and infernals fell from heaven. When Thrall awoke, the Prophet told him that the dream would come true and Thrall must travel to the ancient lands of Kalimdor if he wanted to save his people. The leader believed his words, and the New Horde, having received the ships, sailed across the Great Sea.
It was much more difficult to convince people. Terenas Menethil, King of Lordaeron, and the archmage Antonidas drove the Prophet away, calling him a madman. Prince Arthas refused to leave his beleaguered people. Only the young daughter of Admiral Proudmoore and apprentice of Antonidas, Jaina, felt that the words of the Prophet could be true. When he appeared before her just after the destruction of Stratholme, Jaina heeded his warnings and prepared to head west. She sailed for Kalimdor with a group of her people just after the invasion began.
Thrall arrived on the western mainland in search of his destiny, and his new friend Cairn Bloodhoof, chieftain of the tauren, advised him to go to the Oracle. Orcs, fighting an expedition of people, were able to get through to the Oracle, but found Jaina and her followers there. The battle had almost begun when the Prophet reappeared. He said that they should stop fighting each other so that the world would have hope of defeating the Burning Legion. Thrall and Jaina reluctantly agreed.
The Prophet revealed himself when the time came to rally the forces of the peoples of Azeroth. Appearing in the dreams of Thrall, the night elf Malfurion Stormrage and Jaina, he told each of them that in order to defeat a common enemy, they must unite. He also revealed that he was Medivh, the last Guardian of Tirisfal, and that he was the one responsible for the invasion of the orcs and the Burning Legion into Azeroth. Thrall, Malfurion and Jaina realized that Medivh was right and joined their forces and peoples to protect the World Tree Nordrassil. At the height of the battle, the nature spirits, summoned by the Horn of Cenarius, destroyed Archimonde, who had led the demons of the Burning Legion, once and for all.
Convinced that the world was now safe, Medivh disappeared to take his place among the legends of the past. Thanks to his intervention, Azeroth was saved, and in this way he atoned for his former sins.
Return to Karazhan
The source of information in this section is an addendum Legion to World of Warcraft.
More than a decade passed before Medivh showed up again. It happened during the invasion of heroes in Karazhan, captured by the demons of the Burning Legion. Wiz'aduum the All-Seer was sent by Kil'jaeden to turn the ley lines passing through Karazhan into the service of the Legion. As the heroes and Khadgar reached the top of the tower, where everything around was distorted by the sheer amount of magic, Medivh suddenly appeared before them. He revealed that the demons had already linked Karazhan to the Legion worlds. Medivh and Khadgar worked to destroy this link while the heroes battled Viz'aduum.
With the demon commander down, Khadgar and Medivh finally got a chance to talk. Khadgar told his former mentor that he would be a valuable ally against the Legion. But Medivh replied that he was following a different path and that Azeroth had already found a Guardian in the person of Khadgar. Finally, Medivh warned that many trials lay ahead, and, turning into a crow, flew straight into the Twisting Nether.
- Archmage Khadgar says: The demons have been driven from Karazhan! Thank you heroes! Medivh, you could be a valuable ally in our fight against the Legion.
- Medivh says: I have a different path. Azeroth has already found a Guardian in you, young friend.
- Archmage Khadgar says: I... don't know what to say, Medivh.
- Medivh says: Enough sentiment! Listen to me one last time.
- Medivh says: Closing a door is often easier than entering it. But in order to break the bonds of fate, sometimes you have to take a step into the unknown.
- Medivh says: Many trials lie ahead for all of us. Farewell.
- Archmage Khadgar says: The bonds of fate... I need to think these words over. See you, heroes.
