History
The Old Gods were a race of ancient beings and deities that inhabited the cosmos. After the universe formed, dark spirits in the Void twisted reality to become a realm of endless torment as well as chaos. The Void Lords were envious of the power of the Titan Pantheon and began to pool their power leading to the creation of the Old Gods. These beings were tasked with exerting an influence on a Titan before it had awakened when it was most vulnerable. The void lords did not know which planets contained a world-soul and thus sent forth the Old Gods through the Great Dark Beyond in the hopes that their creations would land on a planet with a nascent Titan. During their search, the Old Gods began contaminating mortal world after another in their quest to find a world-soul. Long ago, they arrived on the world of Azeroth where they threatened this planet with the entities bringing chaos and destruction to it. During this time, they came to subjugate the Elemental Lords to their will and formed the Black Empire that ruled the world of Azeroth. According to legend, three of the Old Gods ruled over this time with them bringing bloody chaos unseen even to the lords of the Burning Legion. In this time, the Old Gods ruled over the primal plane until the coming of the Titans.
Overview
In appearance, each of the Old Gods varied in form as they resembled giant masses of flesh holding giant maws, tentacles, eyes and other monstrous body parts. Their most distinctive trait was their psychic whispers that could allow them to speak into the minds of others.
Yogg-Saron was able to unleash the Curse of Flesh that was able to turn the Titan-forged from creatures of stone and metal to flesh.
