That doesnt make any sense & is just a very thinly veiled way to handwave the massive hole in the theory. It doesnt matter how corrupt your soul is if the system works like Demons returning to the Nether or Old Gods to the Void. We've never been told something otherwise happens

Also do you REALLY think Blizz is going to pause the entire story of Shadowlands to go, "Okay let's go back to Argus & explain this convoluted line of thinking why he's actually red and went to the Shadowlands instead of his home plane of Order" ? That's not how they roll.

It's clear they dropped this mystery on us for a reason. So we're likely to get some answers about it at some point. That's the fun part about speculation you can be wrong or you can be right. I might be wrong or vice versa.

Also I still haven't heard how this theory makes sense with Blizzard directly saying, "Denathrius caused the drought." That line is completely nonsensical if something else incapacitated the Arbiter

I just don't see it being the sword. I just think that it was a soul and not a sword. There's a high chance it isn't Argus but I also have a hard time believing it was the sword as well. In this situation, I do think it is a "Wait and see" moment that'll be revealed later.

They already revealed it. I mean I believe what Blizzard has said. Which is. "Denathrius caused the drought" And he has a sentient sword with a red energy anima trail that looks just like the one that made the Arbiter inoperable.

I took the "Denathrius caused the drought" as his actions entirely in Revendreth. Where he hoarded all the anima to himself & didn't lend anything to the other realms leaving them without their anima. Plus when it slams right into the Arbiter there is no sword just a blast.

That's not the definition of the word 'caused.'
