Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Forget Sauron and the Lich King, this battle goes divine: the fallen god Melkor/Morgoth Bauglir versus the fallen god Sargeras. Both have all their powers and armies, Morgoth with Sauron, Gothmog, and all that; Sargeras with Kil'jaeden, Archimonde, and the rest of the Legion, including the Scourge and Illidan. The battlefield is the volcanic wasteland typical for demonic villains like them (think Mordor). Share your thoughts!
Edit: To clarify, this is full-scale war, that means both Morgoth and Sargeras themselves, as well as their lieutenants and armies. Both armies have well-defended strongholds to their disposal.Last edited by Athaniar; 2007-11-30 at 01:37 PM.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Hum... You realise that you took things from different periods and merged them together, right?
For example Sauron only created Mordor after Morgoth was gone...
And we need to estabilish if this is only a battle or its a war, if they have their fortress, etc.Last edited by lipe44; 2007-11-30 at 01:17 PM.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
I think Sargeras would win.
His army is much larger and more powerful than Morgoth's, and Sargeras has been able to destroy many worlds on his Burning Crusade.
Morgoth was also wounded several times by Fingolfin, who I realize is one of the most powerful elves to ever live, but you just don't cut Sargeras. Ever.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
She consumed that trees created by the Valar(Forgot their name but i remenber they had a monstrous power), Ungoliant had the power to consume light and again it was after he lost most of his power creating races.
Morgoth was wounded by Fingolfin after losing most of his powers creating Balrogs, Dragons, etc.Last edited by lipe44; 2007-11-30 at 01:22 PM.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Scenario one: armies and fortresses included. Sargeras wins, though by not so wida a margin. I give him victory for one reason. Blizzard wasn't too worried about oversatement when they said "he lived for milion of years and subdued single handedly all demons that ever existed". Tolkien would give Melkor (including the very long stretch of time of Arda's chant of creation) many thousands of years, and fewer actual battle feats. Moreover, Balrogs, Dragons, Orcs (do they even count against demons) and all the fallen maiar that pledged allegiance to Melkor, including Sauron and even Ungweliante, did not number in the godzillions as per WOW. So, if we stick to actual words, alas Sageras gets the gold medal. Esp. since he has one last advantage. Tolkien made Melkor not immune from fear. That is, Feanor could yell at him and he though thrice before opening the door of Angband and seeing what that elf with fiery eyes and icy sword wanted, as he seemed pretty f****n upset.
Scenario 2: let's consider the two stumbling across each other after a good after dinner at the pub, in a dark alley (or in a volcanic plateau with molten pits, you'd be surprised to know where some people will open pubs...). Let's also consider them at their highest peak of power (that is, Melkor as BBEG but without having lost an ounce of power and Sarg. as x videogame)
M. is considered first and foremost of all the Valar (that is, deities) under Eru Iluvatar. he was in the band that chanted the world into being (although he was a punk among classical musicians).
S. is considered the n°1 owned among the titans, that seems to suggest that there is a higher order of beings (let's call them Elder Gods, for f'taghn's sake). Powerful, but sort of limited to fighting demons. Yep, millions. yep, all alone. But still...
SpoilerMelkor didn't even have to fight them. He just walked up to a bunch of (thousand) fire spirits and said.....: you worms! from now on, I'm the s**t, and you all have to take a whiff. Did I make myself clear?
Sir yes Sir! [on attention]

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Tip top shape in a one-on-one? I'm not really sure, though my love of Tolkien makes me lean slightly in Melkor's favour. Both are incredibly powerful divine beings, and Morgoth was still more or less unbeatable by anything short of the Valar even after much of his energy was wrapped up in the world itself, and after creating the Dragons and other such nasties.
In a war, I side with the Burning Legion. Tolkien orcs can't stand up to Warcraft Demons.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Sargeras, or at least a physical avatar thereof, was utterly defeated in combat by assorted dragons and a powerful wizard in the Warcraft setting.
I should also point out that the Titans were indeed deities in their own right; Further, the Burning Crusade is well up to the task of slaying deities; I think 6 or 7 of Azeroth's deities fell fighting their first, more powerful, invasion, and the Demigod Cenarius gets killed by demon-empowerred Orcs.
I'm pretty sure we're talking about generally even fellas.Last edited by Rutee; 2007-11-30 at 04:59 PM.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
nit pick, the burning legion killed most of Azeroth's demi gods, only one or two gods, after massive losses
But this is a really even match, however i just want to point something out
1. If morgoth is at full power, and has his entire army plus Sauron's then can't he take Sauron's ring (sauron is an acually loyal servent, he won't mind) to perserve his power, then create a new army from scratch along with his current one, and his powers will not be depleted, while Sauron is creating another army at the same time.
And both Melkar and Sauron can corrupt enemies
Now if only Gannon got involved

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Melkor (not yet called Morgoth at that time), at the height of his power, was literally the most powerful being in all of Creation (which makes him the second-most powerful being in existance). So if we're comparing the two at the heights of their powers, then Melkor wins. But by the time that most of Tolkien's stories take place, Morgoth had already squandered a great deal of his power, and was actually pretty pathetic (as divine beings go, at least). So at some later time, it could easily favor Sargaras.
Of course, there's another possibility that we should consider, namely that Sargaras and Melkor are actually just two different names for the same entity. I actually think this is somewhat likely, but it renders the question moot.
1. If morgoth is at full power, and has his entire army plus Sauron's then can't he take Sauron's ring (sauron is an acually loyal servent, he won't mind) to perserve his power,Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Heavy losses in grunts, yes; The only 'hero unit', as it were, that they lost from their own forces was Hakkar the Houndmaster. I mean, their corrupted puppet, Azshara, lost some of her top people, but of the Burning Legion itself, only Hakkar got whacked.
My point was more "Seriously, guys, this isn't "Lolz LotR wins" like Sauron vs. Voldy was; We're talking about people on the same plane, power-wise.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
The One Ring is completely, utterly irrelevant to a being of Morgoth's scale. Morgoth, like Sauron after him, invested a great portion of his power and malice into a physical object, but when Morgoth did so, the physical object he used wasn't just some bit of bling, it was the entire World

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
I may be remembering this wrong, but doesn't the orc warrior that gets sucked back in time during the War of the Ancients wound Sargeras after he goes through the portal?
I would call this an even match, because basically, they are the same being. Sargeras is Morgoth taken and altered to fit the War Craft Universe. And they both harken back to Satan as their ultimate insperation.The Historian: This DM has the history of his world written out millenniums back. It is intricate, complex, and most importantly, incredibly long. Moreover, everything your characters are doing is based on the previous history. It also tends to lead to loudmouth NPCS who will explain hundreds of years of history at a time while the players try to gouge their eardrums out with mechanical pencils.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
What I'm saying is that the powerful entities of Azeroth, in a combined effort, were able to defeat his physical embodiment in combat.
This suggests that Sargeras is not strictly invincible, and that the powerful entities of Tolkein's universe (such as Morgoth) might pose a major challenge to him.
I should also point out that the Titans were indeed deities in their own right; Further, the Burning Crusade is well up to the task of slaying deities; I think 6 or 7 of Azeroth's deities fell fighting their first, more powerful, invasion, and the Demigod Cenarius gets killed by demon-empowerred Orcs.
I'm pretty sure we're talking about generally even fellas.
Sargeras was also arguably the second-most powerful being in Creation at the height of his powers.
On the other hand, the Burning Legion sent lots and lots of grunts and only a few heroes- the grunts presumably represented a large fraction, if not a majority, of the total power of the Legion's forces on Azeroth. As is the case in Warcraft III, where even though hero units are very powerful, they are not a majority of the power of the armies involved in the conflict and could often be defeated if fighting alone.
Seconded.

On the other hand, it's not clear that Sargeras possesses more personal power than all his troops combined. He possesses sufficient power to defeat any one of them, or any probable combination of them, but all of them? We don't really know.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Right. So the fact that the Burning Legion could accomplish a task, or that a portion of the Legion could accomplish the task with only a few casualties among the powerful demons that make up its 'officer corps', is not surprising.
The Legion is a very large and powerful army, organized for the purpose of overrunning planets and conquering them. When it hits a planet like Azeroth at a time when that planet is not especially militarized (as would have been the case in the War of the Ancients), I'd expect something like this to happen:
The powerful beings of Azeroth would have to take a much more active and aggressive role in the fighting than the powerful leaders of the Legion, because the Legion has a vast supply of reserve troops and Azeroth does/did not. And it is very clear that in Warcraft, 'mere mortal' warriors can take down even extremely powerful beings, as Grom Hellscream killed Mannoroth. So the deities of Azeroth would be more likely to die in the battle than the 'deities' of the Burning Legion, even assuming that they were entities of equal power.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
Sargeras wins. He is the *brother* of the single most powerful titan in exsistance, took on demons all by himself, managed to eat who knows how many worlds. And if I am correct, he has been around for ages.
Even Malfurion almost succumbed to the sheer power of manipulation that he possessed, someone who is not evil. Yes, Sargeras possess the power of manipulation as effective, if not more so, than Morgoth. It can work on all beings unless they have a exceptional focus and will power. And Sargeras is already as evil and corrupted as possible.
And the dragons never confronted Sargeras face too face. He only actuelly fought on Azeroth while fighting Aegwynn, who defeated because he allowed her too.
Edit: Whoops! I said son! He was actuelly the brother of the most powerful Titan.Last edited by Bago!!!; 2007-12-05 at 05:27 PM.

Re: Morgoth vs. Sargeras
I'm ok with potentially calling this even, in the pub situation.
But a full scale battle? The burning legion wins. This isn't one world, nor one galaxy we are talking here...
