He eagerly joined the fallen  Sargeras who promised them knowledge, power and, most importantly, the answer to the question "what is the one  of the universe?", in exchange for loyalty. While most eredar, a knowledge-seeking race, joined the  because of their thirst for knowledge, Archimonde joined Sargeras for power.


 * ''During the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Malfurion Stormrage proposed a plan to sacrifice the Dragon Aspects enchantments upon Nordrassil to save Azeroth. He and his druids prepared the tree, and he blew on the Horn of Cenarius to summon forth hundreds of nature spirits to defeat Archimonde, who was about to rip Nordrassil in order to gain control of the second Well of Eternity, thereby sacrificing the night elves' immunity to diseases and aging, and causing a devastating shockwave which destroyed the Legion, and heavily damaged Nordrassil.
