Even if the Army of Light manages to kill Sargeras and most of Nathrezim, and Eredar forces, do you think the Burning Legion would cease to exist ? What will happen with all low tier demons when they are left without leaders ? __________________

There have always been demons since before the Burning Legion. There were Demons before the Titans figured out how to navigate the Great Dark. It would seem that the neather or fel magic will persist with or without bodies to corrupt. So in a way, if these demons ever organise again... then yes... they will always be a Legion as long as there life to corrupt. Sargeras likely lost hope because of this realisation that Demons are part of the natural order of the cosmos.

Inb4 "there must always be a Dark Titan"

I believe that the Burning Legion, as an organisation, can be defeated and will be at some point. Some demons will however always persist - even if in smaller groups and becoming just slightly annoying. Also, there will probably be a break-away faction we'll get to get reputation with, and that faction will end up surviving the Legion and becoming a major PITA, even if theoretically allied to us.

Little late to the game on that one.

In... what sense? I'm not familiar with the game.

A waste of time, a waste of emotional tension, a waste, if you fail to grasp the significance of narrative, of money.

In HoMaM the main planet was destroyed, and the inhabitants took a portal to a new world to restart.

Remember that demons, at least the upper tiers, go back to the nether when killed, to come back sooner or later. So unless we combine the power of three and figure out a vanquishing potion, the threat of a demon army will always be there.

Yes but physics aside, are non-demonic corporeal demons able to survive in the nether? If it's dark matter-like, which from what I understand seems that way, how would we be able to survive in there?

I guess Naruu could pull off some nifty tricks in there, I would imagine it would be pretty hard to get in there.

To my understanding, it's more like a gigantic portal plane that connects worlds, and whenever someone opens a portal to other worlds they are basically opening the door for the demons.

Well since the border between Outland and the Nether is kinda broken you can see other worlds, even if those words still have an intact border. All worlds are connected via the Nether after all.

The Nether in WoW seems to be a mix of the Astral Plane in many Dungeons and Dragons settings and the Immaterium in Warhammer 40,000 (which may, in turn, be somewhat based upon the Astral Plane).

If I'm reading the wiki correctly, then the Scarlet Crusade changed to the Scarlet Onslaught and is still active. Similar to how Draenor changed to Outland and is still active.

Aren't there still Old Horde holdouts in Khaz Modan, or did they finally get finished off?

As Nazja wrote, all worlds are connected through the twisting nether. Azeroth is the habitable world closest to Draenor through the twisting nether.

The twisting nether does remind me of the electric universe theory/hypothesis, which states that all solar systems are connected through immense birkeland streams, like pearls on a string.
