The Universe of WarCraft exists in a duality, as shown by the magic sheet. Life, death. Order, disorder (Chaos). Emerald Dream, Shadowlands. And, most importantly, Light and Shadow.
As we know, the Void Lords are all-powerful, Sargeras is afraid of them, yadda yadda. Much like their Old God creations, I imagine they give life simply by existing. Voidwalkers, Voidlords, Voidcallers, and, if my theory is correct, Void Gods are natural emanations of their power.
As we know, there are no lightborn champions that exist. All of the creatures of the Light are beings purified or chosen by the Light to champion its cause, save for the Naaru.
The Naaru, though beings of Light, exist in a duality. They are beings of Light during their Naaru phase, yes, but when they die, when their -light- is extinguished, only shadows remain, causing them to 'collapse' into a Void God, which is a powerful shadow being capable of summoning legions of Voidwalkers into existence. Why would such powerful champions of Light exist in two states at once if they were solely born of Light?
That's where my idea comes in. The Naaru, much like the Light's other champions, are purified Void. That is why, despite being 'Born of Light', their Light can fade. It's also why Void Gods who were once Naaru can be turned back into Naaru, because that is their purified form.
I realize there's a lot of gaps in my ideas and it's incredibly disjointed, but I have trouble putting my thoughts into words and it came to me in a burst of inspiration.
