Hello,
Lots of people speculating on this. I believe I have found the answer, and it makes a lot of sense too.
As far as we know:
- The cycle of death was not broke until after the Emerald Nightmare raid
- The cycle of death had been broke for some until during the burning of Teldrassil.
I purpose the following sentiment:
The cycle of death broke during the raid of the Nighthold. After the killing of Gul'dan.
Time paradoxes mess with everything, Gul'dan of our reality had already been dead for quite some time. The reasoning for the red spirit could be a hint at the red portal to Draenor, which would explain why the cycle of death broke. Gul'dans spirit was not of our reality and had already been judged once before so the Arbiter could not judge the soul. This fits in with the storyline of when Sylvanas begins to go down a super dark path as the Helya raid and her pact would then come into fruition.
Also:
- Gul'dan as far as I am aware was the only soul that came through the Dark Portal (red) that had already previously died in our world once before.
Please provide counter arguments to this I am curious to hear what other peoples thoughts are on this.
