See for example:
Lore Unu
So Sargeras downfall was caused by encountering the evil eredar. (Which he prisonend, and later as he got insane recruited as his officiers.
New Lore:
Eredars downfall is caused by Sargeras madness.
Nice retcon.

OK, I see. Thanks for the link. I read through it. However, I'd have to say that the older history is less believable than the newer history. Either way, the main points remain. Sargaras is evil and formed the Burning Legion and used the Eredar as part of his army. In one version, the Eredar were already evil and led Sargaras to start brooding over the wisdom of the Titans. In the other version, the Eredar were if not pure and good at least just doing their own thing and ended up being corrupted by Sargaras. So, it's a matter of deciding whose corruption came first. The way creation myths change and evolve over time, this is actually a minor point. One could simply say that we know more now than we did before about what happened in the past.
