Aman’Thul, Highfather of the Pantheon: The Fist of Ra-den was Aman'Thul's weapon--it was given to Highkeeper Ra to use while fighting the Black Empire. This is now the Elemental Shaman Artifact Weapon. Other references to Aman'Thul include the Hall of the High Father in Ulduar, one of Murozond's final quotes, and the Blast of Aman'Thul ability from Wrath of the Titans.
Sargeras, Defender of the Pantheon: There aren't many references to pre-corrupted Sargeras. Scepter of Sargeras is the Destruction Warlock artifact weapon, Mardum, the Shattered Abyss is the Demon Hunter starting zone (originally the prison Sargeras created for demons), and Cursed Vision of Sargeras is a drop from Illidan.
Aggramar, Lieutenant of the Great Sargeras: Aggramar's Stride is a legendary in Legion and Aggramar is an objective in Path of the Titans
Eonar, The Life-Binder: During the Freya encounter, Eonar's Gift is a tree that spawns which massively heals Freya if not destroyed in time. When Freya is freed and players speak to her to receive a buff for the Yogg-Saron encounter, Freya says "Eonar, your servant calls for your blessing!"
Khaz’goroth, Shaper and Forger of Worlds: Apparatus of Khaz'goroth is a trinket from Firelands, Spark of Khaz'goroth is a Legion relic, and Hammer of Khaz'goroth is an important item in Highmountain questing. The quest series Ever Watching From Above explains how Khaz'goroth created Un'Goro Crater as an area for experimentation.
Norgannon, Keeper of Celestial magics and Lore: The quest Norgannon's Shell sends you to find several items of Norgannon in Storm Peaks, Norgannon's Foresight is a legendary in Legion, and Mark of Norgannon is a trinket from the Malygos encounter. The Lore Keeper of Norgannon can also be found in Ulduar and Uldaman.
Golganneth, Lord of the Skies and Roaring Oceans: The quest The Good Stuff sends you to retrieve Engraved Tablets of Golganneth, and when Thorim is freed in Ulduar, he calls upon Golganneth when players ask him for assistance with Yogg-Saron.

Patch 7.3 Datamining:

All of the titan spirits, except for Eonar, have been captured by Sargeras. The Coven of Shivarra--Noura, Mother of Flames, Asara, Mother of Night, Diima, Mother of Gloom, Thu'raya, Mother of the Cosmos--holds the titan essences captive, and during their encounter in Antorus, you will use titan-themed abilities. Learn more about this Antorus encounter at this link.

This cutscene takes place at 3:38 in our Argus Questline Part 4 Video.

Eonar: I remember the awakening. How life sprang forth all around us.
I remember unity...until it was shattered by betrayal.
I remember fleeing...to keep him from his prize.
The time for hiding is over. Aid me...or everything ends.

Whispers of a Frightened WorldThe Voidlords

Learn more on Wowhead:
Void magic currently manifests itself in multiple ways on Azeroth:

The Void is seen in a number of Shadow Priest abilities. In Legion, Shadow Priest spell animations have even more of a Void theme, with tentacles sprouting in Voidform and Call to the Void. Abilities that include "Void" magic in Legion include: Lingering Insanity, , , , Void Shift, , Void Shield, Void Corruption, Void Siphon, Call to the Void, Void Torrent, Void Cleave
In Voidform, you are forced to speak Shath'Yar, the language of the Old Gods.
There are Void Gods on Azeroth, which are formed by corrupting naaru. Notable Void Gods include Demidos and Entropius.
Warlocks can summon Voidwalkers as minions, and you can get your own Voidwalker pet with Crystal of the Void.
Xhul'horac in Hellfire Citadel is one of the most powerful Void Revenants. He drops themed loot like Voidcore Greatstaff, Sinister Felborne Helmet, and Unstable Felshadow Emulsion
The rare mount Voidtalon of the Dark Star has the flavor text: "Corrupted by the presence of the Dark Star in Draenor, the Voidtalons resisted being broken by the Shadowmoon Clan and were ultimately destroyed by Ner'zhul. Only a single egg remains, lost in the Void."
Likewise, the cute battle pet Lost Netherpup has the text "Rumor has it that some beasts that were touched by the Void exist in a space between this world and the next."
The Shadow Priest Artifact Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire has a number of eerie Void whispers, many of which lend themselves to lore speculation! Check out many of the whispers in this comment.

Datamining in Patch 7.3
It appears that famed marksman Alleria Windrunner is learning the powers of the Void.
Locus-Walker How industriously they work. A pity they will be overtaken.
Alleria I sense a little disappointment. Was I really your best student?
Locus-Walker I had hoped to find at least one promising soul on this rock.
Alleria I have not turned away from that path. You know why I resisted.
Alleria I need to finish what I started, Locus-Walker.
Locus-Walker Can you, though? With your... attachments?

Alleria What are you talking about?
Locus-Walker Why your mate of course. How does he feel about your choices?
Alleria Turalyon trusts me to make hard decisions, and I him.
Locus-Walker I am not talking about trust.
Locus-Walker How can you expect to embrace the Shadow with the Light shining so brightly at your side?
Alleria Without the Light there is no Shadow teacher.

Locus-Walker Well, Windrunner? What say you?
Alleria Show me the path. I am ready to walk it.
Locus-Walker Right this way.

Locus-Walker Ah! Right on time, fleshling.
Locus-Walker Prepare yourself, Alleria. Your friend here will hold its attention.
Alleria That thing... it's... calling to me!
Locus-Walker How do you feel?
Alleria My head is... swimming.
Locus-Walker Remember... So long as your mind is your own, you command this power. It does not command you.
Locus-Walker Yes, this specimen will do.
Alleria How did you do it by yourself?
Locus-Walker Ah, well. Perhaps I will tell you one day.
Locus-Walker Until then, I will be keeping an eye on your progress.

Alleria You should return to the Vindicaar and share what we have learned.
Alleria My path takes me into the Seat of the Triumvirate... to whatever fate awaits me there.
Alleria I am certain Velen will understand.

Locus-Walker Seize the power of the portals, Alleria! It can become your weapon!
Locus-Walker Focus your mind. Remember your training.
Alleria Arator! Turalyon!?
Locus-Walker The Void shows only half truths. Trust your instincts.
Alleria I can't-- I-- Argh!
Alleria I won't let you! I am not yours to claim!
Alleria Begone, wretched darkness.
Locus-Walker Fight, curse you!
Locus-Walker Be sure to collect our prize, fleshling. I will tend to Alleria.
Locus-Walker The heart of a demigod. This is no mere token, Alleria.
Locus-Walker Take it, and you will be one step closer to your destiny.
Alleria I understand. Thank you. Both of you.
Alleria It's... cold.

Alleria I sense great despair emanating from within. L'ura...
Locus-Walker Yes, the naaru. We must get inside. Alleria, the skills you have learned can open the way.
Alleria Understood. Champions, once the door is open clear the way to L'ura. We will be right behind you.
Locus-Walker Siphon the portal energy! The naaru's weakness will become your strength!
Locus-Walker Take her shadow for your own, Alleria! Do as I trained you!

Alleria Your timing is fortuitous, champions. Members of the Shadowguard are nearby, infusing the natives with Void energy. To what end, I do not know.
Alleria Get in there and try to figure out why they are, and put a stop to their efforts.
Alleria Such chaos... such anguish. I have never sensed anything like it before.
Locus-Walker It is rare that a naaru falls into Void this way. The few cases I know of have occurred when mortals were involved. What fascinating implications...
Locus-Walker Such musings can wait, though. This entity must die.
AlleriaHow did a being of the Light become a creature of Shadow?
Locus-Walker The Void is a force of change... of transformation. Shadows are fluid, ever shifting.
Alleria I feel the fallen naaru's power. It beckons me.
Locus-Walker You stand on the cusp of destiny, Alleria. There will be choices to make... and consequences to face.
Alleria Even defeated, the darkened naaru surges with power. I hear the shadows calling to me.
Locus-Walker Claim its essence, Alleria Windrunner. Make its chaos your own.
Locus-Walker You survived... interesting! How do you feel?
AlleriaThe voices are louder now. More insistent. But they do not control me.
Locus-Walker You asked me to teach you to use the Void as a weapon. Now that weapon is you.
Alleria It seems my training is complete.
Locus-Walker Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need to test the limits of this newfound power. Come.

Azeroth and the Old Gods

Learn more about the Black Empire on Wowhead...

Elemental Lords: Al'Akir in Throne of the Four Winds, Ragnaros in Firelands and Molten Core, Therazane as a faction in Deepholm, and Neptulon in Throne of the Tides
There are four Old Gods: Yogg-Saron in Ulduar and C'Thun in Temple of Ahn'Qiraj are boss fights. Heart of Y'Shaarj is a remnant of the slain Old God, whose destruction can be seen in Vale of Eternal Blossoms and Siege of Orgrimmar. N'Zoth has not been seen in game yet, but is likely in Vash'jir and is responsible for corrupting Legion content like the Emerald Nightmare.
Learn more about the Old Gods, related instances, spooky whispers, and artifact weapons in our World of Warcraft Chronicle: Black Empire summary.

Patch 7.3 Datamining
We haven't seen N'Zoth yet but we may see him in the future. During the 7.3 PTR, we datamined an armor set called Kul Tiras which depicted a map surrounded by tentacles.

Based on the dialogue with Varimathras, one of the upcoming Antorus bosses, it seems likely we'll also be geting more lore with Jaina (presumably in Kul Tiras) and Sylvanas:
Alliance:
Varimathras: So, your Alliance still endures. Longer than I expected, though she has already planted the seeds of its downfall. She is patient, that one.
Varimathras: When your thrones run red with betrayal... when your holy places burn and the shattered mask hangs above your hearth... only then you will know. And it will be too late.
Varimathras: It matters not. You are blind to the true darkness closing in around you.

Horde:
Varimathras: So, she found me at last. Sent her underlings to finish the job.
Varimathras: Tell me, when she seized your throne of hides and bones, was your allegiance forced? No... I'd wager you surrendered it willingly... or were convinced you did.
Varimathras: It matters not. You are blind to the darkness in your midst.

We have a series of lore spotlights on the Keepers of Azeroth from World of Warcraft Chronicle, covered in the Ordering of Azeroth,
Betrayal of the Titans, and Pandaria and Ra.
Freya, Mimiron, and Thorim are encounters in Ulduar, Loken is a boss in Halls of Lightning, Highkeeper Ra became Ra-den in Throne of Thunder (and was given the Elemental Shaman artifact The Fist of Ra-den as a weapon in the war), Odyn is the namesake of the Fury Warrior Artifact in Legion, Archaedas is an encounter in Uldaman, and Tyr is the namesake of Tirisfal Glades and The Silver Hand.
Odyn has done some questionable things in his past; we made a whole Story of Odyn and Helya examining his actions.
Yogg capitalized on the unrest of the Keepers, corrupting Loken who eventually turned on the other keepers, imprisoning several of their spirits in Ulduar. Starting with the The Crone's Bargain quest in Storm Peaks, you can learn how the betrayal came about.
Tyr came up with a plan to thwart Loken; The Discs of Norgannon were stolen and taken to Uldaman, guarded by Archaedas. Loken retaliated by sending C’Thraxxi generals after Tyr—Zakazj and Kith’ix. You can learn about the corruption in Tirisfal Glades via the Shadow Priest, Arms Warriors, and Holy Paladin artifact quests.

Patch 7.3 Information
In the upcoming patch, we see that Aggramar has been raised by his former mentor Sargeras.

This cutscene takes place at 37:38 in our Argus Questline Part 1 Video.
Aggramar: What is your bidding master?
Sargeras: The circle nears completion. The mortals must not disrupt the rebirth.
Those who will not serve will be destroyed. It is the only way.
Become the instrument of my wrath once again, Aggramar. End this incursion of the Light.

Arrival of the Naaru is an archaeology toy that depicts the first time the Naaru met the Eredar. The Last Relic of Argus is an additional archaeology solve with the flavor text "Before they lived on Azeroth or Draenor, the Draenei, who still called themselves the Eredar at the time, lived on Argus. When Sargeras took notice of Argus, Prophet Velen fled with some of his people, who became the Draenei. The remaining Eredar were absorbed into the Burning Legion. This simple crystal was taken from Argus when Velen fled. The inscription on the bottom reads, 'I long for Mac'Aree.'" This item ports you to a random place in Azeroth.
Many of the Draenei Archaeology Solves reference the former magical and elegant civilization.

Patch 7.3 Datamining

In the upcoming patch, we see Argus first-hand after the corruption of Sargeras. Check out our zone previews of Krokuun and Mac'Aree.
Argus has three zones, a dungeon, and a raid. This will be unlocked on a staggered schedule. The first week of the patch, Krokuun and Antoran Wastes will be available. The second week will unlock the Netherlight Crucible and Dungeon. The third week will unlock the final zone Eredath. In Patch 7.3.5, the new raid Antorus, the Burning Throne will unlock.
In questing through Mac'Aree, the jewel of Argus, you learn more about Eredar rituals and how to acquire the Crown of the Triumvirate. One step will require you to retrieve the Sigil of Conservatory, locked behind several clever trials devised by Archimonde. Through this questline you'll get a sense of the old civilization of the Eredar.You'll even find Lord Jaraxxus before he was corrupted, Grand Vizier Jarasum!
When questing through Krokuun, you'll come across the remaining uncorrupted Eredar refugees. In their area, they have a museum section showing off some of their prized relics, which you can click on and read about, including a shrine to Broxigar.

Velen's Escape

Learn more on Wowhead

Kil'jaeden is the final boss of Sunwell Plateau and makes an appearance in the Legion Subtlety Rogue Artifact Questline as well as granting Caria Felsoul the Aldrachi Warblades in the Vengeance Demon Hunter Artifact Questline and Varedis Felsoul the Havoc Demon Hunter Artifact Twinblades of the Deceiver. He then makes a final appearance as the last boss in Tomb of Sargeras. Many of his actions were driven by revenge against his former friend Velen; this led him to corrupt the Orcs on Draenor to turn against the relocated Draenei. You can read about Kil'jaeden in-game with Kil'jaeden and the Shadow Pact.
Archimonde is a boss in both Burning Crusade and Warlords of Draenor. In The Burning Crusade, players go back in time to Battle of Mount Hyjal where Archimonde aimed to destroy the World Tree and absorb its power. In Warlords of Draenor, an alternate reality, Archimonde leads the demons in an invasion of Draenor. When he is defeated in Hellfire Citadel, he reminds Gul'dan that they had a pact, sending him through the Black Gate. It is later revealed, in a Legion cinematic, that Gul'dan steals Illidan's remains from Vault of the Wardens. There are several special rewards for defeating Archimonde during Warlords of Draenor: Time is a Flat Circle on Normal+ difficulty, Reins of the Grove Warden on Heroic+, and and Felsteel Annihilator on Mythic. Before Archimonde was corrupted by Sargeras, he murdered Thal'kiel, an Eredar master of summoning demons that pushed too far into the Void. Thal'kiel's skull, Skull of the Man'ari, served as a warning about power to the other Eredar.
Prophet Velen is the leader of the Draenei, residing in The Exodar. He is best known to players for appearing at the end of The Sunwell and reigniting the well with the fallen spirit of the naaru M'uru, so the Blood Elves could have a healthy source of magic. He also makes an appearance in the Priest Artifact questlines and T'uure, Beacon of the Naaru, the Holy Priest artifact, was used to help the Draenei escape from one of the worlds the Legion found them on. He also makes an appearance in alternate-reality Warlords of Draenor in Shadowmoon Valley. In this version, he ultimately sacrifices himself, passing on his holy mark to Yrel, so he could purify Ner'zhul's weapon: the fallen naaru K'ara, the Dark Star. You are then mailed The Prophet's Arcanum which starts The Prophet's Final Message and builds a memorial to Velen in Karabor.
K'ure in Burning Crusade Nagrand has befriended the Orc Spirits, and is weakened but pure. In Warlords of Draenor, Cho'gall captures K'ure and transforms the naaru in the Void god Decimatus, which players must destroy in The Dark Heart of Oshu'gun.
Burning Legion Missive is a toy added in Warlords of Draenor that displays meetings with various members of the Burning Crusade. You can read all of the lines here.

Patch 7.3 Datamining
In Patch 7.3, we see a flashback sequence of Velen escaping Argus after his friend Talgath betrayed him.

This cutscene takes place at 7:10 in our Argus Questing Part 2 Video, during Eredath, Jewel of Argus. Music will likely be added to this cutscene in the future.

Chieftain Hatuun: Talgath has turned against us!
Prophet Velen: No... not you too, old friend...
Chieftain Hatuun: It cannot end like this. Take the others and go, Prophet. We will buy you time.
Prophet Velen: Hatuun, no! You do not have to do this!
Chieftain Hatuun: Please... keep my family safe.
Prophet Velen: K'ure! Help us!
Kil'Jaeden: I will hunt you across the stars, traitor! Even if it takes a thousand years!

documented in our Argus playthrough

Young Kil'jaeden My people, I have called you here to share a revelation.
For so long, we Eredar have been alone in the universe.
We need not endure this solitude any longer.
He has shown us the path to a new future.
In partnership with our new ally, the light of the Eredar will shine bright across the cosmos!
I ask you, now, to raise your voices in praise. Praise Sargeras!
The beacon of our civilization shining bright... upon what we feared was an empty Void.
The Triumvirate has received a visitor from another world!
He offers us power unlike any we have known before.

Patch 7.3 Datamining
Khadgar, Alleria, and Turalyon are reunited in Patch 7.3.

Archmage Khadgar: It is good to see you again, my friends. When I couldn't find you after the devastation of Draenor, I wasn't sure what to think.
High Exarch Turalyon: We feared for you as well, Khadgar. But I think part of me knew it would take more than the explosion of a planet to slow you down.
Alleria Windrunner: Kurdran and Danath are safe as well?
Archmage Khadgar: Indeed, though I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. When this is all behind us, perhaps the Sons of Lothar should share a reunion feast!
High Exarch Turalyon: I agree. It's been a long time, but as I recall it was your turn to buy the drinks Khadgar.
Archmage Khadgar: Well, I don't know about that...
Alleria Windrunner: Definitely your turn. Never question an elf's memory... even after a thousand years.

Arator the Redeemer: No doubt my mother will soon ask about Sylvanas. What are you going to tell her?
Vereesa Windrunner: It is a conversation I know we must have, but the thought of it fills me with dread. How can I explain to Alleria what our sister has become? The truth will break her heart.

Alleria Windrunner: I must know, Vereesa. What fate befell our sister?
Vereesa Windrunner: Give me a moment. I will do my best to explain...
Alleria Windrunner: Impossible! I refuse to believe she now leads the Horde. Not after all they did to our people during the war.
Vereesa Windrunner: There is more. I... I am not sure how to explain the rest. Or if this is even the time or place to-
Alleria Windrunner: Sisters are complicated. Especially the undead ones.
Vereesa Windrunner: Perhaps we had best discuss the matter in private. Come, sister.

Alleria Windrunner: I would have words with you, Huntmaster.
Alleria Windrunner: Vereesa told me you accompanied her on the mission to Niskara. That you risked your own life to rescue me, and prevented her from falling into the inquisitor's trap.
Alleria Windrunner: It is clear you wield Thas'dorah with skill and finesse. You bring honor to the bow and to the memory of those who carried it before you.
Alleria Windrunner: There may come a day when I will have need of my family weapon once again. But for now, at least, I have a different path to follow.
Alleria Windrunner: Hold Thas'dorah proudly, champion. Know that you have proven worthy of it.

Thank you for taking the time to organise and write this.Comment by TruweilI really want more lore on Lothraxion, his character is very intriguing. We have no prior precedent in the Warcraft Universe of a dreadlord turning good, and not just good, holy light good. You can see his horns have been cut off (Hellboy ref maybe?), so maybe that has something to do with his turning, or could be simply as a denunciation and differentiation from the rest of race. Maybe a sign that dreadlord were not originally demons but a regular race. How cool would it be if dreadlords became a playable race?Comment by UregaleGreat summary, thanks.Comment by MenelvagorThe hype machine is all cranked up!Comment by SmabreGood stuff.

Because Tyrande was there when we attack the nighthold but only arcanist Thalyssra was in the raid. Shame.
