It is definitely not the end as you can die within the Shadowlands which contradicts the purpose of death. At this point, death seems like another force in the universe that somehow managed to enslave life. If they took over the void and the light, they would not have their own afterlife and would be forced to be part of their machinery that was set up. They mentioned Sylvanas serves the true enemy and does not seem to like death. However, the void seems to be afraid of death and sees it as an enemy, maybe even the Jailer. They constantly attack everything from the Titans, to legion and mortal life which explains why they would also invade the Shadowlands. Big guess is the void would attempt to consume the souls to empower their souls and to eliminate everything as the void’s purpose is to create chaos. We have seen with Anduin and Revendreth that the light was able to reach the Shadowlands, influence and invade it. They may have lost their faith in the light which is why they were not sent to the light and were not “rescued” by the light forces. Maldraxxus seems to be a set up where they pick warriors across the universe and use them as their army. He is forced to protect Shadowlands and not by choice. Same goes for Alexandrios Mograine who did everything to protect his people and fight the Scourge that was sent to Maldraxxus. However the reality is you do not have a choice that is why there is rebellion and so much doubt. As you reach Bastion, you are forced to wipe out your memories and serve them. Why is the Paladin of the Paladins, Uther the champion of the light, being sent like an eternal “taxi driver” for Bastion instead of whatever the light offers? Is the life of service really deserving to work for someone else for all eternity? The light should be able to take him and it does not seem that he has much of a choice in Bastion.
Paladins Uther and Mograine are two good examples. What Sylvanas and the entire expansion suggests is that Shadowlands is more than likely enslaving us and isn’t good at all which is why they are trying to break it. We know that demons have their own afterlife, so does the void and the light and even the titans. So far, we know that Shadowlands is not the only afterlife, but it seems to be so for the mortal souls. Shadowlands seems unnatural, as if it was supposed to counter the light and the void. This could even be what Sargeras learned about this tug of war, which is why he went crazy and as a creature of order he wanted to make everything neat and tidy. Certainly it also hints to the first ones as all are brilliantly designed to be connected to one another. Another interesting thing which hints to what is to come in the future World of Warcraft expansions. They constantly compete for power over each other but if one fell, all worlds would fall into chaos. In Bastion, after we go through the memory, we are told that there is an eternal tug of war between the cosmic forces of existence. This might be hard to wrap your head around due to Blizzard being vague about it but let us focus on the information that we have. In fact, other forces in the universe are battling for it and trying to shift the balance in their favor. As it turns out, death is just another force in the cosmology chart and nothing else. However, that is now what is happening at the Shadowlands.
When Shadowlands was announced, have you ever thought about the point of Maldraxxus? Why does the afterlife need a military and why does it need defending? Afterlife is supposed to be the end, once you die it is over. What do we know about these campaigns and what really is the Shadowlands? In particular, the Void Lords launched assaults on the realm of death. This means that other forces in the universe have attempted to invade it and take over. However, it turns out that death is not that end seeing as you can die in Shadowlands and that it is just one part of the cosmology chart competing for power. Many of us thought that the Shadowlands is the AFTERLIFE.
