"If Slaanesh keeps Medivh and Luna tied down, and we have Arthas, the Lich King, then we're sure to win this battle!"
The Light Alliance was adjusting its strategy, and the Primal Abyss was doing the same.
The Seven Deadly Sins had originally intended to help Slaanesh capture Medivh in this decisive battle, then seize Luna as well.
