Doomguard witches were exceedingly rare demons. In fact, the Burning Legion under Sargeras's command likely had fewer than two thousand of them. First, the mountainous, brute-force Doomguards rarely produced females who drew their strength from intellect. Second, becoming a Doomguard witch required devoting one's entire body and soul to darkness.
Even demons found that difficult.
There was also a misconception: the Burning Legion consisted solely of demons, but it was not where all demons belonged. In fact, there were always rebellious individuals unwilling to join Sargeras's band of outlaws, and the Dark Titan could not even be bothered to ask about those scattered stragglers.
The Doomguard coven was the most powerful organization of Doomguard witches under his command, and its members were also the leaders of all Doomguard witches. The four of them were utterly loyal to Sargeras and possessed tremendous destructive power. He had dispatched them to Argus precisely to corrupt Aggramar and Eonar.
There was no doubting that the Doomguard witches possessed this ability. Aggramar was proof of that. Not all Titan Spirits possessed Dick's absurd mental defenses, either. After losing their physical forms, their resistance to this kind of mental torment had diminished far too much.
Even so, it had taken them a full ten thousand years to corrupt Aggramar. It had been a difficult process, but compared to Aggramar's warrior will, Eonar should have been somewhat easier-provided they could capture the Titan Spirit despite Dick's interference.
And after the freed Order Angel drove his sword through the coven leader's heart, that hope grew even more remote.
Normally, a demon of this caliber could not possibly die merely from having her heart pierced. Their vitality had reached unimaginable heights; they could even withstand a starship's attacks for a while. Unfortunately, Dick's thrust was not as simple as
