The Titans are not all-knowing. It is entirely possible that they
thought
they killed the Old God(s). Heck, it is entirely possible that all of the Old Gods are still alive, and they simply
outsmarted
the Titans.
Now that I think about it... it is possible.

C'Thun and Yogg-Saron better not be
faking
their deaths. Players won't like that one bit =P

You can't kill an Old God.

There are rumours in the comics that Cho'gall and the Hammer are helping to resurrect C'thun, that's why they ninja'ed Med'dan and Valessa.

There are five old gods:
The One in the Master's Glaive (Soggoth)
C'thun
Yogg-Saron
N'zath: In Blizzcon 2010's Quests and Lore panel, Chris Metzen revealed that the third named Old God, which is to be revealed in Cataclysm, will be called N'Zath. It was mentioned that he may be the mastermind behind the corruption of the Emerald Dream. Metzen also implied that this Old God may be the one "signing Deathwing's cheques".
Un-named one:The Badlands is a barren zone, ravaged by the horde in the Second war and decimated by Deathwing during the Cataclysm. The zone is also home to a lot of Titan lore, like Ulduman, which holds powerful mystical magical mystical relics. In fact one relic caught my attention:
http://www.wowpedia.org/Quest:Return_to_Blam
. In this quest, you are told to go find this titan relic in the Tomb of the Watchers, and you uncover a disc. When you take the disc back to Blam, he activates it, and this cutscene starts:
Dr. Hieronymus Blam says: Hey, look! It's flying!
Eye of the Watchers says: Boot-up protocol completed. Scanning for objective...
Eye of the Watchers says: Objective identified. Scanning...
The eye hovers over the dragon whelp corpse.
Eye of the Watchers says: Anomaly detected. Probable source: Azerothian Old God. Attempting to excise anomaly...
The Eye channels something into the corpse, and black smoke floats up above...
Eye of the Watchers says: Anomaly excised. Repeating sub-protocol...
It flies over the wild black dragon egg...
Eye of the Watchers says: Anomaly excised. Repeating sub-protocol...
It flies over Nyxondra's egg...
Eye of the Watchers says: Anomaly excised. Re-assembling remaining material...
Eye of the Watchers says: Viable subject compiled. No anomalies detected.
The three objects are combined into a Purified Black Dragon Egg!
Eye of the Watchers says: User-objective protocol complete. Stasis protocol re-enabled.
The eye flies away, back toward the tomb.
As it says, the Black Dragon Eggs and whelps are effected by an Old Gods taint(which is interestingly curable). These eggs are becoming twilight eggs from raw black eggs, and apparently old god essence, and in the creation of the first twilight drakes, those were also the ingredients(demon soul instead). Since the demon soul is gone(for real this time, its gone), the only way they could become twilight is through local azerothian old gods, and since this all takes place in the badlands, I speculate that there is an old god in the Badlands.
I take it back, Not just the badlands, but i bet the old god im specualtion about would stretch from Twilight Highlands, to Burning Steeps, and up to Arathi.
Evidence:
In the description for the zone(was originally on the Wow community site), it says: "These dark whisperers chose the highlands as their base of operations for a reason. They can feel the presence of the Old Gods in the air and see their victory in the darkness. The shifting landscape, battling factions, and wicked elements embody the cult's vision of what its world will become as it is finally purged of life and order. The rest of Azeroth will follow the Twilight Highlands into oblivion, one way or another." which makes it sound like the Twilight Hammer can feel a full fledged Old God in the Twilight Highlands, reason why they chose that place to set up camp. On top of that, the bulk of their egg storage that is starting to become Twilight Eggs is in Twilight Highlands, and going abck to the theory that they required local sources for that power, it makes sense for a old god to be in that zone(which is adjecent to Badlands).
The other zone im speculating it to be in is Arathi. My evidence being the infamous Myzreal. Myzreal is a stone elemental who was corrupted by and something during the time of the titans and imprisoned under Arathi. In a questline, you free her and defeat the evil corrupting her.
"As the eldritch shackles are placed around the Shards, an unhuman wail is heard from far below. The scream is followed by a roar.
The Shards of Myzrael no longer invoke feelings of warmth and security as they once did. Now they pulse with an open menace... as if the thing beneath them holds ill will toward the surface."
This really sounds like an old god that was corrupting her, and as with Badlands, it is adjecent to Twilight Highlands.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, I beleive that there is an old god in Twilight highlands/Badlands/Arathi. This old god is the main factor in the creation of Twilight Drakes and is most likely corrupting Deathwing alongside N'zath.

So....yeah.
1. No, the Master Glaive is a Lieutenant of the Old Gods, do the quests in Darkshore, they explain that.
2. N'Zoth is the confirmed 3rd one, and is the one responsible for Xavius and the Nightmare(best bet anyways), and I think it's somewhere in Northwest Kalimdor, as Xavius said something grabbed his tree and pulled it to the shore of Azshara. Also a good guess that N'Zoth is the Old God responsible for the Naga as well.

This really sounds like an old god that was corrupting her, and as with Badlands, it is adjecent to Twilight Highlands.Um...not exactly: She is the follower of a 'destroyer', but the Giants of Arathi sealed her away, with the help of the Kobolds. She wasn't corrupted by anything and attempted to bring about mass destruction, as she tricked you in that questline to free her back in Vanilla.
This old god is the main factor in the creation of Twilight Drakes and is most likely corrupting Deathwing alongside N'zath.Incorrect again? As Deathwing is main factor for creating the Twilight Dragons in Grim Batol, after manipulating his last mate in forging the first one.

Just want to mention that Myzrael is purified and can be found in Deepholme.

Blizz are doing there job very good.Look at how secretly they've locked the Old Gods.If you think of it a bit,you will notice that we have absoluetly no idea were the last 2 (if the remaining are 2) are hidden.Heck,we have a hard time saying were even N'zoth is.
So,as much as we speculate no one has guessed and i believe that no one will ever guess were an Old God's position is untill that Old God shatters its chains and begins to devour souls.

@basementcat : yes they are trying to summon an old god but it's not 1 of the Azerotians
Draenor(now Outland ) is a moon of Azeroth . the old god that they tried to summon may be involved with Azeroth and our own Old gods but is not 1 of the 5 on Azeroth

Well they 'killed' C'thun, but imprisoned the other 4 Old Gods. And they actually created a whole new realm to imprison the Elementals and their Lords; the Elemental Planes.

Actually, the fight over the sands of Silithus was between C'thun and the Forger team(from what it sounds like) and the leader of the team had the final blow on the Old One, sending him into the sand but the Titan died shortly after: As far as everyone know C'thun was dead at that point. Wasn't a matter of faking it's own death as it was injured fairly heavily, which is seen by the fact that we've still never fought C'thun at full power.
And during that time, the Old One still built the Aqir empire, had it destroyed and shattered by the Troll empires at the time, then got to work on crafting the Quarji after that point as well as taking over the mutating Aqir that were becoming the Silithids. But the entire time, it was still in hiding; it wasn't till the Second War of the Sands that C'thun finally revealed itself....just in time to get lobotomized by the heroes of Azeroth.
But no, one has killed an Old God yet.

Rezzing it up.
Well well well
....7 heads, and actually confirmed 'dead' dead this time; and from it's dying breath came the Sha.
And from the Klaxxi: seems that us being buddies means nothing if the Old Ones came back, cause they'll be jumping ship back to them, so that sounds like they were 'corrupted' by the Old Ones a long time ago....which means that the Aqir may have been the original species on Azeroth, in addition to the Old Ones and the Elementals they crafted....
Since Pandaria is now in the south and we know there isn't an Old God in Tirisfal, guess that means the Star theory is a little lopsided now.

I've been thinking that the five old gods are just like fungi. Their manifestations are the "reproductive" part (as Old gods spawn tentacles), and the "roots" (not sure what's the term in english) are deeply tied into Azeroth itself, so killing the "roots" would destroy the planet.

The Sha
; and after reading that over...realized the idea that it was C'thun in the named fight is wrong: That was speaking of Y'Shaarj, and going off what happened when this Old God fell, has a new twist on the fact that we don't/can't them, since their deaths can still screw over the world.

I'm really looking forward to finding out what's going on with the Old Gods, and the Sha are a really neat way of directing the story. In this case, it's not as simple as "stave off the other faction while working to defeat Illidan/The Lich King/Deathwing, and then go back to fighting until the next big bad shows up." In this case, we players will presumably be actively working for peace, rather than instigating more war.

And apparently Wratharion is involved in some way heh. But can't wait for the Seventh 'Sha of' *insert emotion* to appear, since we've only seen Anger, Despair, Doubt, Fear, Hatred and Violence.
This is really the way Lore should be going heh, with new additions that we can actually see and experience.
