But Derek wasn’t burned into ashes.

He really was, though.

“Then he [Derek] saw a glow deep within the dragon’s maw. It rushed forward, expanding as it came, and suddenly the world burst around him. He did not even have time to scream before the flames consumed him, and his body crumbled as it fell, burned to mere ash.”

• Tides of Darkness, page 314.

Sheesh, you’re right! It’s singular, not plural. Makes aaall the difference!

Since they said his body was burned into mere ashes, then it’s blizzard who broke their lore with yet another retcon. You can’t just change the status of someone’s dead body from ashes to rotted corpse.

Do you have a specific reason for this? I mean, it’s not like he did a great deal for Lordaeron, except wiping the kingdom out.

King Arthas will return, Brother Knight! We have need of his skills (and it’s totally down Blizz’s alley of reusing ideas).

Uruk officially left the story forum though.

Maybe it decayed instantly. Within WoW lore it is believed that if a person, who experiments with necromancy, can suffer such a fate. An example would be KeL’Thuzad. When Arthas and Jaina killed him, his whole body decomposed almost immediately.
