What happened to the villains?

So minor spoilers ahead.
What happened to the villains? We know lazul died to summon her old god, but what about the rest? George was redeemed, Rakinishu became a dragon thing, Kriziki died (I think if not she probably flew away), dragon killer guy died (I think), Eudora fled (or bailed when it went down). That's all I can remember off the top of my head so what happened to everyone else like Togwaggle, Hagatha, and Boom? Did they all die or something or did they flee like Eudora? And why did Boom do pretty much nothing the entire expansion?

Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
While they share many story threads (e.g. George's redemption) I think the two sides of the adventure are separate timelines, so yes Lazul dies in the Explorers' version of events, but she may not have done in the EVIL one. The airship battle (with or against Eudora) is a clear example where the two versions had a decidedly different outcome.
The biggest clue is that the EVIL leaders are all in Rafaam's deck when he plays against Galakrond, suggesting they are still alive and working together. That or he used the plague of undeath on them I suppose.
Depends on the storyline, it depends too.. deafeated doesn't mean they died.. for example khadgar explodes when conquering dalaran, right? ye he is still alive this expansion (and for some reason free?) so their portrait exploding doesn't mean they are killed, just defeated.
I think on the E.V.I.L side though I think every character that is defeated is indeed killed.
So depends on the storyline the hearthstone cannon chooses to continue on if they use the same characters ever again.
E.V.I.L: league of explorers are dead, so are the alliance and the horde, galakround too.
LOE: Lazul and galakround are dead.
I want to add, that HS canon is not the same as what happens in expansions/adventures. Officially it is all just stories told in the tavern, which may or may not have actually happened.
Good examples where the central part of expansions did not really happen are WotOG and KotFT, the latter showing this explicitly in the comics that came out during the hype season.
So to some extent what happened to the various characters depends on the whim of the story-teller. Hence why both EVIL and Explorers versions can be equally 'canon' despite contradicting each other.
In the little hype trailer for this adventure, Lazul basically said she saw two outcomes and it was up to us to decide since both were true. So whichever story you like better lol.
I'm curious as to what happens next?
