Its tough to be turned down!Think she just wanted a little more of "her" space knowing Malfurion would be gone most of the time and Illidan would be there ALL the time!
Illidan is my favorite character in WoW. Taking the dark path, knowing this is the dark path, in order to do the impossible and save the world regardless of the sacrifices. The fact he rejected the Light is basically admiting that he doesnt deserve redemption. He knows many of the things he did were wrong, but also necesary and he accepted it and took fate into his own hands. And that is what facinates me about him. How he took fate into his own hands. Despite Sargeras, the Light and the Void, illidan was in the end, his own man.
The best way to describe the love triangle in the War of the Ancients trilogy. Illidan: I love Tyrande. Tyrande: I love Malfurion. Malfurion: I love trees. And I love Tyrande.
I had sniffed Sargeras stone in powder , and its so cool man ! Khadgar : Ok dude, let me saw that ... Oooh yes, its a bomb ! Illidan : Nasal bomb ! (sorry for that, but its soo tempting)
I personally don't think his story is over. He's too popular a character to end off like that, and with the prophecy, and knowing the next expansion is going to deal mostly with the void, there is still a chance the prophecy could be true.
Your talent of storytelling is absolutely incredible. The editing and atmosphere you create is one of a kind Thank you so much for providing such quality content man.
I actually loved the scene when Illidan rejected the light and destroyed Xe'ra. It tells me that he is his own person and that he does not rely on, nor believe in prophecies. He made many mistakes and he does what he can to move forward.
Maiev Shadowsong: Why do you trust Illidan more than you trust me? He's killed our own people and he's worked with the Burning Legion! Malfurion: Because, Illidan has never lied to me. Maiev Shadowsong:
He gets viewed as a monster because he was a monster. Good intentions or not. Just play the his storyline in Legion to watch him slaughter his fellow nelfs so they would not get killed by demons... shrugs. He is a legendary npc and one of the most iconic npcs. He is NOT a GOOD one. Never been.
I would like to see a return from Illidan and an update on Sargeras with the world soul saga and the return of the titans, as well as whatever iridikron is up to in the void I think if they keep their story telling promises with the new expansions we will see some cool conclusions to the story from Legion :D
The illidan story points so many thing in the warcraft lore. If you are wanted to deep down into it. You can start with illidan story. Watch this video and search that you dont know much more about it and complete the pieces the puzzle. This video can be the board of main story of warcraft.
Legion was such a fantastic expansion, I miss it so much. So very rich with lore and riddled with characters we loved. It's sad to see the legion story finally over... The story ended there for me.
Born with - Mafurion later got them golden eyes through: "While Malfurion was born with silver eyes, unlike his brother Illidan who had golden eyes signifying strong druidic potential, his eyes eventually acquired a golden incandescence, as his "wholehearted dedication" to the noble path of Cenarius gave him a power and skill far beyond most druids."
What aoways struck me as odd in Illidans story, is how Tyrande just straight up axed two of his guards to set him free and nobody gives a fuck. Like she can just kill people and it's okay?
@@khebre6032 No, I'm talking about how Tyrande killed the two guards responsible for Illidan, while Maiev was absent. And how there were no consequences whatsoever
@@eggbeater55 im kinda confused considering I don't play WoW and didn't finish this video either, but i don't remember Tyrande killing only two Watchers(Maiev's Prison Guards) there were alot she killed however Maiev kinda wanted to leave Tyrande to her death which she was saved by Furion and Illidan, and later in WoW Maiev Forgives her
@@khebre6032 I'm referring specifically to when Tyrande releases Illidan to get hos help to fight against the demons. There she kills the two wardens, who are guarding Illidan. I think Maiev leaving Tyrande to her fate later on is more due to Maievs obsession with Illidan, and not as a punishment for the slaying of tje guards
"The Circle Is Now Complete." at the end of the Illidan quest haunts me. I cant help but think that's a reference to Starwars epic line and Illidan is going to live up to his name as The Betrayer.
I have to admit I never really liked the character much, until the rejection of the gift. He was shown to be really badass. Hopefully Malfurion ingame gets the same treatment, he was great in the trailer (terror of darkshore) but a bit of a (sleeping) non entity ingame.
Imagine if we come across an Illidan sized hole in the ground later in the War Within just to see Illidan standing over a large cliff wings spread and screamed, "I was evicted. Can I stay at your home for a while?" 😅
I’ve always said as a new player that I’d love to watch updated lore stories for my favorite characters yet it’s so difficult sometimes. Thank you so much for these and I look forward to the ones you do next 🫶🏼
Does anyone know what the name of the song when illidan says hes staying Because the hunter is nothing without the hunt? I dont think its in the legion soundtrack
This was fun! I did not play past Panda land so was cool to see what has happened since. Saying NO to being reshaped was sooo Illidan. Glad they did a redemption arc for him. Not that he really needed one for he was the unsung Hero. Sargarus could use a redemption arc.
Hello @Nobbel87, I'm Brazilian and I really like your videos. I wonder if you could make a video about WoW "sub-classes". If I could start with the Night Elves, it would be great (druid of the claw, huntress, archer,...). Congratulations for your work!
Illidan is forever my favorite warcraft character. And I will never forgive Blizzard for having Arthas, a weakened regular human beat him, After he got the skull of Gul'Dan making him practically a demi god. Illidan should have destroyed him within a blink of an eye. I'll never get over this horrible decision. Like Mike Tyson fighting an infant, and the infant wins? Sure....
2:23:12 those lines hit hard. Even after all the good that illidan has done for his people and Azeroth, malfurion and tyrande still are not able to accept him as a hero and a champion. That’s an L to both of them.
i kind of have to laugh at the lore sometimes because it tries so hard to say illidan was a dick to his brother but most every interaction between the two we have seen is malfurion being a bigger dick than illidan.
it is funny that thanks to Lord Illadin the Night elfs got all of these blessings but what do they do emprison him. And branding him the Betrayer. But he is their savor
Illidan is the perfect excample for: "the opposite of doing good, is meaning well" Dont get me wrong Illidan is one of the best characters in Warcrafts history, but fcking hell is he a bloody psychopath
Yes this is some of the final quests you do o nthe vindikar. It is part of illidand back story on when the first time he used fel energy to save us. He was the leader of an army that was getting smoked and he would sacrifice earth group of 5s ley energy to make himself stronger. Really cool backstory
That's from the Lights heart questline currently given by Khadgar in Legion dalaran. Don't know if there's any pre requirements, but this is the quest: A falling star www.wowhead.com/quest=44009/a-falling-star
But it has changed illidan, two things define illidan’s character before, the lust for power and the love for tyrande, neither were really shown during that new story, now it’s about freedom and destiny? He again and again chose to be addicted and bond to power and magic, and someone made a good point it wasn’t even for his people, because if tyrande were to actually went dark and decided to go against the nightelfs instead, we can see illidan’s choice would be helping her
FYI, unless Ronan is Puerto Rican there’s no reason to roll the R’s. Every time you roll the R’s it breaks the whole feel and atmosphere of the story and pulls us all back into high school Spanish class. Other than that, you did an amazing job of presenting the lore. Kudos! ❤
I never understood why illidan keeps getting whitewashed and redeem when he made conscious choices, but arthus must be condemned and call bad guys by everyone when he was tricked and deceived into losing his soul and Conscience
I know he's a fan favorite and all, but him saying "you are not prepared" pretty much everytime the player finds him is a bit excessive. Imagine if everytime arthas showed up you just heard "..the very forests of lordaeron whispered...Arthas..." Still think Illidan is interesting though and love the lore videos.
I slowly realized that almost the entire history of Warcraft and the saving of Azeroth happened because Tyrande turned Illidan down as a teenager.

Have you been shamed by society too?
Illidan: I AM MY SCARS!!
Me: Oscar worthy acting.
This cutscene gave me goosebumps and does so everytime I watch it.
@@k3ndo751 I think it's the best cutscene in the game so far.
Me: Be careful not to cut yourself on that edge.
In Warcraft, Illidan is known as the Betrayer.
In IRL, Illidan is one of... if not the most popular character in the Warcraft franchise.
There's no way Arthas is not the first.
@@DavidPachón8591id say he’s on par with arthas at this point or at least just as influential
@@thefarklenator4518 yeah, at least the second for sure.

Illidan - Make the most of it.
Had a brief Maiev moment there
"Do what you do best, and follow me."
Flexes in Maiev so hard.
If Illidan had stayed on Azeroth in Legion, then he would've hunted down and executed Sylvanas for Tyrande.

agree
I personally don't think his story is over. He's too popular a character to end off like that, and with the prophecy, and knowing the next expansion is going to deal mostly with the void, there is still a chance the prophecy could be true.
Every time Ilidan was involved, it was a good expansion!
Love this. I’ve watched the previous one so many times. I can’t wait to watch this over and over again.
Your talent of storytelling is absolutely incredible. The editing and atmosphere you create is one of a kind
Thank you so much for providing such quality content man.
Love that you made a second lore of illidan stormrage
Illidan has always been my favourite character in Warcraft. It is fate that Legion made me start playing WoW and of course when I could, played a DH.
Been listening to these lore stories to fall asleep to and it has been a blessing❤
Guy literally just nuked a Naru, and Turalyon thinks he can do something with a sword.😅😅
Made him bleed his own blood though
Paladins man 🤡
I love the flavor text in the closed captioning. It's great for both screen readers and cheeky commentary.
Finally, Lord Illidan… I am prepared! 🤘🔥
Me too.
thank you so much for these updated lore videos!!!!
Thank you for making these videos!!!
Illidan is known as the Betrayer, when in reality... he's the one who gets betrayed. A lot.
Wonderful video! Illidan was always amazing, great job showing a true lore dive
Illidan deserves to be happy. To be loved.
Illidan x Maiev is the ship we need.
I'd give him all the love in the world 🥺
Illidan x hv97 is the ship we need! ❤
Given how long it's been since I've watched your early parts of Illidan's story. I'll gladly watch this! Thanks, Nobbel87!

Malfurion: Because, Illidan has never lied to me.
Maiev Shadowsong:
HA [mic drop]
Amazing work ;-)
Thank you for this history. Well done.
So in reality, he's actually a flawed hero who had the best intentions for everyone but as always... gets viewed as a monster.
That's a retcon.

I wished that Malfurion and Tyrande reunited with Illidan in Legion, one last time.
I just hate when you pass on his messages to them, they refuse to forgive him and still talk smack. Made me really dislike both

So many fucking commemts
I hope we get to see him again soon 🖤
and now illidan will make a return to the story in the last titan expansion along with sargeras and the video must be updated again.......

30:35 little did we know, 20 years later, that ability would define a game mode that didnt even exist yet.... mythic+

😮😢
Thats what they gonna do probably. They need to turn him into some kind of void Paladin.
Ain't nobody more self-righteous than the Naaru.
If Illidan stayed on Azeroth, there wouldn't be no Horde left. Because Illidan would've massacred them.
Illidan‘s example teaches us how destructive simping can be

'While Turalyon (like Xe'ra) is in pieces'
