    I slowly realized that almost the entire history of Warcraft and the saving of Azeroth happened because Tyrande turned Illidan down as a teenager.

    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.

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

    All I am saying is Illidan wouldn't have let Sylvannas burn down the tree.... unlike some sleepy boys

    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 🫶🏼
