    Guys guys please vote this up so others can see it too I know I'm gonna get grey but well I'm gonna post this information anyway.

    Arcane magic if reckless used and widely used drags the attention of demons from the twisting nether.

    Illidan saved a bit of the sunwell and made a new one. The consequences of that is that the habitants of Azeroth could still use arcane magic if they had the knowledge. However at that time it was almost only the night elves who were able to use arcane magic and they were forbidden to do so. But 7300 years before the first orcs came to Azeroth the former highborne led by Dath'Remar Sunstrider unleashed a terrible storm on Ashenvale just to show that there magic was superior and they were not gonna obey the law of some druids.

    Now quoting from wowwiki.com:

    The druids could not bring themselves to put so many of their kin to death, so they decided to exile the reckless Highborne from their lands. Sunstrider and his followers boarded a number of specially crafted ships and set sail upon the seas. By now the Highborne were glad to be rid of their conservative cousins and free to practice the arcane with impunity.

    But they encountered problems, they founded their capital city Silvermoon in a sacred Forest Troll area and they suffered heavy losses against the trolls. They made a deal with the humans that if they helped they would teach 100 of them how to use arcane magic. In a huge battle together with the humans and their 100 human mages they managed to win a big victory and the trolls were pushed back and has to this day not recovered.

    But unfortunatly the humans were not so carefull with there arcane magic use and soon dragged the attention of the Burning Legion. This led eventually to the invasion of the orcs, the invasion of the Scourge and the return of Sargeras himself and his demon minions.

    So Illidan is not that innocent. He is indirect responsible for:
    The First War (Warcraft I)
    The Second War (Warcraft II)
    The Third War (Warcraft III)

    But I still think it's sad that Blizzard made the most popular character in wow lore a raidboss that only 0.01 % of the wow players has acces to.

    He also has done some evil things in Outland after WC3 TFT but that does not count because the BC lore is entirely screwed up.

      If the humans or (other races for that matter) would not have used more arcane magic the demons would not be able to open a portal to Azeroth no matter how angry they were.

        nice story indeed!
          but he still must be downed regardless to what he is ,for the 1 simple reason=  FAT LOOT.
        hehehehehe
        yeah kill illidan and loot your TR6 or the sowrds then come and talk about how inoccent he may be.
        as a Night elf druid i feel not at all betrayed by him ,and wish there was a way to join him aginst the burning legion and the sgaras .but there is not.
        but then again what he drops makesfor it.
        ps. i think the one i  have fun downing is archimonde,for destroying the city and more.


        This post is faded because it has a negative score.

      Uhhh...yaaaaaaaaa no. Illidan doing all that did NOT make him responsible for the orcs. The orcs were on a WHOLE different world before they came to Azeroth. And they could actually use arcane magic without the Well. The Well simply HELPED. Don't you wonder why people can use arcane magic in WoW, yet there aren't any Wells? Unless you count the Sunwell, which is btw DEFILED and the Maelstrom, and thats well...the Maelstrom...and remaining quel'dorei making a giant storm over Ashenvale has nearly nothing to do with the Well of Eternity, save that they didn't want the night elves turning it into a giant tree.

      just to clarify how the overuse of magic led to the first orc invasion, by overusing magic humans brought the burning legion, led by Sargeras, to azeroth.

      in order to fight the demons the Order of Tirisfal (a select group of powerful mages) created "The Guardian", a sigle being, chosen and imbued with imence power, and the guardian was charged with fighting the legion in a secret war.

      this went on for thousands of years, untill the guardian Aegwynn, she was the one who fought the great Sargeras and she defeted him, at least his physical form, Sargeras hid his soul within Aegwynns' womb. Aegwynn then took sargeras' body and locked it within one of the ancient elven temples (lost in the sea due to the sundering of the world) and enchanted it so that no demon or being of azeroth could retrieve it

      she used her powers to live for about 800 years, eventually the order demanded that she pass her power on, she refused to be controlled by the order, so in a last act of defiance, she seduces one mage known as Nielas Aran and conceived a child, who would be the last guardian

      unfortuantly that child, one High Magus Medivh, was overshadowed by the soul of sargeras, thus making the most powerful being in the world also the most evil. medivh hatched a plan to retrieve the body of sargeras, and he found a being that the enchantment protecting it did not effect, the orc. so medivh built the dark portals and convinced the warloc Gul' dan to lead the orcs through to destroy the humans and eventually retrieve the body.

      but, soon after the portals opened, medivhs plan was found out by his apprentice, Khadgar, khadgar had to kill medivh, reliesing both souls inside his body, the real medivh returned and is probably not evil anymore (lets hope).

      so illy is barely responsible, id put the blame on sargeras

      (p.s. i play on the server Medivh, first server to open AQ, eat it every1 else)
