What were Illidan’s plans? In the latest World of Warcraft cinematic, the traitor reveals what he had planned in the shattered world.
Bringing the fight to the demons
To adequately prepare players for World of Warcraft: Legion, Blizzard is continually releasing new details about the backstory. Now, the third part of the animated series “Harbingers” has been released and focuses on the demon hunter Illidan, branded a traitor.
The video takes place during Illidan’s time in the shattered world, just before the heroes launch an attack on the Black Temple. Illidan has transformed the wretched elves around him and makes demon hunters out of them – the Illidari. Together with his new followers, he is tired of constantly fleeing from the Burning Legion.
He brings war to their worlds and begins an assault on the fortress of the pit lord Azgoth. But he poses serious questions: Are the Illidari not sacrificing too much to be demon hunters? Have they not become more demon than elf? Are the Illidari ultimately nothing more than the perfect servants of the Legion, increasingly corrupted by fel magic?
Anyone who wants to step into the shoes of a demon hunter starting August 10 should definitely watch this short video, as the story in the game references several incidents from the clip.
