It was hard as heck but I did manage to get all the way to the Nihilam Portal with just the initial 4 Siphoned moon guard soldiers and 1 ability (Lots of kiting and running around and using Red & Jarod as bait/tanks for me to open the Moon Guard portals & dying occurred!). A hero if yet not with entirely heroic motivations.Ĭomment by DimmieDunceSo unrelated note, while I was doing this entire scenario I really didn't want to siphon any of the moonguard for additional power. That's not to say he didn't intentionally play a significant role in thwarting the demons though for all his carelessness he was always against them. I'd check but the books are thick ) the point is, Illidan was more concerned with personal glory (and impressing Tyrande) than saving the world.

This might have been what triggered Illidan to head to the palace, as evidently his great destiny (implied by his golden eyes) wasn't to lead the Moon Guard in battle. Either way, eventually Rhonin was tasked with leading them instead as he could manage that job much more responsibly. Illidan was indeed taxing the Moon Guard magi in battles by demanding too much of them, but I don't recall reading that he actually killed any of them in the process. The War of the Ancients Illidan was mildly obsessed with glory (and Tyrande) and certainly wasn't making these "grim but necessary" decisions - which for that matter, a commander of Ravencrest's caliber should have understood and condoned.
