Defense of Felwood

Illidan is often portrayed as a villain for using demonic magic against the Burning Legion. In "Defense of Felwood" players have the choice of whether they want to use demonic magic when fighting the Burning Legion or adhere to Night Elf principles prohibiting the use of demonic magic. "In his youth, he attempted to master the druidic forces, as his brother had, but the sorcery called to him in a way that the magic of the land did not. Unlike his brother, Illidan was born with amber eyes, at the time a sign of a great destiny — however, this actually indicated inherent druidic potential" (The Warcraft Encyclopedia). "When Archimonde's invasion of Azeroth had begun, Illidan sought to end it. He plotted the destruction of the Well of Eternity. He increasingly admired the powers of the Burning Legion, seeing a magical purity that underlay their chaotic behavior. Where the night elves struggled to maintain their ground, the Burning Legion's numbers did not seem to permanently diminish" (Ravencrest, Ink-splattered Page).
