During the Burning Legion's invasion of Ashenvale, Illidan absorbed the energy of a powerful warlock artifact called the "Skull of Gul'dan" and transformed into a demon with demonic appearance and powerful strength. The creature also gained some of Gul'dan's memories, specifically regarding the Tomb of Sargeras.
Then he met Kil'jaeden. The demon realized that his masterpiece, the Lich King, had become too powerful to control, and ordered Illidan to end Ner'zhul and eliminate the undead Scourge forever. strength. As a condition of the deal, Illidan would receive immense power and a position as the leader of the Burning Legion.
Illidan agreed to the plan and immediately began preparations to destroy the Frozen Throne, where the Lich King's soul was imprisoned. He needed a powerful artifact, so he summoned Naga from the dark deep sea lair to find the Broken Island where the legendary Tomb of Sargeras is located.
At the same time, Warden Maiev Shadowsong also began to hunt for him, but failed. Illidan successfully stole the Eye of Sargeras and came to Dalaran. Using the power of the energy devices in the city, he cast a devastating spell that shattered the Lich King's defenses and split the Spine of the World, but at the last moment Malfurion was rushed to support Maiev. and Priestess Tyrande.
In order to escape Kil'jaeden's punishment for his failure, Illidan fled to Outland, deciding to take shelter here and plan his next move. After successfully stopping Illidan, Malfurion and Tyrande returned home to Ashenvale to care for their people. However, Maiev did not intend to give up. She followed Illidan to Outland, determined to take him back to face justice.
Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas have completely turned into poisonous plague lands. Only small pockets of Alliance resistance still lingered there. One of these organizations is composed mainly of high elves and is led by Prince Kael'thas, the last member of the Sunstrider dynasty.
The high elves were very sad about the fall of their homeland. In order to pay respect to their dead compatriots, they renamed themselves blood elves. They suffered greatly from leaving the Sunwell, their source of power. Seeking to quench his men's innate thirst for magic, Kael accepted the offer of aid from their high elf ancestors and joined Illidan and his Naga forces.
This move caused the blood elves to be condemned as traitors by the remaining Alliance leaders and banished forever. In desperation, Kael and his blood elves had no choice but to follow Illidan to the Outlands to help him deal with the warden Maiev. Maiev originally captured Illidan, but was defeated by the blood elves and Nagas, and Illidan was re-liberated.
Because there were gaps in his defense, the Lich King Ner'zhul was losing strength day by day. Eager to protect himself, he summoned his powerful subordinate Death Knight Arthas to his side. Because Arthas' power was gradually draining away as the Lich King weakened, the banshee Sylvanas Windrunner led half of the undead army to launch a coup in an attempt to overthrow Arthas' rule.
Eventually she and her undead rebels (the Forsaken) took the ruins of Lordaeron's capital for themselves. Alsace, whose strength was weakened, still decided to rescue his master. When he arrived in Northrend, he found that Illidan's blood elves and naga had already arrived there before him. As a result, Arthas and his Scourge had to compete with Illidan's forces for time.
With the Lich King giving all his power to Arthas, Arthas finally defeated Illidan and reached the Frozen Throne first. He used Frostmourne to shatter the ice prison imprisoning the Lich King, put a helmet with Ner'zhul's power on his head, and became the new Lich King. Illidan and his army were forced to flee in disgrace back to Outland.
