weapon
The weapon used by demon hunters is called the blade. Illidan's weapon was obtained from a demon named [Achilles] during the first invasion of the Burning Legion.
As a demon hunter, part of the inauguration ceremony includes a little adventure. A novice who wants to be a demon hunter must find a current demon hunter to guide him or her through a series of complicated processes.
Magic ceremony. Part of the ceremony involves finding a specific demon and offering it as a sacrifice. This can bind part of its soul to the novice demon hunter. Then,
In order to accommodate the devil's soul, a person who will become a demon hunter must burn his eyes with a burning magic blade. Fortunately, however, in the process of becoming a demon hunter,
Because of the given strength, damaging their eyes will not make them really blind, and they can still perceive the world around them. Compared with ordinary vision, although there are some limitations, but
It will also bring additional benefits.
When you become a demon hunter, your appearance will be affected. Specifically, when someone becomes a demon hunter for the first time, his skin will turn pale and lose color. However, then the devil came.
Hunter's skin will get a light blue hue, and as time goes on, the skin will begin to become tough, thus giving them natural armor. Eventually, the demon hunter's skin will appear dark purple.
As a lifelong opponent of Arthas, illidan stormrage also has an unfortunate fate. Not only that, he was accused of being a traitor. This former night elf and demon hunter has a chance to become a hero in the clan. However, his life was full of twists and turns because of fate and his own choice.
Early Illidan was once a member of the upper elves, studying and studying the magic and energy contained in well of eternity. However, after discovering that the upper elves were so addicted to the study of magic that they gradually degenerated, he resolutely left the group of the upper elves and returned to his brother, malfurion stormrage, the great druid of the night elves. But his pursuit of powerful magic never stopped.
Malfurion believed Illidan, although he knew his brother's persistent pursuit of magic. Moreover, under the circumstances at that time, he urgently needed an assistant to deal with the fallen elves, and there were not many choices. Thus, an "anti-government" core leading group composed of three elves appeared: the great druid Malfurion, the lover of the demon hunter Illidan and Malfurion, and sacrificed to the moon goddess in Tyrande. Brothers and lovers, it seems that Malfurion's team is so indestructible. However, the rock-solid combination outside hides a huge dark mark-Illidan also loves his brother's lover deeply.
It can be said that Illidan never liked his brother. Malfurion is a representative of the druid class and conservatives in the night elves. He only admired the ancient druidism and her energy, and refused to accept new and unfamiliar forces. Therefore, Malfurion always doubted the energy contained in well of eternity. Malfurion is even more disgusted with the upper-class elves who advocate developing well of eternity's energy. Illidan, on the other hand, chose to join the Elves and get energy from "well of eternity", which also shows the great difference in ideas between the two brothers.
So why did Illidan deviate from his brother's wishes? In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you can find the clue. As the younger brother of the great druid, Illidan lived in the shadow of his elder brother for a long time. With a strong nature, he always hopes to have the opportunity to catch up with or even surpass his brother and prove his value. However, if you choose the road of Druidism, it will be difficult for Illidan to reach his brother's level in terms of personal strength and social status, and he may never realize his ambition. Therefore, regardless of Malfurion's opposition, he chose the more dangerous but more opportunities magic practice as his development direction. But this decision also caused an irreparable rift between the two brothers.
Later, Illidan chose to quit the upper elves, on the one hand because of his dissatisfaction with the depravity of the upper elves, and more importantly, because of Tyrande. Perhaps at this time, Illidan's idea is as simple as that-he can have more opportunities to be with the person he loves, even if he just looks at her silently. Friends who have had typing experience must feel the same way.
After returning to his brother, Illidan got the care and care of Tyrande. Although the body has been very dependent on magic, with the encouragement of Tyrande, Illidan got spiritual support and had the power to restrain his strong desire for magic. This should be one of the few wonderful moments in Illidan's life. But the cruel reality makes this beautiful time so short.
Tyrande certainly knew Illidan's feelings for her. But she still refused the love of the demon hunter and chose Malfurion. We don't know the reason for this decision. Maybe Tyrande never loved Illidan and cared about him only because he was Malfurion's brother. Perhaps Tyrande felt Illidan's strong desire for magic, which made her feel afraid; Perhaps Tyrande thought Illidan's love for her was another manifestation of Illidan's competition with Malfurion. ...
To quote Tyrande himself, that is: "Being strong in the air can't prove myself, which is why I chose your brother instead of you". In a word, Tyrande played cards to Illidan, which completely shattered the last reason in Illidan's heart. This incident also turned Illidan's jealousy and resistance to his brother into terrible hatred. He made up his mind to take revenge and waited for the opportunity to appear.
Soon, Illidan waited for this opportunity: Malfurion was shocked and panicked when he learned that the upper elves had completely fallen and prepared to use the energy of "well of eternity" to open the dimensional door to Azeroth for the demon king Sargeras. He knows very well that once the dimension gate is opened, the demons of the Burning Legion will flood into the world of Azeroth and completely destroy it. So he decided to stop the top elves from carrying out their plan at all costs and completely destroy well of eternity.
Illidan, who is very dependent on well of eternity, has lost the ability to control his desires. Hatred and loss blinded him. Therefore, he was determined to sabotage Malfurion's actions, on the one hand to avenge his brother, and on the other hand to protect "well of eternity". Later, he revealed Malfurion's intentions to the upper elves. This also marks the official departure of Illidan from his brother and his own path.
Because of Illidan's accusation, the subversive actions organized by Malfurion and his followers almost failed. When Malfurion led the druids to "well of eternity", the upper elves had laid an ambush and made preparations. The whole covert operation eventually turned into a massacre. Although the druids were lucky enough to destroy well of eternity and stop Sargeras' invasion, Malfurion was deeply saddened by the heavy casualties. Illidan's sudden disappearance made him realize that the traitor was his brother, which made him even more sad. He vowed to make his brother pay a heavy price.
"well of eternity" was destroyed, but its great power was unexpected by the druids-Kalimdor fell apart in the explosion and a large area of land sank to the bottom of the sea. Despite the heavy price, Malfurion succeeded in stopping Sargeras' invasion. To Malfurion's delight, many upper-class elves were swept into the seabed by the huge vortex generated by the explosion, and the original ruling class of the night elves fell apart. Malfurion, the savior of this country, naturally stepped onto the front desk and became the new leader of the night elves. With the re-establishment of the Druidism regime, the status of Druidism in society reached its highest point in history.
However, Malfurion seemed to ignore Illidan's existence. His younger brother stole a bottle of "well of eternity" holy water as early as the scuffle between the upper elves and the druids, and poured it into a lake near Mount Hyjal. Holy water instantly filled the lake with magic, so a new well of eternity was born in Illidan's hands.
When the night elves came to Mount Hyjal, they were surprised to find the existence of a new "well of eternity". When Malfurion saw everything in front of him, he immediately realized that his brother still existed in this world. He was very angry and mobilized all the elves to find Illidan and catch him. Malfurion generously gave Illidan a chance to turn over a new leaf, but how could the stubborn Illidan give in to his brother? Malfurion could naturally kill his own brother, so Illidan was imprisoned in an underground prison and would never see the light of day. It is not difficult to imagine that the only thing that can aggravate the life of such a prisoner is the endless hatred in Illidan's heart.
In this way, 10,000 years have passed ... During the 10,000 years, the upper-class elves who originally set foot on the bottom of the sea suddenly changed their bodies because of the influence of the explosion and long-term underwater life, and became the new Naga family. After such a long period of dormancy, they chose Illidan.
Illidan finally ended his nearly ten thousand years as a dungeon prisoner during the invasion of Grey Valley by the Burning Legion. It was Tyrande who let him go. Perhaps in this 10,000-year imprisonment, Illidan's disguise confused his companions and made Tyrande think that this 10,000-year punishment was enough.
Perhaps out of pity and judgment of the situation, Tyrande believes that the Burning Legion is the current enemy, and the release of Illidan may increase the power of checks and balances in the world.
The real reason may never be known.
But what we do know is that Illidan, who has been bound in the dark for nearly ten thousand years and suffered from mental torture, is not what he used to be-he has no pity, no faith, doesn't know what love is, and refuses to believe anyone or anything.
In these ten thousand years, Illidan has been reflecting on his first half of life. He found that the reason for today's situation is that he is not strong enough. As a result, he strengthened his determination to pursue strength. Especially after he got the "skull of Gourdain" and part of Gourdain's memory, two souls who were desperate for power merged together. Since then, his life has only one meaning-the endless pursuit of strength.
At this time, it coincided with the second defeat of the Burning Legion. Not only did they fail to achieve their combat intention, but even Archimonde, the commander and the third person of the Burning Legion, was blown to ashes under the tree of the world. While the Burning Legion was weakened, there were also many internal problems. Sargeras' right-hand man, a strategist-level figure, Kilgardan found that the Natural Disaster Corps led by Naiozu was gradually out of his control and was on the verge of betrayal. This made Kilgardan very worried, and he was determined to find a useful person to get rid of Naiozu. And this man is Illidan.
Kilgardan, who liked it, gave Illidan a generous offer that was hard to refuse-giving him great strength. Thus, Illidan led the Naga people to the Burning Legion, and completely went to depravity. After that, while avoiding the pursuit of the prison guard Maiwei (the hero watchman in WAR3: The Throne of Ice), he searched for Naiozu's hiding place. Finally, he met Arthas, the most powerful opponent in his life, in front of the Ice Throne. Neruzu's most loyal servant fought Illidan at his peak and narrowly defeated Illidan. Whether Illidan, cut by Frostmourne, is alive or dead has also become a mystery that everyone pays attention to.
Illidan's life has many similarities with Alsace's: both of them were born in noble families; Everyone has a high talent and becomes an extremely powerful figure; They all signed an agreement with the devil in pursuit of power; Has completed the integration with the powerful soul; Both of them betrayed their country or nation ... but their experiences and endings are quite different. Compared with Alsace, Illidan's life was more bumpy. Illidan never got rid of his brother's shadow, although he made a lot of noise in the Stormrage family. Although he made great efforts, he was always a failure in his career and love. Such a huge contrast will naturally distort Illidan's character. Too eager to catch up with his brother, he gradually lost and degenerated because of his inner desire. Looking back on his performance before he was detained, it is difficult for us to judge whether this man is evil: being separated from the upper elves can show that he is a man with a clear distinction between right and wrong. Preventing Malfurion from destroying "well of eternity" is only an episode in the power struggle between the two factions of the night elves and cannot be condemned as evil. Selling his soul to Kilgardan is indeed a sign of his depravity. But by contrast, how many people, like Illidan, gave up their principles in pursuit of success? For a man who has been imprisoned by his brother for 10 thousand years and wants to gain strength and prove himself, all the decisions are understandable.
