Answers/FAQ

Q1:Where is Ilidan now?
A1:Ilidan is located in The Black Citadel in Outlands and will become a 25man raid boss, the instance will not come with the expansion but will be patched inn later.

Q2:Can we really kill Ilidan?
A2: Well at BlizzCon the head lore designer said of Illidan: "You don't so much "kill" him as much as you sorta get in his way." Possibly indicating that when his health is depleted (or close to depleted) he may simply escape battle. so my guess is nope but we don't know before we have tried:)

Q3: Why did Kil'jaeden not kill Illidan yet?
A3:Well he can do it but it takes time and maybe hes prepearing for an attack to kill Illidan and Arthas in one go? and Illidan isn't a threat to him, so he can let Illidan live at the moment and focus on other Plans, besides he could allways have use for Illidan for his plans.
rather use Illidans forces instead of wasting his own you know.

Q4:Now that we have defeated Kel'Thuzad, what will happen with the Scourge in Azeroth?
A4:The scourge is lead by Arthas and the defeat of Kel'Thuzad don't seem to change anything when it comes to the scourge allready in Azeroth, they dont care unlkess you kill the one controling them.
on the other hand the killing of Kel'Thuzad will and do affect the thinking creatures of the scourge, Arthas will probally think twice before he sends somthing from Northenend without being proper prepeard and lead.

Q5:Do you have any indication on how and why we have to kill Kael'Thas and Lady Vashj in the Outlands?
A5: fHow? well trougth an Boss encounter i dont know the specifics yet. when it comes to why well we dont like Illidan he will kill uss we will kill him and the same for his allies, the reason why we should kill them? well the new raid instance Battle of Mount Hyjal reqiers a pre-quest to be done, an Attunment.
this quest requiers you to kill Kael'Thas and Lady Vashj.


Q5:why are people bothering going to outland?
A5:Well ofc u have the Epics but u go there to Explore and ofc to kill Evil and remove it from the place, if not u can sit at home drink your ale and dont be a hero;)

Q6:who are the good and evil dragons?
A6: well all dragon fligths work for the purpose of protecting the world etc. except the black and ofc they dont want you to come snoking into their things so they attack you on sigth, also rember people has hunted dragons for years, they dont trust people. but all except the black tend to be on the "good side"
also the Chromatic is Evil.
btw great said Yggdrasil at post #8:)

Q7Why do players get to kill Prince Kael'Thas?
A7:Read Lillium's comment #9:) also the bonds between Kael'Thas and the Blood Elfs of the Horde is not yet known. but think of what will happen when they finds out what he has done.

Q8:now arthas is the most powerfull being on Azeroth.why doesnt he leave northrend and kill all living? what does he have to fear?
A8:Well he have to fear alot of things, we killed Kel'Thuzad , also he are not friends with the burning Legion so he has alot of enemys.

Q9:Jaina Proudmoore helped Thrall in WC3:FT and so they had soem kind of peace with eachother but how come the horde can kill jaina Proudmoore in WoW i tought they had peace?
A9:Well Jaina and Thrall are friends but Horde and Alliance are not, the Horde can kill her beacuse shes not allied with the Horde nor under Thralls protection. it was close to getting peace, if only Jaina had been the leader of the Alliance. but she is not and the ones ruling dont like the horde and the horde dont like them. and who has said thrall would like it if he had known?:)

Q10:I heard the forsaken are using the horde and will betray them one day.but when when is that going to happen?shouldn't they have invented that disease that destroys all living after 2years?
A11:They are still trying to make the disease, the Forsaken had planns about it but now with blood elves joining inn and the chance of getting even more power at hand, they maybe think/know its beter to be with the horde than against everyone:)

Q11:How come that Magtheridon is alive didnt Ilidan Killed him?
A11:Illidan imprisoned Magtheridon in his own Hellfire Citadel leaving him at the mercy of his own Fel orcs.

Q12:Are Draenei immortal? From what I gather their leader Veldar is 25000 years old, so they must either live very, very long or be immortal.
A12:NO they just live loong:) like Nigth Elfs, ask Tyrnade about her age or Illidan^^

Q13:What is the most powerful Evil faction of azeroth?
A13:hehe well you have the Scourge very high in the list and then you have the Quraji's they have a temple in Northenend too wich is holding much stronger forces than AQ in Silithus. this question is extremly hard to put and answear onn but if its for todays date i would say The Burning Legion
they are many and well they are still out there in Great numbers.

Q14:the place just under silverpin froest, gilinanes i think it is called. what is the lore about that?
A14:abit to much to writee it all so http://www.wowwiki.com/Gilneas heres all info you can get atm;)

Q15:What is the Emerald Dream and who is Lady Vash and Prince Kael'thas and Magerithon?

Q16Dranei Lost ones and the ally race?
A16Sorry for remaking the question my nett %*%!ed and i cant rember it nor find it again:
anyways the ones u played in WCIII TFT are the lost ones they are just shadows of what Draneis used to be. check here for more info:http://www.wowwiki.com/Draenei

Q17Why the hell is he shown to die 3 different ways in all recorded versions of his death?
A17 Medivh WAS killed in one of the early warcraft games and in the novel "The last guardian". However what was killed was only the shell that Sargeras controlled. Once that was killed, the real Medivh manifested somehow, and took off to do what he did in WC3(Thanks Amakir :)

Q18 Q: Do you think its possible Lore-wise for the Bloodelfs and Forsaken to leave the Horde and join up one point in the future when they are both powerfull enough? The ties between the Forsaken and Bloodelfs is very high, much higher then Orcs and Forsaken or is this more for Warcraft 4 instead of World of Warcraft?
A18deffently somthing for Warcraft 4;) not somthing u put into an RPG and yes its possible Lore wise;)

Q19How, exactly, can goblins make resistable bombs?
A19well i asked a Goblin about it and he said pay me 30k gold and be goblin engeneer and il teach you...:)

Q20In TBC both horde and Alliance will head too outland, but why? what is a threat to azeroth from outland that needs to be exterminated befor all the evil in azeroth´s been defeated? and what person has opend the dark portal that been shut since the second war?
A20well the fact that Illidan migth return with an army greater than any we have seen?
or someone else with a big army...well we have the reason to conquer new lands for our race and ofc we are heros and we must kill big bosses to be remberd to be honored therfore we enter the Dark Portal....who opens it? well thats unknown maybe a world event? none knows;)

Q21:In the lore Sargaras was corrupted largly by the evil of the eradar/dreanie, and he imprisoned them in the twisting nether, however, in the dreanie backstorie, it says that sargaras corrupted some of the dreani leaders (kil´jaeden and Archimond) with the promise of great power... what is true?
A21:the truth is that he Tricked 2 of the 3 draenei leaders to help him and the last one escaped and crash landed on Azeroth;)
