I wonder, how in your opinion did Illidan's and Khadgar's relationship started?

Hi anon!!! Thank you for askin, it will be fun to dive into my mind of 5 years ago and recall all the stuff :'D (It can go out of control…)

(IT DID went out of control, so I'm throwin it under the cut 😂) There may be typos or mistakes, haven't checked and lazy.

I think I should start with character's reasons to be interested in eachother. Like, beside from "we happened to be in the same place doing the same thing (fighting Legion)", a more specific moments from the both sides.

Khadgar's side: 1) He was glad to get one more ally who is really passionate to fight Legion. Of course, Legion was everyone's business at a moment, and there were a lot of powerful allies. And Illidan is well - pretty controversial person. But at this moment Khadgar was really exhausted, and still was questioning a lot his Guardian role (even if it was only nominal), and Illidan was realy personal with Legion. So he was mostly glad someone else wanted to take the main role (while there also were moments of regret xD)

2) That's a curious magic nerd Khadgar. And an ancient demon-elf. Of course he wants to ask something, even if he knows even more ancient creatures. While not using it himself, he would enjoy to listen about dark ways of magic or something.

3) Illidari. He was unsure at first, but in the end enjoyed 'babysitting' them. Even when Illidan is back, he still cares about them and asks if they need something, or just comes to chit-chat. He is also curious to know especially about the bond of Illidari and their Master, from the both sides.

Illidan's side: 1) That's a magic nerd Illidan (in other ways, but still here we are). And a human mage wielding a great power AND having mark of Sargeras left on his aura. Of course Illidan is curious about it. And he wants it - in a greedy demonic way he holds back, so he is just going with decent conversation.

2) Khadgar is an ally you better to team up with. Of course Illidan Stormrage is mighty and powerful, but he still lives in society 😂 Azeroth changed a lot since he went to Outland, the ruling power is different now. Illidan came back to life, but he's still a war criminal, and many ppl want him dead or in prison again. Of cooourse they need him to fight Legion, but if the war is over succesfully, who will speak for him and Illidari? Oh, maybe it will be Khadgar, who is suddenly non-hostile (while he have all the rights to be after Outland?) Let's keep it as an option. Illidari say too that he's really cool ally.

3) Some really far-fetched stuff, but Illidan pays attention to details. Back in the WotA he was trained by Rhonin and fought along Kur'talos Ravencrest, and so he makes a remark about Khadgar and his raven form. Even if Illidan chooses his way himself (tm), sometimes he still thinks about the promised Fate of his, and wonders if it is in a things repeating. (That's just me bringin all the lore bits to one pile, I love it. Khadgar also was in a Black Temple. Mind it)

Both sides: sharing the feeling of a "missed time". One literally spent hella majority of his life in isolation, and the other turned into oldman in his 17 (or 19? damn i always confuse those numbers). I think it works kinda equal for them, and they went "oooh, you understand?"

Events

Sooo in my vision, Khadgar already had some opinion about Illidan and things to ask him, and Illidan was fine with speaking to him aside from Illidari to know more about events happened in the world. I think before Brokenshore campaign started, they had a few personal and group meetings, and found out that they share something in common while having different tempers.

When the campaign began, things went… complicated xD They started to find out their differences, and always were loud discussing it and their disagreement. Sometimes they started with disagreement and finished with agreement, keeping it with a passive agression :Д Were they mad? They had fun! Mostly. I think both enjoyed a 'look i'm having a dispute with this important dude'

But besides from discussing strategy and other serious stuff, they still had a moments of discussions of magic and past events (unless they were too personal). Khadgar shared stuff with him, from food and drinks to artifacts and books, and enjoyed watching how Illidan interacts with it. Sometimes amazed. And often endeared. There was actions from Illidan's side as well, but he mostly did it via Illidari (not like he was ashamed, just really busy). And they mostly said "yeeeeah this is from Lord Illidan!"

Eventually Khadgar fell in love and WAS TERRIFIED. He spent a lot of time figuring out what he really feels. When he came to conclusion, he thought a lot if he should confess, coz it's fkin Illidan Stormrage. It felt so crazy, but Khadgar decided that his life is going crazy for a while, and he decided to try. I can see Khadgar as a person who isn't going love crazy right away. He feels something buzzing, a certain kind of interest, but it's not a "omg this is the one and only person in my life" untill they go mutual. He, of course, will be sad if Illidan rejects him, and it will take some time to recover, but he isn't going to keep it forever.

And so he decided to confess. He purposely have chosen a short peacefull moment before some big battle in case if the things go awkward or even bad, so they both have an excuse to leave.

Now coming back to Illidan and what he felt. Ngl he's a complicated char if you want to go thoughtful with him. But I think during this time he became a little sympathetic with Khadgar. Found him special in one ways and annoying in others, but def considered him and ally and maybe even a friend, while he wasn't going to admit it outloud.

Still, the confession made him baffled (even if he suspected it a bit). If it was someone else, he would just say "lol no" and leaved. But he was really curious about Khadgar's reasons and what the actual fuck. He couldn't say he felt something even similar to love, but also didn't went with just a "no". He said that Khadgar is probably mistaken, or just don't realize that he isn't the type to build a 'true lovestory' with and live happily ever after. He is a demon and his passion is already going on hating Legion, so don't you expect a romantic fairytale. Khadgar said that he pretty aware of all of this, he isn't going to fix Illidan, or cure his scars, or bring him into typical lovey-dovey routine. "How about we just find our own way?"

You see, Illidan says "yes" in any case, but I can see it going in different ways: - First is a direct "yes", but not in a "i want to be with you" way. It's a "You know what, I will be with you, and I'm curious how you gonna handle it". Being baffled at first, he is now going into offence and declares "If you want a challenge, I'm giving it to you". Not love - a challenge. The challenge isn't about Illidan being a demon/ancient/edgy person. It's about the fact Illidan knows zero shit about romance and he's goin to explore it and experiment af (of course he didn't said it literally, but he implied). He is going to be unbearable. And he enjoys how Khadgar reacts - confused and happy and non-believing and terrified. He's goin to love it. - Second is Illidan taking a time to think, and they talk once more after the battle was over. This conversation is more calm, more intimate and Illidan lets Khadgar close to try and see how he feels about it. They speak about some personal stuff, and while Illidan didn't said it directly, he implied he don't mind to try (yet warns that it still won't be a lovey-dovey stuff). (ngl, their moment of confession is so hard, I tried to write it 5 times with different words, so I will never come to a single solution)

Illidan promised no lovey-dovey, but he found out he enjoys it actually 😌👌

I think I have some more stuff to say, but this post already went WILD. IDK, feel free to ask more direct questions or somethin :)

An alternative ending scene about Varian, when sacrificed himself for the people on the gunship. When he saw the ship fly away safety, he grab his weapon and fight until his dying breath. He accept his death...

When you look long this picture listen this awesome music for the feeling.

A old friend returns.

Landing upon the shores, with constructs in tow.  A single elf stood in center of the small group looking around lost. “ Well fuck, I got the wrong drop off point. I guess I will have to get there by foot.” She said as she looked around. Winding up her long strawberry blond hair, the elf pulled up the hood over her head.  “ Well lets get moving. “ Her voice strong as she ordered the constructs to come and walk inland, going as far as a broken temple leaving footsteps  behind.  This peace was soon lost as she and her constructs found themselves surrounded by demons, first the imps, those were the easiest to get rid of, arcane runes starting to flare up from her covered arms as she soon lifted her hands. “ Units one through five, make a premiter,  Six start charging your arcane beam!”  She yelled this out as she didn’t realize that behind there was a demon hunter that spotted the fire fight in action.  Yelling out her orders as she caught sight of felbats droping from the sky as she noticed the dead demons hitting the ground. “ The fel?” she asked out before looking up and seeing the demon hunter. “ Kill the demons within fifteen meters!” she yelled out at the charging construct.  Her own magic flaring now as she tossed flames so hot they almost appeared blue in the intensity.  Flinging them at the demons that came by and then one upwards towards a felbat that almost knocked the odd demon hunter away.  ‘odd.. he doesn’t use glaves.. and.. it’s more.. feral.. fighting... this is not normal!’  She thought this before tossing another round of flames to the demons.  The fighting continued on for what seemed ages before the flow finally ended,  as the demon hunter landed, she confirmed her own thoughts as the weapons were felflames, and claws. He was not a demon hunter, but who.. his face was hidden, as she stood there before laughing out. “ Thank you for the back up! “ she would laugh out before he noticed the felguard beating one construct into nothing.   The elf charged at the demon before she realized what was going to happen, her own constructs turned to make a circle around her as her own magic started to wrap a shield around her form. Adamaris could only yell out a warning of the construct’s own self destruction. 

The explosion from the construct knocked the man onto the ground, it also left her shaken a bit.  Turning to run after the fallen demonhunter as she reached out to grab his shoulder. Pulling it to get onto his back as she looked then at a pair of red eyes that opened up. Realizeation hit her like a rock,  it was someone, she knew him, Duroxas, one of the few that survived, before she had made herself go missing. “ Duroxas?” she asked softly before leaping at him giving him a big hug as relief washed over her. “ I can’t beilieve you are still alive!  Where have you been?! “  The questions would be responded to, but for now she was happy, one of her closest friends was alive, and a person she had always admired.  She was so happy that he was alive, it was like a wash of relief.

i'm glad they brought back vol'jin and on top of that his arc is pretty neat but also it came along with the "when he died it's the jailer through mueh'zala who whispered in his ear so sylvanas could become warchief and it was all part of her evil plan" retcon because the legion cinematic at the brokenshore before vol'jin"s death really let us see a very respectful sylvanas. respectful towards varian AND vol'jin. it let us see companionship. so yeah what a contradiction
