Technically, the "Illidan" book goes into pretty great detail about our powers, and goddamn are they potent. Every sense is heightened, in addition to being able to "see" just as well as before, and then some. The illidari can actually see the weaves and layers of magic if they focus their spectral sight.

I was super cautious when they introduced the demon hunter class back then, but after reading this book, I've really grown to love the concept. They're basically hardcore witchers.

> Demon hunters face blindness (but not really) in exchange for awesome power.

There's a lot more to it, actually! They are in an eternal conflict with the soul of a demon that they absorbed into themselves, which is being held back by their willpower and runic branding that covers their skin. They are constantly in a battle of wills, which is physically, mentally, and magically exhausting all just so they can tap into the demonic powers of that soul to unleash the powers they have.

You should read World of Warcraft: Illidan by William King if you want to get a more detailed description of the Demon Hunter struggles. It's pretty good!

War Crimes concludes Mists of Pandaria cycle. There weren't any novels written for Warlods of Draenor, only few comics and short stories.

This makes Illidan next novel both chronologically and factually. It's quite distant from War Crimes in style and plot.

They dont symbolize anything. They are binding spells, that serve to imprison an actual demon inside demon hunters' bodies.

I recommend reading the new Illidan book if you're interested in demon hunter lore.

'tag' represents Amazon's referral program, not 'ref'.

If you were simply attempting to clean up the link, then why not go all the way?

It has the hardcover for illidan on a seperate Amazon page for the UK but its unavailable to preorder so i assume they arent sure on how many copies they'll get or such and plan to wait

Answer wasn't snappy and I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion and I'm sorry if you felt that way. But if you want effort, here you go.

Of course you can't kill a demon that isn't in the twisting nether. Illidan was slain on the physical plane only, so it all depends on YOUR definition of dead. His body was empty at the time and I and many therefore say dead. OP of the thread appeared to state that he was still alive when maiev imprisoned him. If you had read my initial comment you would notice that we are on the same page.

Bottom line is, Maiev only imprisoned Illidan's body, as his soul was in the twisting nether.

If you need additional sources for where it is stated that Illidan is dead, I can point them to you. "As he dies" - "Corpse of the Lord of Outland" - "Illidan Collapses and dies" - "MAIEV STOOD OVER THE corpse of Illidan." - Excerpt From: William King. “World of Warcraft: Illidan."

Let me know if you need more info.

Pretty sure the Titans imprison Sarg, with Illidan there as a jailer just to be a speed bump in case he gets out.

Also, if you really want to get into the lore, Illidan was beaten by Arthas when he was fully empowered by the Lich King specifically to beat Illidan. They originally tied when they fought 1v1 right after Illidan broke free. Since being beaten, Illidan has pretty much been consuming demon essence nonstop to get strong enough to face the leaders of the Burning Legion. There's a great book called Illidan that explains a lot around his story.

> This is covered in the Illidan novel which released in March this year.

Are you referring to this book?

And ok.. so in the CGI trailer, it's Illidan that Gul'dan is resurrecting?
