without his "scars," without his excuses, illidan would see just how far he fell. Realizing they are a fallen paragon would kill any narcissist worth their title, so illidan would do anything to keep afloat the sick delusion that he is a monster "risen" by himself through his own bootstraps. all sergeras wanted to do was to corrupt illidan so much that he wouldn't even recognize his own mother, and in that he succeeded.

what sergeras did not succeed in was saving his own life. while illidan tried to shatter his own mother, her power still remained within him, and using it illidan struck down sergeras.

the only problem was illidan's own narcissism lead to him becoming sergeras, so nothing was lost, and without xe'ra little is gained; so illidan's fate as a future raid tier boss is sealed in stone, sergeras just changed names he was never defeated.

BUT you ARE right to point out the similarities between the warrior of light and illidan, but there is a difference that makes all the difference though:
illidan never knew his mother and so therefore could not recognize her, the warrior of light does know his mother and cannot forget her.

you were not allowed to insert your own (very strange) illidan-like desires into dealing with venat, because azem DOES know and Love his mother even if you would rather not.

This is my first and probably last post on this forum, this site loads like molasses and I write too much for 3000 character limits; Goodbye.
