BE Paladins and Shattrah

[Lissa]

Which brings us back to the timeless discussion you can frequently find on the WoW forums - why would, for example, these Blood Elves kill Illidan? He was actually one of the people who helped them, and he is actually against the Burning Legion, but let's go kill him anyway, right? And yes, apparently now there are some sound files in game which point to Maiev coming and helping the raid kill Illidan (even though Blizz said that you don't really kill Illidan, as much as get in his way).

Not that I like Illidan, but there is about as much reason to kill him as there is to kill Naaru or Consortium.

Ummmm...Illidan is also working for the Legion. Did anyone forget that he's Kil'Jaedan's Lt in Outland? Go back and look at the end of the BE/Naga campaign in Frozen Throne. He's most definitely working for the Legion as well. If you read through the text from various quests coming with 2.1, like getting attuned for Black Temple, it indicates that the reason Illidan thinks Kael should die is because Kael is trying to usurp Illidan's leadership in Outland and take over himself. It doesn't matter if Kael really is or isn't trying to do so, it's that Illidan's paranoia makes him believe that Kael is trying to take over and that is why Illidan wants Kael dead.
