Hm, I don't know why I was so convinced that
The Fall of the Betrayer
asked you to take Illidan's Head.
Doesn't mention Illidan's head being removed. And it wasn't during the encounter. His head isn't lootable.
If Illidan does come back, it would probably be as a spirit-being. Or some kind of form which reflects redemption.
Seen the latest Azerothian Super Vllains lately?

That's the thing; Medivh was being Controlled by Sargeras, everything Illidan did, was for himself, no special circumstances; joining the Highborne during WotA and fighting the allies, done for power. Attempting to destroy Northrend during Frozen Throne, done to make himself a hero. Going after Arthas...alright, that was because he had a death sentence over him but still.....
Plus, he have to admit he was wrong to his brother....yeah like that is going to happen.

You do know Illidan is dead right?
The Black Dragonflight family, along with many other bosses (ZG,ZA.. etc) were killed and came back somehow, so why not illidan?
They were resurrected by an EXTREMELY powerful force, and ZG ZA haven't come back. So thats why not Illidan.
Azshara, along with old gods/titans are powerful entities, I believe they have to power to bring Illidan back. But I would rather see Illidan on the good side. Maybe Akama and the draenei cured him and bring back a good powerful ally. I believe Illidan isn't like Arthas, he can still be redeemed.
Actually, Arthas was corrupted by Frostmourne, even though his sense of right and wrong, though existent, were rather twisted before it. Illidan was just an #$%^&*!, so there's no real way to redeem him.

It's always possible I guess with him being a nightelf and the whole emerald dream thing. They used the emerald dream to bring Cenarius back after Grom threw him a beating. Malfurion is constantly in and out of the dream - could be Illidan gets uncorrupted or more corrupted in the dream after death and comes back in one form or the other.
Cenarius came back from the Emerald dream because he's a spirit being, essentiially an Emerald Dream elemental, unless he's killed inside the dream he's just banished to the dream and can eventually come back, like any (well, most) elementals killed outside the elemental planes.
Malfurion can go back and forth between the real world and the Dream because he's a druid (arguably THE druid) and that's kinda their thing.
Illidan was not a druid, he gave up on his druid training and became a mage (and then a demon hunter, and then a demon). Illidan would not be able to go to the Emerald Dream unless he was sent there by a druid, and last I saw Illidan the only place druids were sending him was a world of hurt.

He was always a mage; he tried out Druidic training as a promise to his brother, sucked at it hard core and went back to mana leeching.

There was no telling what happened after we defeated Illidan, not like some bosses, we chopped off their head and complete the quest. But not for Illidan. I always think he simply did not just die, or I hope..
Oh, you mean like Onyxia and Nefarion?
Zalazane too. I'm surprised 'the head you found turned into a pile of rocks' or whatever didn't turn into a meme.

Holy %^&*...useless necro.
On topic: For the love of the Naaru, Blizzard, don't bring back the Emo-King! He's dead, he's gone, and Maiev has already gone nuts and went rogue against the rest of the Night Elves and to a lesser extent, the Horde and the Alliance. Leave Illidan in peace, who cares about him, he was just a power hungry, vain, self-centered moron.

Maybe Illidan would come back from the nether and this will fix his head and he will realize that we are not the eniemies and fight the legion when it comes back to azeroth.
He's dead Jim, just like this thread.
Sadly, it's an on topic necro >_<
