Nice how the Matron Mother tells you to hurry, as the Black Temple is under attack. So we know exactly what the time is where this all takes place.
As we're too slow, Illidan dies, seems that's a bit on us...

Description
All that is left is to deliver your orders to our Illidari captains. The mightiest of the Legion's forces have arrayed themselves within the volcano. But, they will not remain on the defensive for long. We must strike first and we must strike hard. Once we destroy them, we can fly up to the command ship, defeat Brood Queen Tyranna, and take the keystone for our own. Lord Illidan will be pleased.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Before We're Overrun
The doomguard commander and his queen must be dealt with. His eredar are summoning in a huge number of reinforcements. We need to put an end to him before the Legion overruns our new foothold up in the volcano! As an added benefit, you can steal his demonic power.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Give Me Sight Beyond Sight
Jace Darkweaver swears that for a split second he sensed a demonic presence up and behind us. He took some of our forces up to the cave just to the southeast to investigate. They found nothing in the cave, but he is certain that something is amiss.
