Yes, Illidan took the power of the Skull of Gul'dan for himself. But did he flee with it into the night? Did he use it for his own glory? No... his very first action was to use his new power to assault the dreadlord Tichondrius! Witness his triumph, {class}. Witness how Illidan reclaimed Felwood from the demons... and the thanks he was given.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Skull of Gul'dan
Illidan set out to find the Skull of Gul'dan. He fought through armies of demons to reach it, slaying them with the power that made him a hated outcast. See him in battle, <class>. Witness the one that fought the fiercest against the corruptors of Felwood, and struck at its source.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Deceivers In Our Midst
Now that you've had a lesson in keeping an open mind, perhaps you'd like to learn WHY I killed those druids. The answer is simple: They are not druids at all. Demons still roam the ruins, now hiding in plain sight in the guise of friendly caretakers.
