In this they show a level of maturity, wisdom and harmony that belies the seemingly warped sense of rightness that caused them to go to THAT extent of taking the fel into their body, something usually only the insane would do, not those who claim to be fighting for their world no matter the cost. Not many realize the strength of conviction that can bear such a burden and remain pure of heart, but when you hear the heart of their cause "The Legion would do anything to destroy our world, and we will sacrifice everything to save it." you begin to believe.
Have any of you ever served in the military? If you're black or white, or possibly even muslim and serve in the U.S military, I find the bond of the Illidari is like that. When you serve as NAVY SEAL or a Marine, or in any of the armed forces, you form a bond with your brothers that transcends the past conflicts between blacks and whites, catholics and protestants, anti-semite and semite. You have the back of your brother, and he is your brother even though he is as black as tar and you're as white as snow, whether he was from a wealthy and educated background and you were from the slums, poor and orphaned. It matters not.
The Illidari portrays the brotherhood of the armed forces best, as in it two opposed factions of elves have their enmity and differences obliterated by their common bond of purpose and fellowship. Here they are not night elf or blood elf, dark skinned or light skinned, they are elves, of Azeroth, and they would sacrifice everything to save their world from the evil that will do everything to devour it.
Thumbs up to the Illidari.
