Only after that, Kil'jaeden makes his appearance, in a short cutscene and later we meet him in the Tomb of Sargeras.
Now,I have a question - why the hell did we need a Gul'dan,who was Kil'jaeden's puppet,if Kil'jaeden could've gotten way more screen time and be the main jerk instead of alternative universe Gul'dan? Come on,it was Kil'jaeden,the master schemer,the jerk,who is blamed for destruction of many worlds and who destroyed entire races. Couldn't he be the one who actually creates a plan to invade the Azeroth? No,instead we wasted another major character - Archimonde,so that he could send an alternative,improved version of Gul'dan,who is more cunning and ruthless,yet not as iconic as Kil'jaeden.
Now,if we look back at it,I have a feeling,that Legion could have been more epic - come on,we took a fight against the Burning Legion itself! Before,if you would hear the word "Burning Legion",you would imagine Sargeras and his most trusted lieutenants - Kil'jaeden and Archimonde. Archimonde died like a crap in the end of other expansion,Kil'jaeden appeared in the middle of expansion without much involvement and died few momens later and Sargeras jumped out of the cloud only to stab Azeroth and be imprisoned moments later.
I think,that this and the crappy story we have in Battle for Azeroth,proves that Blizzard sold itself to Activision long ago. They had a good,interesting,logically written story up until the moment Activision took over and started to turn it into a crap,deleting a fine written text and replacing it with nonsensical bullshit. It's as if a house owner sells a beautiful,clean house to a people,who in a year turn it into a dump.
