Maiev begins casting a spell to break the seal on the vault door. Meanwhile, Gul'dan and Cordana Felsong approach the entombed body of Illidan Stormrage.

Gul'dan says: Illidan Stormrage. At last, I meet the great Betrayer.

Cordana Felsong says: So HE is the key to Azeroth's downfall.

Gul'dan says: Soon. The body is cold, but his soul is not done fighting. We have work to do before he is ready.

Cordana Felsong says: Hurry, then. The Wardens are coming, with the Illidari in tow.

Gul'dan says: They ARE desperate.

Gul'dan says: Illidan... now, you belong to the Legion.

Gul'dan casts a powerful spell, teleporting the body away from the room. He then conjures three gateways, but before he can depart with Cordana...

Maiev Shadowsong says: Cordana! You will answer to the High Council for this.

Cordana Felsong says: Judge me all you like, sister, but you cannot stop us.

Gul'dan says: You are too late, Warden. This vault will be your tomb.

Two large mo'arg brutes—Crusher and Sledge—enter through the side gateways while Gul'dan and Cordana disappear through the central portal.

Maiev Shadowsong says: Demon hunters, you have to survive. Find the one named Archmage Khadgar. You can trust him.

Maiev Shadowsong says: Illidan is still my charge!

Maiev pursues Gul'dan and Cordana through the central gateway and disappears while Kayn and Altruis rush forward to engage the mo'arg.

During the fight

Altruis the Sufferer says: Just like old times, eh Kayn?

Kayn Sunfury says: Do not speak to me of old times, Altruis. You betrayed Illidan. You betrayed us all!

Altruis the Sufferer says: After ten-thousand years of imprisonment, Illidan succumbed to the fel energy within. When he was freed, he was not in his right mind.

Kayn Sunfury says: He was fighting it, as we all do. He needed us to have faith in him, Altruis.

Altruis the Sufferer says: You followed Illidan blindly, like a dog. Even when he lost his way.

Kayn Sunfury says: He made the hard choices. He sacrificed EVERYTHING. What did you give?

Altruis the Sufferer says: I fought as hard as the rest of you! But I did not murder thousands of innocents.

After killing the two brutes, talk to Kayn to turn in.
