Last wiki revision 2023-01-27

The Invasion Begins begins the demon hunter starting experience. When the player takes his/her first steps, several fellow Illidari will teleport into Mardum to join the party.

Slay 15 demons and change the Legion banner to take control of Despair Ridge.

  • Demons slain (15)
  • Change the Legion banner

Our advance force of demon hunters is here and has engaged the Legion.

Make our presence known. Let's send a shiver down every demon spine. Raise our colors with pride,.

  • 37,000 XP

That ought to get their attention.

Now, onto the business of summoning in the rest of our forces.

Upon entering the game with a newly-created demon hunter, a short cinematic plays, the introduction to the starting experience:

  • bossemote
  • Illidan Stormrage stands at the summit of the Black Temple with his demon hunters, seen through the "eyes" of the player character.
  • Illidan Stormrage: bossemote
  • Darkening with demonic power, Illidan flies to the edge, overlooking the Hand of Gul'dan, looking down at the naaru-led Sha'tar army at the gates.
  • Illidan Stormrage: bossemote
  • Illidan turns back to his followers.
  • Illidan Stormrage: bossemote
  • Illidan opens a fel portal, leading to Mardum.
  • Illidan Stormrage: bossemote
  • The player demon hunter follows the others through the portal.

After the cinematic, Illidan speaks to the player through unknown means:

Nearly every mob in the area is no tap, so help out in the mass-killing. There are five types of mobs in the quest area that are eligible for the quest: Foul Felstalker, Hellish Imp, Imp Mother, Mo'arg Brute, and Wrath Warrior.

While fighting, the named friendly NPCs start to make their presence known:
