friendly reminder that tyrande and malfurion both treated illidan horribly, and only let him out bc he was useful.
illidan deserved better
they also enchanted the prison to heal his wounds. he tried to kill himself to end his torture and he couldn’t.
not to mention his cell was like..8 yards wide i think?
they’re both trash
I can’t say for prior lore, but in the book it’s worse- only nine steps from one end of the chamber to the other (presumably no more between the remaining walls). He would walk the nine steps, counting them in his head, a lot. And that persisted as a sort of tick for the rest of the book- him counting nine steps and turning around, to count nine more, or finally respond to someone.
On the very first page of the book, it says what I always thought: “They should have killed him. It would have been kinder. Instead they let him live, pretending it was mercy.“ and goes on to mention how that decision was only made so Malfurion and Tyrande could “feel better about themselves”– as though that level of cruelty and neglect is in any way forgivable
