Hello SG community. This is my first ITH puzzle so I hope I did everything correctly. The game I am giving away behind this quiz is Talos Principle and the level restriction is 3+.

Talos Principle is a masterful game, I spent around 40 hours to get 100% completion on it including Road to Gehenna DLC. I had such a blast playing the game that it quickly became my most favourite puzzle game of all time. One of the most important factors to make it so is not the puzzles themselves but the philosophical discussions I had with the AI and the symbolism within the game. Incredibly well done.

So, I wanted to do a giveaway for this special game using someone who is even more special than anything else: Illidan Stormrage from Warcraft. I've been an Illidan fangirl since Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and in the past 3 years he's even saved my life in a way I can't explain in public or even private for that matter but he really did. I am currently alive because of him, so I figured "Why not host a GA hidden in an Illidan quiz". The quiz is not really hard, with a bit of research you can find the answers to all questions and maybe learn a little bit about him.

You can access the quiz here. The giveaway will be ongoing for a week.

Feel free to share Illidan related fan art, gif or wallpapers in the comments if you like but it is not necessary by any means. I probably have all of them :D

I strongly recommend watching Blizzard's Illidan focused Harbingers episode. Too much awesomeness :D

Update: 8th question had 2 correct answers but as I'm quite new to ITH I didn't know how to add the 2nd answer without making the other answer a requirement so I initially added one answer. I guess all I had to do was press Enter and write the other answer on a new line. This question is fixed now and both answers should work. I'm so sorry about the inconvenience this question has caused :(

Update: 4th question and its answers have been revised. Multiple versions for the correct answers have been added. QUOTATION MARKS ARE NOT NECESSARY!

Update: 1st question only requires the zone as the correct answer. Name of the town isn't necessary, only the zone.

Hint for Q3: Before he transformed into a demon Illidan had something only a few other Night Elves have. This made him unique and stand out among most of other Night Elves (again in his PRE-DEMON FORM). The answers are staring at you right in the face! :D

I thought REMOVED! was the obvious Illidian quote, but apparently not!

If it's not that, it seems like there's hundreds of possibilities... Feeling lost with that one!

It would be okay if it was so far away from the correct answer but you already got 3 words correctly in that sentence, only 1 word is incorrect :)

Keep them coming :) The last one is too brutal though :/ He could have easily beaten Arthas in that battle but his cockiness and pride cost him the win.

I did, I almost cried there :( It was way too brutal!

Light's Hope storyline spoiler: I played young Illidan who was fighting against the early onslaught of Legion in Broken Isles during War of the Ancients. BEST QUEST EVER!!!! Game actually lets you play as him!! The agony he suffers when he has to siphon the life essence his from his moon guard, thus killing them, in an effort to destroy some Legion lieutenant have been portrayed really well. I really hope that ignorants will stop seeing him as some evil villain after this quest. (They can still hate him if they want but he is not a villain!) :P

Wait, why would that be in Light's Hope? :o Please tell me there's no Arch-mage Rhonin in that quest like a Raptor Messiah there to save the day =s

I meant Light's Heart, silly me :P As for your 2nd statement, you don't need to hide from me, everyone can have their opinions :D I don't intend on brainwashing people into favouring Illidan above all else :) He's mine so more haters means less competition ;)

That being said, if there was an extreme hater on this post, I'd totally ignore them.

I hadn't seen that storyline yet, and reading up on it hurts my brain >_< Are they going to Spaaaaace?

P.S. I forgot there was a GIVEAWAY behind this thread, and there are only 30~ entries so far with 3 days remaining.

It's a great quest, I definitely suggest watching those on Youtube if you are not gonna play Legion.

Spoilers regarding Light's Heart questline:

First quest lets you witness Illidan's birth, second quest lets you see how Cenarius belittled him and glorified Malfurion (ugh) and the follow up quest is Illidan's somewhat fruitless efforts to destroy only one invasion while he was serving Ravencrest.

I can't wait to see what the next quest will be. I assume we'll see everything regarding his transition into what he is today from his own perspective.

I'm worried about Warcraft's future though, or any Blizzard title for that matter. I don't know if you heard but Chris Metzen retired and core members of Blizzard formed their own game studio called Bonfire Studios.

I was gonna make a topic about this here but I didn't want the attention :P

WOW okay now I am shocked/surprised/confused/befuddled/ ?????
http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20749157269 is the post from the WoW forums btw and the first thing I notice is a. he didn't post it himself and b. There is serious lack of Blue posts in both threads. I know he gets a lot of flak for over-used tropes from people (including me) but I can't imagine a World of Warcraft without him in some form. I hope there is no other reason he is retiring except for his family ♥

Thanks for posting that, I honestly had no idea O_O
Btw I replied to someone below, if you think that is a spoiler let me know I'll edit it out ♥
Edit: I think making a new thread would be fine for this :o

His recent tweets kinda confirm it too. I don't think there will be many blue posts regarding the matter, there is probably some rule in their contracts that would prohibit them from speaking about it. Metzen was seriously passionate about Warcraft, while I believe his writing could be cheesy from time to time I don't think other writes will do the lore justice.

I think Activision is doing something that is making Blizzard employees unhappy. Could be creative differences or Activision trying to take control of Blizzard titles, I don't know but these sudden events certainly points at Activision in my opinion. I also heard from a friend that Mike Morhaime dropped 50% of his Blizzard shares in June; however, I can't find a source link to confirm it so I'll regard it as rumour at this point; but I wouldn't be too surprised if it had merit in the light of recent events :(

3 and 4 are so arbitrary D:

I got 4 with my last try before giving up. The entire time I had been trying the quotes with either exclamation marks or dots, turns out it needs to be with no punctuation! I distinctly remember it being possible to get an answer right even with something extra added to the correct string, has ITH changed while I was away?

And for 3 I have nothing left.

I'm going to add an update about 4th question not requiring quotation marks. There are 2 answers but one of them has a punctuation. I'll add a version without the punctuation.

As for 3rd question it's supposed to be the hard one :) I'll give you a hint, he has something only a few other Night Elves do. That makes him unique among other Night Elves. What is it? It's 2 words :)

Got 3 with, again, my last try before giving up. And, honestly, it's a shit answer. It's the one common night elf feature he no longer has. I would never have found it if I hadn't trawled a wiki for night elf appearance keywords to try. I would never have come up with it on my own, since, you know, he doesn't actually have it by the time of his various official appearances.

I said "as a Night Elf" on purpose. The question clearly states that it was about his Night Elf appearance, not his current demonic form.

I would disagree because that feature is instrumental for his personality development and his inferiority-complex imo
I hope that doesn't spoil the answer.

Is the answer for question 1 really nowhere googleable on the Internet? Was really surprised that on no wiki of his of all things his birth place is nowhere to be mentioned lol, on any wiki. I mean, I guess it gets mentioned if you read the books or something?

It is on Google, there is even a quest about it in the current expansion of World of Warcraft.

Could you please give me a link then? >.<
Sure there might be a quest now but as someone who doesn't play WoW anymore, I'd be damned if I can see in any of its videos the mention of the place of his birth, only thing I see is him as a baby.

I wish there was a way to ask u a question because on the distinctive feature, without much giveaway i think of something starting with "b", idk if u know what im thinking but as a night elf that words comes to my mind immediately. If you can add on steam or help here ;D
