Prelude . Tyrande Whisperwind fell in the River Arevass when holding back a horde of approaching undead on a bridge , Tyrande was washed away by the river deep into Silverpine Forest . Maiev reconvened with Malfurion and told him that she had seen Tyrande " torn apart with my own eyes " . Driven mad with grief , Malfurion led a furious assault upon Illidan at the Ruins of Dalaran . Illidan was defeated but before killing his brother , Malfurion was interrupted by Kael ' thas , who revealed that Tyrande may be alive , as she had only been taken away by the water . Malfurion entangled Maiev and Illidan proposed an alliance with his brother , both of them accepted . Battle . They discovered Tyrande and a small number of Sentinel s , who had jumped into the river after the mistress , in Silverpine Forest . They were being attacked by the Scourge and , although the fight seemed hopeless , the women built a small camp and stood their ground . An air rescue was impossible due to a large undead air force that was flying around . Illidan insisted to Malfurion that he be the one to rescue Tyrande , as he and his Naga could move quickly down the river to her position if Malfurion could hold the Scourge off for long enough . Malfurion agreed to this plan , and the brothers moved into position . Illidan and his Naga moved down the river as the Scourge pressed hard against Malfurion ' s Forces , who contended most of the attack to Tyrande and her Sentinels , however Tyrande was also hard pressed by other undead group . Illidan discovered that the river had been dammed by a group of forest troll s called the Shadowglen Trolls ; his forces massacred the trolls to destroy the obstruction . The Scourge was assaulted from the south and were taken by surprise by Illidan ' s Naga , after defeating that base he marched north and destroyed the undead base that was between him and Tyrande . Meanwhile Malfurion destroyed a base of the Scourge and hold up against another base who sent undeads against him . Illidan approached Tyrande , at first she thought that he was there to kill her personally , but instead he and his naga attacked the undead and both , Sentinels and Illidan ' s Naga , fought alongside against the Scourge . Illidan created a portal through which he and Tyrande escaped , while their forces fought a way free between the Scourge and joined with Malfurion ' s Forces . Aftermath . Tyrande and Malfurion were overjoyed . Malfurion admitted that , if Illidan had not aided him , he wouldn ' t have been able to save Tyrande . Illidan then travels to Outland and Maiev follows him to hunt him down .
