                                                                           Chapter Two: The Broken Isles
The next day, Maiev's boats run into a mysterious chain of islands.  The
island's house many ruins.
Naisha: Mistress, we followed Illidan's course due east as you asked, but these
strange islands do not appear on any of our maps.
Maiev: I suspected as much.  These islands must have been formed only recently.
Naisha: What makes you say that?
Maiev: The ruins all around us, Naisha... I recognize them.  This was once the
great city of Suramar, built before our civilization was blasted beneath the
sea ten thousand years ago.
Naisha: But how could... Are you suggesting that these islands were somehow
raised from the seafloor.
Maiev: Perhaps, though there are few powers left in the world capable of
raising islands from the deeps.  Regardless, it's a mystery we'll have to solve
later.  We'd best head inland and set up a base camp.  Once we're situated,
we'll pick up Illidan's trail.  Here, sisters.  Let's establish a base so we
can continue our hunt for Illidan.
During the mission, a strange orc named Drak'thul sends Maiev on a task to
destroy some pits which constantly force dead orcs to fight each other.  He
doesn't say why, or how it got there, but a player may wish to do this.  As
this is one of a few bonus missions which has real relevance to the story, I'll
go into it.  Once Maiev returns to Drak'thul, after ending the fighting, he
tells the story.
Drak'thul: Thank you, stranger.  Now, hear my tale.  Nearly twenty years ago,
the great warlock Gul'dan raised these islands from the deeps.  He sought to
unearth an ancient vault that held the remains of the Dark Titan.
Maiev: Sargeras!  You speak of the Legion's creator!
Drak'thul: The same.  After Sargeras' defeat, ages ago, his remains were locked
away in an undersea tomb.  Gul'dan believed that opening the tomb would grant
him the Dark Titan's power.  For his pride, he and the rest of our clan were
torn to shreds by crazed demons.  I have wandered these isles ever since,
haunted by the ghosts of my slaughtered comrades.
Maiev: Your tale is as intriguing as it is dire, Drak'thul.  It's a shame your
ghosts lie silent.  You deserve far worse than their company for what you set
loose in this place.
Illidan, meanwhile, finds the Tomb of Sargeras.
Illidan: At last!  The Tomb of Sargeras is found!  You, my trusted servants,
must remain here and guard the entrance.  If that wretched warden managed to
reach this island, she'll certainly try to follow us.
Maiev, Naisha, and the rest of her hunters are just behind.
Naisha: Illidan!  I knew we'd find him!  We'll have to fight our way through
the naga's defenses in order to follow him!
Maiev: We locked Illidan beneath the earth long ago.  I intend to do so again.
Illidan turns into his demon form and busts a hole into the tomb.  Maiev and
her forces deal with the naga guards as quickly as they can.
Maiev: Now quickly, my sisters!  Illidan must be stopped at all costs!
