History
The Black Temple is a menacing structure that sits in the red desert of Outland. The sole monarch of the Temple was Magtheridon the Pit Lord, the successor to the fallen Mannoroth. Magtheridon used a number of Dark Portals to summon his armies and to bolster the Burning Legion's hold on the broken world of the draenei.
Illidan, Lady Vashj of the Naga, Kael'Thas of the Blood Elves, Akama of the draenei and their followers laid seige to the Black Temple following a seemingly successful effort to hide Illidan from his master, Kil'jaeden, by destroying all access points to Outland from the Twisting Nether. Thinking himself finally safe from Kil'jaeden's wrath, Illidan shifted his goal from simple self-preservation to conquest. He would wrest control of Outland from the cruel Magtheridon and rule the world in his place. Kael and the Blood Elves followed Illidan because he knew what it was like to be addicted to magic as they were, and had promised to give them a source of magic so powerful it would feed their hunger forever. Akama and the draenei followed Illidan because Magtheridon's armies had been trying to exterminate them. Vashj and the Naga followed Illidan for their own reasons, which have not yet been fully explained.
Illidan and his company succeeded in defeating Magtheridon and named themselves the new rulers of Outland. The victory was short lived as Kil'jaeden appeared to remind Illidan that he could not escape the far-reaching gaze of the Burning Legion, not even in the Black Temple.
