WarCraft III: Gates of Ahn'Qiraj Cinematic Scripts

[Xarthat]

Some months ago I was planning to create a custom expansion for WarCraft III, making it called "Gates of Ahn'Qiraj", which would unfold the story told in original release of WoW. Never created most of the maps (really only began the first one), but I have some cinematic scripts I prepared. If you want to read what I planned, here's the scripts for the 1st map of the 1st campaign, the Illidari campaign.

Campaign: Damned Future (Illidari)
Chapter: Return (1st)
Description: Kael and Vashj lost Illidan somewhere in the Northrend and tried to find him, but were freezing to death and were forced to come back to Outland. But upon arriving to the Black Temple, they found out... a betrayal.

(Opening Cinematic)
(Shimmering Portal inside the Black Temple, many demons and some fel orcs awaits, while something is emerging. Then Illidari Lord Balthas (Eredar warlock) arrives to see what comes. Then, from the portal comes Lady Vashj and Prince Kael'Thas)
Vashj: Ah, Lord Balthas. Good to see you. I must bring you bad news. We... we sorta failed to destroy the Frozen Throne. Again...
Balthas: I know...
Vashj: How? Who told you?
Balthas: Our true master, Kil'jaeden.
Kael: Furthermore, we have a serious trouble. We've lost Lord Illidan somewhere in the frozen wastes. We need you and your...
(Four Felguards blocks the way to the portal)
Balthas: Shut up, Blood Elf. I don't want to hear any of these!
Kael: What? What is the meaning of this? (More demons closes up on Kael and Vashj)
Balthas: The meaning of this is that the Deceiver ordered me to take over the Outland and eliminate those who had failed to serve him.
Vashj: Do you mean...
Balthas: I mean, I have to kill you. And leave that fool Illidan in the Northrend. Guards! (Demons tries to attack Vashj and Kael, but Kael uses Flamestrike to gain some time. Then, Vashj and Kael teleports away)
Balthas: Fools! You allowed them to escape! Find them! Find them immediately! I want their heads, or I'll personally cut off yours!

(Close up on a Naga base hidden in Outland mushroom-forest, Vashj teleports in)
Vashj: Finally in place... But, where's Kael?
Naga Royal Guard: We have no idea. My lady, Lord Balthas have expelled us from the Black Temple few days ago and we know he's going to kill you and Prince Kael'Thas. Now, we need to find Blood Elves and the Prince before it will be too late...
Vashj: Of course, send your forces immediately. We need to hurry... much.

Main objective: Find Kael'Thas before Balthas will succeed in killing him

(Upon finding Kael with some Blood Elves in the isolated island floating near the walls of Black Temple)
Vashj: Kael, finally. I'm happy to see that you're still okay.
Kael: I am. But we won't live for long, if we allow that Eredar to claim the Outland for himself.
Vashj: The Naga would not allow him. We're loyal to Lord Illidan, no matter the consequences.
Kael: So are we. But that's the problem. Balthas still hold position in the Black Temple. If we want to reclaim Lord Illidan... (camera shows Balthas with his demons in the Black Temple, then back to Vashj and Kael) we must assault the Black Temple and defeat the Eredar. Are the Naga ready for that?
Vashj: Yes, of course, we are. But there are too many demons at the Temple's main entrance. We won't make it through.
Kael: So we need to assault from the back. Vashj, prepare your forces. A long and bloody night is before us.

Objective: Assault the Black Temple and defeat Balthas

(After first assault on the Black Temple)
(Dreadlord Vagath arrives to face Balthas)
Vagath: My Lord, Naga and Blood Elves assault the Temple from the backs. We need more forces there, before they would break in.
Balthas: They would not... These serpents and elves would not make it through these walls. We don't need to worry with them. Just kill them when they make it too near.

(After defeating Balthas in the Throne Chamber)
Balthas: (bleeding) So you have what you wanted... Temple is yours once more. Now... just finish my misery and kill me.
Kael: We won't.
Balthas: What? You won't?
Kael: No. We need you and your demons ALIVE while searching for Illidan in Northrend.
Balthas: As you wish, my Lord...
(Akama arrives with some Broken)
Akama: Prince Kael'Thas, Lady Vashj... Good to see you again in...
Kael: Shut up, Broken. Where were you?
Akama: I was... busy.
Kael: I am not interested if you were busy in any way. We need you and the Broken to search Northrend for Illidan.
Akama: Broken? On Azeroth? This...
Vashj: Don't discuss, Broken. This is an order!
Akama: I will do as you wish... (Kael and Vashj leaves through the portal) until I'll fulfill my plan. (Balthas and Akama leaves through the portal)
VICTORY.

If you want more of my plans, I'll post them there soon.

Does anyone read it? If it's bad, come on, I can deal with constructive criticism.

Is this gonna be a blizzard copy or will this be origional lore????


And will it have a "different result" than origional lore?

[Gurtogg_Bloodboil]

There are some grammatical errors and some of the speech seems out of character, but I get the sense English is not your first language so I suppose it is forgivable.

The biggest question I had when reading it: What does this have to do with the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj?

[Xarthat]

Xie - it's based around the original lore and would have original outcome. The only difference would be some minor characters and the fight with Qiraji would be more epic than in WoW.

Yes, english is not my native language. Thanks for forgiving. ;)

Which speech exactly seems out of character? I'll try to correct it.
This one campaign specifically was meant to tell us a story of what happened to Illidan just after his defeat and how he (and Kael) became persons we see in WoW. Plot of this campaign would have some minor hints of the "oncoming storm". The storm would be later unfolded to be the Qiraji.
