Heart

They were so afraid, so desperate for a savior.
So starved for heroes, they had accepted Turalyon's gift without question. So eager to trust, most never wondered why Xe'ra had such a skewed perspective on Illidan—let alone how she had acquired his memories—and thus never questioned why she would ask that his soul be placed in her. Perhaps they saw her as a grieving mother: after all, they had seen her child O'ros destroyed. Dead children were especially effective for causing reason to flee before emotion: Velen could testify to that. Light's Heart, indeed.
On Argus, he laughs.

Credit for this must go to Mipeltaja, who, as we were discussing the new 7.1 content and quests, said, "This is honestly starting to sound like one long con where Xe'ra convinces us to put Illidan's soul inside itself and then it turns out that was absolutely not in our best interests." As soon as I recalled a certain major character's penchant for appearing to people in forms they would tend to trust unquestioningly, the plot bunny bit.
