The Story of Sylvanas Windrunner - Full Version [Lore]

hello everyone last year I did the story the Headless Horseman for Halloween and since I can't sell the same story twice for this year I've decided to go with the story of Silvanus her story is one of my favorites and I might not be able to tell all the little details but I will do my best let's begin shall we not much is known about savannas before the first hold evasion we know that she comes from the Windrunner family and most of you probably know her sisters you have the older sister Alleria Windrunner who joined the alliance of Lordran in their battle against the first horde invasion she also stepped through the dark portal after horse second invasion to try and prevent the Horde from invading different worlds she fell in love with the human paladin terellian and they made the ultimate sacrifice of closed-door polo on Draenor sides to prevent Ezra from being destroyed many believe that the Alliance expedition was gone forever but the Dark Portal reopened during a Burning Crusade and we discovered that several of the members were still alive however Alleria and Turalyon they're still missing and we have no idea where Savannah her older sister currently is now her younger sister Felicia Windrunner she was sent on a secret mission to help the umh Ronin it would eventually assist with the liberation of the red dragon queen Alex Raza in under journey for Risa and Ronan grew closer alonein will become the leader of the Kirin Tor they would have two children together but tragedy struck at the bombing of feda more ronan he sacrificed himself by drawing in the mana bomb to control the explosion and save his wife he even managed to push Jaina into a portal before the explosion hits and his sacrifice saved many lives erroneous death would have a great impact on Felicia and by extension savannas but we'll get to that story later on now for Sylvanas she describes herself when she was young as a very vain she was beautiful even for high elf standards and she was a very skilled hunter the most promising one in her family this skill this talent would earn her the title of Ranger general of Silver Moon Silvana's was actually the commander of all of quail flus military forces and like I mentioned the first time that shows up in the story is during the first horde invasion the whole word by this point had already taken storm winds and were on the way to conquer Lord wrong anyway loafer took as many of his people as he could from storming across the sea to warn the kingdom of Lordran about the Horde and get a fighting force going the nobles of Lordran they formed the Alliance of Lordaeron and loafers bloodline goes back to the atrophy bloodline da Rafi they aided the High Elves many years ago in the so called troll Wars and High Elves had promised to aid their allegiance to the descendants of the raphe bloodline however the High Elves they did not see the Horde as a fret to dare lands they relied on their magic to defend their own home and they only sent a token force to eighth the Alliance Alleria Windrunner she disagreed with her leaders and she volunteered to join the token force in the war against the Horde she believed that a horde could be a fret to all of the world not just the humans and she would be proven rights eventually door they marched upon the kingdom of Krell fill us and Illyria she wanted nothing more to run back home and warn her kin but sir LEM he kept her in line there was no way that she would make the trip back home on her own even though he himself wanted nothing more than to warn them but they had to be smart and they had to stick together part of the alliance they marched to quell Phyllis as the Horde already began their assaults the trolls who had joined a horde they had been enemies with the elves for centuries and they could not wait to kill every elf they could find from the trees they swooped down they took up patrols as the rest of the horde they made ready for a full assault once the Alliance arrived they could see that fires were spreading across the forest and that the Horde had already begun their results terellian he wanted to work together with the elves who wanted to coordinate heretics so finally he could give a leiria to freedom to run back home and warn her people in the meantime the alliance kept the Horde busy and Illyria first ran into her sister for Risa as a pack of trolls dropped down from the trees the trolls they outnumbered them but they didn't know the force as well as very sad eats together with her sister Rhea ran to a stream the trolls close behind so close that they were nearly grabbed but just before they could the trolls were shut down by Silvana's in her troops Illyria took one of the troll heads with her as she met with the council to convince them of the dangers right at the borders at first the council didn't want to listen but when they saw the heads they knew that her words were true dear King Ennis arian sunstrider he was outraged that the trolls dare to invade their lands and he now committed to full might of the High Elves military forces to the Alliance led by Sylvanas Windrunner and her second-in-command Laura from our forum the High Elves and the Alliance they crushed the Horde between the two forces things were looking up as their plan was obviously working but the hordes it was no pushover they released their ochre Magi and even a dragon's brief fire from the sky and this the Alliance simply could not take on top of deaths quell Phyllis was obviously not the primary focus at the hordes they had set their eyes upon the capital city of Lordran so terellian he was forced to take the troops and chase the Horde before they could take on the heart of the Alliance Silvana's her people they still had their magic their Sun well to protect their city and not even the Dragons were able to penetrate those defenses so for two moments their people would be alright the Horde laid siege on the capital city and they probably would have won the war in a day or two was it not for Gould an good and felt no allegiance to the Horde all he cared about was getting more power for himself and he knew that there was power to be found at the depths of the ocean he split his forces away from the Horde which forced doomhammer to send his own troops off the ghoul then to take revenge upon this traitor in the meantime the Alliance had also cut off the Horde route of his reinforcements and Torelli and savannas Illyria Lorimar all of them were assaulted the Horde as they tried to take the city all in all things were simply not looking good and doomhammer had to retreat all the way back to Blackrock Mountain the Alliance they followed the bulk of the horde as the High Elves make sure to clean their forests of any invading forces none a lot of details are given about this fight but we doing out at Silvana's she lost a lot of her people to the horse invasion and a lot of her own family including her little brother leader upon finally this out Illyria went off the deep end for quite some time as she saw how much damage the Horde had done to her people and she devoted herself to killing every single orc that she could get her hands on Silvana she had her own forces to lead as they clean up their lands and due to their legions with the Alliance she allowed a human to join the ranks of her force riders Neffe knows Maris became the first and loss of the human Ranger lords despite Savannah her people objecting against this Savannah's didn't care what our people said not even care for sunshine I was able to force her to send nationals away and some of the fans speculate that there was more going on if there was more to nothingness than just his skill that attract the savannahs but that's purely speculation from the fans it would make sense though we have Illyria who fell in love with Trellium we have a very self and a lover Ronin and Silvanus perhaps with Nirvana's who knows what we do know for certain is that the Dark Portal was reopen and the Horde returned for a second invasion Silvana she did not join the Alliance expedition as they battle to horde but her older sister deliria did decide to join the troops before they stepped through the Dark Portal she sent out her friend avianna to bring a gift to her sisters Illyria realized that there was a very big chance that it would never return so she wanted her sisters to have something to remember her by from a necklace given to her by her parents she made three individual lockets one emeralds one ruby in one sapphire with an inscription for each of her sisters to Felicia with love Illyria and to Savannah's love always Illyria Verena told Illyria that she would keep the locket safe until Illyria was returned and then she could give them herself but as we know Illyria would not return and the gifts were delivered to her sisters this ends the story of the first and second horde invasion and it brings us to the events of Warcraft 3 over time the alliance and the alliance with the High Elves it would weaken with no major force to fight and to unite them the kingdoms they started to fight amongst each other about where to spend their gold what to do with the remaining orcs and is also meant that the High Elves they stayed more to themselves the Lich King who was sent by kil jaeden to weaken Azeroth and summon more of the Burning Legion he made contact with the human wizard Cal who's that and together they worked on spreading a plague across the kingdom this plague did not only kill but it also resurrected a debt as forces for the scourge the prints of Lord Rahl a young paladin by the name of our first mini fail was sent by his father to investigate reports of this plague together with her the light bringer and Jaina Proudmoore they saw how their people were converted and they even managed to kill Kaluza killing the wizard did not stop the plague from spreading though and its Stratholme Arthas had to make an impossible choice see the plague had already reached the city the skies this shipment of grain the citizens had baked it into the bread and there was no telling who had already eaten from it no no we're too late these people have all been infected they may look fine now but it's just a matter of time before they turn into the undead what this entire city must be purged arf has made the choice to purge the city well Jane an Efford they turned away from him inside the city he found a trail or mal Ganis who taunted Arthas to meet him in the cold heart of nor friends gather your forces and meet me in the Arctic land of northrend it is there that we shall settle the score between us it is there that your true destiny I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth if I have to do you hear me and so he did Arthas was able to stop now ganas by picking up the cursed blade known as Frostmourne but by doing so he gave up a piece of his soul now he too was listening to the whispers of the Lich King which told him to go home and take the prone from his father now the kingdom was truly lost an orifice destroyed in Bay's what his father had tried to build in years his next mission was to reclaim the remains of kalfus odd and resurrect him as a lich to do this they would need an incredibly powerful source of power and lucky for them they could find such a power in quell for lusts namely the sunwell Silvana's receive reports from a scout that the undead were marching and naturally the High Elves they had heard rumors about the plague spreading across the human lens but they had thought that they would be safe in their own City well fellows that have been able to stand against trolls against orcs and even dragons surely these new friends wouldn't be a problem they have made this mistake before only this time the mistake would cost them dearly you are not welcome here I am Sylvanas Windrunner ranger general of silver moon I advise you to turn back now it is you who should turn back Sylvanas death itself has come to your hand do your worst the elf gate to the inner kingdom is protected by our most powerful enchantments you shall not pass Silvana's met Arthas on the field of petal as she tried to defend the first gates but the might of the skirt was incredible every slain enemy Arfa simply raised back to life and her fallen forces were either converted into the scourge or their dead bodies used as ammunition to furrow at her reluctantly Silvana's gave the order to fall back to their second gates an order she had never imagined she would have to give fall back to the second gate fall back the elf gate has fallen onward my warriors onward to victory you've won through this skate butcher but you won't get through the second the inner gate to Silvermoon can only be opened with a special key and it shall never be yours you waste your time woman you cannot outrun the inevitable do you think that I'm running from you apparently you've never fought elves before damn that woman we must find a way to cross the river the kingdom of crow Phyllis had always been well defended by magic but a trader from within dark under fear had told Arthas about the key of three moons and how to break through the magical defences blowing up the bridge had bought Savannah some precious time to warn her people but it did not stop the scourge RF has filled the water with enough corpses to create a bridge which allows his troops to move further Savannah she knew that one way or another they would have to make a stand against this butcher and as they prepared themselves she fought back to a time where the world was right where she her sisters and her brother they loved to sing a song together by the lights by the light of the Sun high elves her enemies are breaking through I salute your bravery elf but the chase is over then I'll make my stand here butcher Inara lobby lorry I deserve a clean death after all you've put me through a woman the last thing I'll give you is the peace of death No you wouldn't dare and then it went away it all went away the coldness the stench the searing pain it was soft and warm and dark and calm and comforting and Silvana's permitted herself to sing into the welcoming darkness at loss she could rest could lay down the arms she'd borne for so long in service to her people and then agony shot through her agony such as he had never known and Silvanus suddenly knew that no physical pain she had ever endured could hold a pale candle to this torment this was an agony of the spirit of her soul leaving a lifeless form and being trapped why have I been summoned RF is denied Sylvanas the piece of the afterlife you ripped her soul out of her body turned her into a banshee under his full control and he kept her body locked away in a chest just for a little bit of extra torment Silvana's was forced to watch in horror as arfa stook down her city and killed her king anna sterian Sunrider he tried to defend these people but he was over three thousand years old and he was no match for the might of Frostmourne silvana she'd scream before when ARF's had tortured her but now she let out a scream like none she'd ever before the pain and agony of watching her people fall poured out of her and against her will she did even more damage to her people her Banshee screams scattered armor and made her people bleed out of their ears and die orifice has succeeded in his mission and he claimed the Sunwell citizens of Silver Moon I have given you ample opportunities to surrender but you have stubbornly refused know that today your entire race and your ancient heritage will end death itself has come to claim the high home of the elves now arise Kel'Thuzad and serve the Lich King once again Silvana's couldn't believe that all of this destruction the brutal murder of her people was all just to bring coffers I pictured life she was sickened by all of this and the only thing that gave her a little breather from an agony was to see how dark Hammond was foolish enough to try and betray our fists as he had betrayed his people r4 showed no mercy he took darkins life just as he had taken Silvana's her life now cool Jaden's plan ascended Lich King to Azeroth was to bring the Legion for a new invasion kel'thuzad was put on a task of summoning our commands and he actually succeeded in bringing this powerful demon to our worlds my plan worked perfectly or document all the preparations have been made very well ty Congress since the Lich King is of no further use to me new dreadlords will now command a Sturge as you wish Thor document soon I will order the invasion to begin but first I will make an example of these portrayed wizards by crushing their city into the ashes of history this has got to be a joke what happens to us now be patient young death knight the Lich King for solve this as well human mania have a part to play in his grand design the Lich King he did not work reeling Lee for kil Jaeden in secrets he worked on his own plans of undermining the Legion and he had our first point Illidan towards the skull of Gul'dan this skull would give Illidan the power needed to take out the powerful threat Lord known as ty coma deists and by extension gives the Night Elves to humans and the orcs opportunity to defeat our commands this meant that the Legion invasion was prevented but the other rat Lords less a command of the scourge they did not know about this Arthas saw how our command fell at the battle for mount hyjal and he quickly made his way back to his kingdom greetings dreadlords I should thank you for looking after my kingdom during my absence however I won't be requiring your services any longer Prince Arthas this land is ours the scourge belongs to the Legion not any more demon your masters have been defeated the Legion is undone your deaths we complete the circle never this isn't over human we knew you would return to a sprint office I have returned Lich but you will now address me as king this is after all my land what King Arthur's didn't count on was that the Lich Kings powers for training costing out Frostmourne had created a crack in the ice and Illidan's attempted trying to destroy ice crown from a distance had made this crack bigger the Lich King informed Arthas that danger was approaching and that he quickly had to come back to nor friends to merge with him so our first prepared for the journey with his powers diminished Sylvanas founds that her will was her own again she no longer heard the whispers of the Lich King in her minds and the time of vengeance was upon her she met with the dread lords and they made a plans to overthrow the king lady Sylvanas we are pleased that you came dragwon soon to know why we've discovered that the Lich King is losing his power as it waves so too does his ability to command undead such as you and working artists what about his powers though his rule blade Frostmourne carries powerful enchantments arthas's own powers will fade in time it is inevitable you seek to overthrow him and you want my help to do it the legions may be defeated but we are the knife receive will not let some upstart human did the best of us Arthas must fall the Lich kel'thuzad is far too loyal to betray his master but you on the other hand hate him I have my own reasons for seeking vengeance I just murdered my people and turned me into this monstrosity I may take part in their bloody coup but I will do so in my own way we have no time for this we must find our way out you have my thanks ladies but where is your mistress where is Sylvanas Silvana she been able to recover her body from the chest in which orifice had ordered it to be placed her Banshee led Arthas into a trap to the place where Savannah's would finally have her revenge moomintroll great king why here we've got to find Kel'Thuzad before what is happening here Sylvanas you walked right into this one - it's time to even the scales traitor what have you done to me it's a special poisoned era I made just for you the paralysis you're experiencing now is by a fraction of the agony of cosmic finish me that a quick death like the one you gave me you know we are gonna suffer as I did thanks to my hair thank you but you mindless ones shall not fall today again this isn't over Arthas kel'thuzad showed up just in time and he saved our Phasis life and our facade make the journey to more friends as Kel'Thuzad stay behind to rule his kingdom apparently at some points during this story Kel'Thuzad he either went into hiding or he relocated to naxxramas either way he kind of disappeared from the story as Sylvanas was contacted by the dread lord we existed only to slaughter in his name I don't understand a mistress I thought you'd be able to join me what joy is there in this curse we're still undead sister still monstrosity Z what are we have not slaves to this torment greetings ladies of honest my brothers and I appreciate the role you played in overthrowing office I've come to offer you a formal invitation to join that our new order very modest my only interest wasn't seeing Arthas dead I have no time for politics or join us and be cast aside lord I won't to relinquish my freedom by shackling myself to you fools so be it our reply will come soon a revenge debt what Silvana's wondered at this point but to take out our first she first had to get a home base she had to get an army the dreadlords they were not pleased with her decline either invitation so Silvana's knew that they would strike soon there was plenty of work to do before Savannah's could get her revenge and the first step was to take on the threat Lords with her banshee sisters she managed to take over some of the local population like ogres and Knowles and murlocs these forces they proved to be powerful enough to take on Fatima thrust forces but the dreadlords he made Savannah's an offer Sylvanas spare my life I beg you I can be of service I swear it just like you'd sell your brethren out just to save your own skin I must say I know what my brother's plans are I know where their forces are based just athle serve you and I'll help you defeat him all right I'll let you prove your loyalty to me a wand and keep it on a short leash vadoma fellas true to his word let's Silvana's directly to his bar a deaf Arak and there they find out the Deaf Iraq used his powers to control the humans amongst them general ghetto foes Silvana she used her own banshees to take control to humans they opened the gates from the inside and together they took out the armies before they even realize what hit them taking our deaf Arak release the humans from a spell and so far has made a deal with Kara foes the spell has been lifted is the nightmare finally over staring down humans I have no quarrel with you what is it you want elf which we have a common enemy the last dreadlord balnazzar currently controls the capital city of your kingdom if you'll help me kill him I'll see to it that you get your ass back why should we trust you you're part of the scourge that drove us out in the first place not anymore my only interest here is vengeance very well I'll rally what's left of my forces and meet you outside the gates come now you have no intention of giving them their lands back of course not the humans are simply a means to an end you sound more like one of us with every passing day my lady Oh Lord all three of them they strike out at bellas artes forces and they actually manage to take the capital city however before taking our balnazzar Silvana's had one final test for very Mothra's it's over that desire I don't know us yes my lady human but I it is forbidden for one of the Nathrezim to kill another my defection was one thing but this I require one last test of your loyalty to our Lord do it you wouldn't dare there your business is done now I want you wretched animals out of my city before I bound to the iron will of the tyrant Lich King the vast undead armies of the scourge seek to eradicate all life on Azeroth led by the Banshee Sylvanas Windrunner a group of renegades broke away from the scourge and freed themselves of the lich king's domination known by some as the Forsaken this group fights a constant battle not only to retain its freedom from the scourge but also to slaughter those who would hunt them as monsters with Sylvanas as their banshee queen the Forsaken have built a dark stronghold beneath the ruins of Lord Aaron's former capital city this hidden under city forms a sprawling labyrinth that stretches beneath the haunted woods of the Tirisfal glades though the very land is cursed the zealous humans of the Scarlet Crusade still cling to their scattered holdings obsessed with eradicating the undead and retaking their homeland so fans on a forsaken had bought one mission to take revenge and kill our fists the fiend the dread Lord was a great step but they would need more allies Sylvana she sent out several messages trying to find some sort of Allegiance but most of the world saw them as monsters and simply wants them dead war chief Rahl was convinced by her moon totem that there was potential for redemption in Silvano's her people for all fully realized the sinister nature of the Forsaken but he also trusted a mole and he allowed to forsake an into the hoards is that not only increase the Forsaken chances of victory against the Lich King and anyone else who tried to take him on like the scarlet crusade it also gave the Horde a foothold in the eastern kingdoms during one of her journeys Silvana's found a way back to quell Phyllis some way somehow the traitor darkened rafi year he managed to survive our verses punishments and he was trying to reclaim the remaining powers of the Sunwell Misun whoa it was destroyed after our fizz used it to extract kel'thuzad and this story takes place in the Sunwell comics in this story we find out that the remaining powers of the Sunwell they were transformed into a living being known as n vena Silvana's does her best to take out dark huh but not even her Banshee scream was able to stop him in the end of the story dark on is supposedly killed by the powers of the Sunwell in Silvana's she promises to keep and Venus identity a secrets dark on were proved to be near impossible to kill since during the Burning Crusade he actually returned once again this time adventurers were put on the task of killing him and collecting his heads and we can only hope that he will stay dead methanol's marries the the first and lost of the human Ranger Lords he fell to the scourge and eventually became a nun deaths Silvana's made sure that he joined the Forsaken before the skirts recruited him and NAFA nose is still very loyal to savannas which further supports the speculation that was something more between Silvana's and NAFA nose nothing else was still considered to be a hero of the Alliance and the Alliance was put on a quest to restore order at least Nationals from his undead curse a small army was required to take down the Ranger Lord but nothing else he managed to survive the encounter by feigning his death these days national strains knew forsaken in the ways of the hunter the final thing I want to mention before we talk about the expansions is the Royal apothecary Society this society was created by Silvana's and it was put on the toss to make sure that the Forsaken would have enough firepower to take on the Lich King they're working on a new form of plague which would not only wipe out the scourge not only undeath but also any other form of life the other race of the Horde they actually believed that the Forsaken were working on a cure for the undead illness but in truth they performed horrible experiments on both the living and the dead nothing would stand in Sylvanas away of getting revenge convinced that the primitive races of the Horde can help them achieve victory over their enemies the Forsaken have entered an alliance of convenience harboring no true loyalty for their new allies they will go to any lengths to ensure their dark plans come to fruition as one of the Forsaken you must Massacre any who pose a threat to the new order human as we all know the blood elves they enter the game during the Burning Crusade the blood elves they actually used to be high elves but they now called upsells' blood elves in honor of all those who had fallen while trying to defend their land against Arthas and the scourge officially their people were told that Silvana she simply died with the rest of them but the rumor had it that there was more going on that Silvana's was now actually the banshee queen apparently Silvana still felt some sort of connection to her people since he played a massive role in getting the blood elves into the hoards besides that she also offered to support the Forsaken to secure the land against any remaining scourge forces the blood elves they first refused her offer thinking it was some sort of trick but eventually they let her in they became a solid part of the hoards as blood elves quest through the Gosselin's they can find a necklace at the Windrunner spire the same necklace once given to Sylvanas by her older sister Illyria you can bring the necklace back to the dark lady and first she says that the necklace and her sister are a long dead memory but Silvana's she can't hold up that mass for very long her older sister still holds a spots in her dark hearts and savannas she sings the Lamanite of the highborn as she remembers her old life what joy is there in this curse five years took place between Arthas merging with the Lich King and him waking up to strike out at the world once more Sylvanas our people they've been able to invent a plague they did not only kill the living but also the undead forsaken and scourge alike even though Silvana's has regained full controls he still felt a certain link with Arthas and when he woke up she felt it in her soul at last our fees you will pay for what you have done the humans who spawned such as you shall be slaughtered your scourge shall be stopped in their tracks you will no longer be able to hide behind your armies of mindless undead puppets and we will grace you with the same mercy and compassion you showed us for all of us crushes and reluctant to give the order to assault nor friends but once the skirt struck out at Orgrimmar he saw no other way Garrosh Hellscream was put in charge of leading the bulk of the horde into nor friends and of course Silvana's also joined he assaults the blood elves they were also reluctant to support a war against the Arthas since they just had to deal with a civil war and Lorimar he did not want to send his people after war again Silvana's she made sure that they would carry the weight in the Horde and she paid a little visit to Lorimar have you forgotten who's responsible for the state of quell for us in the first place who is ultimately to blame she searched his face for a reply and when he gave none she continued well I at least have nuts my vengeance will not be denied you will give me what I demand of you the cinder arranges a Magi as well as the blood Knights we cannot spare them Sylvanas her flaking lips curled into a sneer then you can hide here like a beaten dog if that is indeed you will lure from our though if you believe anything come from its you are a fool do you think Arfa send to ignore you whilst you wait here and lick your wounds do you think I will tolerate such cowardice I would warn you those who don't stand with the Forsaken stand against them and those who stand against the first shaken will not stand long for a while now my people have stood guard in these lands and is the my hand that you have any place within the hordes you will aid us in nor friends or I shall cease to aid you in quell for lusts Lorimar he had no choice and he devoted his people to a new war in nor friends the bulk of the Horde led by Garrosh assaulted a land starting from the Borean Tundra once in a forsaken day attacked from the howling fjords under the name of the hand of vengeance they worked on perfecting the plague while also taking the land it campaign against the lich king it seems to be coming fine the Alliance and horde were even worked together but II drove gates Silvana's would be betrayed by grand apothecary putress raise up tons of the whole blood and Gloria waiters I was wondering if you'd show up I couldn't let the Alliance have all the fun today the blood of your father of your people demands justice you speak of justice of cowardice I will see the justice of the grain and the true meaning of the faith walk let it be rehearsed you will pay for all the lives you've stolen trade are only stated but there is nothing what did you think we had forgotten did you think we had forgiven behold now the terrible vengeance of the Forsaken this now all can see this is the hour of the Forsaken we're finished no escape for any of us the plague Sheena people had worked on for years had fallen into the wrong hands and pewters used the plague against the scourge the Alliance and even the hordes a very modest and putress they work together in overthrowing their queen and they took the Undercity right beneath her nose this meant that savannas she had to secure her home base before she were able to deal with our fists together with all Vol'jin and several members of the Horde they charged into the Undercity and they took a Fatima Frost's who was busy trying to summon something into Azeroth welcome to my kingdom of darkness did you enjoy my minions terrible creation potent is it not but enough prattling you wish to reclaim your city come then heroes for souls the fuel the hosts you will have this place back in pieces oh it has done to my beautiful city the only redemption for the traitors responsible for this will be an agonizing death my vengeance will be swift and without mercy lead the way dark lady we will follow very well watching the Royal quarter is this way stay on guard there is no telling what they're armed are for us and putress have in store for us what is this welcome to your future what little there is left of it endless planning such power can you not feel it mortals cease this foolishness and join me I will not fail not again cannot hold destabilizing and Thousand pardons master I was deal with these intruders myself The Voice files that you hear while fighting body mufflers they are named after Sargeras so it seems likely that the dread Lord he never truly gave up his connection to the legion and he was trying to summon Sargeras into Azeroth voiced the Alliance they were also struck by this betrayal and they had their own reasons for assaulting the Undercity they took on putress and at the end Verena for all they nearly went at each other Jaina she was able to teleport Varian any lines away from the city before more damage was done thrall gave the Undercity back to Sylvanas but he had learned his lesson he left behind several score chrome to guard the city while also keeping an eye on the dark lady to make sure that something like the Roth gates would never happen again Undercity was secured once more so it was time for Sylvanas to make awaitin or friends and confront the lich king together before defense attorne approach in halls deep inside Icecrown Citadel the argent crusade in the Knights of the ebon blade have assaulted the gates of the Icecrown Citadel and are preparing for a massive attack upon the scourge our mission is a bit more subtle but equally as important with the attention of the Lich King turned towards the front gate we'll be working our way through the side in of information that will enable us to defeat him once and for all our scouts have reported that the Lich King has a private chamber outside of the Frozen Throne deep within a place called the halls of reflection that is our target champions we will cut a swath of destruction through this cursed place and find a way to enter the halls of reflection if there is anything of value to be found here there will be found in the halls the dark lady watches over here make haste your last waking memory will be of agonizing pain pathetic weaklings don't kill me please I'll tell you everything why should the Banshee Queen spare your miserable life what you seek is in the Masters lair but you must destroy Tyrannis to gain entry now within the halls of reflection you will find Frostmourne its it holds the truth frost one village king is never without his blade if you are lying to me I swear I swear it's true don't kill me worthless gnat death is all that awaits you do not think that I shall permit you entry into my Master's sanctum so easily pursue me if you dare a fitting end for a traitor come we must free the slaves and see what is within the Lich Kings chamber for ourselves I I don't believe it Frostmourne stands before us unguarded just as the gnome claimed come heroes standing this close to the blade that ended my life and the pain it is renewed I dare not touch it stand back stand back as I attempt to commune with the blade perhaps our salvation lies within careful girl I've heard talk of that cursed blade saving us before look around you and see what is being born of Frostmourne otha what are the Lightbringer how you haven't much time the lich king sees what the sword sees he will be here shortly now lich king is here then my destiny shall be fulfilled on this day you cannot defeat the lich king not here you would be a fool to try he will kill those that follow you and raise them as powerful soldiers of a scourge but for you Sylvanas his reward for you would be worse than the last there must be a way perhaps but know this there must always be a Lich blasts the only way to defeat the lich king is to destroy him at the place where he was created the Frozen Throne he is coming as you wish my lord soldiers of Lord Iran rise to meet your master skull you will not escape me that easily office I will have my vengeance the same mistake again Sylvanas this he's too powerful heroes quickly come to me we must leave this place immediately I will do what I can to hold him in place while we flee no wall can hold the banshee queen keep the undead at bay heroes I will tear this barrier down bastard dead end so this is how it ends prepare yourselves heroes for today we make our final stand fire fire get on board now this whole mountainside could collapse at any moment we are safe for now his strength has increased tenfold since our last battle it will take a mighty army to destroy the Lich King fun army greater than even the Horde can rouse RF is fully merging with the Lich King had increased his powers in Sylvanas was no match for him on her own it is up to the Horde and the Alliance to tear down the walls of Icecrown and bring the King to his knees those that have done the shadow moral quest line and actually defeated Arfa Swift this weapon they're able to get a special item after defeating the lich king one of these items is a vial of blood from Sylvanas and upon returning this to her she says so it is done I had not dared to trust my senses too many times as a Lich King made me to be a fool finally he has been made to pay for the atrocities he imposed upon my people may Azeroth never failed to remember the horrible price we paid for our weakness for a pride but what now hero what are those freed from his grasp but still shackled to their mortal coils believe me I have much to ponder what now indeed so far as her storyline up to this point was all about getting revenge and with our first taken outs that's exactly what she got Sylvana she made her way to the top of Icecrown after these events and she found out that a new lich king was placed upon the throne bovar for Dragon had taken up the burden to be the jailer of the Damned but all of its no longer matter to Sylvanas none of it mattered anymore her undead life's goal was complete so Sylvanas she looked down and she saw liberation Silvana's she threw herself from the top of Icecrown and she embraced the cold hands of death but the Valkyr day had other plans in mind for Sylvanas it showed savannas visions of her paused how she used to be and how she used to use her troops to her they were arrows in a quiver shutout to accomplish her goals they also showed her how her Forsaken were the same to her arrows aimed at Arthas he also showed her visions of a possible future where Garrosh he used the bulk of the Forsaken to take down Gilneas they showed her how the Alliance retook the capital city of Lordran and how her people threw themselves into bonfires again all of it didn't matter to Silvana's all she wanted was to escape this eternal torment and she threw herself off the top of Icecrown the Valkyr they tried to stop her they tried to keep her in limbo and offer her a choice these visions were not to judge Silvana's but they were to show her what could happen what could happen to her people let them perish Silvana's cried I am finished with them davell kir had no choice and they let Silvana's go and see for herself or the after life had in store lady Sylvanas Windrunner tumbled in a free fall not in the physical sense her body had been obliterated at the foot of Icecrown Citadel it was her spirit that humbles lost like a rudderless ship in a storm how had she gotten here she couldn't remember had she been killed by Arthas had she committed suicide and she been sent to judgment by the wielkie time was meaningless here her whole life seemed not a series of events but a single instance a pinpoint flash of consciousness in an infinite foe lead she saw only darkness and then she felt truly felled for the first time in a long while she recoils in agony here she was her spirit once again feeling whole only to feel it suffer to feel once more only to feel object-- pain Cole's hopelessness fear there were others in the darkness things she didn't recognize because nothing so terrible could exist in the world of the living claws tore at her but she had no mouth who wish to scream eyes looked at her but she couldn't look back regrets she sends a familiar presence recognized it's the haunting voice that at once held her in its grasp Arthas Arthas Mimmi fill here his essence rushed to her desperate then shrank away in horrified recognition the boy who would be lich king just a scared little blond child's reaping the aftermath of a lifetime of mistakes if any part of Savannah's soul were not at that moment torn and tormented she might have even felt for the first time the slightest glimmer of pity for him in the ground landscape of all the world's suffering and all the evils of the infinite the Lich King was insignificant now the others had her surrounded her gleeful tormenting tearing at her consciousness delighting in her suffering horror this was to be her eternity the endless void the dark unknown realm of anguish hell or at least war cross version of hell that's what waits for Sylvanas on the other side the nine Valkyr still bound to lich king will they came down for her and they offered her a choice they were joined sivanna's in exchange there would be free above ours will and it would even take her place in hell as they would be forever bound together not only what the wielkie keep savannas alive they would also give her the power to resurrect the debts into new forces for the Forsaken Sylvanas agreed to the pact with valkyr and the first of them took her place in hell as Sylvanas carved out a new destiny for her and forsaken they were no longer simply be arrows in a quiver now they were her bulwark against the infinite together with her eight remaining Valkyr Sylvanas intends to never return to the hell that she had witnessed s-- I dearly hope that there's a special place in hell waiting for you Arthas we may never know Luther I intend to live forever though ladies Sylvanas in her forsaken finally took vengeance upon their hated enemy the lich king their dark crusade in Northrend proved costly betrayed by grand apothecary putress at the Battle of wrathgate the force Aikens devious plague of death was unleashed upon both the Alliance and the Horde two calamitous effect unbeknownst to Silvana's putress and his demonic ally vera matharis had taken control of the Undercity as a result the Forsaken were wrongly blamed for the traitors atrocities though the Undercity was eventually retaken Sylvanas and her followers still bear the weight of putress sins mistrusted by the other members of the Horde the Forsaken must now prove their loyalty to the cause and redeemed themselves from their supposed treachery to this end Sylvanas has bolstered her defenses within the Tirisfal glades and readied her undead forces for any contingency as one of the Forsaken you must use your cunning and viciousness to slay any who would pose a threat to Savannah's his rule be the human undead or otherwise in one of the visions shown by Rafael key Silvana saw how garish was throwing away forsaken troops in order to take Emmaus upon returning Savannah thought war chief that they would take illness but they would do it her way no one would squander her Forsaken away she needed them as a bulwark against the infinite and not even a war chief would take them away from her to understand the battle at Gomez will have to talk a little bit about the history of comas and their people gilneas built their gigantic wall around their City is sometime after the second war so sometime after the first world invasion was defeated it was part of the alliance of Lord Ron and their lead again Greymane he placed the support with the other leaders Greymane was not much of a team player though and he would rather spend his money on defending his own kingdom and his own people and worker together with the rest but he didn't go as far as we trained the Alliance the Alliance they would eventually win the war against the Horde and over time their allegiances would weaken Greymane who could one step further and he built a massive wall around a city allowing no one to set foot in his lands so they wouldn't have to concern themselves with other people's problems his wall was very mighty but not strong enough to stand against the scourge and our faiths when he underground the lens Ghanaians forces tried to stop them but they were decimated desperate Greymon oz Archmage arrow go for aid and arrow call he summoned the worgen to attack the scourge no organ were summoned from the Emerald Dream where they were placed many years ago that Malfurion Stormrage himself these worgen they actually used to be druids who tried to contain their powers of the demigod cauldron but instead of containing the powers they lost themselves to the fury their bites would even spread the worgen curse to other people a Malfurion he saw no other way than to place them in hibernation within the dream at first the plan worked raids the summoned worgen were a great fighting force against the scourge but then the worgen they turned around and they attacked Skillman people slowly spreading the curse through the city these worgen were led by are allowed a fang fire also known as alpha prime the first of the Druids who were turns into a worgen he had infiltrated gomes through tunnels under the gray name wall and he was searched for the size of a loon which he could use to summon more of his worgen brothers and sisters from the Emerald Dream with these additional worgen he planned to assault their nests doesn't take revenge upon Malfurion and to this ends he allied himself with the forsake in' and dare assault against gilneas the invasion of Guiana is it took place in several stages and it's a little bit too big to cover all the little details but I will do my best at first as I just told you Gharib screw to forsake an ethical nail wall but the wall was able to hold alpha prime he attacked the city with his worgen to which King Greymane allied himself with Lord Darius Crowley Darius and led a rebellion against Greymane in the past and he was imprisoned because of this but Greymane he still saw him as a friends and the city needed his help together they fought back against the worgen assault but Crowley he realized that the only way for the citizens to survive would be to evacuate them all to dusk Haven he and his forces stay behind to keep the workin districts it's a gray mane and the rest of the people evacuated Crowley's sacrifice saved many lives that day but at the price of him becoming a worgen himself the royal alchemists of King again Greymane had managed to create a potion which allowed to worgen to regain their sanity and take control over their actions even it was for just a little while these liberated organs they joined the Ghanaians forces and even though alpha prime may take in the city their walls were holding that was until the Cataclysm hit the world of Azeroth it's shared at a grey Bane wall and even the natural defenses around the city this allowed the force Akins not only invade from the lands but they could also assault from the sea no organ there were no pushovers though and their forces let's by Prince Liam Greymane and lore fences got free they were able to put up a fierce resistance unfortunately for them the Cataclysm was not over yet and they had to evacuate dusk Haven before the land was consumed by the scene the survivors they fled to black walls where they found the Night Elves let's Bible risa Starbreeze Bell Risa had actually been there when the first of the Druids assume their worgen forms and she offered her assists and knowledge with restoring the balance between man and beasts the potion that was given to the girl names it would not last forever but the Night Elf ritual would restore the balance and would allow the Ghanaians to hold control over the worgen forms Crowley had already made his way to the night and he informed adventurers that the Forsaken it gotten their hands on the scythe of Elune this artifacts would allow them to hold control over the worgen so they had to reclaim the item before it was lost forever a packer worgen let's buy Toby's miss mental they distracted a forsaken adventurers stole back the scythe before it could reach Silvana's answer these events got free and Greymane they showed up asking Crowley to join a fortress once more Crowley asked a gray Mane requested their aid SP tyrants or sir friends to his Greymane revealed that he himself had turned to a worgen so he was asking this as a friends Godfrey could not handle his king being one of the cursed worgen so he made his plans of his own he captures Greymane with the intention of using him as a bargaining chip with the Forsaken these ventures they came to the rescue once more and they liberate the King to which Godfrey decided that it was better to be deaths and to serve under a worgen after liberating and recruiting as many of the people as tickets gray mana Liam got ready to fight for their city the prince himself led the forces against the troops of the Forsaken as they fought away to the heart of the city their Silvana's herself showed up on a battlefield planning to use a poisoned arrow on the king himself but his son jumped in front of the shots and he died in his father's arms so harness retreated and she mets with general warhol who was send back garage to keep an eye on the Forsaken it appears you're losing control of Gilneas Sylvanas garage fears he's going to have to carry out this invasion himself you can assure Garrosh that this is a minor setback our victory and gilneas will be absolute you sound very confident Your Majesty I seriously hope you do not plan to use the plague Garrosh has explicitly forbidden it you'd do well to watch your tone general neither you know Garrosh have anything to worry about we've ceased all production of the plague as he ordered we'd never deploy it without his permission I will deliver my report to our leader then by your leave milady go with honor general lady should I order my men to stop the deployment of the plague or are we to continue as planned what kind of question is that of course we're deploying the plague as planned let the guild nians enjoy their small victory not even their bones will remain by tomorrow wish Toby as Miss mental he heard the entire conversation and he made sure to evacuate the city before they would all fall to the plague Gilneas was left in ruins but its citizens had survived as they sailed away on boats liver to them by the Night Elves a new alliance was formed today would return to fight another day or the Gomez Liberation Front led by Darius Crowley remain behind to try and retake your knees from the forsaken forces meanwhile Silvana's she presented the war chief with her new allies where is that augur headed buffoon ah speak of the devil this better be important so far this you know how I detest this place and it's foul stench why have you called for me and more importantly what are those scourge feeds doing here war chief so glad you could make it with the death of the Lich King many of the more intelligent scourge became unemployed those fiends as you so delicately put it are called a Valkyr they are under my command now and they are part of the reason that I asked to see you get on with itself honest very well war chief I have solved the plight of the Forsaken as a race we forsaken are unable to procreate with the aid of the valkia we are now able to take the corpses of the Fallen and create new Forsaken Agatha show the war chief what you have done here Sylvanas it goes against the laws of nature disgusting is the only word I have to describe it war chief without these new Forsaken my people would die out our hold upon gilneas and northern Lord Han would crumble have you given any thought to what this means Sylvanas what difference is there between you and then let's kill now isn't it obvious war chief I serve the Horde what's your clever mouth Lomas you've stay behind and make sure the Banshee Queen this well-guarded I will be expecting a full report when next we meet remember Sylvanas eventually we all have to stand before our maker and face judgment your day may come sooner than other garage is obviously not pleased with so far as his actions but she doesn't care what the war chief had to say the Valkyr are now her most powerful ally able to resurrect the fallen and make them fight for the banshee queen something Silvana's makes full use of as the war against gilneas and the rest of the area continued the Valkyr that they were deployed to confer to humans at families al into forsaken but Crowley he made use of this attack by offering the humans they've woken blood embracing the worgen curse would make the humans immune to the huge magic and it would prevent them from being turned into Forsaken even though they hated the idea to become worgen they still accepted it since it was better than to be turned into the undead around this time Greymane had made his way through storm winds and he allied with the Alliance here very written he realized the threat of the Forsaken and he deployed some of the finest troops to the liberation of Gilneas the seventh Legion was sent out to take back the city and they were actually successful but Silvana's she had more plan in mines see it adventurers recover the corpse of Lord Vincent Godfrey the same Godfrey who threw himself off the cliff our own troops recovered his lieutenants Lord Walden and Baron Asbury they were resurrected as forsaken and Godfrey seemed to be more than willing to serve the dark lady it always said there was better to be dead than to serve as a worgen so he had no problem with being resurrected as a nun deaths his ventures they were then put on the task of taking amber meal one of the last dollar on settlements in the land a rumor had it that the mages it mmio they were waiting for more Alliance reinforcements before turning on the Forsaken so they had to be taken out before they became a peeker Fred's day to return to the undead's adding more and more forces to sue far as her army the seventh Legion and the worgen were not yet defeated though and gov Trina's men were set on the task of collecting Lorna Crowley daughter of Lord Ares Crowley who was leading the genious liberation fronts Lorna she was still unaffected by the worgen curse which meant that she was still vulnerable to Sylvanas and her wielki Silvana's went as far as to threaten Crowley and she told him that if they wouldn't hand over gilneas that she would turn Lorna into one of her Forsaken Crowley had no choice and he surrendered the city to savannas and the Dame seemed to be one however Godfrey had other plans in mind he shot Silvana's point-blank in her back ending her life and while the orc crow marsh and the adventurers presents a quickly overpowered Godfrey he did manage to retreats all the way back to sheriff and keep the wielkie it had made the pecks for savannas and they worked on bring her back to life the first time the savannas had killed herself only one fell key it had to take her place but apparently dead fell key it was far more powerful than rest of them this time it took all three of them to bring Savannah spec but they were successful in savannas came back from Hell she was furious at Godfrey and swore that she would get a revenge as she made a way back to the Undercity to recover Godfrey he would taken out in the sheriff and keep dungeon agony is to this day is still being fought over blizzard hasn't made an official story about this but several tweets from reliable sources suggest that even though Crowley surrendered several of his people did not they still battled over the future of kill neighs which we see the battlegrounds later on we have Creed who shows up he was part of the rogue legendary questline riffian he sends rogues to take him outs and Crees forces left the city for a safer place time will tell who might hold you mates in the future for now it's still disputed more territories would be conquered by the Forsaken amongst them the town of South Shore which was obliterated refused at the plague however the final battle that I want to talk about is the battle at Endor halt both the Alliance and the Horde they fought over this territory not only with each other but also with some of the remaining scourge forces the Alliance they were led by the death Knights faced Orion while the Horde was let's by Colter def Weaver and those who've made a deaf night before noted these two are very friendly towards each other they meet on the battlefield and after taking out dark monster gambling together they decide to retreat and regroup their forces Vissarion he wars his old friends that they are brothers no longer both of them they've allied themselves with either the Alliance or the hordes and eventually they will have to face each other on the battlefield for the fate of ender Hall we're told not to say a word about the little arrangements but Sylvanas is no fool disguised as Lindsey Raven son she sends adventurers on the quest to use FL kill and convert the local farmers into forsaken troops the Alliance also recruits and trains farmers to help with a battle and these farmers attack first despite the saurians orders it doesn't matter - so far as though she has seen enough a culture's weakness and she sends out her own troops together with the Valkyr to take on the Alliance even though the Alliance was able to defeat the wielkie the battle at Anna Hall was still lost they were simply too many troops for take the city and the Forsaken had won despite the victory sivanna's was not pleased the pedal should have been over days ago when they defeated the scourge so she grabs Cole Terra and she sends him to the Undercity our force apparently failed of creating his death knight Silvana's found them to be far too weak but when she's finished with him his weakness will be gone unfortunately for us this storyline is left unfinished fuh sorry and says that he will go to tear fall to find out what happened to Colter and to take on the Dark Lady but so far we haven't heard a thing about this who knows what Silvana's is doing with cauldre and Undercity but what we do know for certain is that the battle for Endor Hall cost Savannah's one of her wielki year the Alliance lost city but the dark lady is one step closer to the afterlife she desperately wants to avoid now after these events sue Vance then the Forsaken would take a step back as the stories the Cataclysm would focus more on fraud on the dragon aspects while mr. Pandaria opened up with the bombing of Fenimore war chief Garrosh Hellscream has the Horde attack furthermore he asked of them to gather their armies and Silvanus and some of her forces let's by captain friendís Farley she didn't join the bell of herself though and as most of you know by now the armies gathered were merely to draw out as many of the alliance forces as they could so they could fight small outs with a single bomb created from the focusing iris this was one of the first steps of garage using dishonorable tactics of him pissing off the other leaves of the hordes and when he had his people assassinate Vol'jin it was time for action volton let the rebellion against garage and his true horde while the Alliance and the rest of the world leaders they joined for the siege of Orgrimmar during the siege we see Savannah herself during the Warlord's Ayla encounter and just before the encounter she makes an interesting offer to lure from our blade first Bay is fortified by the Sun were getting slaughtered heroes port over to the docks and take out their shore defenses put a stop to this bloodshed I can raise your dead regent Lord your Rangers can fight again Sylvanas you will leave our corpses alone or I will deal with you here and now I'm sorry to see your lack of commitment hmm what are the human corpses well I suppose that's between you and the Alliance isn't it rise my angels let your screams fill the streets of Orgrimmar with terror she offers to raise lower Marsh fallen Rangers blood elves which implies that a Valkyr can resurrect more than just humans obviously lormer doesn't want her anywhere near their fallen so Savannah's she focused her attention on warlords Ayla after Garrett is defeated a new war chief has to be appointed and avoiding steps up and he takes on the mantle of or teeth Sylvanas doesn't objects but she does have her own things to say about it she says the following war chief avulsion does it sound absurd to you I for one certainly won't be taking orders from a troll but he put this little coalition together and the day he's also proven to be impossible to kill I admired it's time to test what he's made of Sylvanas obviously respectful in strength but she won't be taking orders Lord Mar says I find politics exhausting I'm confident voting would take us where we need to go Lord mark lenses over to Savannah's assuming he can hold this horde together lore from our nose what's up with so far she's offering two races that now he knows that within the hordes Silvana's could become a severe problem and he hopes that Vol'jin will be able to keep it all together we're going to talk about the possible future for surveillance in just a moment first we have to cover the events in war crimes war crimes takes place after the siege of Orgrimmar in which Garrosh is placed on trial the August Celestials are history Horacio is his judge and the horde and Alliance each Chester presents one member to a defend Garrosh or make clear that he deserves death Sylvanas offers herself to be garish the defender since it's well known that she often disagreed with garage the Alliance would never accuse her of going softs but Walton declines the offer they're looking for someone to defend garage and Silvana she would be a great accuser but she couldn't offer Garrosh a fair defense not the one the Celestials are looking for Indians is decided that Tyrande becomes the accuser while Bay needs to do his best to try and defend garage so violence couldn't believe that it would actually go with his farce of a trial but Bain actually did his best to honor his war chief request and defend garage he did such a good job that Silvana's lost her temper as they made her way out of courts she even went as far as to cobain a boot licking alliance sympathizer but death was one step too far Bane the powerful warrior see so Finals by her arm and she realized that if he wanted to he could snap her arm like a twig I am NOT an alliance sympathizer he said in a deep calm voice nor do I lick boots Vol'jin soul pains and let savannas go and he explained to savannas that beign was just doing but he the war chief had asked of him her wish of seeing Garrosh death would come she just had to let it come in its own time but Silvana's had no intention of sitting around and waiting she knew that even the slightest chance of carrots getting away of his head on the shoulders was too much so she started to think of a plan make deaf come on her terms just as he was pondering these faults a messenger rise giving her a scroll and a small package once we were on the same sides perhaps we can be again was the message on the scroll inside the package safar has found a necklace similar to the one protect to her by adventurers the inscription was also similar to a whole necklace only this one was addressed to her younger sister silver ISA with love Illyria the Windrunner reunion fans had waited for four years had finally happened ELISA had heard rumors about Sylvanas of course but she'd never truly dealt with it's the trial was the first time that the two Windrunner sisters locked eyes again every Saheb made contact for one simple reason making sure that Garrosh would not survive the trial the sisters met up at winter on the spire in the ghost lands where Felisa told savannas that poison would be the best way to go garage was under heavy guard so an assassin would not be able to reach him but even prisoners have to eat Silvana's would supply the poison while Felisa will put it in Garrity's meal but before any planning and scheming could happen Sylvanas had to know she had to know why Felicia who would married a human had found a home with the Alliance was now going into the very loss uphold by the affection for ELISA tried to lie it first tried to hide away from the real reason but eventually the truth came out he took my Ronin debt was all that was everything Silvana step forward and embrace their sister and Felicia clung to her like the drowning woman she was Sylvanas every Sam made the plans to poison garage and as they did they grew closer Silvana's felt emotions he hadn't felt in years as she realized that she'd been very lowly one day she even asked for ISA to join her in the Undercity together they could make their own laws and crush any who would stand in their way Felicia actually accepted sivanna offer but what she didn't know was that Sylvanas planned on killing her and bring her back to life the Forsaken would not be willing to follow the order from what of the living and in death for ISA would see the world as Silvanus did it would never have to be lonely again and at first Felicia seemed to be more than willing to join some fans in the Undercity until she remembered her two children she been so focused on gaining revenge that she didn't stop to think that the Undercity would be no place for her two growing boys they would have to be left behind and it would be the memory of her two sons it would ruin all their plans Felicia had poisoned Garces meal just as their plans but when she made her way back she ran into Enda Wynn who was just about to go and talk with garage and winner reminded Lisa of her sons and she saw this moment as the light being at work she told and knowing that she had poisoned Garces meal and it was up to him to decide whether or not to warn him with that information she left endo him behind and she made her way back to Darin to hold her two beautiful boys and naturally end the wind it's the only thing he could he slept a bowl of food out of Gary's hands just before he was about to eat here we opted the Celestials to decide what to do Garrosh and poison like this was not the way to go a messenger was sent by endo into Felicia with the news what he had done and she said tell him Ronin thanks him Silvana's was also informed about her sisters action and she wasn't as pleased she felt betrayed by a little sister and she rode out into the forest offender frustration to murder any that were unlucky enough to cross her paw Sylvanas fell to her knees she buried her face in her hands as she wept s' wept like a broken child who had lost everything everything little moon gradually the sobbing seized in a familiar piece of coldness drove out the heated hurting Silvana's Rose licking blood from her lips she should have known the pain she had felt at first when she dare foolishly permit herself to hope for something different for what she had now to feel something for another to feel love again it had been a warning a warning that she was no longer made for feelings such as hope or love or trust or joy these things were for the living these things were for the weak in the end they would slip through her fingers trickling away like the violet remnants of Jaina Proudmoore apprentice kindy and she would be left alone again and always called now through her tears and slaughter she remounted her horse Sylvanas Windrunner the penci queen of the Forsaken would never again make the mistake of believing she could love and that's where Sylvanas a story ends for now we'll Sutra nor so far has little to no story to offer further forsaken so we'll have to wait and see as to where it will take this story this next bit is going to be a little bit of speculation and a little bit of my opinion so take that as it is a lot of you asked me what blister might do with savannas and honestly I think it's going to be very difficult to bring this story not so much to a satisfying conclusion but more to a reasonable storyline her story up to the Ross Lich King was all about getting revenge taking out Arthas while also offering a whole to those hit by the plague she got that revenge during the rough Lich King expansion and they had to give her a new motivation his motivation apparently became staying out of hell the pictures of elk here and now savannas does the same thing to others as artists it to her she is now resurrecting the dead herself with a small site notes that's the newly risen forsaken they are offered a choice they can either join savannas they can leave the Forsaken behind and go to own way or they can return to the grave with some uses and arguments to make savannas look a little bit better in my opinion it doesn't really she might give a choice once the resurrected but she doesn't give a choice before ripping people out of the afterlife you also have to wonder what kind of humans would stay at Savannah's her side and actually fights their former allies their former brothers and sisters we even have one forsaken that simply stepped away from savannas because of all these actions so all in all I don't believe that offering a choice once the DS already done is a real redeeming quality besides that there are multiple occasions where she simply resurrects and offers no choice at all and she even uses her wielki as a blackmail methods we've seen this with Crowley either you hand over Goliath or I will convert your child into an undead this is a real fretts something that you don't wish on your worst enemy now there are several occasions worse mentions that something will have to be done with Savannah's Lord Marty end of the siege hopes of Vol'jin can deal with people like survives in the hordes of variances now to work of winning the piece I would like to station a garrison near Pharaoh mode we need to investigate cleansing the plague from Gil mayil and so they can rebuilds we must contain Silvana's so Varian he wants to give the ghanaian lands back to the kiln aliens but so far we haven't really heard anything about actions taken against savannas or the Forsaken giving up the land in the first place Blizzard keeps dropping means that Sylvanas is somewhat of her frets but at the same time they let her go on with whatever she wants to do I think part of the reason to this is that Sylvanas has a massive fan base behind her a lot of people that really love the Banshee queen and her story and they don't want to see her as an end boss or something of an evil character this is what makes it so difficult to predict the future feel Silvana's because on the one hand you have her doing evil stuff on the other hands your people who don't want her to become a garage so what can you do with such a character curing her from the undead curse it leaves us with the same result people don't want savannas to go anywhere so curing her doesn't seem to be an option a Windrunner reunion with her older sister Illyria might be a way to go but I think the events in war-crimes pretty much demolished any hope for redemption from her older sister Felicia she betrayed Savannah's near the end of the story she made her feel again only to crush all hopes and Savannah's close to heart once more I don't see Savannah stepping away from her path even if they bring Illyria back into the story so the conclusion to all of this the dark lady she will go on with what she's been doing she will get her lands she will build up her troops she will make sure that the bill LARC against the infinite is mighty and strong she has no intention of ever going back to hell and she will do anything in her powers to make sure to stay alive if you ever wonder like what might they do with the story what savannas might do like becoming the late Queen or finding Frostmourne or whatever I suggested over the years just ask yourself the simple question will it help her stay alive if yes then she will definitely do it if not then she will try to find a way to bend the situation to her advantage she will try to avoid situation all in all Sylvanas wants to live and she will do anything and everything to make sure she stays alive and this brings us to the end of my video like I said the final bit was more of an opinion piece than actual lore which means that you can have a different opinion about the banshee queen and deaths perfectly fine if you want to share your opinion please feel free to leave a comment down below and I really hope you enjoyed these videos I love the story of Sylvanas I hope I did it justice and I can't wait to see what Blizzard is going to do thank you very much for watching everyone subscribe if you like my videos and until next time guys see ya the grain heed my call in life we suffered unspeakable tragedies but we watched as the homes were razed to the ground before our eyes finally in the face of such atrocities we were to deny even the release of death now we burn this Wickham as a symbol of our victory of his old enemies we paint our faces of the ash to send a message to the enemies a declaration to those who fear and revile us as monsters to those who questioned our place in this world we are not monsters we are not some mindless wretches who are me no we are thoughts even more terrifying we are sure in a coward spine we are using an ayah we are the Forsaken

Nobbel's videos are great. I've recently discovered his channel, and so much work hasn't got done because I've been marathoning all of them.

Another awesome video set from Nobbel

Sylvanas can't even get the peace of death. :/

Hell is all that awaits her. Man what a fucked up life.

Now I feel bad for race changing my Warlock to Troll. Feel like I'm another one of the many who has betrayed the Dark Lady. :c

Nobbel is such a great contributor to the Warcraft lore community. His YouTube videos break it down for the non-lore freaks so well that when someone goes "Who the heck is Sargeras? Why should I care?", you direct them to an entertaining video explaining virtually everything important about the character.

I'm still terrified they're going to make her a raid boss. The recent books have been hinting towards it (especially War Crimes)..

and I mean, the whole having Val'kyr as extra lives things is so..boss mechanicy. Other than Lor'Themar she's like the last badass Horde has. (imo)

This guy is great! I strongly suggest his lore from start to end of mists for people trying to catch up.

The story of a Ranger-General who tried to protect Silvermoon and failed. And, then, she tried to kill Arthas and failed. Then she trusted a demon who betrayed her and she screwed up so badly that Alliance had to help her in the Battle for the Undercity. Have you ever heard about that time when I had to ask for help for protecting Orgrimmar...? Me neither.

Then she went to Northrend trying to kill Arthas. Again. And she had her little fight and her ass kicked. Years of building an army, of training and researching for this.

And then, after Arthas was defeated, she tried to commit suicide. And failed. Sort of. After this she decided to conquer Gilenas. And you know what?

Yes. She FAILED. AGAIN. Even using the Blight she failed. And don't miss this: she got killed. AGAIN. By Godfrey.

From all leaders from the Mighty Horde and the Alliance she is the worst. She's not only a monster but also she's a huge failure.

I mean: I'm a monster, right, but at least I will be remembered for destroying Theramore, not for almost conquering Gilneas.

I'm just going to write this out as much as well as I can. This is simply my theory on their longer goals for her as a character, and I hope I don't come off as an asshat.

• Sylvanas felt betrayed be Vereesa, and it has wounded her deeply. I suspect she may decide to take vengeance. Varian has said he would like to keep Sylvanas in check, and would most likely try to put Vereesa on the other side of battle vs Sylvanas to keep her from doing such brutal acts as was seen in silverpine. I could see this plan backfiring on Varian since he does not know the extent of Sylvanas' displeasure with her sister, and in the end turns Vereesa into the undead the same way that Arthas did to her.

• Word gets to Vol'jin of Sylvanas' attack on alliance troops, and is enraged that she would break the peace that had fallen since Garrosh's imprisonment. He threatens Sylvanas with exilement, which she scoffs at, claiming she has felt nothing but exclusion since her release from the lich king. Vol'jin has no choice and banishes her from horde lands. Sylvanas and the val'kyr leave, a host of undead following with them. In her place they put the new banshee queen Vereesa.

• Vereesa sends adventurers out to find Sylvanas in their former homeland, feeling like she would attempt to find comfort there. And indeed they find her, but it would appear that the val'kyr have more and more control of her. She visits some of her former friends from within the kirin tor, who manage to find that the val'kyr are still controlled by the new lich king. Every time they brought her back the val'kyr took a piece of her soul and replaced it with their own, so that Sylvanas was slightly controlled by the lich king.

• Worried, Vereesa attempts to save her sister from the grasp of the Val'kyr, ultimately culminating in a raid taking place within their new seat of power within the ghostlands, finding they have once again began to sow the seeds of the undead throughout the eastern kingdoms. In the final confrontation between Vereesa, the Val'kyr and Sylvanas, they all perish and the love the two had for each other bring them into the afterlife.

• With the Forsaken without a leader, Vol'jin decides to ultimately place Voss as the new head after her help against the Iron Horde and whatever else takes place between this expansion and these events.
