To lure out the Alliance from Ashenvale , Sylvanas suggested duping the Alliance spies into believing a false narrative. Thus, Varok began planting misinformation and acting out an adversarial relationship with Sylvanas and Nathanos to make it seem as if he was priming the Horde to monopolize the Azerite in Silithus and was also bullying Sylvanas into endorsing his campaign. The Alliance took the bait; fearing the Horde was proliferating Azerite weapons, they sent a sizable night elf fleet to Silithus as deterrence.
Tyrande Whisperwind traveled to Stormwind City to help the Alliance leadership plan the war, leaving only Malfurion Stormrage and his skeleton crew of night elf defenders for the Horde to contend with. Although Sylvanas' advisers saw this as a boon, Sylvanas seemed quite annoyed that only one night elf leader would fall in the invasion.
To scare the night elves into surrendering without creating a unifying atrocity for the Alliance to rally to, Varok suggested they bring many siege weapons with them.
That way, the threat of raining death on Darnassus with impunity would deter the night elves in the city from resisting. Sylvanas sought to capture the world tree Teldrassil because the Alliance would use it as a safe harbor to transport Azerite from Kalimdor to the Eastern Kingdoms, and she expected that Azerite to be used for weapons to attack Silvermoon and Undercity, and then turn to Kalimdor.
By occupying Darnassus the Horde could control the flow of Azerite and the Alliance would not attack the city for fear of hurting the civilians. Knowing the night elves would resist them every step of the way, she also sought to kill Malfurion Stormrage and break their spirits. Sylvanas clashed with Malfurion twice — once, when she interrupted a fight between Malfurion and Lorash Sunbeam and another when Sylvanas attacked Malfurion when he had trapped Varok Saurfang in Astranaar.
Despite her efforts, Malfurion had managed to elude her. As Sylvanas hunted Malfurion, she could not help but muse that the war was turning the night elves cruel against the Horde but used their hatred in such pitiful ways.
Sylvanas contemplated that war was meant to transform civilizations into doing the unthinkable, and since Malfurion refused to change accordingly, she believed it will inevitably lead to his downfall. Sylvanas also pondered how Saurfang had been wounded by war but she believed he had fooled himself into believing his sense of honor would help him cope with it. Saurfang would be a dangerous enemy to Sylvanas if his honor or the Horde would ever be taken from him, although she would prefer it if he'd just rid himself of such foolish notions such as honor and stand by her side regardless of the morality of her actions.
Sylvanas knew if Saurfang refused to side with her, she'd have to kill him. After securing Ashenvale, the Horde turned its attention to Darkshore.
When the Horde invaded Darkshore however, many of their men were incinerated by the wall of wisps Malfurion had erected. To compound to their troubles, the night elven fleet had returned and were aiding in the kaldorei defense.
The night elves' defenses were enough to halt the Horde's advance, and Sylvanas and Saurfang knew they needed to act quickly before Stormwind 's reinforcements arrive to stop the invasion. Thus Sylvanas and Saurfang came up with a plan to divide the wisps' attention on multiple fronts, thus diminishing their effectiveness.
Saurfang and Nathanos Blightcaller took a group to scale the mountains in Felwood and distract the wisps to the north. Once the wisp wall dispersed, Sylvanas led the main Horde army to breach the wisp barrier. In Darkshore, Sylvanas tasked Morka Bruggu to lead a group of Horde infiltrators to commandeer some night elven ships from the night elven fleet.
Meanwhile, Sylvanas and her army faced off against Malfurion Stormrage, who told her she will not be forgiven for her atrocities; Sylvanas responded she was well aware. Despite Sylvanas' overwhelming numbers, Malfurion had managed to dispatch all of Sylvanas' guards, leaving Sylvanas and Malfurion to face off alone. Sylvanas and Malfurion dueled each other on the shores of Darkshore. Before their fight could be concluded, Saurfang interrupted and had thrown his axe at Malfurion, wounding him with a dishonorable blow.
Although Saurfang was upset that he had done something ignoble, Sylvanas commended Saurfang for his sneak attack and gave him the honor of finishing Malfurion off.
Sylvanas was so enraged that she was considering killing Saurfang, but she stopped herself when she thought it would be an inopportune time. She walked away from Saurfang and Nathanos' bickering so she could cool off her rage and contemplate about this turn of events. Sylvanas spotted a Sentinel leader off in the distance that was still fighting hard — even with other arrow shafts buried in her body — and felled her. Sylvanas pondered how Malfurion's survival would give hope to the Alliance and that would eventually heal the wounds they inflicted on them.
Sylvanas even considered that Elune herself may have played a part in ruining her plans. After securing Darkshore , Sylvanas gave Nathanos Blightcaller and Varok Saurfang orders to secure the beach and prepare to invade Teldrassil. Sylvanas noticed a gravely wounded Delaryn Summermoon , who then explained that only innocents remained in Teldrassil and that Sylvanas's war was one of hatred and rage. She attempted to remind Sylvanas of her former life as a defender of her people but Sylvanas whispered to the ranger that she remembered herself to be a fool.
Sylvanas experienced a flashback of her inability to stop the Scourge's invasion of Quel'thalas and stated that now Delaryn will understand her beliefs through her own failure. Sylvanas explained that life was pain and that hope fails, telling Delaryn not to grieve, for she would soon join her loved ones. Delaryn explained that she grieved for Sylvanas, for she had made life her enemy, and that was a war she could never win; that she could kill her people, but she could never kill hope.
In response to Delaryn's defiance, Sylvanas turned Delaryn's head to gaze at Teldrassil in her final moments, then gave Nathanos the order to burn Teldrassil, to which he and the rest of the Horde present complied.
Saurfang roared at Sylvanas and scolded her for her lack of honor and the danger she put the Horde in. Sylvanas however, was calm and was already proceeding with planning the defense of Undercity.
When Varok accused Sylvanas of damning the Horde for a thousand generations, Sylvanas retorted that this was a war and a failure of his own making.
Darnassus was never the objective; the goal was to create a wedge that would split the Alliance apart. Sylvanas needed a weapon that would destroy hope and Varok gave that up to spare Malfurion. The genocide in Teldrassil is Sylvanas' way of remedying Saurfang's blunder.
Sylvanas believes that the Alliance will now fight in pain and that will give them a chance at victory. Sylvanas stares down at a wounded Delaryn Summermoon. During the Alliance's siege on the Lordaeron Keep , Warchief Sylvanas contemplated the cycles of hatred and ever-changing alliances the Horde has to live by. She believes that sharing the world has made the Horde weak and that they have forgotten what has made them strong.
The Horde forces are weakening from the constant siege barrages whittling away their fortifications and Alliance range assaults. As the Alliance closes in, Sylvanas makes a daring maneuver to infiltrate one of the mobile siege towers and single-handedly destroys it. After which, she turns into her banshee form, killing several Alliance soldiers by phasing through them, and ending her rampage with a "For the Horde" battle cry.
This display of strength inspires the Horde's forces to push back the Alliance. The Alliance's forces began wavering until King Anduin Wrynn conjured a dome of light to reinvigorate his forces, while Sylvanas and her forces could only watch on.
With the Alliance forces regrouped, both the Alliance and Horde charged at each other to resume the battle. As the Alliance soldiers began to gain ground on Lordaeron , Sylvanas ordered her Azerite War Machine to destroy the Alliance's siege towers. When the war machine was destroyed by Anduin, Sylvanas ordered her troops to deploy the Blight on the field, much to High Overlord Saurfang 's protest, as there were both Alliance and Horde troops who would be caught in the blast.
Nevertheless, the Blight was deployed, and Sylvanas raised those who died on either faction as skeletal minions to push the Alliance back. However, the timely arrival of Jaina Proudmoore turns the tide of battle back in the Alliance's favor and Sylvanas is forced to pull back the Horde's forces.
She is then confronted by Saurfang who criticizes her for her ultimate endgame calling it an 'honourless travesty'. Sylvanas responds that honor means nothing to a corpse and that she believes this Horde is worth saving while telling him to go die his 'warrior's death' and that she may end up raising him to serve her in undeath. Sylvanas along with Baine and Nathanos then enter Lordaeron's throne room where Baine then confronts Sylvanas over abandoning Saurfang with Sylvanas simply replying that it was the death he wanted and that he could either go join him or tend to the living instead.
Sylvanas then turns to Nathanos and hands him her bow; telling him to do what must be done, she then comforts him and tells her champion to go. Alone, Sylvanas then sits on the throne, lounging while waiting for the Alliance to come. Anduin Wrynn, accompanied by Genn Greymane, Alleria Windrunner and Jaina Proudmoore then enter the throne room with Anduin declaring that she has led the Horde without honor and that the battle is over; all while Sylvanas defiantly mocks Anduin and his allies.
When she is given the ultimatum of surrendering or dying, Sylvanas confidently rose from the throne and strides towards Anduin; all while his followers watch her ready to strike should she try anything. Sylvanas then simply tells Anduin that he's won nothing and then suddenly shifts to her banshee form; letting off a scream that temporarily incapacitates the Alliance leaders. Multiple explosions of blight set off as she flys out through the ceiling.
She then lands on the Horde airship where Nathanos returns her bow to her. Sylvanas then watches Lordaeron as it is completely covered in blight. The Alliance leaders have escaped, however. Sylvanas simply smirks at them as she and the other Horde leaders fly away. Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner within Grommash Hold. At an unknown point in time, Sylvanas entered into negotiations with Princess Talanji of the Zandalari Empire.
The Warchief desired the might of the Zandalari navy , while Talanji sought the strength of Horde champions to combat the threats within Zandalar. Catching wind of this, Sylvanas ordered a strike team to liberate her from the Stockades and deliver her to Orgrimmar. When freed, Talanji instead decided to return to Zandalar with the Horde forces sent to retrieve her.
The Warchief later traveled to Zuldazar aboard the Banshee's Wail to begin the Horde War Campaign and ordered Nathanos to dispatch reports to her as the war progressed. Following the release of Mythrax the Unraveler within Vol'dun , Baine Bloodhoof informed Sylvanas of the new threat as he believed that she would know how to best proceed against it.
Sometime during the Fourth War , Eitrigg traveled to the alternate Draenor to recruit the Mag'har orc clans that the Horde helped save from the Burning Legion.
Eitrigg and a Horde champion helped the Mag'har escape from the Lightbound through a portal leading to Azeroth, shortly before it closed behind them. The Mag'har thus decided to make Azeroth their new home, and their leader Overlord Geya'rah pledged them to the Horde.
Sylvanas saw Derek Proudmoore , whose body was recovered by the Honorbound [82] as a valuable weapon, a dagger to plunge into the hearts of House Proudmoore when the time was right. Sylvanas would personally travel to Tol Dagor and meet with the deliberate Ashvane. Though acknowledging that Sylvanas only freed her because the Warchief wanted something from her, Ashvane agreed to discuss their mutual interests.
Sylvanas later attended Talanji's coronation and accepted Talanji's oath of loyalty to the Horde, as its equal. The adventurer was approached by Zekhan who implored them to aid Saurfang instead. Those who choose to aid Saurfang learn that Sylvanas had ordered for his death, an order that is thwarted when Saurfang, Zekhan, and the adventurer kill Lyana and the rest of the assassins sent to kill Saurfang.
After striking the adventurer in the face, as part of a gambit to make it look like Saurfang ambushed the assassination squad, Saurfang traveled further west into the Swamp of Sorrows , and adventurers informed Sylvanas of Saurfang's survival. Sylvanas remarked that it was "fortunate" that the adventurer escaped with little more than a bruise.
Expressing her disappointment with the situation, Sylvanas said that Saurfang will be found, delivered to her, and that she will not be failed again. Those who rejected Zekhan's mission instead report to Sylvanas, who after being informed of the situation exclaimed that she has special plans for Zekhan. At this meeting, Sylvanas revealed that she knew that Derek had help in escaping to the Alliance. She then questioned Zelling who Nathanos held at bow point and in response, Baine admitted his role in Derek's freedom and revealed that Sylvanas planned to deny Derek his free will by violating his mind to which Sylvanas thanked him for his honesty.
After Nathanos killed Zelling, an outraged Baine asked her if they were nothing more than pawns in her game and accused her of betraying the Horde. However, the Warchief was unmoved and in turn, accused Baine of betraying the Horde and ordered his arrest. As the guards surrounded Baine, he declared that Sylvanas would leave the Horde in ruins. With Baine under arrest, she turned to the other Horde leaders and declared that there was no place for weakness in their ranks and that they best remember where their loyalties lay.
With the meeting concluded Sylvanas left the stronghold. The majority of Horde leaders would express to the Speaker of the Horde their displeasure with her actions, some questioning the integrity of the Horde itself. After the death of Uu'nat within the Crucible of Storms , Horde champions discovered the empty blade that once held Xal'atath.
Feeling the power that resonated within the blade, almost if as if the weapon spoke with another voice, these champions were compelled to deliver the artifact to their warchief. Upon receiving the blade Sylvanas declared them worthy champions and that the blade is the compass that will guide them to victory.
Entrusting Nathanos with a mission of the uttermost priority, Sylvanas gave her champion the black blade, which would be used to guide the Horde fleet and the pursuing Alliance fleet towards Nazjatar where both fleets would be attacked by the naga under Queen Azshara 's command after the seas opened.
However, despite the Magister's best efforts the group who had united together in order to save Baine was successfully able to free Baine from his shackles and Jaina teleported the group out of Orgrimmar. Following Baine's release, Thrall revealed his belief that Sylvanas would now come for Thunder Bluff to burn it like she did Teldrassil. Sylvanas later called for her loyalists to meet her in Grommash Hold and vowed that the traitors Saurfang's revolutionaries will be dealt with.
While Geya'rah remarked that the Mag'har always stood ready to destroy their enemies, Gallywix revealed that the mechs were good to go but remarked that they weren't cheap and that Sylvanas better be ready to pay on delivery.
Furthermore, in light of Eitrigg siding with Saurfang, Sylvanas called for the orc to be captured and brought before Nathanos. However, before the battle could start, Saurfang, recognizing Sylvanas's loyalists as his brothers and sisters in the Horde and unwilling to spill more Horde blood, challenged Sylvanas to Mak'gora.
When Sylvanas questioned why she should accept his challenge Saurfang merely pointed out that she wanted him to suffer, causing Sylvanas to wordlessly agree. Sylvanas initially had the upper hand against Saurfang but, when she began to mock him about hope, Saurfang got his second wind by declaring that Sylvanas couldn't kill hope. As Saurfang turned the tide against Sylvanas, he claimed that she failed to kill hope at Teldrassil and failed in getting the Horde and Alliance to keep killing each other.
Saurfang further declared that the Horde was strong and would endure, and was able to slash Sylvanas across her eye. This, in turn, caused an enraged Sylvanas to declare that Horde was nothing.
Saurfang was then killed by Sylvanas, who subsequently abandoned the Horde altogether. The pair talked before wishing one another a safe journey as they departed. With her champion gone, she turned to the loyalists and declared that nothing could stop what was to come. She believed that the only reason the loyalists weren't in irons or worse was because the rest of the Horde was ignorant of their service to her.
While acknowledging that Saurfang's challenge ended the war, she mentioned that it didn't matter now as countless souls were fed to the hungering darkness. She mentioned that though she cared nothing for the living, she did pity the Forsaken and abandoned them because they clung to hope.
Revealing that she had a struck a bargain with Queen Azshara , Sylvanas remarked the armies of Azeroth will fight her master , who will line the streets with corpses and, in the end, he too will serve Death.
Her reflection finished, Sylvanas remarked that nothing lasts and that the loyalists will understand when they see each other next. In the wake of Sylvanas's betrayal, most of her loyalists bent the knee to the revolutionaries and those who refused to join the united Horde were rounded up in chains.
While some within the Forsaken sought vengeance against her, others were in disbelief and denial about Sylvanas's betrayal, [] [] and some like Nathanos and Dark Ranger Lenara stayed by her side. Unbeknownst to Sylvanas, Lor'themar Theron ordered for the Farstriders to track her down [] while SI:7 agents started scouring the Eastern Kingdoms for her and Nathanos.
The Dark Lady and her forces now work in the shadows as both the Horde and Alliance race to uncover her next move, including her own sister, Alleria. Struggling to shoulder the crushing weight of leadership, King Anduin entrusts the void elf and High Exarch Turalyon to uncover Sylvanas's whereabouts. Meanwhile, the Banshee Queen had tasked Nathanos Blightcaller and Sira Moonwarden with a terrifying gambit: to kill the troll loa of death himself, Bwonsamdi.
Sylvanas destroying the Helm of Domination. After winning the battle, she took the Helm of Domination from him, causing Bolvar to remark that it would be her prison. However, Sylvanas countered that the world was a prison and after splitting the helm in two, thereby piercing the veil between Azeroth and the Shadowlands , the Dark Lady declared that she was setting everyone free.
Though acknowledging that it was a blow to her plans, Sylvanas was confident that it was a blow that they could overcome. After learning that Nathanos was going to return to the Marris Stead to await further orders, Sylvanas told him to not remain idly, and she expected him to return to her with a means to prevent Bwonsamdi's meddling. Meanwhile, her actions have set in a series of events that threaten to upset the cosmic balance between life and death.
It was revealed that it was during the events of Edge of Night , that Sylvanas's relationship with the Jailer , an ancient evil who rules the Maw of the Shadowlands, started.
In accordance with her alliance with the Jailer, the Mawsworn served at her command against their enemies. In a confrontation with the imprisoned Anduin Wrynn , Sylvanas declared her disappointment with him, as she felt he had a narrow vision.
She warned that she and her allies would find what they seek in another before departing. In response, he declared that while it was unfortunate, it was of little consequence. She briefly toyed with Anduin's before agreeing to his request for her to stop playing games.
She then declared that she would speak with no more secrets and no more lies, and revealed that she and The Jailer sought to use Anduin as a weapon to achieve their ends. Anduin immediately refused, and in response Sylvanas told him nothing was fair, not life, not death, and that they shall tear it all down. Anduin questioned the purpose of this, as destroying everything would never take away the pain of their suffering.
Sylvanas then informed him that he had misunderstood their intent, and that they sought to break the current system of Death and replace for one that is just. Shocked by this Anduin questioned if Sylvanas really expected him to believe, that after everything , that she was fighting for justice.
In response, she spoke of how their every decision was made for them and how the Jailer will give them control of fate. She then offered Anduin the choice to join them or be made to serve, causing Anduin to counter that she was denying him his free will, causing Sylvanas to inform him that they never had free will, but that was about to change.
Following the defeat and capture of Sire Denathrius , she questioned the Jailer on their plans to recover him. In response, the Jailer merely declared that every soul had its purpose, and that Denathrius had fulfilled his.
He then declared that it was time to forge their next weapon, causing her to remark that Anduin wasn't ready, and was subsequently reminded by her ally that they had gone to far for her falter.
She then approached Anduin, with a mourneblade in hand, and offered him one last chance to join them or be made to serve. However Anduin questioned why she kept giving the chance before deciding that she kept giving him one because it was the choice she never had. He then expressed his belief that there was still some shred of mortality haunting Sylvanas, as if the Banshee Queen hadn't entirely eclipsed the Ranger-General, that if she could make him give up hope, then she could too.
After hearing this, an outraged Sylvanas declared "Enough! However Anduin countered that he wasn't making it harder on himself, and then questioned what she would do with her power. In response, Sylvanas declared that she had come too far to falter now. This prompted Anduin to question why she hesitated and he further encouraged her to make her choice. In the end, Sylvanas made the choice to forcibly dominate Anduin and turn him into the Jailer's vessel.
The Jailer used his new champion to attack Kyrestia the Firstborne and claim her sigil —all five of which were required for him to complete his plan. Several night fae volunteered to act as decoys, disguising themselves as the queen in order to keep Sylvanas occupied until the Wild Hunt —aided by the other covenants—could push back the Mawsworn and focus their efforts on her, all while the real queen stayed behind to protect the Heart of the Forest. After she killed one of the decoys, Sparklepuff , Sylvanas was confronted by the Maw Walkers, Lord Herne , and their allies, but fended them off by violently entering banshee form and heading to the Heart of the Forest.
The Mawsworn stole several of the wildseeds from the weald's groves, and Sylvanas threatened to destroy them—and the souls within—if the queen did not surrender her sigil. The Maw Walkers and the covenants managed to save the seeds, and Sylvanas instead began opening a Maw portal to summon reinforcements for a final assault.
She managed to summon a massive charred behemoth , but it was immediately killed by Tyrande Whisperwind , now fully empowered with the strength of the Night Warrior. The two elves launched into a duel, with Tyrande pushing the advantage. She told Sylvanas that she would take her head, just as she had taken Nathanos '. Sylvanas had not realized that her champion was dead, and Tyrande mockingly told her that the Jailer was keeping secrets from her.
As they continued fighting, the Wild Hunt retreated to the Heart to defend against the Mawsworn, distracting Tyrande long enough for Sylvanas to flee in banshee form. Tyrande called on Elune 's power to leap into the sky after her, colliding with her and sending them both crashing into the ground. With her hands around the Banshee Queen's throat, Tyrande attempted to snap Sylvanas' neck.
In that moment, however, the Night Warrior's power suddenly waned and left her, allowing Sylvanas to escape the field. After successfully claiming four of the five sigils, the Jailer began enacting his plan to escape the Maw and steal the final key from the Arbiter in Oribos. Sylvanas personally commanded the Mawsworn defenses against the Maw Walkers who attempted to stop the Jailer by breaching his seat of power, the Sanctum of Domination.
Although unable to gain a clear advantage over the Maw Walkers and their allies— Bolvar , Thrall , and Jaina —she was able to stall them long enough for the Jailer to envelop Oribos in the Maw, ascend to the Crucible , and rip the last sigil from the Arbiter, restoring him to his full strength and allowing him to open a portal to his objective.
Sylvanas told him that they now had what they needed, but he revealed his actual goal: not to break the system of Death and give everyone free will, but to forge a new reality where all would be forced to serve him.
Remembering similar statements by Arthas, and realizing that she herself was included in that statement, Sylvanas declared "I will never 'serve'" and fired a black arrow at the Jailer in defiance. He easily deflected it and told her that it was a "pity" that she was still "chained by mortality". However, he added that since she had helped him regain what was stolen from him, he would repay her in kind.
He pulled a soul fragment out of a portal and launched it at her, restoring the fragment of her soul severed by Frostmourne many years prior—and causing her red eyes to turn back to blue. With Sylvanas no longer of any use to him, the Jailer left her fate in the hands of the Maw Walkers and their allies before departing with Anduin through the portal. Overcome by the blow, Sylvanas staggered to her knees and attempted to warn her attackers that the Jailer must not reach a location, but passed out before stating what the location was.
The Knights of the Ebon Blade subsequently took the unconscious Banshee Queen prisoner within Oribos in the hopes that they could interrogate her about the Jailer's plan. Lady Sylvanas Windrunner in Undercity. Battle with the Dark Lady can prove disastrous if certain steps are not taken to ensure the raid's survivability. Sylvanas now pulls with her Battlemasters regardless of which side of her platform is taken, and she engages with a Forsaken Bat along with a scaled Bragor Bloodfist and Aleric Hawkins as well as all of the Royal Dreadguards in the throne room.
Though Hawkins is easily disposed of, her other allies in the Royal Quarter are formidable and hit hard. The best tactic is to use two tanks, one to hold the Battlemasters and guard spawns and one to keep on Sylvanas and her skeleton minions.
Sylvanas uses a variety of abilities- her multi-shot, regardless of range, is capable of hitting up to ten targets at once for a moderately powerful k. She can use a DOT curse a special version of [ Black Arrow ] , to inflict shadow damage over 30 seconds on a random target. The potency of her summon skeleton ability has been increased, and now brings forth five level skeletons, but each has low health, so they are dispatched easily with AoE abilities.
She has also retained her [ Vanish ] ability, though even one application of [ Faerie Fire ] is enough to disallow her its use. When Sylvanas reappears after vanishing, she will begin using [ Multi-Shot ] on random targets until her tank picks her up again.
Due to the large amount of enemies, speed is a key factor in downing the Dark Lady. Focusing on her over her allies, while a second tank holds them, is the best strategy to employ. Sylvanas was often considered the most powerful faction leader , having battled alongside Varimathras until Wrath of the Lich King. More recently, this position has been disputed by the encounter with Varok Saurfang. Sylvanas' downfall is the objective of [ Downing the Dark Lady ]. Sylvanas, like most capital city leaders , has a 2-hour respawn timer after being killed by an Alliance raid.
However, you may have to face the battlemasters more than once, as they have a respawn timer of min. Sylvanas has additional abilities to those she uses during her World of Warcraft encounter. In her early life, Sylvanas was a prodigious ranger , proud and vain—and pragmatic. As the ranger-general , Sylvanas, like many of the quel'dorei , held the belief that it was a mistake to teach magic to humanity ; [] though she was also of the opinion that Quel'Thalas would do well to coexist with the other races of the world, and to practice tolerance.
Sylvanas' ambiguous relationship with her pupil, the human Nathanos Marris , may have shaped this belief or have been the result of it. Death, however, would give Sylvanas a highly different outlook on life.
In death, Sylvanas was motivated, for the most part, by revenge; and later, a drive to survive that would later evolve into a drive to conquest and empowerment. Sylvanas is a highly cunning and capable administrator, having built up a nation from nothing to one of Azeroth 's most powerful and feared factions.
Though she has forged alliances, she has consistently kept her allies ignorant of her true motives. Sometimes this provides an advantage when dealing with more volatile allies , though it has contributed to her being blamed for actions that were not her own. Sylvanas makes little distinction between friend and foe; if you do not stand with the Forsaken, you stand against them.
She does, however, pay some amount of respect to her own soldiers, commemorating them through their insignia or attempting to rescue survivors of a battle. The moment she was raised as a banshee, Sylvanas lost the ability to truly feel any emotion besides anger and hate, [] [] [] which now fuel her in undeath the way breathing or food fueled her in life, never abating [] [] save for when she is with Nathanos.
Sylvanas is a ruthless and creative military leader. She is not above using hostages , explicitly banned chemical weaponry , and enforcing morally dubious choices to put the Forsaken ahead in warfare. The lines between Sylvanas and the Lich King are still present, primarily in that she won't enslave undead as the Scourge does, [] but she knows how to exploit the confusion of freshly-resurrected soldiers to use them against their former brothers in arms.
Hints exist that Sylvanas has not been able to entirely cast aside her old life. She takes a special notice of Lor'themar Theron 's Thalassian , [19] sings a melancholic tune regarding the fall of her homeland, and expresses genuine emotion in regards to her sister after rediscovering a locket once gifted to Sylvanas by her elder sibling, which is still in the Dark Lady's possession.
Similarly, she called off a planned assassination of Alleria and Vereesa after working with them to retake Windrunner Spire, due to the latter expressing forgiveness for her own actions at Garrosh's trial, and indicating she still loved both her sisters. In Legion she is shown to be more willing to help the Alliance, at least against a common enemy, even fighting alongside Varian Wrynn whom she admits to having respected and even liked. In Battle for Azeroth this desire comes to fruition where she launches an assault aimed at toppling the Alliance as the first step towards Forsaken dominance.
More than anything she has displayed immense arrogance throughout the Fourth War, to the pointing of viewing everyone as little more than pawns, and becoming enraged when Saurfang managed to land a single scratch on her. As a living elf, Sylvanas had waist-length blonde hair that "flowed like water" and was "translucent in the light of the sun".
She took great pride in her appearance: It wasn't good enough to be the best hunter in her family. She needed to take everyone's breath away as she ventured out. She was so very vain. Lords from countless noble houses had sought her hand. Even Prince Sunstrider was said to have desired it. Repossessing her body as a banshee , Sylvanas now has pale, blue-white skin.
Her once-golden hair is now pale blonde [] or white-gold. Sylvanas still wears the same outfit she was wearing when she died, [] though its coloration has darkened. Oddly, her body bears no scars from the innumerable wounds she received on the day she died.
Her facial markings are tear stains that burned onto her skin when Arthas raised her. Sylvanas is an imposing figure, seemingly able to look down upon others even if they are taller than her.
Only Garrosh Hellscream was willing to look her in the eyes following her pact with the Val'kyr , and what he saw there startled even him. Lor'themar Theron described her thusly: In the hall where she stood, the light seemed to fade; it was not that it dimmed or dulled but that it collapsed and sunk into the space she occupied, as if even sunshine faltered around her.
Sylvanas' champion offers a more flattering view of her current appearance, describing her as resembling a queen in life and a "goddess" in undeath. He considers that while the classic elegance she once possessed has been lost in death, her undead form holds a dark allure that he finds captivating.
Nathanos believes that some hypocritical rulers of Azeroth's mortal kingdoms, who publicly despise her, in truth hold the same private fascination. Under her leadership the Forsaken have managed to not only fend off the Scourge , but also the Scarlet Crusade.
She has a certain mastery of leadership, military strategy, and the bow. Sylvanas is the best archer on Azeroth. Sylvanas succeeded in using her abilities as a banshee to repossess the body that belonged to her in life.
Sylvanas is NOT evil. She has simply evolved to a higher being and sees us and our lives as nothing more than stardust. She is doing what she is because she wants to change the world.
She is like the ultimate SJW who is breaking the system in order to bring us true equality. The evil part on the other hand has pretty much always been a thing, the issue is how they used it in BFA.
Back in wotlk sylvanas killed herself then came back thanks to the valkyrs and claimed that she would use all her mindless forsaken as pawns to protect her and never experience death ever again. Thinking Ion writes the story.
