I missed this before. At 1:15, look at her hand. It is the black magic she used to kill Saurfang. It swirls around for a second and disappears. I think that is a neat detail that was easily missed.
Garrosh called her a "clever &*!@#." Not Thrall, not ever Thrall.No other leader within the Horde is or has been so misog.
"Sylvanas won't be a Garrosh 2.0." Said by Blizzard at least 20 times since BFA started. I am still waiting to see how she won't be because that's literally where every single step leading us.
The circle is closed, now the faction leaders are the same we had in Vanilla.
There will be three factions in the next expac. Horde, Alliance, ?
If there are factions now that the circle is broken they will just be a symbol, a new faction doesn't make sense.
So I'm not going to quote this person cause it was dumb, but Sylvanas is not a mary sue. First, the rank of General of any kind isn't just handed out for fun. Second, she probably trained almost all of her immortal life and that know how and reflex didn't just leave her when she died. It is a part of her. Third, it has been stated that her body is nigh indestructible. The only thing that has managed to pierce her body was saronite spikes when she flung herself from Icecrown after Arthas was defeated. Fourth, she is probably ridiculously strong for two reasons; Undeath, which would remove any natural limitations the body would put on itself out of preservation, and the ritual she did to unite back with her body and any other ritual afterwords cause of her massive knowledge of magic. Her body was preserved for the most part because Arthas knew that flesh meant nothing in death and to truly torture Sylvanas for being a pain he would do unspeakable horrible things to the one thing that would last forever, her soul. He kept her body as further insult.Yes I was a little put off by her saying the Horde is nothing. It is an emotional response cause I, in reality, am a living being with all my emotions intact. We know undeath does something to emotions, but until someone is reborn into undeath by a demonic created plague we will never know. As far as the history of the Forsaken in game, most of us do not feel any tie with the living world. We are despised and shunned and everything that we ever loved was murdered or was bastardized by Arthas. The allegiance with the Horde was mostly out of necessity and not because we cared. Time doesn't heal wounds it just makes us accustomed to the pain and time made most of us, Forsaken, value the pact that was made to bring us into the Horde. Sylvanas does care about the Forsaken. She always has and she always will. I went back after cata and did some of the quests in Silverpine and I still remember the speech she gave on our way to the Sepulcher. She has always been fighting and caring for us in some way, shape or fashion. I don't recall seeing Calia riding around trying to figure out what happened to her home and her people.(Yes I played in vanilla and I remember it very well) Not all Foraken fell the same about her. They see Sylvanas as this undeath thing that should be reviled. They are unable to even accept themselves. This led to splinter in Forsaken ranks because they only called themselves Forsaken in name. Unable to let go of the life that was actually dead. Being a veteran I can understand that during a time of war a splinter group within your ranks could get you and everyone else killed. They put their own wants first over the security a united front would bring. The same could be said for all those other traitors. I don't know what Sylvanas wants. I don't know her end game, but from what she has said the pieces are still falling into place. I do know that I am Forsaken and Sylvanas Windrunner is my Queen. This has been my Ted talk.. :D
Brave, honourable fool till the end, just like in The Ahn'Qiraj War, also called the Second War of the Shifting Sands and the War against the Lich King, like father like son,
Some people are loyal to others that deny them in real life so...
Why are they writing Syl out of the game basically? Is a powerful and popular woman too scary for them?

I'm glad traitor Saurfang is dead but remain disappointed, but not surprised, in the continued terrible storyline of BFA not improving. I predicted all of this months ago, Sylvanas being some probably-controlled by dark gods and leaving the horde, oh let's make peace between alliance and horde kumbayah nonsense (before they come up with another reason to fight in the next xpac again), let's pick another horde leader we will kill off in 1-2 Xpacs from now (probably Baine).Way to have written one of the most popular horde side characters into the dust in just over a year. This is why I play classic.
Stay of Execution complete and turned in to Lorthemar...No further quests with the patch drop.Something else required to get the ball rolling again?
