Uther could serve as a mentor to Sylvanas.
“In fact, [Uther] can serve as something of a guide for her through that process; he had no one to help guide him, but Uther understands what it is like to go through something like that, and you’ll see how maybe he can help guide Sylvanas through those treacherous waters.”
Tyrande - Sylvanas, unclear what will happen.
“I would say those two figures have a lot to – I don’t know if ‘resolve’ is the right word, because can you ever resolve something that happens on the scale of an entire civilization nearly being wiped out? There is going to be some very heavy interaction between those characters, and that is pivotal to the final conclusion of how ‘Eternity’s End’ and the Shadowlands saga wraps up.”
I look forward to the future threads of, “Wow Blizzard, so the bad girl needs a man to get her life in order, huh? What a message to send to your audience!”
Translation: “We hadn’t planned for this but damn, people will NOT let it go…”
Nobody complained loud enough about Sylvanas completely getting away with the last few genocides she attempted so they naturally assumed she was in the clear for this one too
“We gave you guys 8.1, the, ‘Terror of Darkshore.’ That wasn’t enough so we let Tyrande kill Nathanos, which totally sucked, by the way, so you’re welcome. You kept harping on about it so we let Tyrande look kinda cool against Sylvanas in 9.1. What MORE do you guys want?!”
She’ll get a tea party with Tyrande during which Tyrande will only add ONE cube of sugar to Sylvanas’ tea. With her revenge obtained, Elune will then promptly kill Tyrande, and she will appear in Ardenweald with her soulshape that of a shrew.
Maybe this is like an episode of the Twilight Zone and Sylvanas is actually in hell right now, because she desperately wants someone to slay her and end her existence so she keeps on doing more and more evil things thinking “surely they’ll have to kill me for this” but everyone keeps turning the other cheek no matter what she does.
Those threads won’t be coming from me, I personally love the idea of Sylvanas and Uther interacting. I’ve been excited for this since Halls of Reflection.
I guarantee you that’s their actual position on the matter. It was crystal clear that the Burning of Teldrassil was only ever meant to be a shocking pre-launch event. Ever since then it’s only been a big CYA with the small dabs of story here and there. I’ll never forget that WELL into BfA they said in an interview that they were coming up with ideas of where the night elves could live post-Teldrassil. Which implies that they gave it no thought at all when they came up with the Burning.
