Why do people add an “n” to my name all the time?

Just for you, I fixed it. Asking the real questions here.

Death is behind everything and Sylvanas assumed that her boss just got lucky that Vol’jin was poisoned and was upset that the Loa decided to make her Warchief unaware that her boss was responsible.

Gul’dan was aware which was no surprise since the Legion made deals with Helya to hand Illidan’s Soul to her.

The Twilight’s Hammer, Il’gynoth and Gul’dan all mention Death and Helya has been connected to Death by the Vrykul so it seems Death has hijacked every Villain Faction leaving N’Zoth with nothing but Naga, K’thir and Sleepless!

I’m assuming that this particular story beat of Sylvanas serving some Death Entity is a recent development and not something you can find clues for in the Frozen Throne manual.

So figuring out how long she’s served Malthael wouldn’t have an answer until one is provided for us by Blizzard. If we’re trying to guess, then probably since Legion where she probably struck some weird bargain with some strange being for an odd reason.

While Blizz has built an incredible amount of depth into their story delivery beginning with WoD but I think y’all are giving them entirely too much credit for foresight.

As with nearly nearly every major, long-standing character, there will undoubtedly be perforations which don’t quite fit the adjusted mold.

Since Before the Storm.

That’s the moment where her current character arc began. You can certainly find things before that which, in hindsight, can potentially be interpreted as suggesting it began sooner, but that’s just jamming pegs into holes.

Sylvanas is undead. It’s not honest to point to every time her name was mentioned in the same sentence as the word “Death” as evidence that she’s been in the pocket of some esoteric necrogod this whole time.

I’m more intrested in what Sylvanas’ end goal is in serving death.

Probably staying alive. That has always been her goal.
Staying alive, killing everyone and raising some into undead to serve her master

I still hope we get to kill her

Id say after Genn screwed her chance at immortality. She feared death until very recently in BFA you see her attitude change that all will serve in death and so forth.

When Genn destroyed the soul cage I think he forced her hand so she turned to darker ways to get what she wanted.

If you think she has any master but herself you are fooling yourself. She may be working with a death entity but her goal is to usurp its power for herself.

Well, at this point anything is possible tbh.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if they somehow redeem her and make her the new illidan. I already get angry just thinking about it.

since around legion’s release IRL, probably a bit after the alpha when the lead writer left.

Now that’s an interesting point of view.

Aren’t they already doing that with Azshara? We’re being blamed for screwing up her millennia-long plan to kill N’Zoth.

It’s probable. There’s a flashback to a conversation she had with Azshara, with Azshara saying that she was as devoted to her master as Sylvanas was to hers.

BtS, specifically when she touched the azerite.

“This will change everything”, her entire persona/goals seemed to shift from smaller-scale political and material goals (sacking stormwind, raising them as forsaken, distributing the rest to the other horde races) to thinking on a galaxy brain cosmic scale immediately after.

Whatever her plans were before azerite, they shifted into overdrive on a cosmic scale immediately after she touched it.
