If that is the case. I say we do a good old fashion book burning.

Alleria never was RG, she refused the position. She wanted to be Ranger Captain because it offered her more freedoms.
As eldest it was expected of her but she took the bow but not the job.
Sylvanas was better suited to it anyways, and earned the position, it seems.

Her earlier books are better, like Arthas, they tend to go downhill later on.
Oh, I swear it was Alleria. Apparently it was their mom? I imagine her death probably had a role to play, then.

Yeah Lyreesa was RG, she died in the 1st war. She was thier mother.
Little brother Lirath also died, in the second war I think, they may retcon when, they have bee fuzzy with timeline stuff, but heâs in the Three Sisters comic.

People complained about âorc overloadâ from WoD. She was tolerable in Legion because she only showed up at the start and Stormheim (and to yell at Horde players to take Warden Towers), but then itâs all of BFA and all of ShadowlandsâŠ
Itâs like⊠enough. Please. Sheâs not Kerrigan. I donât get to delight in her villainy the same way as I did with the Queen of Blades in Brood Wars.
Either way, Iâm sitting on exactly 1 week of subscription time remaining and I have no intention of resubbing. Iâma let people enjoy the Sylvapalooza who enjoy her vague nonsense and her general air of existing between plot branches at any given time, but Iâm gonna give that a hard pass unless sheâs permakilled in the raid (which Iâd definitely bet against).

These forums are reacting the way I thought they would.
Iâm actually interested in this book, retcons or not.

The Windrunner name was a prestigious name and I think they all tried to uphold their legacy. I think Vereesa and Sylvanas were always close. Alleria seems more distant. I think it was devastating to Sylvanas when Vereesa backed out of joining her in Undercity. I think it was as fundamental to the development of her character as Arthas.

Absolutley and the Gathering must have felt like a slap in the face after the events of the Three Sisters comic.

Its just ⊠it would gross me out so much if Anduin of all things is what brings her back from that edge?
Like, no, young Brad Pittâs sensitive eyes should not be the motive for such a change, given her commitment to her twisted ideology. And âturning him intoâ Arthas, should not be âher point of no returnâ to make that âpivitol choiceâ. It was Teld for goodness sake. That was her thematic âForgotten Shoreâ moment. The choice she made that committed to her path, even if there were misgivings later one. She made her choice, as it appears she made her choice with Anduin in 9.1.
It is time for Sylvanas to own the choices sheâs made if nothing else.

Hey, Iâll buy it and enjoy it, Iâm just not going to take it too seriously, since everything about Sylvanas is always subject to retcons within what seems like a few months of reveal. Itâs okay to admit to liking something just because itâs gone so weird that itâs comical. Why be ashamed?
Blizzardâs Sylvanas obsession is just a phase, much like with Anduin nowâas well as Thrall, Jaina, and Malfurion in the past. The Anduin and Sylvanas stuff is crazy heavy, but itâll pass in time.

I would literally ascend into the Heavenly Sphere of Saturn, gaze upon the wretched depravity of humanity, and willingly fling myself into Hell via stripper pole like Lil Nas X in Montero.

I agree, and she had the empathy for the Forsaken to allow it to happen even though she had her doubts. Having Calia there and revealing herself was wrong. Anduin knew it too. His bones were telling him so. She kept her word though and did not harm any Alliance citizen.

So,
Theyâre going to take the originally patchy story that they then retconâd and further retcon it into its final retconâd form? So that all the WoWpedia articles get updated with this new version of the story and future generations wonât remember what an absolute clusterf**k this plot was?
That about right?

That whole situation was so multi layered. Like you knew what was gonna happen and how defensive sheâd get after Varimathras.

A messier version of Arthasâs novel, but yeah.
The Desolate Council was also loyal to her. She didnât force them to be, she allowed them to govern themselves.

Until you know, she murdered all of them(Or at least had them conveniently eliminated)âŠbut yeah, weâll ignore that I guess
Which is a noticeable problem for those who get too close to Sylvanas. You wind up dead or discarded
