Before I begin, I just wanted to get something off my chest, that I am getting a little sick of everyone comparing Sylvanas to real world villains, I just don’t think this appropriate, and besides there is no comparison. Sylvanas is a fictional character and it has nothing to do with real life stuff. Now when I defend Sylvanas in wow, you have to take several things into consideration, that in warcraft cosmology, there is an after-life, the soul continues on, so that puts in a different context, in the real world whether or not there is an after-life is a question that humans have been asking themselves since we’ve been doing rock-painting in caves.
So when I make a Sylvanas thread you need to take that into consideration. To make it very clear, I don’t support the socialist policies of crazy leaders in real life like, fact my political view is that this socialism that’s rising up in western society is brutal, ugly, and very cruel, and anyone that supports it does it out of ignorance, as why socialism talks about equality, in reality it means you have to justify your very existence as nobody will ever be 100% equal, as what people want is the overthrow of the social order to establish something they think is better than capitalism or whatever.
But Sylvanas is beyond that, mortal empires to her like the Horde are nothing. Everyone is literally nothing. Which is fine, as it means we are beneath her notice, though we can be quivers in her arrow if we choose to be. And if you think about it, everything is destined be nothing in the end. She is also 100% correct when she says nothing lasts, we are all destined to wither and decay eventually, which means that from oblivion we came, so to oblivion we return.
But what if…what if what she is doing, is gaining power, so we can completely break the cycle of death and rebirth? That we can live forever…that we will be completely eternal, never to die, to be free to rule the cosmos and all the heavens throughout the eons until the last star in the sky goes dark, what if that’s the reality of what she is up to?
To me, that is a universe worth fighting for, in a way it almost has a biblical ring to it, at the moment we are literally nothing just pretending to be soldiers in tin plate misguided by concepts of ‘honor’ and other rubbish but what if what Sylvanas is trying to do for us, is to make us…eternal. We will be as Gods. Immortal, and death itself will be forever conquered and become a thing of the past.
Who wouldn’t want to live forever? Never having to worry about death and being judged by some Arbiter. I have every reason to believe that this is what Sylvanas is truly up to.
Think about it.
