Look at the cinematic and pictures of when Sylvanus approaches the Jailor.
Look at the Jailor’s crown.
Now, look at the Helm of Domination. (Lich King’s Helm)
The gems mirror each other.
Are they connected? Did the Lich King get his power from the Jailor? Was the power stolen by the burning legion, or was it always intended to give this power to its wearer with the blessing of the Jailor?
Are undead an abberation of the machine of death? Was the helm of domination made as a band aid to control and contain an incompatible anomaly in the grand design?
Arthas and Ner’Zhul were obviously not meant to have it, but when they did, the Jailor didn’t stop it. When Bolvar had it, the Jailor sent Sylvanus?
Maybe there is no connection…but honestly it seems like the gems tie the two pieces, and consequently, their wearers, together somehow, like a shunt/tap from a main power line.
What’s Sylvanus’s game? Break Bolvar’s source of power over undead so she can get promoted over him to an aspect of death? If anything in the universe has the ability to promote her to godhood in the pantheon of death, I’d think the Jailor would be it.
Seriously though, why have I not seen anyone discussing this yet? I know I am not more observant than the lore jockies in this forum.
Lore jockie here. Simply put there is not enough info at this time to do anything more than wild speculation, which is really the only thing you’re gonna get right now.

The original story was that demons made the crown. Then story is being changed to say that they stole it from the shadowlands.

Idk they drew him that way.
sylvanas beat him and his army without breaking a sweat i don’t think we have to bring gender into this.
I like the ones who made it to the water.
I believe in the theory that the Jailer once ruled Maldraxxus, until the Burning Legion came, chained him, and stole the armor to create the Lich King who dominated the powers of Maldraxxus in place of the Jailer. Because the helm was outside the Shadowlands though, the moment it broke the connection was severed and the power vacuum ripped open the Shadowlands.
The Helm of Domination was created in Torghast, within the Maw. It pulls its power from something…
