Sylvanas: Forsaken
6
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, formerly styled "the Dark Lady" and "the Banshee Queen", is the former Warchief of the Horde and former supreme ruler of the Forsaken, a faction of undead who broke away from the the control of the Lich King. In life, Sylvanas was the ranger-general of Silvermoon and bravely defended Quel'Thalas from the Scourge invasion led by the death knight Arthas Menethil in the Third War.
Around Right after the meeting, Sylvanas summoned her dark rangers, and together they went to Deatholme in search of her body. Sylvanas found her body locked into a coffin as requested by Arthas to further torment her, as well as her bow. She then prepared a special poison with woundwood and troll poison and tested it on a bear. The dreadlords planned on killing Arthas within the capital, but Sylvanas created a contingency plan in the case of Arthas' escape. She arranged for her banshees to feign allegiance and escort him through woods to a field where she would be waiting for him. After Arthas survived the dreadlords' ambush and escaped the capital, Sylvanas' loyal sisters saw him to the arranged place and then killed his bodyguards.
Sylvanas thought that punishing Arthas would absolve her of the crimes he had forced her to commit against her people during the invasion of Quel'Thalas. Hiding in the shadows, she struck him with an arrow she had crafted — a venomous sting that would paralyze him. Arthas was furious at her betrayal and demanded that she finish him. But Sylvanas refused to show him the mercy of a quick death and intended to make him suffer — as he had made her suffer in undeath. She was about to begin her grisly work with a dagger in her hand but was stopped by a female shade and the arrival of Kel'Thuzad and his undead army. Sylvanas and her banshees were forced to flee but vowed to never stop hunting Arthas.
Having carved out an alliance with the Horde, the Forsaken looked to expand their ever-growing empire of undeath.
