Some Settings and Issues Related to the Heroine
Because the setting is not the plot of the main universe, but a parallel world, the plot about Sylvanas is very different from the original timeline. This chapter mainly talks about this and Sylvanas' own things in this timeline (for example, things like Val'kyr that only exist after being related to the Shadow Realm no longer exist, and there is no power of the Maw to strengthen her)
Body: Sylvanas is dead, but her body will not rot (from Sylvanas' novel)
Aesthetics: Sylvanas's aesthetics are very strange. The novel says that she likes Nathanos to a large extent because he is different from the elves, rude, unkempt, ugly, and speaks interestingly... Then Sylvanas treats him differently, especially after discovering that he is also good at archery, she even promoted him to the Ranger Lord. (Although he is a foreigner)
Even after the undead Nathanos regained his sanity, he said to Sylvanas, "I have become ugly? Maybe it will attract Sylvanas more.
So Sylvanas's aesthetics don't care whether you are handsome or not, there is nothing wrong with orcs!!! Nathanos's face is so ugly that even ghosts would say it's ugly (I remember a Forsaken NPC complained about his appearance). The face of the player orc is at least as good as Nathanos, or even better looking.
Abilities:
Sylvanas can transform into a banshee, but she prefers the form of a dark ranger.
Sylvanas can release the banshee wail in the ranger form, which is a large-scale aoe, and can even be used when talking normally, and the effects include fear and silence casting.
Like other banshees, she can use possession to permanently control the body of others, and can also leave in spirit state.
Banshees can use the abilities of the possessed person. If you are a spellcaster, the banshee can also use your body to cast spells. Note that during this period, the possessed person is either dead or will not lose his memory, or his soul is suppressed by the banshee.
In addition, I won't talk much about abilities such as archery.
The mind control in the previous article was written by me based on the skills in the storm, because Sylvanas in World of Warcraft also has skills in the storm such as withering shot and shadow dagger, so I added a setting for her to be able to control precisely.
Note: The mind control I'm talking about here is the kind of mind control that priests have, not the body control of banshees.
In addition, since there is no Val'kyr, Sylvanas does not have the ability to resurrect the dead.
Personality: Before the death of the Lich King, Sylvanas' only goal was revenge. After the death of the Lich King, the motivation for her to live was her younger brother. She is a complete brother control, although in the original timeline she often dated Nathanos and forgot about her younger brother for a long time.
Sylvanas will not force the undead to enslave, she prefers to use the confusion and confusion in the hearts of the resurrected undead to induce.
The NPCs that the player Forsaken encountered in the Deathstroke Town mission are proof of this.
Initially, Sylvanas only regarded soldiers as her arrows, but this does not mean that they are completely cannon fodder. The proposal of the Great Apothecary to use the Forsaken as experimental subjects to develop the plague was rejected by Sylvanas. She used the death row prisoners among the Forsaken to conduct this research instead. In addition, all kinds of behaviors show that Sylvanas' attitude towards the Forsaken is: Even if you are consumables, only I can consume you. I will not let the Forsaken die in vain, and I will even be proud of the Forsaken. (Her identification has been more inclined to the Forsaken)
Faith:
Ordinary Forsaken have a fanatical belief in Sylvanas. In their eyes, Sylvanas is a savior-like status. The tribe generally greets or bids farewell with her name. "The Dark Queen is watching you" has become a part of the Forsaken culture.
In their eyes, Sylvanas can be said to be a "living god".
Appearance: Sylvanas is very beautiful and has a strong aura. She is very proud of her appearance. It is not enough to be the best hunter in the family. She wants everyone who sees her on the adventure to stop for her. She was vain about it.
Even by the standards of the high elves, the second of the three Windrunner sisters was a beauty picked out of a thousand. Countless noble lords had pursued her. It is said that even Prince Sunstrider was tempted.
Age: Unlike many people who think that Sylvanas is a few thousand or hundreds of years old elf, it is known that in the first chapter of Sylvanas' official novel, when Alleria was about to undergo the test, Lor'themar said that when they met last time, Sylvanas was still training with a children's bow until her birthday, when she changed to a brand new bow and arrow.
And this chapter used short legs to describe her, indicating that she is not very old.
Chapter 2 said that the song Sylvanas listened to at the banquet came from the Troll War period three thousand years ago, and she was considered too young at the banquet.
Not long after, Sylvanas became a ranger general, and there might be a span of several years when Lilas learned to play.
When meeting Nathanos in Chapter 7, he said that the trolls already had a tendency to ally with the orcs.
And the orcs allied with the trolls four years after the opening of the Black Gate.
So Sylvanas is set to be a young elf in her 20s at this time.
20 years after the Dark Portal, Sylvanas died in battle, and 28 years after the Dark Portal, the Cataclysm storyline began. Sylvanas should not be more than 50 years old at this time.
According to the plot of Warcraft, 50 years old is not considered old among humans, after all, 50-year-old orcs are still active in Azeroth.
Others:
Sylvanas is very cold, literally, where he is is like a black hole, swallowing up the surrounding sunlight. (From Lor'themar's short story)
The color of Sylvanas' eyes and hair after death is different in many novels, and I prefer the red eyes and dull blonde hair in the game.
Note: The novel describes Sylvanas as having black or white hair after death, and silver or white eyes, which only turn red when she is angry.
Sometimes Sylvanas speaks like she is flirting or teasing, just like when the player clicks on her.
In the original timeline, Sylvanas asked to join the Alliance, but was rejected, and her messenger was not even allowed to approach the Alliance's sphere of influence. (From her personal official novel)
The Kingdom of Quel'Thalas kept a distance from Sylvanas, and they did not form an alliance in this timeline, and the Forsaken implemented an isolation policy.
(Because no one wanted it)
Sylvanas could not ride ordinary beasts, so her mount was usually a skeleton horse.
Finally, I want to say that the settings of Sylvanas in these versions are really weird.
Almost one setting for each version, and it was even worse in the ninth version, so I set the queen not to commit suicide here because I don't want to write about the things in the Shadow Realm.
