[Speculation] Confirmed that Sylvanas won't die in the Raid

[pewpmeiser]

Sylvannas' soul regrows the world tree and that leads us into the next expansion which involves the dragon isles.

[Sagenod]

Last PTR Build we got the Musics for patch 9.1.
As with all other patches before this implys that the release of the 9.1 Patch is very close (at the latest end of july).

However, today it was discovered that the Sylvanas Novel is officially delayed to February 2022
source: https://www.reddit.com/r/warcraftlor...ylvanas_novel/

This implys that what ever happens in the Novel, has significant spoilers about Sylvanas AFTER the 9.1 patch.
Since the Novel will now release with the Blizzonline 2022 and probably right before patch 9.2 or after, it's more than clear that we will see more of Sylvanas after the Raid.

This is the only right conclusion! Otherwise it would make no sense to delay a Novel so much longer that was planned to be released anyway several months later after the raid. (original date was mid nov)

[Speculation] ... Confirmed? That's a bit contradictory is it not?

[Aucald]

The tag "[Speculation]" was added to the thread title because the original title was misleading. I removed "Officially" and replaced it with "[Speculation]" as the confirmation that Sylvanas does or doesn't die isn't official and only speculation on the OP's part. Now, with that hopefully explained, let's move on from discussing the thread title and actually discuss the substance of the thread itself.

Rastakhan did?

They will res him in a few patches. Look at how many times Ony, Nef, KT, Kael, ETC. have come back. It's a joke because bosses and people keep coming back, again and again.

Speculation and Confirmed in the same sentence

10/10

EDIT: Just saw Aucald's message. Doesn't make it any less funny tho

Yeah he might come back to life because 'De Other Side be too dangerious for ya, Rastakhan! Ya need ta return to ya homeland!' or something like that lol

[Alanar]

Jokes?

U are to late

At this stage, is anybody honestly expecting that Sylv gurl is going to be killed for good in the raid?

[Chonar]

Even if she were to die in the raid, some lore character would kill steal anyways.
Also I can't help but hope she actually dies only to be back 2 scenes later, with everyone acting surprised, only for her to say "Where was I gonna go, Detroit?"

The real answer is oblivion, non-existence. But I like your idea better.

Eh tbf, she'd have to die 3 more times for that. She still has her 3 remaining Val'kyr, then she would have to die again since she's still "alive" (Bastion has Forsaken souls so apparently being undead and then dying still sends you to the shadowlands) and only after that would oblivion be next.

Nah I’m pretty sure we kill those in the raid. They are bosses. So she won’t have her protection after this.

Boss is here

Ah well, two times then.

[Ethas]

She allegedly should rule the whole of Shadowlands at this point.

Didn't she die when she was undead? During the Silverpine quest? So she doesn't have any extra life

Those were the first to sacrifice themselves for her. She had 9 in total (one took her place when she killed herself in Icecrown, 3 died in Silverpine, one in Andorhal, one in Darkshore, while the final 3 remain and will apparently be bosses in the new raid. But at this point they're still technically there to serve as a 1UP, though that will be gone after their bossfight anyway).
