    No she is not agreed but she has her personal interests in Gilneas and other places near Lordaeron. She has spread her people all over Gilneas, Tirisfal, Silverine, Hilsbrad and even Western Plaguelands. She will not do it for Hordes sake she will do that for herself. She will finish what she has started. All these are almost contaminated with Undead plague (Although Hillsbrad is less dumped). All these lands are Slowly becoming forsaken lands and Alliance is losing grip on them. She will just finish it .

    well the appearance of ghostland might suit the forsaken, I really, really don't want to see there nasty, tim burton themed cartoon towers and comedy halloween special housing in ghostland. Its as bad as seeing those piss ugly black metal towers that orcs are meant to have adopted under Garrosh's rule, there ugly and soulless.

    Sorry what? The Argent Crusade are quite content sharing administration of Western Plaguelands with the Forsaken. The only reason the Argent Crusade would ever consider throwing there toys out of the pram at Sylvanas, is if she intervened in the Eastern Plaguelands. As for the Ebon Blade, they are almost non-existent. Most capable Death Knights from the blade joined the Ashen Verdict. The rest defend there fortifications in Icecrown and Eastern Plaguelands.

    Sylvie doesn't really fit into the whole Kalimdor rebellion theme. Neither did Theron, to be fair, but they dedicated a patch and a half to showing his race come into their own in regards to it.

    Maybe Sylvanas will get a scenario in 5.4 to expel the Kor'kron from the UC; Kosak did mention that they want to do that if they have the time.

    I would assume Blizzard's previous statement of the two organizations keeping a "close eye" on her would have some bearing on a hypothetical situation like this, which is why I don't think they can simply be dismissed from the idea.

    And as far as their overall effectiveness goes, they were still strong enough to be the two driving forces in what was ultimately Arthas' downfall. Plus, you know. Ashbringer....

    I like Sylvanas as a character, I really do. But I think you guys are really overreaching with the direction you think she is going. There is almost no chance she would start an open war against the Alliance after SoO. The Horde will be pretty weakened for a while afterwards, and even though the Alliance will lose a lot, it's already been said by Blizzard they will come out of this as a more unified force. Combine that with the Kirin Tor, Argent Crusade, Knights of the Ebon Blade.. and I am pretty sure the Blood Elves would rebel against such acts as well.. Sylvanas wouldn't stand a chance, she'd be so utterly destroyed it wouldn't even be worth a story arc..

    She might be venturing into the grey areas recently.. but she is really not being built up to be this "Lich Queen", not gonna happen.
    Your persistence of vision does not come without great sacrifice. Let go of the tangible mass of your mind, it is only an illusion. There is no escape.. For the soul burns on everlasting encapsulated within infinite time. A thousand year journey at the blink of an eye... Humanity is dust..

    She wouldn't do battle after the siege, that's suicide. During it however, when the alliance forces are occupied, the alliance would more than happily surrender Gilneas over to the forsaken. With the Alliance fleet in Orgrimmar, Sylvanas will be almost un-opposed in the Eastern Kingdoms. They are the only race there with a sufficient navy. An attack on Stormwind harbour could devastate the city and almost force the alliance to surrender territory to her.

    I don't know what some of you are smoking. What's wrong with a Queen wanting what's best for her people? She's content with being able to keep the ranks of the Forsaken. So what if she's raising Alliance soldiers to become Forsaken Horde, they're dead anyways. I personally despise Stormwind Humans for forsaking them and having the nerve to call them monstrosities. If in real life your family would die, yet they would somehow come back, would u be happy at a second chance or call them monsters? Same goes with Death Knights. They were given a second chance at life, even in undeath. Instead of embracing it Humans turned their backs on them.

    Kosak has stated a few months ago that Sylvannas will have something to do with SoO. I guess we will have to wait and see.

    No you have skipped one important thing. When they come back as Forsaken they lose every common sense and become totally new persons. Like Sylvanass, Lillan Voss or Every Death Knight in starting quest. So no if in real life anyone close to me died I wouldnt like to see them rotting living. Without chin or smelly. I prefer to grave them properly like normal Human. That what makes us humans. I would not like to see someone with same visuals but totally out of control and lost in his personality. insane to say in other words.

    It would destroy me even more so no.

    Cant you see she lost every relation with her Sister Vareesa and it will be same with Alleria when she returns. Sylvanas is left alone forever. But still she is my 2nd favorite Leader in WoW.

    I never got the crazy love for Sylvanas, she's a walking corpse, but for some reason she's made to make any 14 year old oozz his pants at the sight of her. I'd think I like her more if she actually was a icky messed up corpse kinda thing. I just have hard time takin' her serious. I also think I missed out on where she got all this power from? Most of the faction leaders aren't demigods, nor is she.

    Anyway! I did love the bits they did do with her. I've always loved how the forsaken is more or less on their own, and the alligence with the horde was just out of conviniences, so it just makes it better when she does her own thing instead of falling in line all the time. I think she also got cheated alittle when it came the the whole LK ordeal. So it'd only be fair to let her have a small hand atleast, in the SoO stuff.

    Might not be of any significance, but the horde ships in one of the new scenarios are forsaken. I found that kinda interesting, as they could easily be orc ships or blood elf ships instead. Probably just reading too much into it :P

    I really hope we get to see more of the forsaken though, I never seem to get enough of them.

    Because writing that is awkward. She's not a part of this panda-orc fable. I even doubt that Kor'kron will leave Undercity. That's "too much work".

    Nelves, Humans, Goblins, Forsaken and Blood Elves are the only factions to have navies. Human and Forsaken being the largest of those, so it's by default that Blizzard would pick these two for the Scenario, but still it's quite interesting.

    Kor'Kron will almost defiantly leave Orgrimmar following SoO, if not then Blizzard better have an excuse to leave them in there.

    "Not all Kor'kron were evil" - there, done. NPCs stay on place, a serious lore explanation is done, Blizzard-style.

    The forsaken navy is just dredged up human ships and those ships still can pack a wallop

    The orcish ships seem to me to be just fast troop carriers not like those forsaken galleon that can carry a shit ton of cannons
