    Stupid Question About Sylvanas

    Lore nerd here. But for some reason, I feel like I've been telling this bit of history so long that I almost think I made it up:

    Sylvanas is a banshee inhabiting her own corpse/body... right?

    I forget where or if I read this. But for the longest time when discussing lore with friends, I am always under the impression that Sylvanas defended Silvermoon to the best of her ability, died fighting Arthas (DK version), had her soul torn out and desecrated and thus became a banshee spirit by Arthas, committed atrocious acts, but once Arthas loss control while fighting Illidan was able to 'compose' herself as a banshee. ...... and then I think (correct me if wrong) she found her corpse and is pretty much possessing it?

    I think it is badass if she is truly a banshee possessing her slain corpse and that's why she can command a bunch of banshee powers and dark magics.

    But please, correct me if I am wrong. I forget.

    Yes, finding her body was mentioned in Silverpine and Chronicles questing I believe.

    I think in "Arthas" it was also stated that she prefers to use inhabit her body instead of floating around because she likes the feel of her feet on the ground/grass I thought that was a nice touch.

    She needed that corporeal body to do the dirty with her boy-toy Nathanos.

    Sylvanas was freed before that, when Illidan cracked the Frozen Throne.

    arthas preserved her corpse to continue to inflict pain and torture her. when illidan casted his spell and damaged the lk she was freed from the mindcontroll and somehow found the corpse and could possess it, at least in the book. in the game simply had the new model from the start of the expansion's missions

    She needed it to captivate an audience on the internet.
