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.
