    A certain Menethil girl comes to mind. Her "first death" might be either when her kingdom died or when her husband/daughter died. Second one is obvious. And since she's a light-undead, a 3rd death could quite possibly create some havoc.

    Well, yeah. Any theory will line up if you choose to ignore the evidence that contradicts it.

    Velen is an avatar of Sargeras, prove me wrong.
    The reports of my death were surprisingly well-sourced and accurate.

    I feel like the "third death" thing was going to be Sylvanas, but someone pointed out between the novel, arthas, and Silverpine, she's already used that up, and so they added Alleria's line in Stormwind.

    Doesn't mean she can't die though. She has a viable replacement.

    Line is very clearly referring to Azeroth, not Sylvanas.

    Its even foreshadowed again in Tyrande's response to Illidan's message

    In my lifetime, I have twice witness a sundering of the world. Mother moon, I pray I do not see a third.

    As per the Windrunner reunion comic, we know that Void isn't exactly keen on Sylvanas. Chances are, going by the specific remarks, it's because Void can't control undead and, when combined with their nature, undead are in stark opposition to what the Void desires. That throws any Alliance brilliance about how Sylvanas (and Vol'jin) have been manipulated by the Old Gods/Void all of the window.

    As such, she wouldn't do it on her own. Because if it requires her dying, yeah, Sylvanas isn't going to sacrifice herself for the glory of the Void. Especially after she called Alleria an abomination due to being infused with it.

    Which leaves the option of the aforementioned Void outbreak being an automatic result of her third death. Which leads to the questions I asked at the start. How would Sylvanas' third death automatically lead to it? Why would it be the case? Other than Void's antagonistic behavior towards her, likely due to the reasons outlined above, there is no connection between the two. No piece of information suggesting Sylvanas is some sort of Void key, or who would turn her into that.
    I mean, unless there was some way she's secretly holding back the Void from invading, it would make no sense.

    If it's someone who's opposed to the Void that would bring them in by dying, it would mean they have to be powerful enough to hold off the Void from invading. Which I'm pretty sure there are no characters that could be that strong.

    And as you say here-

If further empowered by her new masters, on much larger scale.

    Hell, now that Alleria is Void's beacon to Azeroth, the Void Lords likely don't even need N'zoth to succeed. The Void Lords already fully manifested in the physical plane before. It's just that they couldn't do shit against adult Titans and they had no clue where World Souls are and as such resorted to throwing Old Gods at random. Now Titans are sealed with Sargeras. As some Void weirdos say in BfA, the Legion kept the balance but now is no more. If the Void Lords could use Alleria as a beacon, they could appear on Azeroth directly and potentially corrupt it themselves. Or at least cover it in Old Gods from head to toe.
    It would make FAR more sense for this "third death" to be a descent into insanity, which would cause someone to summon the Void here.

    Although, now all I can't stop thinking of is how the Void's hate for the undead, and holy, must mean that the undead are the secret weapon against the Void, and we need to lightforge them all. And the thought of that as a story makes me feel a lil sick.

    Azeroth is out as well, besides the Sundering, the shattering and Sarg’s sword, there was also Y’Shaarj being ripped out of Azeroth, which caused at least as big an injury as Sargeras’ pocketknife, which makes 4 “deaths” in all (That theory stretches the term “death” a fair bit as well)

    They're talking about killing characters off for good. Physically, not metaphorically. Final. Removed from the story. Only question is whether or not they are talking about her.

    Blizzard has always sayed this kind of crap to keep people hooked in the outcome, do you remember the important role they were planning for Voljin after Pandaria? Well look how it turned out, even Garrosh could return in his AU Paladin form, Illidan returned and Arthas with Kelthuzad are getting a few mention here and there(classic tactic to prepare the field for their return)

    We will though proberly see some characters die in BFA, which have an obvious end. Who those people then turn out to be is a completly different topic.
    The entire facton conflict is ALWAYS a repetition of the exact same plot over and over and over and over. So this argument is not really valid. Everytime the faction conflict boils up, the leader of one side dies at the end. Every - single - time.

    The Blizzard quote says "not every death comes unexpectedly"....honestly, when i read that i litterally saw Sylvanas dying in front of me. Because at this point "it would be too predictable" is pretty much the only argument somebody can bring up to why she is not going to die in BFA.

    As for death count, there is already another thread about Sylvanas in Hell and if she actually died in Icecrown or not (i think not, which brings her death count down to 2). And equating "feeling like i have died" and "sundering" with an actual death is frankly stretching the words too far for me to follow.

    Vol'jin made Sylvanas warchief. That would have NEVER happened without him. It may be the single most unexpected and impatcful decision ANY warchief has ever made. You may not like that it was this one decision...but you cannot argue it was an immensely important one.

    Another thread where people get their panties in a twist over something they cannot predict. This is getting stupid.

    Saying that a leader always dies with a faction war does not make my argument invalid, because who says they are going to do it again? Just because they did something in the past, does not mean that they will do it again and as i argumented, it would seem lazy for them to redo their story from MoP.

    And yes, not every death comes unexpectedly, but that quote is not directed at Sylvanas or anyone specific at all. The storyline of BFA does not currently set Sylvanas up as an expected death, the Horde is still behind her and Saurfang is the only one directly in opposition with her. That quote can be aimed at many of the main characters and we will proberly see an expected death or 2 in BFA, and while Sylvanas might be one of them, it is far from certain.
    May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!

    Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.

    Yes it could have happened even in Wotlk because she was the 3 most notorious leader in the horde(Voljin and Theron were just background character). In fact she would have been a better warchieft than Garrosh because at that point she didnt even care about the alliance affairs and the valkyrs didnt existed, she probably would have worked for a peace treaty to focus in world ending events like Cataclysm and Lei Shen.
