How did Jailor get Sylvannas' "other half"?

[Aucald]

You forgot the third half we interact with in ICC. And the fourth half in WPL. So the mathematically correct conclusion here is that Frostmourne first duplicates a soul, then shatters the two souls and then through some soul-magic scattershit they end up all over the place.

Well, I think the "halves" thing was a misnomer to begin with, so the potential for multiple fragments is still in play. But insofar as that goes, I think part of Uther's soul was saved by the Light and ultimately sent to Bastion, and part of the soul was taken in by Frostmourne. The part in Frostmourne would've been the source of the echoes that we encounter in ICC and the HoR, and either the Bastion portion or the Frostmourne portion could've (somehow) appeared at his tomb when summoned. Whether or not the portion in Frostmourne was itself fragmented is subject to debate depending on whether or not Frostmourne is itself an extrusion of the Maw beyond the Shadowlands, or if Zovaal was somehow able to tear away soul fragments from Frostmourne's prisoners unbeknownst to its current wielder (like a third party skimming power off the top, we'll say). I think the latter construction is more probable and would explain how we encounter the souls of Halakh and Gavinrad in the Citadel during Legion and why Zovaal has fragments of their souls in his Ossuary.

TL;DR:
- Uther was splintered by the twin forces of the Light and Frostmourne and a portion of the remaining soul in Frostmourne was taken by Zovaal.
- Sylvanas was taken by Frostmourne, had a portion of her soul removed, and the Frostmourne portion removed to become a Banshee.
- The rest of the souls were absorbed into Frostmourne, and fragments of their souls were taken by Zovaal.

Maybe youve noticed a Banshee Queen walking around WoW for the last 15 years lol :P

I thought she saw nothing but blackness when she ''died'' after Arthas?

She saw peaceful afterlife when she dies to arthas.

The blackness was after she killed herself after ICC.

Yes but this also suggests Forsaken aren't really undead. The tainted grain just mutated them as when they die they just go to the Shadowlands like normal, IE we see Forsaken souls in Bastion as forsaken, not human.

But then that makes Valkyr Forsaken even more confusing. This lore is a real mess.

Forsaken makes sense, they should be in the Shadowlands after their first death as Humans, but instead are forced to come back as Forsaken. The grain kills them before they become Forsaken afaik. They get sent to the Shadowlands if they die as Forsaken however, unless resurrected by outside influences. An example of this would be someone like Lich King Arthas using his powers to bring a Forsaken back again as a Death Knight by forcing their soul back into their body to serve him.

Frostmourne claimed her soul, just like Uthers and a bunch of others.

Uther's soul that stayed in Frostmourne and Sylvanas's soul that was put in her body can be comparable.

So Uther's soul that went to Kyrian land(already forgot the name of the place) and Sylvanas's that went to the Jailer would also be comparable.

Correct me if im wrong(i haven't played since launch) Uther also has a soul fragment that the Jailer had, but we know that Uther's soul in frostmourne can't be it, because he appeared after Frostmourne broke and we talk with him, pretty sure that soul is still on Azeroth(long forgotten by this team).

so it's all really just some bullshit that doesn't match up with uther and a bunch of others.

Well, there are no "halves" in play here, really. When Arthas slew Sylvanas with Frostmourne, a portion of her soul wound up in the Maw as the Jailer's trophy and the remainder was extracted and twisted into a Banshee that eventually became the Sylvanas we've known all the time.

so how did a portion of Uther's ended up in the maw, portion end up in Kyrian place and a portion stay in Frostmourne?

I assume what this is implying is the souls that were taken by frostmourne is what the Jailer got, because Bluther clearly isn't the one that was claimed by Frostmourne. However the Uther soul claimed by frostmourne was freed and stayed awhile to talk to us on Azeroth and presumably is still there and supposedly there's still souls trapped in Frostmourne aswell, so him having those soul fragments doesn't make sense, but he does have a fragment of Uther making there be 3 uther's now.

Frostmourne took Sylvanas' soul and it was put right back into her body, so that should be the fragment the Jailer got and the good version of her should be running around with Bluther, but it's on the Maw...

it dont make no sense
