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.

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.
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-
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.

And the pre-Cata Linken questline, one quest there involves the player character dying and talking to a ghost NPC near a Tanaris graveyard. :3
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)
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)
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.

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.
This thread ebbs closer to definitely horde baiting.
Here is something to believe in!
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.
They won't kill Sylvanas they gotta get that creepy fanboy money.
