Reminds me of simpler times when Blizzard cared about their world, their characters, their stories and what defined these characters... I'm a huge lore guy and the entire story of the Highborne from the struggles against the Amani tribes and founding their glorious and prosperous kingdom Quel'thalas, to the downfall of the Sunwell at the hands of Arthas. To me, the depth behind how the Sin'dorei became who they are today, never ever ceases to touch my heart. Selama Ashal'anore, Remember the Sunwell.
It is amazing to think that this song was a reward of a quest, that many ppl would probably won't do, and 1 of the 8 races back then. I remember sitting next to Sylvanas waiting others to deliver this quest so I can listen it again..
I loved this song, on every horde character, I'd travel to Eversong Woods and find her necklace to turn it in. I found online a command you could type to have the music play in game. Beat most of Cataclysm, stopped at Mists of Pandaria, I hated how they changed the talent trees. I played a BE Paladin, Ret, but I took a few holy skills, 90% crit chance on WoG on low HP. Used to have a macro that would heal my targets, target, fun times.
Did the same thing just yesterday. I left WoW just when the BC got out, and it feels like a lifetime ever since I played this game. Take away all the Grind, the Struggle, and these remain, to tell me that this is a game worth playing.
@@Xxiev Some of what she did could be seen as battlefield pragmatism, like the use of Blight at UC. But torching Teldrassil, all the shit with Derek Proudmoore, and naturally her overstepping her bounds and trying to kill Baine only caused strife and/or caused the Horde to start to fracture.
@@Servellion Well, she wouldn've have torched Telperi- I mean, Teldrassil if Saurfang had done what was pragmatic and killed Malfurion when he had the chance. It's not like Saurfang had a chance in hell against Malfurion in a fair fight anyway.
One of my favorite memories of WoW was turning in (i think it was a pendant) to her in the Undercity and having her and her banshees break into song. i was in absolute awe as i sat there listening to this beautiful haunting hymm
Literally came her to listen better after doing that quest- specifically, it's a pendant Alleria gave her once that you can find in the ruins of Windrunner Spire, and her response is to be sad... right until she remembers her audience. Then she drops the amulet and pretends it meant nothing.
THE most memorable questing moment i ever experienced in WOW. Best quest ever made with such an awesome and unexpected ending. When she sings "Shindo fallar na" that means, "(We have) failed, enemies are breaking through", other than that the translation is spot on. The reason i think this song is so tragic is because i think it is some of the last things Sylvanas heard before she died. The song describes in a very gruesome and vague way what happened at the time of her death. The battlements where she fought her last battle against the scourge were overrun and she could hear the terrible screams of her fellow quel'dorei as they were being cut down by relentless waves of unending undead horrors. I can imagine the terrified high elf soldiers fighting during their last stand and yelling "By the light of the Sun, we have failed! The enemy has broken through!", the horror of seeing your comrades die all around you and the rivers of blood on the battlefield as the high elves kept falling back to another bullwark. These words are the last things that she heard on the battlefield before she faded out... "Shindo sin'dorei" - (We have) failed, children of blood That is the the verse she added later on when she made up the song, that IS her personal lament because in her mind she failed to defend her beloved homeland and stop the undead. She also blames herself and her inadequecies as a troop commander because she failed to save the soldiers under her command. A true heartwrenching story about the last moments of the high elves in their battle against the Scourge.
Indeed, it really is a song about fall of elves as the Scourge devours their ancient homeland. When i played WC3 back in the day, i didn't gave it much thought and the game doesn't exactly allows you to properly feel the gravity of Arthas's actions against elves. But later materials do a wonderful work of establishing of just how much Scourge and Arthas scarred the world beyond repair, how the High Elves will probably never recover from it. Warcraft really showed one of a kind story, the story about heroes rising to challenge and overcoming it, but also a story about loss, about great heroes falling in their quest and their attempts to do good backfiring in most terrible ways and causing irreversible harm to the world.
@@ismaeel747 High elvish I think it is called. It shows great similarities with Night Elvish because High Elves were Highborn Night Elves/Kaldorei (Children of the Stars) before going to the Eastern Kingdoms as exiled (for reasons explained in the lore). Most part of the remaining Quel'dorei (Highborne)/High Elves became Sin'dorei (Children of the Blood) also called Blood Elves.
My friend Arlen just died this morning from cancer. He loved this game. Can't to listen to this without tears. For you my friend. You are in a better place now.
I remember buying BC right after buying WoW so I could play a Blood Elf (Already tried an undead) and when I did the quest I was NOT expecting her to sing this in game. Made me look at my undead again.
It's called "The Lady's Necklace" and starts with an item that drops from banshees around Windrunner's Spire in Ghostlands. Later you deliver the necklace to Sylvanas and she sings this in game.
One of the greatest tragedies of the Warcraft universe. From Arthas' perspective, the taking of Quel'Thalas was just a hard-won victory over an enemy force, no different than when the Alliance defeated the Horde at the end of the Second War. But the Sindorei see what happened for what it truly was: an army of undead monstrosities committing wholesale slaughter upon an entire people. And one thing I absolutely love is that the Blood Elf starting zones culminate in you aiding the Forsaken and then meeting Sylvanas herself. It really impresses how closely-allied the Blood Elves and Forsaken are, and how--even though she has her own people to look after--Sylvanas still truly cares for the Sindorei.
well, and now... this. ("this" meaning burning Teldrassil, but most importantly letting fellow Horde-fighters, including SIndorei, die (even actively killing them) to raise them as undead afterwards during the battle for Lordaeron...)
Okay I'm confused. I always thought they were named Sin'Dorei AFTER the battle in which Sylvanas died (as a Quel'dorei). So am I confusing something here or has Sylvanas never acutally been a Sin'Dorei?
Jokuldreki Sylvanas wasn't a Blood Elf in that term. She was a High Elf before they lost the Sunwell, which in turn caused them to become Blood Elves. Same people in the core. But she as I said died before they took on that name
@@xeronylloyd21 It's special if you are pumping RED Blood through your veins.... and if you know your Lore... I could say that you're not that special as you think you are
@@TheSonOfDumb No, she's inexpilicably overpowered. That's one aspect of being a Mary Sue, but she's liked by everyone for no reason, which is a big component of the Mary Sue archetype. I don't like what they've done, but I'm a stickler for accuracy.
@The Martial Lord of Loyalty Exept why would they crush the Alliance, for a piece of land? I don't undestand the conflict, hence why one of my favourite races is the goblins, since they benefited from both factions until the Bilgewater cartel was attacked by the Alliance. Conflict is necessary when one of the factions is aggresive, not when the leaders basically lick each others boots!
My first character in WoW was Forsaken, I was drawn into their story and I remember the fist time I saw Sylvanas sing this in UC, fell in love with it.
I kinda wish there were more words because it sounds beautiful. The words are so powerful. Brilliant. They actually make sense I guess that's where the game's writers magic happens.
I miss those days when I returned from high school very excited so as to play world of warcraft, and see first deathwing in the loging screen and then enter to level up my bloodelf and delight me with this beautiful song in Silvermoon. Now I'm already old, Wow is no the same and those days will not back.
For those who do not know, this song is not really about Sylvanas, rather it is all about the Blood Elves, and specifically the great invasion of Silvermoon City, in which the Scourge destroyed half the city and killed about 90% of all Blood Elves. The Sin'dorei would never truly recover from this slaughter, and Sylvanas, as we all know, would suffer more than any other elf.
I've always respected slyvana. As someone that struggles with depression ive always felt that I can relate to her. She on the inside is broken and she acts out because she's still not been able to come to terms with herself. She more hates herself then others and her way of coping with it is to lash out at others.
I remember playing different horde characters so I could do the quests where this song plays over and over again. Queen Sylvanas was the most badass character. Her going unhinged in recent games kinda makes sense but I feel like her descent could've been done better
Well I think you put it very simply here without considering the intricacies of why she did what she did. There's a very good reason that she would want to destroy the machine of death in shadowlands and I personally think it's absolutely well written. Everything she's been through since her first death is culminating with the battle in the next raid against her. It will be glorious.
@@TheSilverwing999 I mean, I want that to be like that, she is my fav character of wow. But knowing blizz, they will fuck it up. The new writters are quite disappointing
Blizzard ruined her end at shadowlands as they ruined Arthas end who ended crying like a lil boy. But in any case, For the Dark Lady, I'll still be loyal to my queen.
This song still hits me in the same way it did when I first finished the quest. Eventually I ended up acquiring, Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury. I would never have imagined it.
Those of you that see this... Read the Sylvanas novel. Or, better yet, listen to the audiobook that's narrated by her voice actor, Patty Mattson. It covers everything you'd want to know about Sylvanas, and her life, and motivations. From her childhood in Eversong, to present day... This woman has had a long, tragic life.
@Josh Burton I stop everytime to this day. Blood Elves are my favorite race (even tho Sylvanas is a top character for me xD). I seek out that quest so I can hear this song.
@Josh Burton I strongly feel like Sylvanas is gonna turn around. The decisions she is making are out of determination to protect not just the forsaken but the horde too. She knows she has to think about all of them but she was thrown into this. I think she's scared again like she was when she first guided the forsaken and found their place in the horde.
@Josh Burton yeah, that's my worry too. I just think she's come too far for that to happen. We also gotta remember though with the questline in Zandalar, whose to say this isn't all part of the old gods plans that are corrupted?
I just hope she find piece at the very least. I can't think to another end to her's terrible and tragic story. Idk what people keep saying, to me is one of the best and most complex character of Warcraft.
@@kellykoziel1667 I was gonna say how I always do this quest when I level a blood elf, but now I just wanna know how you feel about Sylvanas at this moment. Are you as disappointed as I am?
This song is even sadder after witnessing what blizzard has done with Sylvanas and her role in the story of warcraft universe. (as in how they ruined her character and everything she stood for)
Two things I repeated a gazillion of times in WOW, the Intro to the Death Knights and the Blood Elves starting zone to get The Lady's Necklace. Sylvanas was always to me the Archetype of a true emanciptated woman.
@@Off_Screen I'm in on that. It's gonna happen. I stopped caring about the story multiple times, and it's jumped the shark more than actually doing anything else. But to me personally, they shot the shark and then fed it to its children in Shadowlands, with how they handled Kael'thas' and Sylvanas' characters. fuck them honestly.
@@Shadowsdeity well with the way she is now what with tyrande being a bit of psycho right now...yeaaaaaah you want me to sign you up for some anger management classes?
I don't understand why people say this is a huntingly beautiful song. It is filled with so many dark emotions. So much grief, pain, suffering and despair. It hurt and caused me anxiety at the same time. Such tragedy...
Because. There’s something oddly hauntingly beautiful about it. For someone to break away from the scourge like what she did, takes willpower. You would’ve thought that she would’ve drowned in her emotions after what her army went through. Hence the song. But she didn’t
I still sometimes go back to my Garrison in WoD to listen to "Lament of the Highborne" on my jukebox. Just chill there, wait for groups etc, listen to the fall of a whole nation.
This song is why I can never bring myself to hate Sylvanas. She died with honor only to have it undone by a monster and even though shes never exactly been a hero since she did largely only what was necessary to lead the Forsaken and achieve her revenge against Arthas. Then on achieving that she learned the hard way that all the good she'd ever done was as good as meaningless in the afterlife? Yeah I can completely see where one would go off the deep end in the new goals of salvation for herself and trying to change how the rules of death work.
They are but both are monsters. Even in life Arthas was a massive dick. People like to forget this so they can have this dumb narrative that Arthas was in any way a good person.
Exactly. Arthas fanboys are the most braindead and delusional ones in the wow community. Arthas was literally a weak cuck of nerzul, he was never heroic or brave, he betrayed lordaeron and the humans. Sylvanas on the other hand sacrificed herself for her people, she is the definition of heroic. Idc about what she did to teldrassil, the races of azeroth had it coming, the forsaken were ignored and isolated for too long, these circles draw consequences.
Hearing this incredible song again makes the more recent Shadowlands lore even more confounding and bamboozling, wrecking her as a character, and of course the decline and fall of Blizzard sadder as a whole.
@@awesometown1000 I mean, it makes sense for all of them, it's just that it happens kinda suddenly. Arthas, Kaelthas, Maiev, Malygos and Nelpharion, Garrosh, they all started up good and become evil. It happens a lot but it's pretty much one per expansion. Arthas got a big backstory and wasn't really a nice guy and undead Sylvanas was always out for herself so I guess these cases are no surprise.
Some of you may disagree with me, but I do not think for a second that Sylvanas is poorly written. Blizzard has done a very good capturing of the pain and torment that Sylvanas has suffered and continues to suffer. There have been many things happening behind the scene since Wraith, look at all the cut scenes and lore videos around RUclips. Every player here who says Sylvanas is poorly written probably has just gathered that idea by what they have seen "playing the game" instead of reading and understanding the lore. I hate that Sylvanas has turned out the way she has, but out of all the characters in the Warcraft Universe, no one else has made to suffer as much as she.
I think Jana is surpassing that on an emotional factor. I started during van and miss the old lore of the chars unlike todays bran. I feel as though some of them were robbed of their development Carine, Vo'jin, Bolvar, Arthas, a few fans have created fan made lore but officially blizzard has not. those are only a few names I'm sure even you could come up with more. I finally caved in and purchased the lore chronicles a few years back...a lot is missing and for those of us that kept screenshots as we went from van to in my case Leg it says alot for what we seen done with how ....damn i done went off subject but I hope you get what I mean!
Sylvanas is a really vengeful yet caring character. She sought to get revenge from Arthas that she even joined the horde to help her. But since she was betrayed many times, she tried to force people to join even turning them into the forsaken. Sylvanas is a character I can relate to. After all the pain and heartache, no one understands you. The only option is to force them but turning them into the forsaken is thr best way to make them see. FOR LADY SYLVANAS. FOR THE HORDE.
Жаль, что Близзы сделали Сильвану столь порочной в моральном плане и здравом смысле, раньше она была лучше. Прекрасная песня, после неё я обратил внимание и со временем полюбил этого персонажа. Р.S Лучше игнорировать нелепый сюжет БФА и ШЛ...полный провал основной идеи.

For the longest time I actually had a macro that would play the song at the push of a button. I would press that button all the time.

Sadly Blizz will use such a great character(Sylvanas) to fullfill a villain role, after all those year of Banhsee Queen development...
Well I think you put it very simply here without considering the intricacies of why she did what she did. There's a very good reason that she would want to destroy the machine of death in shadowlands and I personally think it's absolutely well written. Everything she's been through since her first death is culminating with the battle in the next raid against her. It will be glorious.
@@TheSilverwing999 I mean, I want that to be like that, she is my fav character of wow. But knowing blizz, they will fuck it up. The new writters are quite disappointing
Blizzard ruined her end at shadowlands as they ruined Arthas end who ended crying like a lil boy. But in any case, For the Dark Lady, I'll still be loyal to my queen.
One of My favorite songs. So eerie and beautiful. Like Sylvanas.
This song still hits me in the same way it did when I first finished the quest. Eventually I ended up acquiring, Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury. I would never have imagined it.
Those of you that see this... Read the Sylvanas novel. Or, better yet, listen to the audiobook that's narrated by her voice actor, Patty Mattson. It covers everything you'd want to know about Sylvanas, and her life, and motivations. From her childhood in Eversong, to present day... This woman has had a long, tragic life.
When she sobs this finding her brother…. I cried.
Instant tbc memories
I love this; it's even more touching when you think about the heartache Sylv went through.
If you read her book you know how sad this is
If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not dying
Had to hear it again reading the Sylvanas book when she finally holds the necklace again, emotional.
This song gives me chills and make me feel empty inside at the same moment. Therefore can't decide if I want to hear it again or not
This song started playing in the middle of a battleground. Everyone ceased to fight for the duration. It was epic
I remember the first time she sind this song all players and i mean all players stop to playing an listen at this song.
@Josh Burton I stop everytime to this day. Blood Elves are my favorite race (even tho Sylvanas is a top character for me xD). I seek out that quest so I can hear this song.
@Josh Burton I strongly feel like Sylvanas is gonna turn around. The decisions she is making are out of determination to protect not just the forsaken but the horde too. She knows she has to think about all of them but she was thrown into this. I think she's scared again like she was when she first guided the forsaken and found their place in the horde.
@Josh Burton yeah, that's my worry too. I just think she's come too far for that to happen. We also gotta remember though with the questline in Zandalar, whose to say this isn't all part of the old gods plans that are corrupted?
I just hope she find piece at the very least. I can't think to another end to her's terrible and tragic story. Idk what people keep saying, to me is one of the best and most complex character of Warcraft.
@@kellykoziel1667 I was gonna say how I always do this quest when I level a blood elf, but now I just wanna know how you feel about Sylvanas at this moment. Are you as disappointed as I am?
The real tragedy is what they did to Sylvanas character
wow man......this tune, so many memory's....no king rules forever
To this day one of my favorite songs in wow, and my sister showing me the quest where you watch her sing it had me AGAPE.
And the night elves thought something similar when she destroyed their lives, like Arthas destroyed the lives of her people.
This song is even sadder after witnessing what blizzard has done with Sylvanas and her role in the story of warcraft universe. (as in how they ruined her character and everything she stood for)
Same with Kael'thas tbh. Blood Elves not getting a break.
Любимый мой персонаж, Сильвана!
i never knew about this the song was great untill i understand the lyrecs thats tragic
😢😢
Two things I repeated a gazillion of times in WOW, the Intro to the Death Knights and the Blood Elves starting zone to get The Lady's Necklace. Sylvanas was always to me the Archetype of a true emanciptated woman.
I know nothing about these games, but I love these songs.
we can never go back to those times :(
I'm so old that I remember Sylvanas as a Dark Elf. 😢😢😢😢
Such a beautiful song, I shall play it non-stop on all blood elf characters.
I can’t believe what they did with the dark lady’s storyline....
What is a storyline?
But really, Blizzard just makes their old and beloved characters into the villain of the week.
@@glanni next ones gonna be tyrande, calling it now.
@@Off_Screen I'm in on that. It's gonna happen.
I stopped caring about the story multiple times, and it's jumped the shark more than actually doing anything else. But to me personally, they shot the shark and then fed it to its children in Shadowlands, with how they handled Kael'thas' and Sylvanas' characters. fuck them honestly.
@@Off_Screen If they massacre my girl like they did with Sylvanas, I'll be fucking furious.
@@Shadowsdeity well with the way she is now what with tyrande being a bit of psycho right now...yeaaaaaah you want me to sign you up for some anger management classes?
Uwielbiam przy tej piosence czytać warcrafta, klimat 110%!
People who play HotS know that this song is the last thing you hear before the enemy Sylvanas throws you into her team and murders you.
I don't understand why people say this is a huntingly beautiful song. It is filled with so many dark emotions. So much grief, pain, suffering and despair. It hurt and caused me anxiety at the same time. Such tragedy...
Because. There’s something oddly hauntingly beautiful about it. For someone to break away from the scourge like what she did, takes willpower. You would’ve thought that she would’ve drowned in her emotions after what her army went through. Hence the song. But she didn’t
I still sometimes go back to my Garrison in WoD to listen to "Lament of the Highborne" on my jukebox. Just chill there, wait for groups etc, listen to the fall of a whole nation.
Как это прекрасно мурашки по коже
This song is why I can never bring myself to hate Sylvanas. She died with honor only to have it undone by a monster and even though shes never exactly been a hero since she did largely only what was necessary to lead the Forsaken and achieve her revenge against Arthas. Then on achieving that she learned the hard way that all the good she'd ever done was as good as meaningless in the afterlife? Yeah I can completely see where one would go off the deep end in the new goals of salvation for herself and trying to change how the rules of death work.
So we gonna pretend Arthas isn't a monster when he clearly is and as it stands the only previous villain Sylvanas might be worse than is Garrosh.
They are but both are monsters. Even in life Arthas was a massive dick. People like to forget this so they can have this dumb narrative that Arthas was in any way a good person.
Exactly. Arthas fanboys are the most braindead and delusional ones in the wow community. Arthas was literally a weak cuck of nerzul, he was never heroic or brave, he betrayed lordaeron and the humans. Sylvanas on the other hand sacrificed herself for her people, she is the definition of heroic. Idc about what she did to teldrassil, the races of azeroth had it coming, the forsaken were ignored and isolated for too long, these circles draw consequences.
Always and forever, my Queen. I will be by your side until the end of Azeroth.
Bruh
Why am I getting ASMR tingles from this? Damn, her VA is good. O.O
Aaaahhh i remember when Sylvanas said that line "Shindu fallah na" to Arthas in wc3.
Hearing this incredible song again makes the more recent Shadowlands lore even more confounding and bamboozling, wrecking her as a character, and of course the decline and fall of Blizzard sadder as a whole.
New game: take a shot every time she says sin'dorei. Good luck
Sylvanas is amazing why Blizzard keeps trying to make her more and more evil?
*cuts off lich kings head*
Me evil...? Nah i just take whats rightfully mine
She is not, Lady Sylvanas did nothing wrong !
They kinda make a random leader become evil every expansion. Maybe there's a lottery for it.
Happened to Kaelthas, Garrosh and now her.
Xis
At least it made sense for Garrosh. He was doing what was best for the Orcs. So from an Orcish point of view, he was one of the best Warchiefs.
@@awesometown1000 I mean, it makes sense for all of them, it's just that it happens kinda suddenly.
Arthas, Kaelthas, Maiev, Malygos and Nelpharion, Garrosh, they all started up good and become evil. It happens a lot but it's pretty much one per expansion.
Arthas got a big backstory and wasn't really a nice guy and undead Sylvanas was always out for herself so I guess these cases are no surprise.
ASMR doesn't give me tingles, but this does.
I miss this game sooo much, but like Back in 2008-2009 😢
Sylvanas Windrunner. May your soul rest in peace where your personality died.. Just before BFA
What I would love is if like a hundred fans got together and sung this together. IT would be a wonder.
Someone in my guild has the toy that plays this and I swear to god hearing it after every first wipe got oldddd
Sylvanas will always be my queen. 💖💖💖
Even though I haven't been playing as long as my parents and older siblings I never knew WoW had songs...
Some of you may disagree with me, but I do not think for a second that Sylvanas is poorly written. Blizzard has done a very good capturing of the pain and torment that Sylvanas has suffered and continues to suffer. There have been many things happening behind the scene since Wraith, look at all the cut scenes and lore videos around RUclips. Every player here who says Sylvanas is poorly written probably has just gathered that idea by what they have seen "playing the game" instead of reading and understanding the lore. I hate that Sylvanas has turned out the way she has, but out of all the characters in the Warcraft Universe, no one else has made to suffer as much as she.
I think Jana is surpassing that on an emotional factor. I started during van and miss the old lore of the chars unlike todays bran. I feel as though some of them were robbed of their development Carine, Vo'jin, Bolvar, Arthas, a few fans have created fan made lore but officially blizzard has not. those are only a few names I'm sure even you could come up with more. I finally caved in and purchased the lore chronicles a few years back...a lot is missing and for those of us that kept screenshots as we went from van to in my case Leg it says alot for what we seen done with how ....damn i done went off subject but I hope you get what I mean!
damn just now seeing this is a two year post LOL
For the Forsaken
I want this to be played at my funeral ¡-¡
Give that man a gold medal :D ^^
I saw the new trailer and I am here
Dark lady watch over you
me too x.d
Imo, the best Warcraft song ever.
Sylvanas is a really vengeful yet caring character. She sought to get revenge from Arthas that she even joined the horde to help her.
But since she was betrayed many times, she tried to force people to join even turning them into the forsaken.
Sylvanas is a character I can relate to. After all the pain and heartache, no one understands you. The only option is to force them but turning them into the forsaken is thr best way to make them see.
FOR LADY SYLVANAS. FOR THE HORDE.
i love sylvanas. i don't care if it's necrophilia :D
Illidan Stormrage *same not sake
You don't know that, Illidan may just like a good rice wine
or salmon sushi
It isn`t Necrophilia. There is a difference between dead and undead. Sylvanas is undead. Wich means that she is between dead and alive.
if you have to argue whether or not its Necrophilia you probably dont want to do it :thinking:
Back in my day Sylvanas was a tragic character
How the mighty have fallen.😔
CHILLS. EVERY. TIME.
My Lady Sylvanas...........😢😢
Жаль, что Близзы сделали Сильвану столь порочной в моральном плане и здравом смысле, раньше она была лучше. Прекрасная песня, после неё я обратил внимание и со временем полюбил этого персонажа.
Р.S Лучше игнорировать нелепый сюжет БФА и ШЛ...полный провал основной идеи.
I think is a great piece of music.
Thank you got the translations. Much love
The Destruction of Silvermoon by Arthas' forces is only comparable to the destruction of Warcraft lore by the current writers
I want this played at my funeral. :3
*THEN EVERYONE WILL KNOW THAT SYLVANAS WILL SOON RULE THE WORLD!*
Last words "Dark lady watch over you"
I'm most likely going to tattoo that quote on my body. Sylvanas4life!
I want this played at my funeral too.
Plottwist, she is Warchief by now.
Tryce ecyrt So? I'd still keep it the same.
I live only to serve you my queen (on my knees)
Sylvannas will forever be my queen
An Karanir Thanagor
Mor Ok Angalor
Lich King is in our hearth
He is in our souls
When you play sylvana in Heroes of the Storm and you use ult mind control she is singing this song :D
I’m starting a _Heroes of the Storm_ action figure collection, and I’ll begin with the Dark Lady herself.
