Notes

Conversation along the way:

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: I have not always been the Bansheee Queen, <name>.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: And my people have not always been the Forsaken.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Long ago this land comprised the northern kingdoms of Lordaeron, ruled by King Terenas Menethil.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Terenas had a son named Arthas.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Arthas... even saying his name makes my body quiver in rage.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: This man-child, Arthas, took for himself a cursed blade known as Frostmourne.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Through Frostmourne, Arthas killed his own father and razed this land along with every living creature in it!

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: My own death came at the hands of Arthas when he and his armies sacked my homeland, Quel'Thalas, and murdered my people.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: In his vast cruelty, Arthas severed my spirit from my body and raised me as a banshee to serve in his Scourge army.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: A similar fate befell all that would die to the Scourge war machine.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: In death, they were reborn as mindless undead.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: But Arthas was not invincible! With each passing day his power wanted - his grip over the will of the damned loosening.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: It was when Arthas was at his weakest that I struck!

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: And though the hour of his atonement had come, the worm managed to escape his fate, returning to the frozen wastes of Northrend.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: With Arthas gone, so too was the control he held over the undead masses of Lordaeron. After recovering my body, I freed the remaining Scourge that were left behind.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: From the cruelty and mercilessness of Arthas, the man who would be the Lich King, the Forsaken were born.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Our goal... Our sole purpose was to destroy the Lich King. We threw our lot in with the Horde and began our journey towards redemption.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Now the Lich King is dead and we have returned.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: The people who called this land their home in life, do so in death as well.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: But the Alliance does not recognize our rights. They claim this land as their own while attempting to invalidate the claims of the founders of this kingdom.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: I will never allow it... Never!

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Lordaeron belongs to the Forsaken - always and forever.
