Sylvanas Windrunner (the Banshee Queen, the Dark Lady, Queen of the Forsaken; nicknamed "Lady Moon" by Alleria) is the former Ranger-General of Silvermoon. She currently serves as leader of the Forsaken faction of undead and Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Warchief of the Horde after the Battle on the Broken Shore. She is the middle sister of Alleria and Vereesa Windrunner.
When Arthas Menethil and the Scourge came to Quel'Thalas for the Sunwell, Sylvanas attempted to defend her homeland. After fighting and losing at every turn to his forces, Arthas killed her. In revenge for her stubbornness, he severed her soul from her body, forcing her to serve him and aid him in the destruction of her beloved city.
Ranger-General of Silvermoon
Sylvanas is a member of the prominent Windrunner family of the high elves. Her siblings are Alleria, Vereesa, and at least two brothers (one named Lirath (BtDP 68) and the other possibly named Sylvos). Her family lived at Windrunner Spire in the tranquil forests of Quel'Thalas. Sylvanas joined the rangers and eventually became their leader, rising to the rank of Ranger-General of Silvermoon, military leader of all high elven forces.
The Second War
During the Second War, the high elves initially sent only token support to the Alliance, though Sylvanas' older sister, Alleria, took her squad of rangers as well. Soon after, the forests of Quel'Thalas mysteriously began to burn. Sylvanas and her rangers set out to discover the cause when she came across both her sisters being chased by a band of forest trolls, which they quickly dispatched. Alleria alerted Sylvanas of the coming orcish Horde, and that it was the orcs who were burning Quel'Thalas with dragon fire. Sylvanas and her rangers raced to meet the Horde to trap them against the Alliance forces under the command of the paladin, Turalyon. The battle took many turns, but ultimately the Horde abandoned Quel'Thalas. Sylvanas stayed behind to hunt down any remaining orcs. Shortly after, the Horde was defeated, the Dark Portal was destroyed, and the Second War had ended.
Invasion of the Undead Scourge
After the high elves withdrew from the Alliance, Sylvanas and her Rangers were the primary guard against any would-be attackers on Silvermoon. Despite the odd forest troll, murloc, or gnoll every now and then, Sylvanas saw little action, and a peaceful tranquillity descended upon the forests. She remained ever vigilant, knowing that this peace— however refreshing —was tenuous at best. Her fears were soon realized when Arthas, the betrayer of Lordaeron, arrived unexpectedly on the doorstep of Quel'Thalas with a horde of undead at his back. He attacked outlying villages and Sylvanas and her Ranger Corps moved against him. His superior numbers and tireless warriors always kept her in a state of retreat. Arthas continued relentlessly towards the Elfgate, killing every elf who got in his way. Finally, despite Sylvanas' best efforts, he breached the Outer Elfgate. Sylvanas ordered the corps to immediately fall back to the Inner Gate, which was only passable with the use of the Key of the Three Moons, assembled from the Mooncrystals hidden within the forest. Sylvanas destroyed the bridge leading to the Inner Gate to stay his advance. Despite her valiant efforts, Arthas managed to recover the Key of the Three Moons and destroyed the Inner Elfgate. Nothing stood in his way to Silvermoon.
Sylvanas gathered her forces to warn Silvermoon, but Arthas blocked her passage at every turn, murdering every runner she tried to get through. Sylvanas continued the resistance, but eventually was targeted. Arthas' army overran her base of operations and the death knight singled her out in the heat of battle. The two dueled, and Sylvanas was cut d...

Battling the Dark Lady in the Royal Quarter can prove disastrous if certain steps are not taken by raid members.
•Enter the Undercity through the sewer entrance[15.2, 29.4]
, an obvious and well-used tactic since the start of World of Warcraft.
•Upon entering Sylvanas’ chamber[57, 90]
, raid members must hug the right wall as much as possible, as the Undercity’s battle masters, as well as the Wintergrasp battle mage, will be pulled if the raid goes left; battling them can waste valuable time, giving Horde players time to mount a defense.

•She was voiced by Piera Coppola. After Patch 3.2.0, Sylvanas appeared to have gotten a new voice actor, however, her quotes remain the same. She is currently voiced by Patty Mattson, best known for her voice of Catwoman in the game "Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe".

Items
•Sylvanas reputedly used Thas'dorah, Legacy of the Windrunners, an artifact available in Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. World of Warcraft: Legion. •An epic ring, [Band of the Ranger-General], drops from Kael'thas Sunstrider in the Eye of Tempest Keep. The description of the ring clearly states it was formerly worn by Sylvanas. •In Dalaran, a rare fishing drop from the fountain is [Sylvanas Windrunner's Gold Coin], which was, as it says, once owned by Sylvanas (likely in life).
Sylvanas' form
•Though Sylvanas was a high elf, her original model in World of Warcraft was a tall night elf; this is because it was the closest model available to a high elf before Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found.. •During the Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Wrath of the Lich King beta she was given a uniquely-textured blood elf model; by patch 3.0.2 she was given a unique undead high elf model more reminiscent of how she appeared in The Frozen Throne. Interestingly, the outfit she wears in the Sunwell Trilogy is more similar to those of Sentinel archers than the high elf rangers in the same book. •In Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Sylvanas's living model was simply retextured from Shandris Feathermoon, while her undead model was the standard Banshee. In Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, her undead model was shared with the Dark Ranger hero unit, as Sylvanas was their "representative" character. •Though Arthas turned her into an incorporeal banshee, Sylvanas was later able to regain her corpse. Ghostlands and the Manual of Monsters both depict her in her original body, with the abilities of both a dark ranger and a banshee. •In Warcraft III, Arthas defeated Sylvanas in Eversong Woods and turned her into a banshee on the spot. Both Ghostlands and the Lament of the Highborne video later depicted Arthas placing Sylvanas' body on an altar and performing the ritual that pulled her spirit from her body, while the Arthas novel returned to the Warcraft III version of the scene.
