World of Warcraft: Leaked Voice Lines Confirm Sylvanas' Ultimate Fate in Shadowlands

gamerant.com:

The ending of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is nigh, with the final chapter of Eternity’s End releasing next week. However, World of Warcraft fans have practiced their due diligence and datamined the voice-over from the upcoming cutscenes, revealing the judgment given to Sylvanas Windrunner at the hands of Tyrande Whisperwind. Warning: SPOILERS for Shadowlands: Eternity’s End follow.

Sylvanas Windrunner has been inextricable from World of Warcraft lore recently. The on-again off-again anti-hero/villain went full villain in Battle for Azeroth, only for her to swap sides once more in Eternity’s End, aiding players against the Jailer.

The final chapter of Eternity’s End, called “Judgment,” aims to wrap up some loose ends in Shadowlands–most notably, what to do with Sylvanas. The datamined voice lines are shared between Sylvanas, Tyrande, and Pelagos, who became the new Arbiter during this week’sEternity’s End chapter. Pelagos grants Tyrande the right to determine Sylvanas’s sentence, to which she declares death would be too good for Sylvanas. Tyrande demands the former Banshee Queen returns to the Maw and brings every soul to Pelagos so he can sort them to their proper afterlives.

Sylvanas’ fate is no surprise to those who pay attention to datamining from World of Warcraft’s Public Test Realm. WoW fans previously discovered an animation of Sylvanas leaping off a precipice, presumably from Oribos into the Maw, along with Dori’thur, Tyrande’s owl companion who will act as the former Banshee Queen’s warden. Between it and voice lines where Sylvanas submitted herself to Tyrande’s judgment, this new information confirms theories already held by fans.
