It was a bitter blow. She had expected to venture here in triumph, not to discover another defeat. The victory was hollow. But she backed away from the throne, straightened up, and accepted that the cycle would go on. Arthas was dead. What did it matter if another corpse filled his vacant throne? Sylvanas Windrunner had her vengeance. The vision that had driven her and her people for years had finally been realized. And not a single fiber of her desiccated, animate corpse cared where the world went from here.
It was over now. A part of her was surprised she was even still around, without his lingering presence always tugging at the back of her mind. She backed away from the throne and slowly turned to survey the cold gray world all around her. Her thoughts returned to that place of bliss, her half-remembered glimpse of what lay beyond. Home. It was time. Blizzard Entertainment is proud to present the latest entry in the Leaders of Azeroth short story series: "Edge of Night"!

This looks awesome!

When I saw this I started freaking out thinking I missed it yesterday since I wasn't on. Glad to see it was only a few minutes ago. :D

Wait, did the other guys get blue posts like this or is my memory failing?

(Ah, no. I was wondering if the other leaders got announcements for their stories. But now I see the Tyrande post is still up. Nevermind.)
Great story. I've never cared much for Sylvanas, having not played WC3. But that story did a pretty good job of getting this reader curious about her. |

I liked the future vision when she stayed dead better....<.<.>.>
But good story |

Such a good read, I loved it! Never felt more proud to be Forsaken! Never felt more angry about a game though, with the vision of the future though, with Varian Chin taking over Lordaeron.
Glad this exists. =] |

Excellent read, thanks!
*SPOILER ALERT* So...Sylvanas has 5 lives remaining then? Why did she have to sacrifice a whole 3 val'kyr when she was killed by Godfrey and only 1 in the beginning? So many questions :P |
|
saved the best for (fourth) last.
Sylvannas' first spoken line in that story guaranteed epic story to be epic. |
|
So then.... Sylvanas is the lich queen? lmao
|

Sylvanas is the best character in all of Warcraft lore.
I wonder if she's doomed to eventually return to that, basically hell, or if she can make it so when judged one final time, she can return to the first death she met. Spoiler: "Garrosh Hellscream. I've walked the realms of the dead. I have seen the infinite dark. Nothing you say. Or do. Could possibly frighten me." |

Very much the Badass she started out as in WC III, I like the brief characterization of her... new friends.
Extremely well written. |
|
>The eyes of Hellscream are upon you more than any other.
What about Thassarian? i dont think Garrosh cares what happens to the Forsaken, he sees them as canon fodder. |

Delicious story. Loved it. :)
