If you’re playing World of Warcraft, you’ve probably heard of Sylvanas, the druid that commits suicide in the game. You may have also heard of the Corrupted Blood plague, which spreads all over the world after the resurgent Bolvar becomes Lich King. The story of Sylvanas’ life and death is fascinating, and you’ll want to read Edge of Night by Dave Kosak to find out how she felt when the plague swept across the continent.

Sylvanas commits suicide in World of Warcraft

After failing at the first quest, Sylvanas accepted the pact with the Val’kyr and returned to the realm of the living. His last moments were spent surrounded by eight Val’kyr and a few of his most trusted companions. The Dark Lady of the Darkshore also makes an appearance at this point. But what really caused Sylvanas to commit suicide?

The Horde commander’s demise is a tragedy for the Alliance and the Horde. The last day of the war has weakened the navies of both factions, making them slow to project military power. The Alliance could have secured Kalimdor, while the Horde would be able to capture Darnassus. But the capital of Sylvanas would be vulnerable to reprisals.

In the final moments of the battle, Sylvanas saw a vision of the future. Arthas was able to use the dead bodies of his opponents to feed the Scourge. Sylvanas, who is nearly three thousand years old, had fought with the Lich King for so long. However, he was no match for Arthas’ ruthless attacks. After the battle, Sylvanas unleashed a banshee scream that shattered the armor and made many people die.

Bolvar becomes new Lich King

It has long been speculated that Bolvar was the Lich King before the Shadowlands, but his fate is still unclear. He was a powerful leader until Sylvanas destroyed his helm during the Battle of the Wrathgate, and he later became a loyal ally of the players in the current expansion. Despite this fact, however, it remains to be seen whether Bolvar survives the end of the expansion, as he aided the players during Zereth Mortis.

Many speculate that he will become the new Lich King after undergoing the last rites of the Scourge. This isn’t entirely true, though. The new Lich King may even end up joining the Scourge, if he survives. He must fight off whispers of madness to stay alive, but he’ll have to do it with his own willpower.

Corrupted Blood plague breaks out in World of Warcraft

When the Corrupted Blood plague broke out in World of Warcraft last rite and swept across several servers, players were frantic to stop the spread of the virus. Some players hid in the mountains and waited for the right moment to reinfect their cities. Others deliberately infected their pets. Though they thought that the resurrecting of their spirits would prevent the disease from spreading to their new body, some players deliberately infected their pets.

Several epidemiologists and other researchers have compared this situation to the real world to try to identify the cause and contain it. The Corrupted Blood plague was a perfect model to study epidemics and disease outbreaks in a virtual environment. The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal published an article that described the outbreak and its spread in World of Warcraft. The disease was not intended to affect lower-level players, so the researchers took advantage of that fact to develop a better model.

Edge of Night by Dave Kosak explores Sylvanas’ emotions

In the World of Warcraft game, Sylvanas is the hero who rescues her people from genocide, and the rape metaphor in Arthas’ murder of her is unsettling. Sylvanas is the glue that holds her traumatized kingdom together and makes them strong. Edge of Night explores Sylvanas’ emotions after Arthas has been eliminated, kicking off a new character arc.

In the game, Sylvanas’ emotional history has a complex and sometimes contradictory past. He fought against the Alliance in Warlords of Draenor, committed genocide against Night Elves, and even imprisoned political enemies. His obsession with vengeance leads him to commit suicide in the Icecrown Citadel, only to be resurrected by Val’kyr, winged maidens who transport souls into the undead. He is ultimately able to achieve his goal of revenge, but his world is not the same as it was before.

During the last rites of the world of Warcraft, a strange memory is resurrected in Sylvanas’ mind. She remembers a life that has been buried in a bonfire and the pain she has suffered. Sylvanas’ sympathy for Anduin is a deus ex machina — a character whose sympathy leads her to betray the Jailer.
