Warcraft Wiki:Featured articles/Sylvanas Windrunner
Sylvanas Windrunner was once the Ranger-General of Silvermoon before she was murdered by the death knight Arthas and brought back as a creature of undeath. After regaining her free will she rebelled against the Lich King and the Scourge and became the founder of the Forsaken faction of undead, who are allied with the Horde. She has styled herself as the Dark Lady, Queen of the Forsaken, an expansion of her original title, "the Banshee Queen".
As leader of the Forsaken and the Horde on the Eastern Kingdoms, Sylvanas is a military genius. The middle sister of Alleria and Vereesa Windrunner, she was Ranger General of the high elven kingdom of Quel'Thalas. She fought valiantly against Arthas when the Scourge invaded Quel'Thalas, but during the fall of Silvermoon, Arthas raised her as an undead minion as a form of vengeance.
