Sylvanas Windrunner, one of the most recognizable and adored characters in World of Warcraft, made her début in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Many fans are familiar with her tragic and lengthy backstory because she served as the focal point for numerous World of Warcraft expansions. The Banshee Queen has nine lives, which is something that many players are unaware of. In the game, players can acquire enough WoW Dragonflight Gold.
Some have expressed dismay at the fact that Sylvanas seems to be immortal, since even before she takes center stage in the game's lore, she's nearly impossible to kill. In this case, the idea of nine lives doesn't make symbolic sense; Sylvanas really has nine Val'kyr ready to sacrifice herself to revive her if she takes mortal damage. This has been a little-known cheat card for years, making her a force to be reckoned with.
Long before World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, Sylvanas Windrunner was allied with the Jailer
When Arthas, the Lich King, was finally defeated at the pinnacle of Icecrown Citadel, Sylvanas felt a void. From the moment she dies to the moment she dies, her entire existence is to kill the monster that cursed her so painfully, so there's not much she can do at that moment. She decides to end her second life by jumping off the top of the Frozen Throne. But when she died, she saw a vision that would forever change the purpose of her life; instead of finding peace in death, her soul was destined to suffer in the Maw.
In what would later prove to be part of the Jailer's grand plan, Sylvanas was approached by nine Val'kyr, winged female warriors enslaved by Arthas. They told Sylvanas that in return for being freed from the Lich King, they would serve her and take her place in the Shadowlands, on condition that the Banshee Queen would cause as much death as possible for Soul feeds the jailer.
Thus, Sylvanas returned with the mightiest of Vagrian Hilde to take her place in the afterlife. Sylvanas now has the means needed to call more undead into the ranks of the Forsaken, and she revels in this new power. Over time, however, some of Sylvanas' precious Val'kyr were killed before sacrificing themselves, usually by Alliance forces who learned of Sylvanas' squad's tricks.
In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, once Sylvanas could no longer fool the Horde into believing she was fighting for them and not herself, she returned to the Throat and served the Jailers directly. In Assault on the Temple of Dominion, players venture deep into the Jailer's Bastion to stand against Sylvanas once and for all, but first they must defeat the Nine - each of the Val'kyr who previously swore allegiance to Sylvanas. Here, all nine lives of Sylvanas attempt to save her one last time, in the service of their true master, the Jailer.
Given Sylvanas' agility, predatory instincts, and cold, solitary demeanor, one could consider her cat-like in more ways than one, but her most feline trait is undoubtedly her literal nine lives. What's more, those nine lives have been spent in many different identities, from the Ranger General of Silvermoon City to the Banshee Queen and even Warchief of the Horde. Only now did she understand that being slaughtered by others was an undeserved end, and there was a long way to go to make up for the sins of the past.
