Shadowlands Patch 9.2: Eternity’s EndGameRant The Triad

It is impossible to talk about the story of Shadowlands without Sylvanas Windrunner, Anduin Wrynn, and Zovaal the Jailer. “That triad was core to the story we are telling,” Danuser said. The story of Shadowlands first saw Anduin captured by Sylvanas after she left the Horde, then saw him transformed into the Jailer’s puppet with Domination magic. At the end of World of Warcraft’s last patch, “Chains of Domination,” Sylvanas turned on the Jailer but was defeated and captured by players and their allies.

Anduin replaced Sylvanas as the Jailer's hand, and now accompanies him as he plunges into Zerith Mortis to claim the secrets of the First Ones and rewrite existence. Anduin is in quite the predicament, and dealing with him will be the only way players can hope to confront the Jailer according to Day. After all, unless his Domination magic can be countered, Zovaal could do the same against anyone who stands in his way.

Sylvanas and Uther

Sylvanas is in a predicament of her own. Now that she is in the custody of the heroes, she'll need to be grilled for information. As she was the Jailer’s right hand until recently, she knows much of his schemes, and getting that information may be the only way to stop him.

However, Danuser hinted at an unexpected character’s role. When players last saw her, Sylvanas had a portion of her soul returned to her body after it was shattered during her death at Arthas’ hand – a fate that shares similarities to Uther the Lightbringer's fate in Shadowlands. Because of this shared history, Danuser said the paladin-turned-Kyrian may prove integral to the story of “Eternity’s End.”
In fact, can serve as something of a guide for her through that process; he had no one to help guide him, but Uther understands what it is like to go through something like that, and you’ll see how maybe he can help guide Sylvanas through those treacherous waters.

Sylvanas and Anduin

Anduin is a hero beloved by many players, but considering he is in a vice-grip by the Jailer, players can only hope he will be saved. On the other hand, Sylvanas has much to answer for after the events of Battle for Azeroth. “Eternity’s End” will reveal if Anduin will be the same if he survives this ordeal, or what kind of punishment Sylvanas will receive for her sins.

Tyrande and Sylvanas

Tyrande Whisperwind was absent from the announcement trailer for “Eternity’s End." Considering the events of Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands, it is no surprise Tyrande and Sylvanas are on a “collision course," as Danuser called it. He confirmed the High Priestess of Elune will appear in “Eternity’s End,” and will come face-to-face with a very different Sylvanas than she battled during the opening scenario for “Chains of Domination.”

I would say those two figures have a lot to – I don’t know if ‘resolve’ is the right word, because can you ever resolve something that happens on the scale of an entire civilization nearly being wiped out? There is going to be some very heavy interaction between those characters, and that is pivotal to the final conclusion of how ‘Eternity’s End’ and the Shadowlands saga wraps up.
