Sylvanas Windrunner is the Dark Lady of the Forsaken and one of the most tragic figures of WoW Classic.

On WowX5 x5 her throne sits in the Royal Quarter of the Undercity.
Sylvanas rules from the Royal Quarter of the Undercity, in the lowest tier of the city. Forsaken reputation and story lines begin here.
Who is Sylvanas
Sylvanas Windrunner was the Ranger-General of Silvermoon (Quel'Thalas) — a celebrated commander of the high elves who defended her homeland from trolls and the Scourge. When Prince Arthas marched his undead army toward the Sunwell, Sylvanas fell in battle, but the Lich King granted her no peace: her soul was torn from her body and bound as a banshee — a wailing spirit shackled to the Scourge's will.
When the Lich King's grip on Azeroth weakened, Sylvanas reclaimed her body and her free will. Other liberated dead gathered around her.
The birth of the Forsaken
Sylvanas united the freed undead into a new power — the Forsaken. She made the ruins of Lordaeron her capital: beneath the shattered citadel of the old human kingdom sprawls the Undercity, a maze of canals of greenish sludge and slimy halls.
The Forsaken struck a pragmatic alliance with Thrall's Horde — not out of love, but for survival and a shared war against the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade. Sylvanas commands the dark rangers and the Royal Apothecary Society, whose plague experiments are a dark chapter of their own.
