With Detheroc dead, Garithos was free of demonic control, although he was still kind of a jackass. He agreed to help Sylvanas and Varimathras kill Balnazzar, as long as he was left to rule Lordaeron afterwards. Sylvanas, Varimathras and Garithos launched an attack together on the capital of Lordaeron which doesn't really have a name, but is situated where the Undercity is now.
They slashed through the Burning Legion's forces until they confronted Balnazzar. As a test of loyalty, Sylvanas demanded that Varimathras kill his brother. Varimathras was horrified, but eventually he acquiesced and killed Balnazzar. Although Balnazzar somehow survived and led the Scarlet Crusade -- you probably killed him in Stratholme sometime. This business being done, Garithos ordered Sylvanas and Varimathras out of his new lands.
In what must have come as a shock to no one but Garithos, Varimathras happily slaughtered the human, and Sylvanas proclaimed herself as the leader of the Forsaken her undead army's new name and ruler of the Plaguelands. Where she is now: Sylvanas rules from her throne in the Undercity, with Varimathras at her side.
Occasionally she gives quests or yells at people. She still possesses a deep hatred for Arthas, and is probably none too happy with the Burning Legion. No one really knows why the Forsaken allied with the Horde, and many consider it an alliance of convenience.
Still, the Forsaken and Sylvanas are pleased that her old friends, the Blood Elves, have joined the Horde. Perhaps she even goes back to Silvermoon City from time to time. Distinguishing characteristics: Despite being an undead high elf banshee, Sylvanas is portrayed in WoW as a differently colored night elf model.
This can probably be chalked up to Blizzard's unwillingness to design a unique model just for her. However, there's still a question of how she got from being a non-corporeal banshee spirit to her current form. Some people suggest that she possessed the body of a night elf, but another likely theory from the Warcraft RPG is that Arthas had her body exhumed as a reward for her service, and she was able to retake possession of it then. Questions, corrections, suggestions for the next KYL please?

With so many new allies, Varimathras fell before her. He begged for his life, saying that he could serve her well. He knew his brothers' tactics and where their bases were located. Sylvanas knew trusting such an insidious creature was a risk, but felt she could control him enough for her purposes. Detheroc had acquired control of a human paladin, Garithos , and his men, using them for protection.
Sylvanas had his scouts possessed and then infiltrated his base while their guard was down. As they slept, she swept through the twin bases and slaughtered any before her, and not even the raising of the alarm could stop her. She disabled the humans and ravaged Detheroc's forces, eventually coming to the dreadlord himself, killing him swiftly. With the dreadlord dead, Garithos was freed from his mental control.
Though she saw him as arrogant and foolish, she felt he could be of use. She lied and promised to relinquish control of the Capital to him if he helped her kill Balnazzar.

Despite the dreadlord's demonic allies, Balnazzar's forces were destroyed. As a final test of loyalty, Sylvanas demanded that Varimathras kill Balnazzar.
Varimathras froze, saying that it was forbidden for one nathrezim to kill another. When she refused to rescind the order, Varimathras obeyed. With their enemies dead, Sylvanas made a proclamation to Varimathras. They would rule the Plaguelands as the Forsaken and would stake out their own destiny, where none would get in their way.

In death, Sylvanas still considers herself one of the foremost protectors of Quel'Thalas, and repeatedly offers assistance in the form of supplies and troops to the blood elves.
This may be due in some part to the fact that the Dark Lady still grieves over her failure to protect Quel'Thalas from the Scourge invasion during the Third War , when she fell in battle. Though the blood elves initially declined most of Sylvanas' offers, fearing a trick, the beleaguered elves eventually allowed Sylvanas to station Forsaken soldiers in their lands, most prominently in the village of Tranquillien.

One of the new Forsaken camps in Northrend is New Agamand. It is here the plague the Royal Apothecary Society developed to combat the Scourge was tested, as indicated from this section of the Howling Fjord background on the official site:.
On the eastern shore, the Forsaken have arrived, carrying a plague of their own to unleash upon the Lich King. Queen Sylvanas has been methodically and patiently overseeing the formulation of this contagion for several years, and the time has come at last to test its effectiveness against the Scourge. As the combined Horde and Alliance forces began their assault upon Angrathar the Wrathgate , an uprising broke out within the Undercity.
Varimathras and hordes of his demonic brethren overran the city, slaying all those who would not submit to their dark rule. Sylvanas claims she nearly died in the coup, but managed to escape with a number of loyalists to Orgrimmar. Determined not to allow the dreadlords a foothold in Horde territory, Thrall and Sylvanas planned an immediate counter-attack.
In the midst of their planning, Jaina Proudmoore arrived with terrible news: in the wake of Bolvar Fordragon's death, Varian Wrynn had ordered an assault on the Undercity to bring Putress to justice and liberate Lordaeron for the Alliance. Sylvanas returned to the Undercity at the head of a Horde army, determined to retake her city.
Along with Thrall and Vol'jin , she led the assault, a cry for her people upon her lips. In the Throne Room, Sylvanas fought and finally slew Varimathras, retaking her throne. How much power remains in her hands is currently unknown, as Thrall has sent Kor'kron elites to the Undercity to watch the Forsaken. Sylvanas led Horde forces to the Frozen Halls inside Icecrown Citadel to confront the Lich King , intending to gain her vengeance for the destruction of Quel'Thalas and her damnation into undeath.
Upon reaching his private chambers in the Halls of Reflection and standing so close to Frostmourne , Sylvanas felt the pain of her death renewed.
She attempted to commune with the spirits within the sword, hoping that "salvation lies within". At that point, the spirit of Uther the Lightbringer appeared, warning her that the Lich King was on his way and of the foolishness of attempting to defeat him there.
He revealed that even if Arthas were to be destroyed, someone must take his place as master of the Scourge, lest the undead wash across the world like locusts. The Lich King arrived and reclaimed his blade, banishing the soul of Uther within it.
He summoned Falric and Marwyn , his two top lieutenants, to kill the intruders. While her escorts the players battled the pair and the ghosts they summoned, Sylvanas and Dark Ranger Loralen gave chase as the Lich King fled to his inner sanctum. Upon defeating the death knights and their ghostly allies, the party found Loralen dead in the hallway and the sounds of battle coming from the chamber before them.
Sylvanas and the Lich King were engaged in combat. Realizing he was too powerful to confront, as Uther had warned, Sylvanas and her escorts fled, breaking through the ice walls and packs of undead minions the Lich King summoned to slow their progress.
As they reached the outside and came upon a dead end, they resolved themselves to dying in battle. However, the gunship Orgrim's Hammer arrived on scene to rescue them.
As they fled the Halls of Reflection, Sylvanas realized the Lich King's powers had increased tenfold; to defeat him, a mighty army was needed, one greater than even the Horde could muster.

She also conscripted the val'kyr , the ascended vrykul women who once served the Lich King, using them to raise dead enemies as Forsaken as a solution to the undead not being able to procreate. During the Invasion of Gilneas , the tide turned against Sylvanas, and she used her dark powers to stun everyone in the immediate area. Aiming a poisoned arrow at Genn Greymane , she fired, intending to fell the worgen leader.
His son, Liam, jumped in front of the bowshot, saving his father from certain doom. As Sylvanas fled, Liam died with the knowledge that the city had been freed from Forsaken control.
Darius decides to surrender and Sylvanas allows him to leave with his daughter and his men. Shortly afterward, Sylvanas is killed by Godfrey, who quickly fled to Shadowfang Keep. The three sacrificed themselves to give Sylvanas life once more. This convinced Sylvanas beyond a shadow of a doubt that the val'kyr were the future of the Forsaken.
After the Alliance was defeated, she confronted Koltira about his truce with Thassarian , scolds him for his weakness. A portal to the Undercity was opened and Koltira was pulled through by a hooked chain, Sylvanas intending to purge him of his compassion for Thassarian and make him more of a servant of the Horde - more specifically, a servant of Sylvanas and the Forsaken.
Some have wondered if something has changed within Sylvanas due to her extreme behavior in the recent battles against the Alliance.
A forsaken apothecary even leaves the forsaken and joins the Argent Crusade at Plaguewood Tower. He says that "I used to admire her, but something's changed within her. She's not herself anymore".
