Tyrande vs Sylvanas Cinematic Patch 9.1 - Chains of Domination

[@CuthiePatootie]

There's actually a really really good reason why Tryande's power slipped at this exact moment. Revisit this video in four to six more years.

[@silentpriest3376]

Elune Forsake Tyrande and now Tyrande will be a priestess of darkness and revenged (Tyrande final boss future expansion)

[@felmaster3534]

In Torghast during the Night Fae campaign, whenever Tyrande used the Night Warrior's power, it almost kills her until she's healed enough to use it again. And considering that in Darnassian Tyrande said "My life for hers," which shows she was willing to go nuclear to kill Sylvanas, Elune took the power away so Tyrande didn't kill herself, even if Sylvanas getting away was the consequence.

[@DivineAegis02]

Elune doesn't want Tyrande to die. Tyrande told her to take her life for Sylvanas.

[@BatrickPateman430]

Why? Care to be more specific?

[@Wowreference]

Or Elune denied her the sacrifice she wanted to win. Maybe Elune sees another path for her future instead, and forbids her to die.

Tyrande's last prayer before taking flight means "my life for hers" in Darnassian I think what happened here is that Elune rejects the bargain, she doesn't want Tyrande to die in the name of vengeance, guides Ysera to save her instead. Edit: One more detail, though not impactful. I ASSUMED she spoke Darnassian, but it has also been stated in the lore that the Moon priestesses communicated with Elune through a separate language that was only for communing with the goddess and known only by the priestesses.

@@Geeserunner The wrath doesn't need to be someone elses for her to be wrath incarnate.. its just a way to say she's really really pissed.

What also makes it funny is that she apparently never called to him once this whole time, in fact, didn't even bother to check in on him to see if he was still alive. But she's sad that he died and she didn't know uwu.

@@360Fov How would she know? The only people that she had contact with since the event were Thrall, Jaina, Baine and Anduin, none of which could have known about his death, the only reason she'd know of his death is if the Jailer showed her his soul as it entered the Maw, and he didn't, hence Tyrande concluding that the Jailer is lying to Sylvanas.

[@remus2565]

@@madtitan4892 I'm pretty sure in that cutscene with Nathanos, it seemed like he knew he was being left to die. So it is weird that Sylvannas was in shock of this. She left him to hold off the retribution that she knew was coming for her. So the only thing that she could not have known is that Nathanos was in the Maw somewhere potentially. But given how the older cutscene played, it seemed like she should have known he was dead. So if the Alliance were in the Shadowlands, it seems logical that Nathanos failed to hold them off.
