Dark clouds are gathering in the skies of Azeroth. After our victory over the Old God N'zoth, a new threat rises in Northrend. Sylvanas, having escaped, visits Icecrown Citadel, the seat of the Lich King, and challenges Bolvar to a duel to the death.

Although the Lich King is one of the most powerful beings in Azeroth, the Banshee Queen eventually brings Bolvar to his knees. She takes the crown of dominance from him, but not to crown herself. Quite the opposite. Sylvanas destroys the cursed artifact, tearing the veil that has separated the world of the living from the afterlife since the dawn of creation. You can watch the epic duel again in the official trailer for WoW: Shadowlands.

Attention, now follow story spoilers!
WoW: The power of the Val'kyr! Pre-Patch Cinematic for Shadowlands [Spoiler!] (2) Source: buffed But what happened after the sky shattered like a mirror image and Sylvanas opened a gateway to the Shadowlands? We already racked our brains at the start of the Shadowlands beta about how famous WoW characters like Anduin, Baine, Thrall and co ended up in the Maw and later in Torghast. With Patch 9.0, Blizzard's developers now reveal this big secret and show us in the latest in-game cinematic what fate befell the said celebrities after Bolvar's fall. At this point, we don't want to spoil anything for you. Therefore, it's best to watch the video yourself.

So Bolvar suspected for years that Sylvanas would one day challenge him and claim the crown of dominance for himself. He created a new generation of death knights and called the undead of Northrend to his side to defend himself. However, he could not have foreseen that the Banshee Queen would destroy the artifact instead of placing it on herself. The ex-Lich King thus vastly underestimated the deviousness and power of the jailer. Exhausted and broken, Bolvar warns Nazgrim, Inquisitor White Mane and the audience in the cinematic that the apocalypse is about to begin. The undead are loose and we are curious when the pre-event for WoW: Shadowlands will finally start!
