The campaign follows the Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner following the downfall of the Dreadlords in Lordaeron. With her newfound freedom, she faces a stark and brutal reality: the Forsaken are completely alone. Alliance remnants, the fanatical Scarlet Crusade, and the ever-present Scourge all seek their annihilation. Amidst this chaos, Sylvanas plots a path to secure her people’s survival and achieve her ultimate, all-consuming goal: revenge against the Lich King.

Play as Sylvanas the Banshee Queen, Varimathras, and Grand Apothecary Putress with entirely new spell kits.
However, The Frozen Throne reclaims her agency. When the Lich King’s grip loosens, Sylvanas regains her free will. Unlike the mindless ghouls she commands, she retains her memories, her personality, and her rage. This distinguishes the Forsaken from the Scourge; they are not monsters by choice, but victims seeking retribution. Sylvanas’s struggle is not just against Arthas, but against the unfairness of her existence.

It reimagines the events that take place between The Frozen Throne and the final chapters of the Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King expansions, told entirely from the perspective of Sylvanas and her newly freed undead.
