• I have important news to share with you.

A cinematic plays, "Shattered Legacies":

• The cinematic begins with a close-up of Sylvanas lying unconscious on a bench in Oribos. The scar she received from Frostmourne is exposed and glowing. Her eyes move slightly behind her eyelids, as though she's dreaming.

• Uther stretches his hand toward the scar, which begins glowing brighter in response. A small tendril of Maw energy suddenly strikes out from the wound and connects with his finger as the camera cuts to black.
• bossemote
• Images of night elves and buildings in flames during the Burning of Teldrassil flash by. A gentler version of Sylvanas' voice is heard.
• bossemote
• Sylvanas the Banshee Queen stands on the coast of Darkshore in front of the burning Teldrassil. Kneeling on the ground next to her—in the exact same position as Delaryn Summermoon during the real Burning of Teldrassil—is another version of Sylvanas, the way she appeared as a living Ranger-General.

• Images from Warbringers: Sylvanas flash by as the Ranger-General speaks: catapult projectiles striking Teldrassil...
• bossemote
• Sylvanas turning the dying Delaryn Summermoon's face toward Teldrassil...
• bossemote
• More projectile impacts...
• bossemote
• The Ranger-General buries her face in her hands while the Banshee Queen stands by, impassive.
• bossemote
• A final few images from Warbringers: Sylvanas: Sylvanas' soul being turned into a snarling banshee after her death. Back in Oribos, Uther withdraws his hand and looks up at the people gathered in the chamber: Thrall, Jaina, Bolvar, and Baine.

• Uther looks at Sylvanas.
• bossemote
• His eyes widen slightly as from a realization. He takes off his breastplate, revealing his own scar from Frostmourne. He takes hold of Sylvanas' right hand and lifts it to his chest. As her fingers touch the wound, it starts glowing brighter until the screen flashes to white and changes to a scene of the Ranger-General looking around in confusion at an empty human farm surrounded by peaceful woods. She turns around at the sound of approaching footsteps from Uther, the way he appeared as a living paladin.

• The Ranger-General's eyes widen in comprehension. She closes her eyes, and more images from Warbringers flash by of Arthas impaling Sylvanas with Frostmourne. She opens her eyes again.

• The Ranger-General shakes her head in disbelief.

• The scene suddenly changes to a burning battlefield: the Dead Scar in the Eversong Woods, with the spires of Silvermoon City visible in the distance.

• Uther sighs and closes his eyes. A vision of his kyrian form splits from that of the paladin, and the two Uthers stand side-by-side as the paladin addresses Sylvanas again.
• bossemote
• Uther stretches out his hand and changes the scene again, bringing the Ranger-General back to Darkshore during the Burning of Teldrassil. She looks up at the tree in horror while Uther stands some distance behind her.
• bossemote
• The Ranger-General slowly turns back to Uther.

• The screen flashes to white and cuts back to Oribos, where Uther puts down Sylvanas' hand again.
• bossemote
• In a mirror of Vol'jin's death scene, the camera looks down from above as Thrall and Baine leave the room, followed by Jaina and Bolvar, finally leaving only Uther by Sylvanas' side. The camera closes in on her face as her eyes suddenly open and the screen cuts to black.
