What happened to her? She was cool in the Sylvanas warbringer but it seems she didn’t get as much attention as someone like Zappyboi got so Blizz just stopped developing her.
Her voice and insight in that cinematic was so cool!
Anyone else agree?

I think she’s one of the Dark Rangers now.
oh she’s dead(un)
" During the Battle for Darkshore, she was raised into undeath as a dark ranger of the Forsaken. Following the end of the Fourth War, Delaryn, along with other undead night elves, sought Calia Menethil to help them."

She is currently with the Forsaken as a Dark Ranger Captain as we move into the Shadowlands.

Probably dead.
And I think she was just meant to be a throwaway character for the cinematic. But hey, she’s an elf: apparently we can’t have enough.
her last appearence was during an horde only ingame RP dialogue with calia menethil, maybe voss, and maybe the forsaken priest guy (can’t remember exactly) they talk about joining under calia or something, to face their future.
basically she’s horde now, it was an interesting and relatable npc, so we can’t have it.

I’d like to think there are still chances for the undead night elves to become an alliance faction.
Sure, they were manipulated by Sylvanas through rage and disappointment and made into dark rangers… But truly, how much sense does it make for them to be fighting alongside the people who burned Teldrassil and slaughtered their kin?
I wouldn’t put it past Calia to make them reason about it and ‘come back’ one way or another.
It truly just depends from the Alliance (and the living Kaldorei) being able to accept their undead condition or not.
Since we have death knights all over the place though, that could be an option.
Nah not really.
If you talk to the undead night elves in darkshore they say each of them had their own reasons to accept the gift of undeath.
Would you be able to quote any, then? Genuinely curious.
To me it just makes no sense that they would join the forces that just mercilessly slaughtered their own people, destroying a city populated with civilians, without any actual reason to do so.
I just recall disappointment of Elune ‘allowing all of that to happen’ was mentioned.
You get a small dialogue with one of them about them being undead now and this is the thing they say. Can’t go into specifics as it’s been ages since I saw those lines.
If horde controls darkshore you can see what they have to say.
I will check.
It does however come more natural for me to think of this:
Calia: Night elf sentinels? Why are you… By the Light!
Lilian: Many fell at Teldrassil. Some were raised into rage and darkness, turned against their own people. They, too, have been abandoned.
Which is why I can’t help hoping for a ‘redemption’ of these unfortunate elves through Calia’s mediation.
That’s blizzard writing for you. NPCs contradict themselves.

Or there could be different people moved by different reasons?
Anyway, since it is clearly related, I will just leave this here, too.
I don’t think there are many people that after getting a sibling killed, will join forces with the killers of their sibling, in killing the rest of their family, because the rest of the family failed helping save the sibling.

Oh, but I quite agree with you. I think once Sylvanas (and her psychological grip) is gone many of these recently raised night elves undead might want to reunite to their kin as possible, or even fight to protect them…
Yet, if what Hexelyion says about the Darkshore NPC is true we need to concede there could always be some particularly twisted individuals who were unhappy with their life, hated their own kin, are now happy to serve the Horde…
Well, obviously not but this is WoW and the rules surrounding undeath and the toll it takes on an individuals mental state is very unclear. Some manage it well and fine (Zelling) while others are trapped in a state of total despair, hatred and rage. (Sira)
Not saying that’s an excuse of course but rather that because some of those who were risen, like Sira, were unfortunate to be condemned to an existence such as that it might be better if people separated their living life from their “life” in undeath since the characters and all their previous values, creeds, morals and loyalties are obviously so completely altered because of the misery that was inflicted upon them.
She died in that very same cinematic,
You didn’t notice?
Nathanos, us as players and two of the Val’kyr are sent to reclaim her body in the prologue quests before the Battle of Darkshore Warfront.
That’s also when we kill(optional) and raise Sira too.
Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about the consistency of the Windrunner sisters.
“Grrr we hate Horde! We hate Horde so much! I bet I hate them more than you Big Sister, I hate them so much that I reserve all my anger for my former Comrades, the people of our very own race! I murder them, and have them tortured”
“Oh is that so Vereesa, Well I hate Horde so much that I…”
-Warchief of the entire Horde-Sylvanas walks into the room
“Yaaaay, it our sister!”
“Hey guys, fancy going for a ride through the inexplicably still full of zombies Ghoslands, I’ll even summon us some zombie bony pony’s because I know how you both won’t bat an eyelid at that”
“Yaaaay, lets chill”
Lets be fair, inconsistent writing is not the province of one faction or the other…

or, you know, as Sira says; Elune betrayed them
you worship a goddess for thousands of years only to have her betray you all and only give a token power to her priestess AFTER her worshippers are dead
In case anyone hasn’t seen it and wanted to:-
