What the reveal establishes
Blizzard’s site places the opening in The Last Days of Lordaeron and highlights a new holy warrior. Its feature description connects the prologue to the founding of Undercity.
Massively Overpowered describes an Arthas-related introduction followed by an undead-focused campaign. This is attributed launch reporting. We are not treating it as a complete synopsis or playable-hero roster.
Historical background: how the Forsaken became free
Reveal solution / story details
Blizzard’s historical Sylvanas profile describes her as Silvermoon’s Ranger-General, defeated by Arthas and raised as a banshee in service to the Scourge. When the Lich King’s grasp weakened, she regained her free will and gathered other freed undead.
Those undead became the Forsaken. Blizzard places Sylvanas’s base in the Undercity beneath Lordaeron’s ruins. This is historical context for the campaign’s destination; it does not prove the new campaign retells every event in the same way.
A familiar character in a trailer can be a narrator, ally, enemy or playable hero. Until a mission or official description establishes the role, do not plan a build around the assumption that you control them.
The Forsaken Paladin has a separately confirmed multiplayer role. Its Tavern availability should not be used to infer campaign talents, starting equipment or recruitment conditions.
