Killed Off for Real: After the Jailer extracts her sigil after the events of the Sanctum of Domination raid, her body dissolves into nothingness.

Judgement of the Dead: The Arbiter determines where a deceased soul will be sent among the Shadowlands' infinite realms based on their deeds in life.

The goal of the players in the expansion is thus to restore the order of things and to defeat those responsible for the disaster.Īn ancient being that supposedly predates even the Titan Pantheon, who is responsible for the judgement of the deceased souls and assigning their afterlives based on their deeds in life. The expansion presents the Shadowlands in a broken state, with the mechanisms that guide dead souls to their respective afterlives no longer functioning and the remaining Shadowlands realms in disarray and deprived of anima. They would then be properly fleshed out and explored in the World of Warcraft expansion of the same name, which introduced the idea of different Shadowlands realms, anima energy, and its own Pantheon of Death comparable to the Titans or the Void Lords.

However, the Shadowlands were only given their proper name, and a place in the broader cosmology of the universe, in the first volume of Chronicle. References to the afterlife have existed for as long as the Warcraft universe itself, and it was often referred to as "the shadow realm" or depicted as shadowy ever since World of Warcraft released. That being said, the anima magic coming from the Shadowlands is the source of all necromancy in the Warcraft universe, and many undead creatures found on Azeroth, such as the armies of the Scourge or Odyn's val'kyr, take their shape from the physical forms that dead souls take in its realms. The only exception to this is those Death entities that are actively involved in carrying the souls of the deceased, such as the troll god Bwonsamdi or the spirit healers that you can see while dead in-game. The denizens of the Shadowlands are generally not involved in the affairs of other worlds and are thus mostly unknown to the average inhabitant of Azeroth. Both these incarnated souls and the Shadowlands' various native creatures are fueled by anima, a kind of spiritual energy that the dead bring from the worlds of the living the functioning of the Shadowlands is thus dependent upon a constant supply of new souls. A mysterious plane at the edge of reality, the Shadowlands serves as the afterlife for the Warcraft universe's mortals (but not for immortals like demons or elementals), whose souls gain new bodies in one of the dimension's countless realms. There are multiple dimensions in the Warcraft universe beyond the material universe where Azeroth is located, and one of them is the Shadowlands, the cosmic plane of Death.
