Lore

When last we looked at Sylvanas Windrunner, she had died at the hands of Arthas Menethil, servant of the Lich King.

The Omnic Crisis left the world in a semi-chaotic state, but it was a period of history filled with hope for the future, thanks to the efforts of the Overwatch team.

Other than the Overwatch agents that were directly involved with taking down the omnic uprising and saving the world, no one knows what really started the Omnic Crisis.

Often when we discuss Sylvanas, we begin at the Banshee Queen.

Overwatch was officially disbanded thirty years after its founding, after allegations of corruption and gross negligence -- as well as infighting between the troops -- slowly tore it apart.

She was born in Suramar over ten thousand years ago.

Although the Omnic Crisis was the major driving force that originally brought the Overwatch team together, the successful end of the Crisis didn't spell the end for Overwatch.

With the benefit of hindsight we can look back on the Scarlet Crusade and see fanatics who let their zeal overcome their wisdom.

The Omnic Crisis was pretty much that one explosive historical moment that served as the impetus for a lot of world-changing events on Earth in Overwatch.

They come from nothing.
