I also thought of the bit in Lor'themar's story, In the shadow of the sun, where Syvlanas actually threatens to pull out all of her support from Lor'themar if he doesn't do what she says then and there. While he argues with her, he eventually gives in cause he knows he needs that support..

If she actually cared about the people and the land the way she might have used to once.. I don't think she would have pulled such an obviously crass move like that. She knew that they can't stand up against the undead still holding those lands at that time and still threatened to pull out all her people and let the elves there get slaughtered pretty much if Lor'themar didn't give her her way... not the most caring of actions imo..
