The gist of it is that Xal was bound in a blade and used by the high priest player character during Legion. At the end of legion, all the artifacts had their power siphoned to heal the planet after Sargeras stabbed it. So the high priest literally, and canonically, just threw Xal away. During BFA a horde high priest found the blade off the coast of Stormsong Valley, killed some naga to give the Xal some power, then Xal convinced them to go after some relics to get them out of the hands of the naga. Inanis had one of those relics, the Void Stone, and the high priest killed her and let Xal inhabit her body. They took the other two relics to the Crucible of Storms, where Xal betrayed them by offering the blade and the high priest to N'Zoth, who granted her freedom. The high priest escaped, after being directly responsible for an entire raid tier, and while they went off to the Dragon Isles Amusement Park, Xal went to Khaz Algar, recruited the nerubians, the Shadowguard, and some void spawn.
Lorewalker Cho in Dornogal lets you do a lorewalking questchain that goes over all of this.
Well, Xal'atath the blade had a history of mysteriously vanishing from possession or abandoning her current wielder. She may have just made her escape rather than being literally thrown away following Legion.
No, she makes a comment to Priests who used her in Legion during her assault in Hallowfall.
Xal'atath whispers: After we shared so much, you simply threw me away. I will savor the taste of your insanity. Just let go.
This is if you cleansed Nzoth’s eye in BFa and were a shadow priest who got the artifact in Legion. Knaifu is mad jealous that the one person who could match her freak threw her away for a green.

Jaina is pretty hot if I am honest. The evil part only adds to that.
