Elana was the Queen to the Sunken King, just as Nashandra was to Vendrick. She didn't orchestrate the fall of Shulva, in fact it seems like she wants to take revenge for what the Drakeblood Knights did. Yorgh is responsible for the fall of Shulva, whether or not they deserved it is unknown. When Yorgh stabbed Sinh with his spear, it released a deadly poison that spread throughout Shulva killing everything except for Elana and the Sanctum Soldiers who had already given up their bodies in order to act as guardians over Shulva.

However, if you look at Yorgh's Ring, you'll see that it bears the Drangleic crest, meaning it is very likely that Yorgh and the Drakeblood order attacked Shulva under the orders of Vendrick or, considering that Sinh was in fact a dragon, possibly Aldia. It is also never said that Yorgh survived, only that he disappeared. He could easily be dead.
