The Undercity

Thumbnail

Far beneath the ruined capital city of Lordaeron, the royal crypts have long since been turned into a bastion of undead, the Undercity. Originally intended by Prince Arthas to be the Scourge's seat of power, the budding "Undercity" was abandoned when Arthas was recalled to aid the Lich King in distant Northrend. In his absence, the Dark Lady, Sylvanas Windrunner, took this opportunity to lead the rebel Forsaken to the Undercity and seize it as their base of power in the area. Since taking over, the Forsaken have worked nonstop to complete the Undercity's construction, both by dredging the maze of catacombs, tombs, and dungeons that Arthas began and fortifying access to the city. It is now the capital of the Forsaken and located in Tirisfal Glades, at the northern edge of the Eastern Kingdoms.

The city proper is located under the ruins of the historical City of Lordaeron, a never-ending source of outrage to the Alliance. To enter it, one must walk through the ruined outer defenses of Lordaeron and its abandoned throne room until reaching one of three elevators, each guarded by two abominations. Spiders, oozes and other subterranean creatures occupy these passages, lending to a feeling of isolation and dread to all who enter.

Lordaeron's capital city stood for centuries, a monument to the might and power of human kind. However, during the Third War, Prince Arthas slew King Terenas in the throne room and ransacked the city. He had planned to use Lordaeron as his capital on this continent and began excavations to expand the catacombs beneath the city. When he was called to Northrend, the work was left uncompleted until the Forsaken arrived.

Has anyone else had trouble riding a Kodo in the undercity? Specifically, Kodos cannot enter or exit the elevators in the Undercity. We should protest and get something done about this. Just because I ride a Kodo doesn't mean I shouldnt be able to benefit from all of the aspects of the Undercity, such as not dismounting every time I encounter an elevator!

Anybody else notice that there are stairs, and even a Barrel of Milk (viewable from the Magic Quarter) above the vendors in the lower inner ring in UC? If you stand on any of the arched walkways connecting the inner and outer ring and turn around to face the inner ring, you can see stairways and passages that look to me like they couldn't be accessed. Anybody ever get up there, and if so, what's there and how do you get there?

If you look at the UC map it has the scourge crest in the left hand corner. Did they decide to put that there instead of the broken mask forsaken icon? Did a blizz artist slip a lore error in? Maybe it's foreshadowing.
