Undercity is the faction for the capital city of the Forsaken Undead, Undercity, ruled by Sylvanas Windrunner. It is 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. To enter it, you will walk through the ruined outer defenses of Lordaeron and the abandoned throneroom, until you reach one of three elevators guarded by two abominations.
After the Forsaken were betrayed by Grand Apothecary Putress at Wrathgate, who split off from the Horde to launch a lethal chemical assault, the Forsaken were nevertheless mistrusted by the rest of the Horde. They have tried to demonstrate their loyalty in various ways, such as attacking the kingdom of Gilneas.

History
The Undercity was originally simply a system of sewers, crypts, and catacombs beneath the Capital City of Lordaeron. After the city was destroyed by the Scourge, Arthas had the underground warren expanded and rebuilt. He originally intended for the Undercity to be his seat of power, from which he would rule the Plaguelands. However, shortly after the Third War ended, Arthas was forced to return to Northrend and save the Lich King. In his absence, Sylvanas Windrunner and her rebel Undead captured the ruins of the city. Soon after, she discovered the massive underground fortress, and decided to establish it as the main base of operations for the Undead Forsaken.After the Forsaken were betrayed by Grand Apothecary Putress at Wrathgate, who split off from the Horde to launch a lethal chemical assault, the Forsaken were nevertheless mistrusted by the rest of the Horde.
