We all have a city connected to our race when we are “born”. Since this is the first mayor city we visit, there’s a good change this is the place that will be your home for the rest of your time in world of Warcraft. However it’s not always the case that your original capital city becomes your base. Some undeads get tired of the darkness of Undercity and seek the light in Ogrimmar or Thunderbluf. However this rogue is a true undead and needless to say, my favourite city off all (not just the big ones) is Undercity.

I like the way the entrance above earth is merely a ruin, cause it makes you remember how old this place is and that there’s a history behind the walls. And how cool is it that it’s build under the ground! Anyeway, this is the story of the city:

“Far beneath the ruined capital city of Lordaeron, the royal crypts have been turned into a bastion of evil and undeath. 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 Arthas's absence, the Dark Lady, Sylvanas Windrunner, led the rebel Forsaken to the Undercity, and claimed it for her own. Since taking up residence, the Forsaken have worked to complete the Undercity's construction by dredging the twisted maze of catacombs, tombs, and dungeons that Arthas began”.

I also like that everything looks a bit like it was drawn by Tim Burton (the guy that made “Corpse Bride”). It’s dark and cold, yet it is filled with colours. I have taken so many screenshots in this city cause I constantly find something that fascinates me and cause I like the design so much, there’s plenty of places suitable as a background for a picture.

Because Undercity is pretty much a round city, its quick to get from one end to the other and it never takes long to find anything. Also the outer ring of the city is divided into four areas with different colour entrance, and this makes it easy to find stuff. With a laggy pc like mine it’s nice that it’s easy to navigate so you don’t have to search the whole city every time you need to find something new.

Also I think there’s more rp’ing going on with the npc’s around this city. A lot of npc’s are talking or training or torturing some poor sole and it makes the city seem more alive to see the npc’s interacting with each other.

By these words I dedicate this post to my favourite place in Azeroth, home of the forsaken; Undercity!
