The Lore of Undercity | The Chronicles of Azeroth

Venture forth into the depths of the Undercity, brave adventurer, and descend into the heart of the Forsaken's monarchy of shadow and defiance. I invite you to accompany me, the Loremaster of this plagued city, to guide you through its ancient crypts, and allow me to unveil the sombre grandeur of this underground fortress.
Amidst the remnants of Lordaeron's glory, the city remains a sanctuary for those who have faced the abyss and emerged largely undeterred. Here, in the underbelly of Azeroth, the story of the Undercity and its inhabitants unfolds, a tale of defiance, survival, and the desire for a place to call home in a world forever changed by war, betrayal, and the unbreakable will of the Undead.
Today, the echoes of the Lich King still resonate through the stone halls and twisted corridors of the Undercity, marking a pivotal chapter in its storied past. The Forsaken continue to fortify their stronghold, ever vigilant against threats both from within and beyond their borders.

Happy April 1st, dear adventurers! While today might be a day for pranks and laughter, rest assured, our journey into the Undercity is as real and intriguing as it gets. No jests here-just the chilling tale of a city that thrives beneath the shadows. I hope you find the adventure as captivating as I did creating it. Enjoy the exploration!

[@Boomken76]

👍👍🤩

[@PootisPenserPow]

These are the best wow lore videos to fall asleep to, keep up the good work!

[@ponyote]

Proof that our beloved Lore Master pays no mind to silliness.

[@chiri-theoden4264]

Battle for UC will always be one of my favorite questlines of all time. As someone who had always mained Undead characters, it really felt like I was fighting for my home. So iconic.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

I can imagine! While this Loremaster has taken no part in the Battle for Undercity, it must have been a victory of great proportions to reclaim your undead city from the invaders!

[@szymonkalinski3014]

Home is where heartstone is and mine is in Undercity. Trully one of the most original and well designed city in WoW.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

That's dedication! It's got a charm unlike any other. What makes Undercity your top pick for a home base?

[@szymonkalinski3014]

@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth spooky atmosphere and Tim Burton architecture theme. Music there is so iconic and gives me chill. I personally love Mad Scientist / gothic style and spooky stuff. I want Undercity to be bigger and be city only for Horde ( I am kinda sick of neutral cities ) and also have a harbor.

[@jameschristophercirujano6650]

It would really be a waste if they don't reclaim it, like Teldrassil, both capital cities were unique.

[@andrex1456]

I was around 10 when I first played, hard to believe its been 14 years… I don’t remember much of my first experience with the Undercity, but I distinctly remember running around Tirisfal, killing spiders with my dad Good times :)

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Absolutely, those were often the times of pure wonder and awe for the wider world of Azeroth! It's nice to read the personal experiences of other travellers, and bringing back the fond memories!

[@KruggTheAmazing]

I recently found this channel and I love it, first one I watched was the shadowfang keep video, great narration and voice over; my first character was an undead warlock a couple months after WoW first came out and tirisfal glades and the plague lands were always my favorite areas. The dark foreboding feeling behind them, and the history of the once great kingdom, I’ll always remember running up the stairs of the crypt your forsaken wakes up in, even when I made my blood elf, I still would always hang out in UC or the plague lands.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Ah, the chilling echoes of Tirisfal still haunt many a seasoned adventurer. It’s where legends rise from the shadows and every corner whispers tales of fallen kingdoms. Thank you for sharing your story, I enjoyed reading it very much!

[@Lupinemancer87]

I always really liked Undercity, I thought the looks was spooky but cool. I especially remember hearing the whispers in the Throne Room for the first time.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Returning to the Undercity's throne room after adventures far and wide, those whispers brought back some strong memories! Masterful blended, perfectly executed!

[@Sixthbrick]

I watched this while walking around undercity, such a great watch

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Super to hear! Hope you had a pleasant stroll through the city of the Forsaken!

[@18Krieger]

Never understood why Arthas thought the Undercity was a great idea. But I still really like Undercity and I have fond memories of it.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Do you remember your initial descent on the Undercity elevators? I'm curious to know what thoughts crossed your mind as you entered the Forsaken's captivating, albeit macabre, seat of power for the first time!

[@18Krieger]

@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth I do to some extend. My first characters were Forsaken. And I was a big WC3 fan and played mostly Undead. The bridge and the way leading to the throne room had me excited and in awe. Entering the throne room had me pause. This was a feeling of becoming part of the RTS and its story. The music helped to create the feeling of something really horrible and bad happening in that room. In that kingdom. A kingdom in ruins, a people (un-)dead. Going forward after inspecting the throne room I was excited to see what way lying behing. To finally see more of the capital. It was so cool to see the Aborminations as guards. Than the escalator and dying because I glitched thru the door and died falling down. Entering Undercity for the first time was a bit overhelming. So much to discover. I loved the look and style of the city. The bank is one of my favorites to this day. The overall layout was a bit tiresome to navigate for me back then. But I had alot of fun within Undercity. Loved to return to it and then leave it thru that tunnel on a bat. Feeled like doing secret missions for my people and the Dark Lady.

I'm glad you think so! What place or topic should we visit next?

[@LittleDude3452]

this city always was creepy to me even still going into on retail almost 20 years later lol. they really nailed the spooky vibe to the city

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

They really did a "grave" job setting the spooky mood in Undercity, didn't they? Even now, it's a place where the chill isn't just in the air-it's in your bones!

[@ryandunn2806]

Sort of reminds me of Detroit

Thank you, glad you enjoy it! Any particular lore or city you're hoping to see covered next?

[@That_kind_of_orc]

One of the coolest cities hands down but sadly it's gone. I'm very excited for the new forsaken capital city when they rebuild it💀

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Excited is an understatement! The idea of the Forsaken rising anew and reclaiming a space as hauntingly beautiful as the Undercity, there's a certain poetry to it.

[@jani3978]

It's back :D plague has been cleansed

NOW WERE COOKIN. THE ONE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Now serving: tales from the Undercity! The only place where cooking means brewing up a new plague or two. Beware the Living!

[@Waauugh]

It once took me 4 hours to find the exit here. Didn't dare to touch the green goop, thought it'd kill me.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

To be honest, we've all been there, haven't we? Navigating the Undercity can be its own adventure!

[@Waauugh]

@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth An adventure that led me to logging out, and then making an Undead of my own just to figure out more about the Forsaken.

[@mdac384]

Your way of presenting the place and describing it with that handsome voice really captivated my attention for the whole video. Didn't even check my phone like I usually do. And that should say a lot, in this day of impatience and low-spawn attention. You should be more proud of yourself.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

I apologize for the belated reply! A Loremaster's work is never truly finished. Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s truly heartening to hear that the stories of Azeroth can captivate your attention so fully, especially in an age where distractions are just a click away. Here’s to many more adventures together!

[@davidlejenkins]

"I went to Undercity to get a facial. Ha! Have you seen these people? I said, ‘You don’t have a lower jaw and you’re going to give ME a facial?’ She got mad…at least I think she did. You ever heard someone talk without a lower jaw? ‘Rawe-rau-werew’ Ho-ho! She sounded like a murloc!” -Female Blood Elf

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

I asked for a skincare routine, and they handed me a bottle of 'Eau de Plague.' Said it was all the rage down in Undercity!

Thanks

Absolutely, and definitely on the list of topics to explore. We’ll delve into the era of the Forsaken Council and the post-Sylvanas period in due time!

[@jsml337g05u]

Can you imagine the smell of Undercity?

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

After wandering through Undercity's corridors, its unique aroma seems to have woven itself into my robes and hat. It's a curious blend of alchemical concoctions and the deep, earthy scent of venerable stones that simply refuses to fade.

[@DEichenberg]

Hands down my favorite city in the game.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Undercity has that peculiar charm, a favorite for many!

[@VinoJedi]

Wednesday day maker! As always, still humbly waiting for the Lore of the Scarlet Crusade!

Grateful for your company on this underground adventure! And rest assured; Scarlet Crusade's story is not forgotten, merely simmering until ready.

Are you using a mod for the camera perspective?

[@warmonsterj]

I need to get a PC again lol this was my childhood exploreing the undercity and the land itself

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Ah, the call of nostalgia! The Undercity, like many of Azeroth's places, have a way of drawing us back, don't they? What's one memory from your explorations that you treasure the most about this Forsaken capital?

[@warmonsterj]

@@TheChroniclesofAzeroth has to be humble beginnings makeing undead warrior helped 2 new players tanking for them and chatting laughing to and talked about the land of the forsaken but i was little so i couldn't play long lol met them played and thats ware the storeys end

Remember when the green slime caused damage?

[@MalakhimJWQ1]

Hail all

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

Hail, and welcome to the depths of Undercity! Delight yourself in its ghostly grandeur, but watch your step by the ooze canals - rumor has it there are fish with a taste for bones, and they're not shy about looking for a nibble.

Haha, i sat up and was like did i read that right?! Makes me want to get back into the game!

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

That night elf druid dancing in the sewers seemed quite at home, fearlessly flaunting his moves near his undead adversaries. While my days of questing may be behind me, immersing in this world through lore and stories keeps the spirit youthful. If the call of Azeroth beckons you, embrace the adventure, there's always something new to discover!

[@not-alot-of-options]

I really don't like the AI narration. It lacks convincing emotion and feels off. You do you, obviously. Not my channel. Personally I can deal with short videos, or short bursts of AI narration, but not these long fully narrated stories. It's strange, it's like some alien from another planet learned about our emotions and how we speak and is doing a very good job of imitating it, but it just isn't quite right.

[@TheChroniclesofAzeroth]

I appreciate your honest feedback. Using AI allows me to share my passion for this game in a way that I otherwise couldn’t. I understand it’s not for everyone, and that’s perfectly okay. Thank you for giving the videos a try, and I hope you find the content that resonates more with you!
