The Undead Guide World of Warcraft,undead warcraft lich tactics
Bound to the iron will of the tyrant Lich King, the vast Undead armies of the Scourge seek to eradicate all life on Azeroth. Led by the banshee Sylvanas Windrunner, one group of undead broke away from the Scourge and freed themselves of the Lich King's domination. These renegades call themselves the Forsaken. They fight a constant battle not only to retain their freedom from the Scourge, but also to exterminate those who would hunt them as monsters.

With Sylvanas as their banshee queen, the Forsaken have built a dark stronghold beneath the ruins of Lordaeron's former capital city. This hidden Undercity forms a sprawling labyrinth that stretches beneath the haunted woods of the Tirisfal Glades. From this bastion, the Forsaken wage an unending battle against the Scourge as well as the remaining Humans who still seek to reclaim their lands. For though the very land is cursed, the zealous Humans of the Scarlet Crusade cling to their scattered holdings, obsessed with eradicating the Undead and retaking their once-beautiful homeland.

Convinced that the primitive races of the Horde can help them achieve victory over their enemies, the Forsaken have entered an alliance of convenience with the savage orcs and the proud Tauren. Harboring no true loyalty for their new allies, they will go to any lengths to ensure their dark plans come to fruition.

The Undead are, bar none, the most popular player race in World of Warcraft. This is partially because they've got almost as many ways to play as Humans and partially because they just look so damn cool. They've also got the most personality of any player race and many believe the most interesting storylines. They're also the only race in the game that can truly be classified as "evil," although they didn't ask for what happened to them and they do have their reasons for what they're doing, including fear of being re-absorbed by the Scourge and "the oppression of the living." Undead can be warriors, mages, rogues, priests or warlocks. They're also the only Horde race whose main lands are in Azeroth.
