A Kingdom Beneath the Ruins

Sylvanas refused to trade the Lich King’s control for the dreadlords’ authority. After defeating Varimathras, she accepted his offer to serve her and reveal his brothers’ positions. Survival made him useful, but did not make him trustworthy.

The fall of Detheroc freed Garithos and his human soldiers from demonic control. Sylvanas enlisted their help against Balnazzar by promising the return of their lands. Once the capital was secured, she instead ordered Varimathras to kill Garithos.

The victory gave the Forsaken a stronghold in Undercity. Their independence had been won through alliances they were willing to break. Lordaeron’s former capital now sheltered an undead power pursuing its own future.
