| − | Princess '''Calia Menethil''' is the daughter of King [[Terenas Menethil II]] and [[Lianne Menethil]], and the sister of [[Arthas Menethil]]. She was betrothed to Lord [[Deathwing|Daval Prestor]], the mysterious noble who was to replace the treacherous Lord [[Aiden Perenolde]] as the ruler of [[Alterac]], but Prestor disappeared before any final arrangements were made. The fate of Calia following the novel ''[[Day of the Dragon]]'' has never been explained. She is mentioned in Alliance Player's Guide, and it doesn't appear to treat her as having disappeared, although the info is in reference to events of the novel. However it is possible that she is dead, because in Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, while Arthas is escaping the undead in the ruins of Lordaeron, he thinks about the secret exit he has in his quarters, the same Calia, Terenas and Arthas's father have. Only he himself, Calia, Terenas, Lianne, [[Uther]] and Bishop [[Alonsus Faol]] know that they exist. As he suppresses the memories, he also remembers that they are all gone. It is unknown if "gone" means in fact dead in Calia's case but it is very possible. |

The [[undead]] makes him 'an offer he can't refuse': in turn for helping Andarin, Andarin must help Trevor free some of the [[Argent Dawn]]'s prisoners. The paladin ponders the situation but finally agrees, together they descend into the city. After having fought some guards and abominations, the strange duo decides fighting the prison guards will not work and comes up with a plan: Andarin will distract the guards, and Trevor will free the prisoners. Knowing that he has no other choice, the paladin agrees. Trevor quickly manages to get a hold of a keyring and opens the door of a cell in which a girl was locked up. The girl recognizes the [[Forsaken]] and is shocked, but Trevor simply bows, saying '''"Good evening, my princess."''' |

Notes
- Although most are replaced in patch 3.3, you will be able to find a few in the Sewers.
Gender
During the Love is in the Air seasonal Event, the Undercity Guardians are the only source for the [Pledge of Adoration: Undercity] and [Pledge of Friendship: Undercity] items. They uniquely respond androgenously to both [cologne] and [perfume].
The grafted together design of the abominations with a view toward functionality (third arm and bulk) might lead you to believe that unnecessary bits for their role might have been left out. Their apparent lack of genitalia would seem to bear this out.
Too, they are described as simpleminded.
The juxtaposition of these two apparently dichotomous gender observations can be resolved by assuming that they are truly neuter, and merely responding to any display of positive attention; the simplemindedness would bear this out.
Patch changes
Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): Most Undercity Guardians are being replaced by Kor'kron Overseers.
- The reason before the Wrathgate was to fill in for the abominations whom Sylvanas send to Northrend to help the Hand of Vengeance, the reason after of course is to keep a eye on the apothecaries.[1]
