||
| + | Shortly after the battle for [[Angrathar the Wrathgate]] begins and [[Dranosh Saurfang]] is slain by the [[Lich King]], [[Grand Apothecary Putress]] appears on a cliff overlooking the battlefield and uses Forsaken catapults to unleash the newly developed plague on the unsuspecting forces gathered below. The losses on all sides are great, and perhaps the greatest loss is the death of the [[Alliance]] hero [[Highlord Bolvar Fordragon]]. |
||
| + | Soon after, it is revealed that Putress and several members of the Royal Apothecary Society had sided with [[Varimathras]], who had secretly remained loyal to his [[nathrezim]] brothers and the [[Burning Legion]] while serving under [[Sylvanas Windrunner]]. Together, the two had orchestrated a coup d'état and forcefully taken control of the [[Undercity]], nearly killing Sylvanas in the process. |

||
| + | ===Horde=== |
||
| + | Determined not to allow the [[Dreadlords]] a foothold in Horde territory, Thrall and Sylvanas planned an immediate counter-attack. In the midst of their planning, [[Jaina Proudmoore]] arrived bearing terrible news: in the wake of [[Bolvar Fordragon]]'s death, Varian had ordered an assault on Undercity to bring Bolvar's murderer Grand Apothecary Putress to justice and to retake [[Lordaeron]] for the Alliance. |
||
| + | After informing that only the Lich King gain with the Horde and Alliance fighting one another. Thrall along with Sylvanas and [[Vol'jin]] led the assault into Undercity itself to reclaim it for the Horde. After fighting the Forsaken rebels and the demons within, the combined might of the Horde slew the traitorous demon Varimathras. |
||
| − | Feel free to create a new topic on the [[Forum:Index|Wowpedia forums]] if you need help with anything! |
||
| + | ===Alliance=== |
||
| + | After receiving word of Bolvar's death Varian is overwhelmed with anger and sorrow, having considered Bolvar a brother ruling his kingdom and raising his son for years. He sent Jaina Proudmoore to Orgrimmar to discover the reason for the Horde's betrayal. He deemed this as an act of treason and demanded retribution for his friend's death. Jaina returned and informed Varian that Varimathras and the Royal Apothecary Society had betrayed them all and the Horde no longer controlled Undercity. |
||
| + | Varian and Jaina gathered the Alliance army and attacked Undercity, hoping to reclaim it as Lordaeron for the Alliance and bring Putress to justice. When entering Undercity, Varian becomes disgusted by the condition of the once great city, which he knew since childhood. Tracking Putress to the Apothecarium, Varian and Jaina defeated him. But, to Varian's horror, they also discovered dozens of mutilated and defiled human corpses, on which the Apothecary Society experimented to create the New Plague; realizing that although the Alliance and Horde agreed to a small truce over the years, the Forsaken had been secretly creating a means to kill them all. |

||
| + | ==Aftermath== |
||
| − | Hi WrathOfDeathfrost. You said that there is uncomfirmed information mixed with confirmed facts in the mechagnome article. As you were the one who added most of the information, can I ask you to separate it into two sections (one for speculation and other for confirmed facts)? I'm asking this because people without much knowledge can come and read the article but would not know what is real and what is speculation; and I would do it myself but I have very limited knowledge of the mechagnomes. [[User:Benitoperezgaldos|Benitoperezgaldos]] ([[User talk:Benitoperezgaldos|talk]]) 22:01, January 27, 2010 (UTC) |
||
| + | Ultimately, both [[Varimathras]] and Putress were killed, and Varian confronted Thrall and Sylvanas in the [[Royal Quarter]]. Battle ensued, though Lady [[Jaina Proudmoore]] intervened by freezing the combatants solid and teleporting all Alliance forces out. |
||
| − | : I might give it a shot. I already know it's common custom to place unproven info in a 'Speculation'-section, but the reason I didn't add this on the mechagnome-article is because most of the information of it, be it speculated or actual, is pretty too much "connected" or "intervined" to separate with any good outcome. Hard to explain (...) Still, as said, I'll see what I can do. [[User:WrathOfDeathfrost|WrathOfDeathfrost]] ([[User talk:WrathOfDeathfrost#top|talk]]) 23:41, January 27, 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::I see, then it was difficult to separate the info, but it appears you managed to do it. Thanks for your hard work :). [[User:Benitoperezgaldos|Benitoperezgaldos]] ([[User talk:Benitoperezgaldos|talk]]) 00:24, January 28, 2010 (UTC) |

| + | The Battle for the Undercity ended the cold-war between the Horde and the Alliance, with King Varian's declaration of war. |
||
| − | == Citation == |
||
| + | Meanwhile, in order to ensure that no more Legion-aligned abominations crawled out of the Apothecarium, Thrall sent a legion of [[Kor'kron Guard]] led by [[Bragor Bloodfist]] to occupy the Undercity, guarding it from threats outside, and from any that may remain within following The Battle for the Undercity. |
||
| − | While your excessive contributions are appreciated, and not necessarily inaccurate, I ask that you please add where you got the information, even if you are summarizing general knowledge. Thank you in advance.--{{User:Sandwichman2448/Sig}} 00:43, February 14, 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :All the info I use to improve articles with is gathered from other wowwiki-articles. I've also thought that it would be a good thing to add references (especially when handling larger pieces of information like on the dwarf-page), but as it appears this is mostly reserved for info gained from roleplaying-books and other websites than wowwiki, I've chosen to not add them yet. I'll see what I can do. |
||
| − | ::If you are taking info from other WoWWiki articles, then you should use the citation that those articles have. If they do not have citation, than that article has a problem and you should not be spreading around information from it. While admittedly a lot of the information on WoWWiki comes from Warcraft roleplaying books, that is not the only thing that needs to be cited. All information on WoWWiki should have come from somewhere else, and the somewhere else should have come directly from Blizzard Entertainment. Also, pages on WoWWiki are not sources, unless the page is entirely a verbatim copy of one source (like [[Velinde's Journal]]).--{{User:Sandwichman2448/Sig}} 18:37, February 14, 2010 (UTC) |

||
| + | ==Notes== |
||
| − | :::I understand that information requires trustworthy references in order to be treated as valid knowledge, and I'm even more known with the fact that false knowledge does not profit anyone. While I admit that I am bad at referencing (a quality of mine I need to reduce if I want to continue improving Wowwiki) I've never had the intention of spreading false and irrelevant information. As said, I'll improve my references and thus improve my contributions. |

Template:Battle
Prelude to the Storm
Shortly after the battle for Angrathar the Wrathgate begins and Dranosh Saurfang is slain by the Lich King, Grand Apothecary Putress appears on a cliff overlooking the battlefield and uses Forsaken catapults to unleash the newly developed plague on the unsuspecting forces gathered below. The losses on all sides are great, and perhaps the greatest loss is the death of the Alliance hero Highlord Bolvar Fordragon.
Soon after, it is revealed that Putress and several members of the Royal Apothecary Society had sided with Varimathras, who had secretly remained loyal to his nathrezim brothers and the Burning Legion while serving under Sylvanas Windrunner. Together, the two had orchestrated a coup d'état and forcefully taken control of the Undercity, nearly killing Sylvanas in the process.
Battle for the Undercity
Horde
Determined not to allow the Dreadlords a foothold in Horde territory, Thrall and Sylvanas planned an immediate counter-attack. In the midst of their planning, Jaina Proudmoore arrived bearing terrible news: in the wake of Bolvar Fordragon's death, Varian had ordered an assault on Undercity to bring Bolvar's murderer Grand Apothecary Putress to justice and to retake Lordaeron for the Alliance.
After informing that only the Lich King gain with the Horde and Alliance fighting one another. Thrall along with Sylvanas and Vol'jin led the assault into Undercity itself to reclaim it for the Horde. After fighting the Forsaken rebels and the demons within, the combined might of the Horde slew the traitorous demon Varimathras.
Alliance
After receiving word of Bolvar's death Varian is overwhelmed with anger and sorrow, having considered Bolvar a brother ruling his kingdom and raising his son for years. He sent Jaina Proudmoore to Orgrimmar to discover the reason for the Horde's betrayal. He deemed this as an act of treason and demanded retribution for his friend's death. Jaina returned and informed Varian that Varimathras and the Royal Apothecary Society had betrayed them all and the Horde no longer controlled Undercity.
Varian and Jaina gathered the Alliance army and attacked Undercity, hoping to reclaim it as Lordaeron for the Alliance and bring Putress to justice. When entering Undercity, Varian becomes disgusted by the condition of the once great city, which he knew since childhood. Tracking Putress to the Apothecarium, Varian and Jaina defeated him. But, to Varian's horror, they also discovered dozens of mutilated and defiled human corpses, on which the Apothecary Society experimented to create the New Plague; realizing that although the Alliance and Horde agreed to a small truce over the years, the Forsaken had been secretly creating a means to kill them all.
Aftermath
Ultimately, both Varimathras and Putress were killed, and Varian confronted Thrall and Sylvanas in the Royal Quarter. Battle ensued, though Lady Jaina Proudmoore intervened by freezing the combatants solid and teleporting all Alliance forces out.
The Battle for the Undercity ended the cold-war between the Horde and the Alliance, with King Varian's declaration of war.
Meanwhile, in order to ensure that no more Legion-aligned abominations crawled out of the Apothecarium, Thrall sent a legion of Kor'kron Guard led by Bragor Bloodfist to occupy the Undercity, guarding it from threats outside, and from any that may remain within following The Battle for the Undercity.
Notes
Since the shattering of Azeroth, this quest chain has been removed from the game. From the picking up of either Bolvar's shield or Saurfang Jr' headpiece, and up, are no longer available within World of Warcraft.
