UNDER CONSTRUCTION related to Spider Kingdom Expansion Concept
The Upper Kingdom is a zone of the Spider Kingdom located beneath the surface of Northrend. The entrance to the underworld region is the Pit of Narjun in western Dragonblight. This portion of the Spider Kingdom was devastated by the Scourge in their war years ago, and still lies in ruin. The fortress of Doorward is one of the few sanctuaries of light against the encroaching darkness of the underworld.
History
The Spider Kingdom is vast, stretching across several regions. The portion that lies closest to the surface is the Upper Kingdom. This city complex is built into the stone and ice of the underworld, and is thousands of years old. Dark caves give way to nerubian architecture, stretching out far across the underworld and becoming lost in the distance. The Upper Kingdom was ravaged by the Scourge and many portions of it lie is disrepair. The new generation of living nerubians have barely begun to reclaim it, and their allies the Twilight's Hammer have arrived in force to secure it.
Located in the Upper Kingdom is the fortress of Doorward, built by Baelgun Flamebeard and his dwarven explorers. The original expedition has been joined by members of all of Azeroth's races to form a new army, the Warders of the Dark, who have vowed to stand against the evil rising from the depths of the underworld.
Geography
The Upper Kingdom (early concept)
The outer regions of the zone are dark and cavernous, filled with twisting natural tunnels. Groves of giant mushrooms sprout along the banks of icy underground rivers, and walls of solid have sealed off many passages. The underground wilderness gradually gives way to the underground temple cities of Azjol-Nerub, which fill the western regions.
Subzones
A more detailed overview of the Upper Kingdom's subzones can be read here.
