Instead, the kingdom's fallen were risen into undeath as Scourge minions and forced to wage an unholy war against everything and everyone that they once held dear. Death offered no escape for the scores of humans killed during the Lich King's campaign to scour the living from Lordaeron. Sylvanas Windrunner, Banshee Queen of the Forsaken.ĭuring the Third War, the once-glorious capital of Lordaeron, Capital City, was decimated by a Scourge army under the command of Prince Arthas Menethil. In the end, the Forsaken's chances of victory against the Lich King were bolstered, while the Horde gained an invaluable foothold in the Eastern Kingdoms.
