Who are the Undead?

The Forsaken were once Humans of Lordaeron, killed by the plague of the Scourge and raised to serve the Lich King. When his hold weakened, the Banshee Queen Sylvanas led them to break free.

They made the ruins beneath Lordaeron their home, the Undercity, and joined the Horde as uneasy allies. They trust no one fully and fight for their own survival above all, and the living are as likely to fear them as to fight beside them.

Which class should an Undead play?

Paladin is the most unexpected pick in the game. An Undead calling on the Light that once turned against them is a story waiting to be told, and no other Horde race can play one. Expect curious looks from friend and foe alike.

Warlock, Mage and Priest are the classic Undead casters, with Shadow Priest a long-time favorite. Rogue suits a race that hides in the dark, and Warrior works for anyone who wants to keep swinging after death.

Pick what you’ll enjoy, not a “best class” list. Undead are Horde, so make sure that’s where your friends are.
