Well the only one actually living in the concentration camp they forced the orcs into is the Forsaken so at least they have an idea of what the orcs went through living in the Captial City sewer system. That I think is a fair quid pro quo and why the Forsaken have evolved beyond who they were as humans.
Maybe the living refugees of Lordaeron should be made to live in Undercity too, to get a taste of what the orcs went through.
Undercity was a crypt and sewer system that was converted into a prison for orcs, using Genn Greymaneâs money. Jaina visits imprisoned orcs in the Undercity in Arthas: Rise of the Lich King when she visits Arthas in Lordaron for the Wickerman festival. They locked Orc women and children in cages under Capital City not prisoners, even Jaina recounts at the time how inhumane it was, how lifeless the orcs eyes were, like they were absolutely lacking the will to live. Thatâs some Aucshwitz level stuff.
The Undercity as it is now didnât exist prior to Lordaeronâs fall. It was constructed by the Scourge as an underground necropolis for Arthas to rule as âKing of Lordaeronâ from in the Lich Kingâs name.
The Forsaken chose to (un)live there in Vanilla because it was both more defensible than Capital City, and also because they just plain liked it more than Capital City because it was built for undead.
One of the features of becoming undead is that you like slime rivers and rotting holes and coffins and other features of Halloween Town and actively prefer them over the sorts of environments humans enjoy.
Originally the Undercity was a much smaller complex of crypts and dungeons underneath the palace. It was a jail, but it wasnât built for Orcs. The only Orc of note who was imprisoned there was Doomhammer because he was a VIP.
Thatâs true. I donât pretend otherwise. I just know you donât get to pin internment camps on the Alliance if you do the Lordaeron LARP at the same time. Thatâs enough for my simple soul.
