If I lived in Silvermoon and suddenly I had, for several expansions, to inhabit the sewers of a ruined gray stone castle and then a red wallow full of spikes, I would be a ball of resentment too. The city is gorgeous, the forests are so pretty, and they have hookah lounges and disco bars at every block, even the Magisters’ plutocracy may be tolerable with all that entertainment.

Mind you, after her soul was torn out — then bound to her murderer’s will — Sylvanas would’ve known the orders for other undead to collect her corpse as a trophy, which he apparently flaunted & flailed from the front-wall of Silvermoon to break the spirits of the defenders of Quel’Thalas as he marched forward.
- To top it off, you had Arthas bound her will to kill her own people she sought desperately to protect – again, again and again — Relentlessly, as her kingdom and people from men, women and as we know - even children — were slaughtered all around her, or BY her.
- Up to the point where Arthas claimed his prize @ the Sunwell, resulting in its corruption with the vast powers of undeath and known fate that it’d either GROW in that power of undeath devastating her kingdom with its energies, or be destroyed before that — Yet either way, devastate those who remain of her people that she helped slaughter and torment.
And then left the kingdom in the wake of its ashes, death and known future tragedy & sorrow that would’ve followed — Sylvanas’ rage from all that alone would’ve been enough.
Then you add in the depth of them realising that she was not the ONLY one who suffered a likewise fate. That there were many amongst the undead who had their wills bound and forced to destroy, murder and descreate that which they loved or had once called home …
That regardless of whether they were elf or not – The truest torment wasn’t necessarily what they were, but what had followed against their will and the sorrow of their soul by their own actions and eyes — yet not of their own mind — when forced by those who subjugated them.
The Forsaken
The above should’ve been what the Forsaken should’ve capitalised on, honestly.
Finding others who were bound into undeath – Free them – then unite them under their wing.
That they don’t necessarily condemn undeath — but they condemn the subjugation of ones free-will, mind and soul – IN undeath.
As opposed to … whatever the heck it is they’re supposed to represent now
