I know the Goblin city has existed in lore since the beginning but is there a reason we, as a collective player group, never went there. You would think with the goblins as a playable character at some earlier point they would want to see their home.
Are there tunnels somewhere on
Kalindor and the Eastern kingdom? Was the only way lost when Kazan was lost to the Malestrom?
After Deathwing caused Kajaro to erupt during the Cataclysm, the molten lava threatened to incinerate the island, and though the ultimate fate of Undermine remains unknown,[5] the city was presumably heavily damaged, being as it was under Kajaro. Immediately after the disaster, some goblins believed all of Kezan to have been destroyed,[8] though this later proved to be incorrect.
Undermine - Wowpedia - Your wiki guide to the World of Warcraft
Fun fact: Undermine was present on maps before Vanilla WoW was released, they had plans for it as an island zone. (Also, Outland was going to be in Vanilla before they decided to make the first expansion, and Pandaren were going to be the Alliance race instead of Draenei.)
But the technology to make fully-underground zones wasn’t really a thing yet.
Deepholm didn’t exist until Cataclysm and it has a “sky”, so not even a fully underground zone.
Anyways, pretty sure Undermine was also wrecked by Deathwing attacking the world- in BfA, we learn huge parts of Zandalar sunk beneath the sea before we arrive there.
Wouldn’t surprise me if a large part of Undermine caved-in or something.
Thanks for the information. Been so long since map of Cataclysm that I forgot that Kazan once existed where the Malestrom now exists.
During Illidan’s sundering the planets fault lines for a better term moved. The very coreway that used to go inside the Earth to facilitate working on the World Soul even shifted and moved away from where it was.
Combine this with all the other disasters it seems lots of things were lost (to be found again) all across Azeroth.
