Chapter 1633: Silver Pine Dispute
Today’s territorial disputes arise from the conflict between the undead under the queen and the Werewolf Kingdom.
The Undercity, also known as the Undead Capital, borders the fertile Silverpine Forest.
This area was once the core region of the Seven Human Kingdoms, and the Silverpine Forest was divided into three parts.
One-third was shared by the Undercity’s former kingdom, Lordaeron, and another third was occupied by the Mage City of Dalaran. At the time, the Werewolf Kingdom, still a Human Kingdom, held the remaining third.
When the Scourge invasion erupted, Lordaeron fell, and Dalaran relocated its kingdom to the Northern Continent, the Scourge Legion’s base, to counter the Scourge.
Only Gilgises, fearing the power of the undead and deeming them invincible, chose isolation.
They built a tall wall encircling the entire kingdom along the edges of the Silverpine Forest, cutting ties with the rest of the world and neglecting the fate of the other allied kingdoms.
Even when human refugees sought asylum, they were never allowed entry. Later, the queen freed herself from the Scourge Legion’s control, seized the Undercity, and naturally claimed the Silverpine Forest as undead territory.
This isolated human kingdom suffered as well. The matter of the Blue Moon Artifact, Moon God’s Scythe, led to an epidemic in the kingdom—the lycanthropy epidemic.
