This week we delve into the Forsaken, World of Warcraft's undead race, and look at their past, present, and future prospects in WoW. How will the race fare in Cataclysm? Take a look at this week's Loremaster's Corner to find out.

Essentially, Kel’thuzad placed the Burning Legion’s plague of undeath inside of the grain in the outlaying areas of Lordaeron. This grain turned many of the inhabitants into undead soldiers directly commanded by the Lich King and began to spread the plague turning the living into the, well, un-living. Arthas, being a good guy at the time, tried to stop it but somehow found Team Rocket the Scourge to be his new ally after he found a Master Ball and caught Mew’thuzad Frostmourne.

The Forsaken in Cataclysm is part of our Loremaster's Corner, looking at the lore in World of Warcraft each week.
