Undermine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the fictional Transformers character see Undermine (Transformers).

Undermine is a fictional location in the Warcraft universe. The Undermine is supposedly on the Isle of Kezan, in the southern part of Azeroth. It's barely mentioned at all in Warcraft Lore, and only appears in some of the D&D sourcebooks^{[citation needed]}, as well as some brief mentionings. It is unclear if it will ever be seen in World of Warcraft.

The Undermine seems to be the home island of the Goblins, and is ruled by the Goblin Princes of Trade. Undermine has some surface areas, but it is mostly underground. A series of volcanic caverns, tunnels and chambers that span out of Isle of Kezan through the ocean floor, connecting to adjacent smaller islands to the west of Isle of Kezan. Slave pens and the Palaces of the Goblin Princes of Trade are located in Undermine. Besides Slaves, the tunnels are inhabited by a strange breed of goblins named Hobgoblins. Their lifespan is barely three years, and are overgrown in size. Hobgoblins are purple-skinned. They came to exist through alchemists experiementing during the second war on goblin subjects.

Undermine is also referenced in-game, see Undermine Clam Chowder. Undermine is also mentioned by Wharfmaster Dizzywig of Ratchet, who states: "...you could tell him that I've got some things from Undermine for him..." at the opening of the quest "The Missing Shipment, as well as during the Samophlange quest line.
