Lore
The Forsaken hold the plague-scarred north under Sylvanas Windrunner. Forever keeps Tirisfal Glades as the haunted 1-10 start and Undercity as the subterranean capital, without requiring later expansion politics to make the race playable. On the kit side, Will of the Forsaken still breaks Charm, Fear, and Sleep, Cannibalize turns corpses into Health and Mana, Touch of the Grave adds a small drain chance, and Underwater Breathing stretches aquatic routes. Forever newly opens Paladin while still denying Hunter, which matters when you plan alt lines.
Faction, capital, and leader
Undead fight for the Horde. The capital is Undercity, and the named leader for Forever Classic-era framing is Sylvanas Windrunner. Use that when you pick faction identity, city services, and the elevator or zeppelin exits out of Tirisfal.
Starting in Tirisfal Glades
You begin in Tirisfal Glades. Follow the Deathknell and Brill hubs on that zone page, then descend into Undercity before you leave for Silverpine and the wider Horde map.

Classes
New Forever combo highlight: Paladin. Undead have no Hunter, Druid, or Shaman lane in Forever.
Who should roll Undead
Roll Undead if you want fear breaks, corpse eating between pulls, and the new Horde Paladin. Priest, Mage, Warlock, Rogue, and Warrior all still feel native in Tirisfal. If you need a pet class, look at Orc, Troll, or Tauren instead.
