The '''Upper Kingdom''' is one of the sections of [[Azjol-Nerub]].
 
 
== Warcraft III ==
 
{{WC3-section}}
 
The Upper Kingdom was the area seen during the mission "[[Ascent to the Upper Kingdom]]." It was seemingly only seen in that mission. It encompassed the sections of Azjol-Nerub stretching from the area beyond the fight with the [[Forgotten One]] to the Azjol-Nerub entrance to [[Icecrown]].
 
 
When [[Arthas]] entered the Upper Kingdom, he faced collapses caused by unexpected quakes and had to get beyond various [[nerubian]] traps while [[Anub'arak]] managed to get through by tunneling.<ref>http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/warcraft_3_frozen_throne___undead_campaign___chapter_7___part_3_ascent_to_t</ref>
 
 
== Description ==
 
{{RPG-section}}
 
The Upper Kingdom is one of the two sections of [[Azjol-Nerub]], the other being the [[Old Kingdom]].
 
 
This area includes more recent structures, built when the [[nerubian]]s grew too numerous to stay below. The [[War of the Spider]] was fought through here, so much of this area is destroyed. The [[Scourge]] now occupies this level; they've reopened damaged passages and cleared rubble-filled tunnels, but they did not bother to repair the many statues, friezes and murals that were ruined.<ref>''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', 90</ref>
 
 
== Battle.net map ==
 
Here in the shattered kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, pillars of ice pierce the land like the teeth of an enormous beast. Perhaps recruiting an ally from the native inhabitants would be wise. ''Note that this map was obviously above ground, whatever that may imply.''
 
 
== Wrath of the Lich King ==
 
{{Questlong|Neutral|80|Proof of Demise: Anub'arak}} refers to the [[Azjol-Nerub (instance)|section]] of Azjol-Nerub that Anub'Arak is fought in as the "Upper City." This may refer to that section of the city being part of the Upper Kingdom.
 
 
[[Azjol-Nerub (instance)|Azjol-Nerub]] was later confirmed to take place in the Upper Kingdom.<ref>http://us.battle.net/wow/en/zone/azjolnerub/</ref>
 
 
{{Speculation}}
 
Judging by its location, [[Naz'anak: The Forgotten Depths]] is probably a part of the Upper Kingdom.
 
 
== Notes ==
 
 
[[Queen Nezar'Azret]], who was fought in "[[Into the Shadow Web Caverns]]" was later said to have been killed in the Upper Kingdom.<ref>{{Loot|Poor|Scepter of Nezar'Azret}}</ref>
