See that crate there.... Yeah, it's filled with bananas

(map)

You ever notice the balconies there in the in the Undercity? Yeah, it's right there above all the profession trainers in each quarter. See it now? Yes? No? Oh! And you can also see the bridges that connect to them when you take a flight in and out of the UC...

Impossible to get to, right?
Nope. Not at all actually.

There IS a way to get there. However it will require the Sewer entrance of the UC, the use of some type of slow fall ability, a riding mount, and some good timing. Maybe a little practice too. Need another hint? Here's one.

Oh yes, and when I took this screenshot, there was a crate there. It was filled with bananas.

Why bananas?

I have no clue.

The first rule about Fight Club is yadda, yadda, yadda...

(map)

Any fans of Fight Club out there? Then you really ought to stop by the War Quarter in the Undercity and take a look at the spectacle taking place. At the center of it all are two Forsaken characters mixing it up with a variety of different mobs.

These are references to the movie's narrator and protagonist, played by Edward Norton, who gets involved with a shady soap salesman named Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt.

I hear dead people

Today we'll be looking at various easter eggs hiding right under your noses. You'd be surprised how many easter eggs are littering the various faction capitol cities. Today's focus will be the Undercity, capitol of the Forsaken.

To start things off, we'll look at the throne room of the former king of Lordaeron. Looks pretty empty right? Just a lonely throne and the seal of Lordaeron illuminated by the skylight above.

Actually, there is a little more here than meets the eye, or rather, more to "hear".

While standing in the throne room, go into your audio settings and turn down or turn off the volume settings for the "music" and bump up the settings to max for the "amibient" sounds. Then make sure you are standing around the throne or seal area. If you stand there for a few moments, you can start to hear ghostly voices whispering softly to you.

If you are a lore junkie and fan of Warcraft III, you will recognize this as the scene where Arthas murdered his father in that very throne room.

If you look closely at the floor around the seal, you can even see a conspicuous splatter of old dried blood there from when the deed was done.

Additionally, if you do this same trick while in the hallway leading up to the throne room from the outside, you can hear the sounds of Lordaeron's former living citizens celebrating Arthas's return. Also, standing near the fallen bell will allow you to hear it ringing.
