Three Dreadlords were left behind to guard the fallen lands of Lordaeron and were unaware of the fall of the Burning Legion at the Battle of Mt. Hyjal and were waiting for news from their lord, Archimonde. Though they rousted King Arthas from the Capital City and gained control of most of his previous forces, the Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner, no longer under the control of the weakening Lich King, fought with them and successfully defeated the Dreadlord's grip on the Plague Lands, establishing a faction known as the Forsaken, a variation of the Undead not loyal to the Lich King.
