===Legion===
Following the Battle for Broken Shore, Jorach Ravenholdt came into contact with a rogue hero by sending a messenger carrying a sealed letter, inviting them to join him alone and in complete discretion in the Hall of Shadows through his contact "Red" Jack Findle in the Glorious Goods of Dalaran. In the Chamber of Shadows, the rogue hero met the Council of Shadows who invited them to take their seat as the final Shadow, and help them lead the Uncrowned.Call of The Uncrowned
After the presentation of the secret organization, their methods, and their goals, the now complete Council of Shadows organized itself to obtain the legendary artifacts that are The Kingslayers: Anguish and Sorrow, The Dreadblades: Fate and Fortune, and the Fangs of the Devourer: Gorefang and Akaari's Will, to equip their champion who operate outside and vanquishes their foes.A Worthy Blade
The Shadow Council celebrated their success over glasses of wine after successfully securing all of the artifacts, but they were poisoned by Vanessa VanCleef, Kingpin of the Defias Brotherhood, who had survived in the Deadmines through the use of neurotoxin against its opponents. However, she was defeated by the Last Shadow, and had no other choice but to serve the latter or to be executed by the Uncrowned. She chose the second option and joined the ranks of the organization with her men.Honoring Success

Following the recruitment of Winstone Wolfe into their ranks,The Big Bad Wolfe (quest)What Winstone Suggests the Uncrowned became interested in the discovery of the body of an SI:7 agent in the sewers of Dalaran.

Following the recruitment of Yancey Grillsen,Convincin' Old Yancey (quest) responsible for recruiting more pirates into their ranks,Fancy Lads and Buccaneers the Uncrowned mobilized to create diversions in order to prevent the SI:7 from being present in Val'sharah and staying away from Black Rook Hold, while they continue to decipher the letter.Throwing SI:7 Off the Trail
To discover the contents of the letter, Valeera Sanguinar investigated with the Last Shadow on a magical jewel, The Raven's Eye, created by the vrykul Havi, and which was once used by Ravencrest's almost perfect espionage team during the War of the Ancients.Maw of Souls: Ancient Vrykul Legends As a result of their research, they finally managed to get it from Dantalionax in the Black Rook Hold.Black Rook Hold: Into Black Rook Hold
Now in possession of the Raven's Eye, the Uncrowned used it to decipher the encrypted SI:7 Letter and discovered that Mathias Shaw had been kidnapped following a demon attack led by the dreadlord Detheroc who took his place to manipulate the SI:7 and the Alliance, which explained the murder of Amber Kearnen who knew the truth.Deciphering the Letter The Order reacts in consequence by telling the truth to King Anduin Wrynn in order to prevent the Alliance from being devoured from within by the Legion, while searching through the Broken Isles to find the Spymaster.Where In the World is Mathias? They eventually discovered that he was being held captive at Felsoul Hold in Suramar, and called on Marin Noggenfogger to create an explosive diversion for the Last Shadow and Taoshi to save Mathias Shaw from his jailer.A Burning DistractionThe Captive SpymasterPicking a Fight
Once free, Mathias Shaw thanked the Uncrowned for their help and announced that he knew about Detheroc's plans to create an open conflict between the Alliance and the Horde, so that the Legion can prevail. The Spymaster then came up with an infiltration plan to eliminate Detheroc, which was accepted by the Council of Shadows.A Simple Plan The Champions of the Uncrowned carried out the plan by infiltrating Stormwind City and succeeded in revealing Detheroc's true identity before eliminating him, preventing the rise of a conflict between the two factions, and allowing Mathias Shaw to resume his post, now an ally of the Uncrowned.The Imposter

===Troops===
They deploy gangs of bandits, Defias thieves, crews of pirates, Uncrowned duelists, and Ravenholdt assassins.
*Often called common criminals, Bandits are often used by the Uncrowned to obtain information and goods through stealth or strongarm tactics.
*The hardened outlaws of the Defias Brotherhood, defiant against corrupt nobility, wear red bandanas in order to symbolize the blood shed by the oppressed.
*Bloodsail Buccaneers can fight on land and on sea, both sober and not. The sight of their crimson sails on the horizon is enough to convince their enemies to surrender before a single cannon is fired.
*"A dueling ring, here? I suppose if they're going to be degenerate gamblers anyway, they might as well stay in fighting shape." - Jorach Ravenholdt
*Ravenholdt's personal guard. Deployed from his manor whenever a "special" occasion demands it.Class Hall followers

==Notes and trivia==
*Every members of the organization carry the Uncrowned Insignia on their person at all times.
**Another means of recognition would be to make the sign of the Uncrowned, give the secret handshake, and wink at the other agent.Mr. Shackle#Quotes
*All information about the rogue artifacts were recorded by Filius Sparkstache in the Blood Ledger.
*It seems that the Uncrowned are ready to kill in order to protect their secrecy, as evidenced by the dead Unwary Adventurers in their class hall.
*During Legion's alpha, Mathias Shaw was a Shadow of the Uncrowned instead of being their "enemy" impersonated by Detheroc. An orc called The Hood was also present as the leader of the Shattered Hand. It is possible that Shaw and the Hood were both there as Alliance and Horde representatives respectively. They were later removed in a patch that also added Tess Greymane.
*A scrapped mission suggests that the Uncrowned would've been established only in LegionSpread the Word (rogue mission) rather than being a pre-existing organization.
*In Hearthstone, Tess Greymane's greetings emote is: "The Uncrowned send their regards." which is apparently an homage to 's line "The Lannisters send their regards."
*In the Battle for Azeroth alpha and beta, a club at Hook Point in Boralus had Uncrowned banners hanging on the walls.
