[url=https://wow.gamepedia.com/Scourge]Link to a wiki page on the scourge.[/url] TL;DR They're a bunch of undead--ghouls, abominations (giant meat puppets made from flesh sewn together), geists, gargoyles, etc etc. General bad guys that might be some inspiration for the zombies here.

As for the setting, I'll probably go for a character from the highlands area. Was thinking a front line warrior with a mace and a large shield, with their birthplace helping to provide the brawn and bulk needed to stand on the front lines. A bit generic, I know, but a Northern barbarian (or well, more of a heavily armored fighter) sounds cool.

Not sure how I feel about a post every 3 days but I can for sure manage at least one per week.
