You hail from Nar-Forbannel, the "Kingdom Near the Curse." While others flee the blight of the Lich-King’s lands or the shifting mists of the Vel-Marsh, you were trained to walk the line. You are not a hero; you are a containment specialist. You know the smell of necrotic soil, the shimmer of air that betrays a magical trap, and the exact half-life of a banshee’s scream. Whether you were a soldier in the Border Legion or a scavenger recovering artifacts from the ruins, you have seen things that would shatter a lesser mind—and you learned to keep walking.
