Context: I am still learning about the lore of Warcraft. Since having installed the VoiceOver addon, and actually taking my sweet time leveling a character on Era, I have discovered my favorite race of all of WoW - the Forsaken.
To go along side their already metal design and emotes, their lore prior to WoW to the lead up of WoW Vanilla really goes hard. Being a once humble human, forced to live under the will of the Lich King, then finally escaping it only to find out that even in death there is no solace for them. A husk of what was once called a human now slumps around the remnants of their forgotten homes–suffering the grueling fate of either living on remembering the pain they had just gone through, or slowly be driven to madness and turn into an even more savage ghoul.
Where is Alucard when you need him? 
I am a big fan of the theme surrounding the Forsaken. It gives me that HP Lovecraftian vibe - without the tentacles; those are reserved for the Old Gods. Now that I am reading the quests and really taking in the atmosphere, the Forsaken are one heck of a race to play. Their overall tone and motives for what they do hit hard to me. Makes me think about how fragmented their minds are, and how all sense of morality has gone out the window. All there is left for them is to share their plague of torment onto everything else in the name of… what? Vengeance? Envy? No, just because they can. They are already dead - what’s worse for a Forsaken than what they are already going through now? Ever want to match the average WoW player that just kills for the experience or loot, without even thinking of what they are really doing, the Forsaken is pretty much that in a nutshell. Just doing what they want because they can–it’s the only purpose they have for the rest of the undead lives.
