Lore
The Scourge (sometimes called the Undead Scourge or Scourge Army) is one of three major undead factions existing in the world of Azeroth (the other two being the Forsaken and the Knights of the Ebon Blade). Until recently, it was a major player for control of the world. Created initially as the precursor to an invasion by the Burning Legion, the Scourge broke free from their demonic masters and — under the iron rule of the dread Lich King — have built up their power base on the arctic continent of Northrend. Their influence spreads throughout Northrend, as well as the Plaguelands in northern Lordaeron and southern Quel'Thalas, and even Kalimdor to a small degree. Consisting of thousands of walking corpses, disembodied spirits, beasts of the north, and damned mortal men, the Scourge is a terrifying and insidious enemy which, before its downfall, was perhaps the most dangerous threat to the world of Azeroth.
Following the end of the Scourgewar, the Scourge became relatively quiet, controlled by the new Lich King Bolvar Fordragon with the Helm of Domination. However, after the Fourth War, the helm was shattered by Sylvanas Windrunner to destroy the Veil between Azeroth and the Shadowlands. Since that moment, the Scourge became leaderless, and is now an aimless mass of undead rather than a force organized, which aimed at the hearts of all living things.
