This is a three map based campaign about a mage apprentice of Dalaran during the Rein of Chaos events.
She awakes as undead minion of a Dread Lord. He explains her that he is in cold war against his brothers for the land they have conquested. Balnazzar got the biggest piece of the cake but he, who forged the spells of the Lich King himself, got nothing more than a minion (she). So he will use her to conquer the land that he deserves. She refueses, so he bonds a book on her, the Necronomicon. This cursed item is soul bonded and can't be throw away unless the dread lord allows it. The book drains healt of the soul bounded but also heal the user with the fresh souls of the victims. Also can reanimate bodies.

Forced in her willing to survive, our young lich is ordered to murder a town at south of Dalaran and reanimate all the bodies she can so the dread lord can use them as an army against his brothers. She also murder children and women in her will to survive the curse of the necronomicon returning to the Dread Lord and begging him to remove the curse.

The Dread Lord, pleased for her extraordinary work in town, explain that the only way to remove the curse is going into a cave where red dragons await. The dragonsouls of the lifebringers (red dragons) will balance the corrupted forces of the necronomicon. Our hero then enters the cave. She notices that the necronomicon has been updated and can summon three kind of skeletons (mage, archers and melee) without lifetime but limited to the souls she collects. She kills all the creeters (kobolds) inside the cave and start hunting the red dragons after opening the gate that the kobolds were protecting.

The dragon souls not only upgrade the necronomicon but also allow her to summon demons who take life of her when are summoned. However this demons can't be consumed as the skelletons for the dark pact that heals her. The necronomicon start to gain life regen for each dragon that she hunts and allow her to summon a different demon (max 4 kind) with lifetime.

Finally she faces the mother red Dragon who is anger because the murder of her children so the fight begins. Once you defeat her the Dread Lord spawns, congratulates you and then steal the Necronomicon of your body and summon a Demon to kill you. You fight against the demon but you are injured because the fierce battle you fought minutes before. When the demon is close to kill you a Red Welp ofer to bond his soul to you in a pact of the ethereal Realm: you gonna use the lifebringer power in order to take the Dread Lord's life as revenge for her mother's death.

Once you accept the gift, the dragon gives you the ability to summon a welp that can grow up for each unit he kills until a Big Red Dragon. Now with this power you fight against the dread lord. Once you defeat him you claim the necronomicon for you and start hearing the voice of a new master who calls you to Northrend, however the little welp will follow you till the end of the world.

As you can see there are not names yet and the story still rogue. The big part of the maps would be triggers for the objects and souls you must collect, after that, the project is just straigt foward. Leave your oppinion about the story and recomendations. Sorry for my bad english at some point xD and thank you for read!
