Before [[World of Warcraft]] shipped, [[Blizz]]ard talked about implementing something called a '''Hero Class'''. These would be classes derived from the base [[class]]es, but with more specialization and somewhat tied to Warcraft [[lore]]. The idea of a hero class is presumably taken from the Warcraft III hero units.

The thing to understand about those ideas is they were stated relatively early on when there were a lot of other concepts being juggled. It just so happens that these couple of concepts don't fit in with the current plans for World of Warcraft.

The Bloodcursed, a group of mostly naga, are found on the Bloodcursed Reef of Wyrmscar Island[1] and on Bloodcurse Isle,[2] both part of Bloodmyst Isle.[2] They have taken over several ancient night elven ruins in Azuremyst Isle and Bloodmyst Isle.

These naga have released a foul taint that keeps creatures from truly dying on the two islands east of Bloodmyst proper. This clan of naga is ruled by Atoph the Bloodcursed, who defends the statue of Azshara on Bloodcurse Isle.
