beccaelizabethBeen thinking on epic fantasy stuff:
Two kingdoms having a big fight, two sets of mountains with a plain between that has basically turned into a really big battlefield.
When battles start out there the dead rise and fight.
Each side blames the other for summoning them, but really it's just that they remember the fighting and get up to join in.
It's not some big horde of mindless enemy, it's the way after a fight has been going on long enough it's never just this one fight here and now, it's the echoes of what their great grandparents did to yours.
Discovering the truth about them undead armies and how to make them lie down again be the big plot, so if I were going to write this then this be big spoilers, but with my track record, I just bounce the idea out to see if it works.
