“The tournament is a time for testing your skills against your peers, but we must not forget that the real enemy, the Scourge, will not wait. As you hone your skills against others, so should you maintain your edge in combat against the enemy. Travel to the area southwest of the Valley of Fallen Heroes and north of Corp’rethar.
There, the Scourge raises dead heroes and turns them against us. Defeat these minions of the Scourge, do honor to our allies, and keep yourself prepared for combat.”

Lore Context
The Scourge is actively raising dead heroes and turning them against their former allies. The Converted Heroes are ghosts of fallen soldiers, forced to serve the Lich King. Killing them is framed not just as combat practice but as an act of mercy, freeing corrupted allies from Scourge servitude.

Do honor to our allies. What she meant was to go down between the Valley of Fallen Heroes and Corp’rethar and take ten of them apart.
Converted Heroes. Men who died on the right side and were stood back up on the wrong one.
“Have you tested yourself in combat against the Scourge?”
“Welcome back from your exercises, Vikstone,” Illestria Bladesinger said. “I’m confident that you will make us proud when the competition starts.”
Make us proud. Down the hill there are heroes in Alliance plate walking north, and ten a day come apart to keep a man’s edge.
The Scourge was never the part of this the delegations cared about, and the fights that actually build a reputation among the valiants happen in The Grand Melee.
