The Vrykul of the Howling Fjord make it very clear that you're not welcome as you arrive on the ship from Menethil Harbor. This is the remains of a previous Alliance vessel.

Utgarde Keep, seen here from afar, is the seat of power for the Vrykul. Within the Keep is a pair of 5-man dungeons: Utgarde Keep and Utgarde Pinnacle. The first is tuned for level 70 players, the second is tuned for level 80 players.

I don't usually like taking screenshots of cliff walls, but I found the ride to Valgarde to be especially breathtaking. Unfortunately, screenshots do not do it justice.

Cobalt is one of the new metals and mining nodes in Wrath, and it's plentiful in the Fjord. It comes in regular and Rich varieties.

This shot is taken above Valgarde. Utgarde Keep can be seen on the right.

Yes, that's another shot of Utgarde.

The Ember Clutch burns eternally with magical flame.

These Val'kyr are servants of the Lich King and hold dominion over the spirit world. Here you see them inside of a Vrykul crypt.

Hey, more undead!

Oh look, undead.

The Ancient Lift is probably how you will reach Kamagua for the first time. Beautiful scenery.

Some landscape from The Ancient Lift's gondola.

Even more landscape from The Ancient Lift's gondola.

Welcome to the Kalu'mak island of Kamagua.

Kamagua eye candy.

An Explorer's League digsite, unearthing remnants of the Titans.

The aforementioned Explorer's League digsites have awakened the Iron Dwarves.

The Iron Dwarves use ancient runic magic to control these fellows.

The Iron Dwarves also use ancient runic magic to shackle and enslave these earth elemental giants. Yes, those are trees on its back.

Hmm, what's this? A cave? Let's explooore!

Oh, I can go left, or I can go right. I wonder what I'll find on the... right!

...okay, going right may have been a bad idea. Let's go left instead.

Okay, going left really wasn't a much better option. Let's get the hell out of here.

Pretty above water.

And pretty below water.

Shortly after this picture was taken, I was eaten by a whale. I'm serious.

An overhead view of the Forsaken settlement Vengeance Landing.

This tuskarr has a sily mustache, so I've deemed him worthy of being in this gallery.

The FOrsaken have unleashed their plagues on the village of Halgrind.

Nymphs have received a new model in Wrath, though the Northrend variety is a little more chaotic. Most of them are unfriendly to the Horde and the Alliance.

I've discovered that it is difficult to take close up head-on screenshots of creatures much taller than you are as a dwarf, but here you go.

This region of the Howling Fjord is known as the Vibrant Glade. The nymphs here are not so nice.

This region is called Gjalerbron, an outdoors region with many powerful elites. Beneath Gjalerbron, many Vrykul are still dormant.

A dormant vrykul beneath Gjalerbron.

The best part of the Howling Fjord can be seen here. I am not really sure what it is, some kind of sea lion I guess.
