Northrend!

I made it!

That's me, on the boat to Northrend:


And there it is....pretty ugly right? Yea...borean tundra is kind of a mess. It is a warzone out there, and it certainly shows...
But it isn't all tundra and ocean zombies...

There is also this vykrul castle, complete with a pinnicle! I ran Utguarde Keep, the level 70-71 instance, and it wasn't too bad. 3 boss encounters, took around an hour to do with 72-73's in outland epics, and me, the 70 death knight in greens and blues. I didn't have a damage meter, nor have I ever played a melee DPS in any kind of instance before, so I don't know how my dps faired overall. I think it was okay, though.

Also, the last boss bugged on us. He pulls a "I died...PSYCHE! I'm rezzed!" on the group, actually, he really does die, but then the Arthas angels come, "deem him worthy", and rez him into a half zombie half vyking. Pretty sweet right? Well...if you kill his normal phase TOO quickly, the whole middle part bugs, and he just lays there, with the angel in the air, and no way to select him. The fix was to run out of the instance, and then go back...he reset, and we slowly killed him. Piece of cake.

Then, I spent the next day and a half questing in Howling Fjord...which is very pretty:


That last place is a quazi zombie/scourge vykrul city...when you go inside, you find out that the queen of the vykrul is trying to raise the dead king of the vykrul from death. When you kill her...this happens:

OMFG The Lich King! So he totally is like "Hey, bro, so...go to Utgarde Pinnicle and wait for these fools to come find you and avenge your wife...and serve me!" So ghost vykrul does that. cool right? I think so.

So...That's all I have for now...Death Knight is at lvl 72, hopefully 73 by tonight. Enjoy the screenshots!
