Gjalerbron
- Not to be confused with Gjalerhorn.
Gjalerbron (pronounced "Shalerbron")[1] is a vrykul fortress located in the mountains in the northern area of the Howling Fjord. Here, the vrykul — aided by the Scourge — conduct rituals, both to awaken long slumbering vrykul and presumably to raise dead vrykul as undead warriors. The Waking Halls can be found through an entrance on the lower tier, while Winter's Terrace can be found in the main structure. A secret tunnel is being dug to Gjalerbron from below Utgarde Keep.[2]
After the war against the Jailer, Muradin Bronzebeard reported that the area is still half-filled with slumbering vrykul, slowly being coaxed back to waking life by the vrykul necrolords. The air around Gjalerbron stinks of acrid, foul magic and the death stench of the frost wyrms that patrol overhead.[3]
