Gjalerbron



Gjalerbron (pronounced "Shalerbron") 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.
