The Northrend’s howling wind and the entire Northrend in this sense has a northern hemispherical feel / influence (Scandinavians, Canadians etc.). Howling Fjord is the perfect example, it looks very Scandinavian, particularly like the old Norway.

Howling Fjord received its name because the wind that races in from the sea on all three sides produces a constant howl, like a maddened beast seeking its prey. It’s not as heavily forested as the Grizzly Hills, or as hilly, but the temperature here is a little milder; between that and the flatter terrain it’s an ideal place to grow grain and other crops. Small farms dot the landscape, particularly down south near Valgarde. To the north the trees begin again, and creatures roam there from the hills above, making it more dangerous but also an excellent place for hunters.

The Howling Fjord is a zone located in southeastern Northrend. Ripped into the southern coastline lies Daggercap Bay, where the forces of Arthas originally landed on the continent. Stranded by the young prince, the 5,000-strong expedition set up the outpost of Valgarde. The small settlement has since become the center of Alliance activity on Northrend. Other Alliance outposts include Westguard Keep and Fort Wildervar.

The majestic fortress known as Utgarde is located in the center of this zone; it is a dungeon complex and one of its sections, Utgarde Keep, is one of the two first instances (the other one being Utgarde Pinnacle) that players encounter when first arriving to Northrend.

Howling Fjord contains bases of both factions and does not have a faction-specific emphasis. From the tuskarr settlement of Kamagua on the Isle of Spears, located off the southwestern coast, there is a giant turtle vessel able to transport players to Moa’ki Harbor in the Dragonblight and from there on to Unu’pe in the Borean Tundra.

  1. In my mind, I thought this remake would be like a normal video. But I forgot that filming on a Beta server is a challenge. Visual glitches and things which are not ready in general made my work complicated (e.g.: I am sure you won't notice much, but the boats don't have people in them. The Lifts have visual glitches, very annoying when you notice). Also, this would have been a two-hour movie, because the area is just huge. I've tried to show as many zones as possible, without rushing things too much. If you want to see more, it looks like you have to play it yourself or wait for some gameplays 🙂

  6. You think you could do dungeons this same way? A lot of dungeons have really good music that isn't just a copy paste from the zone they're located in and a lot of them, especially in wrath, have really good music in them.

  8. Ah simply stunning. I can never forget the feeling upon entering Howling Fjord for the first time; the sombre yet majestic tunes, the shift in atmosphere, the chills, absolutely surreal. The intro, Utgarde themes, the melancholic woodwinds of Skorn upon the howling winds..just breathtaking 😌 Thank you for another wonderful adventure.

  17. I started leveling an alt in HF today and quickly realized that I never heard the music in most wotlk zones at launch 😲
    This soundtrack is absolutely stunning!
    I probably wouldn't have appreciated it as much back in 08 as an 18 year old though 😅 When pushing for level 80 I was blasting Blue Stahli and Celldweller.

  22. Wai u do dis to me, I wana forget as much as possible the wotlk related music and everything actually, so I can somehow enjoy it once again with classic release. Since a complete memory eraser, brain wash, lobotomy thingy is out of the question, only way to do that is to stay away from youtube videos with such content. And now, after watching a Bellular video, bam, Howling Fjord music in my room. Not fair, Now I start googleing again about leaks for wrath classic release date and all. Anyway, your channel is great, youtube knows too well I am loving it.

  38. I think Wrath is my favorite expansion. The whole experience was amazing. And as far as story lines, being a WC3 player prior to WoW coming out, I really like the Arthas story line.
