==Patches and hotfixes==
'''Val'kyr''' are a type of undead [[vrykul]], and seem to be a recent addition to the armies of the [[Scourge]] and later the [[Forsaken]]. They act as the [[Lich King]]'s agents in the spirit world, being described by [[Thoralius the Wise]] as being "fearsome creatures made of pure nightmare" that "now stand watch over the realm of the elements".<ref name="Echo of Ymiron">{{questlong|Alliance|71|The Echo of Ymiron}}</ref>

Val'kyr are created from the female vrykul dwellers of [[Valkyrion]] who accept the [[Lich King]]'s "gift".<ref>{{questlong|Neutral|80|Off With Their Black Wings}}</ref> [[Valkyrion Aspirant]]s can be found at Valkyrion as well as [[Nascent Val'kyr]]. At least one example exists of a female vrykul being turned into a val'kyr at another location as well.<ref>{{Mob|Svala Sorrowgrave}} encounter intro.</ref> Val'kyr serve as judges for vrykul combatants and decide which become [[vargul]] or [[ymirjar]],<ref>{{NPC|Neutral|Geirrvif}}</ref><ref>{{NPC|Neutral|Val'kyr Arbiter}}</ref> and also judge slain vrykul.<ref name="Echo of Ymiron" />

After the death of the Lich King, many val'kyr became "unemployed", and have been conscripted into the Forsaken ranks. In order to bolster the Forsaken's numbers, [[Sylvanas Windrunner]] has put them to work in resurrecting their dead enemies into their service, as explained to Warchief [[Garrosh Hellscream]] during a meeting in [[Silverpine Forest]]. [[Humans]] are the only race that Sylvanas' val'kyr are known to raise back from the dead.

==Sylvanas's Conversation With Garrosh==

After the death of the Lich King, many val'kyr became "unemployed", and have been conscripted into the Forsaken ranks. In order to bolster the Forsaken's numbers, [[Sylvanas Windrunner]] has put them to work in resurrecting their dead enemies into their service, as explained to Warchief [[Garrosh Hellscream]] during a meeting in [[Silverpine Forest]]:
 
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|Where is that ogre-headed buffoon?}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|Ah, speak of the devil ...}}
 
:''Portals from Orgrimmar arrive with Hellscream, Hellscream's elite, and [[High Warlord Cromush]].''
 
:''Hellscream jumps from the portal down to Sylvanas.''
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|This better be important, Sylvanas. You know how I detest this place and its foul stench. Why have you called for me?}}
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|And more importantly, what are those Scourge fiends doing here?}}
 
:''Garrosh makes a gesture at the Val'kyr.''
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|Warchief, so glad you could make it.}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|With the death of the Lich King, many of the more intelligent Scourge became...unemployed. Those 'fiends,' as you so delicately put it, are called val'kyr. They are under my command now...}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|...and they are part of the reason that I asked to see you.}}
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|Get on with it, Sylvanas.}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|Very well, Warchief. I have solved the plight of the Forsaken!}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|As a race, we Forsaken are unable to procreate.}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|With the aid of the val'kyr, we are now able to take the corpses of the fallen and create new Forsaken.}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|Agatha, show the Warchief!}}
 
:''The Val'kyr Agatha proceeds to resurrect fallen corpses as Forsaken.''
 
:{{text|say|High Warlord Cromush|ABERRATION!}}
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|What you have done here, Sylvanas... it goes against the laws of nature. Disgusting is the only word I have to describe it.}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|Warchief, without these new Forsaken my people would die out ... Our hold upon Gilneas and northern Lordaeron would crumble.}}
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|Have you given any thought to what this means, Sylvanas?}}
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|What difference is there between you and the Lich King now?}}
 
:{{text|say|Lady Sylvanas Windrunner|Isn't it obvious, Warchief? I serve the Horde.}}
 
:''Sylvanas mockingly salutes Garrosh.''
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|Watch your clever mouth, bitch.}}
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|Cromush, you stay behind and make sure the Banshee Queen is well "guarded." I will be expecting a full report when next we meet.}}
 
:{{text|say|High Warlord Cromush|As you command, Warchief!}}
 
:{{text|say|Garrosh Hellscream|Remember, Sylvanas, eventually we all have to stand before our maker and face judgment. Your day may come sooner than others...}}

==Inspiration==
 
"Val'kyr" is an obvious reference to the [[wikipedia:Valkyrie|Valkyries]] of Norse myth — minor female deities in the service of Odin. Their duty was to choose the most heroic spirits of slain warriors and take them to Valhalla, where they would serve at Odin's side in the Ragnarök.
