||
| − | '''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> |
||
| + | *[[Companion]] pets when summoned will now only despawn when another pet is summoned or they're dismissed. This includes death of a player, loading screens, and being logged out. |
||
| + | *Damage-dealing knockback abilities will no longer knock the target away if the damage results in a killing blow. This change is likely a workaround for a bug that would often make NPCs killed by knockbacks unlootable without logging out and logging back in. |

| − | 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 of the more intelligent [[Scourge]] became "unemployed", among them the Val'kyr -- who have been conscripted into the Forsaken's 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. |

||
| + | ==Dungeons & Raids == |
||
| − | The addition of the Val'kyr has solved the Forsaken's major biological restraint -- the inability to procreate. The Val'kyr have been deployed into several battles since their conscription, notably throughout [[Silverpine]] and [[Andorhal]], both of which were sound Forsaken victories due to the Val'kyr's input. Though the resurrection process is not without it's own risks. Many don't survive the initial shock of being revived, turning into zombies or ghouls. They're are those who retain enough humanity to seem normal but are in reality sick inside like the [[Rotbrain undead]]. In some extreme cases the process can strip all rational thought, this happening with [[Dumass]]. |

| − | Vague reference is given to a "pact" made between the Dark Lady and the Val'kyr, though its content is unknown. The Val'kyr appear to be highly loyal to their new faction, and three of them [[Agatha|gave]] [[Daschla|their]] [[Arthura|lives]] to save that of Sylvanas'. |

Possible bugs

- The mounts of the questgivers in Tol Barad don't use the flying animation anymore and appear to be standing in the air. Petty Officer Chulok's mount in Tol Barad Peninsula does not fly anymore as well, but stands on the ground, maybe the intended behavior.
