| − | The '''kvaldir''', or ''tuk-hariq'' (meaning walkers of the fog/sons of the mist), are fearsome seafaring [[vrykul]] raiders who roam the seas raiding ships and coastal settlements. |

Due to most of the beaches being controlled by the [[tuskarr]], they set on destroying them first, among some [[naga]] as well. |

| − | Led by [[Drottinn Hrothgar]], they recently took over a tuskarr village on an island off the northern coast of [[Icecrown]] and renamed it [[Hrothgar's Landing]]. It is now a mist-shrouded staging point from which they launch attacks against [[Silver Covenant]] and [[Sunreavers]]' ships in the waters between the island and Icecrown. |

| − | ==Appearance== |
||
| − | Very similar to vrykul these creatures are covered in green scales, barnacles, and seaweed. When they die, they evaporate, leaving behind only their weapons and any seaweed or objects that were on their bodies. |

||
| − | *They appear to be based on the recordings of vikings having used mist as a way to mask their movements and create sneak attacks, which the kvaldir seem to excel at. |
||
| − | *They may be a reference to John Carpenter's {{wplink|The Fog}} which also features a race of raiders that are linked to a fog, much as the Kvaldir are linked to the mist. |

||
| − | ===Mist=== |
||
| − | The kvaldir cannot exist outside the mist with the exception of the raiders in [[Kaskala]], however, this could simply be that [[Blizz]]ard opted not to cover the area in mist. It is possible that the kaskalan Elder Muahit's quest to secure the aid of the elements against the kvaldir raiders is impacting the area. He mentions that the weather is assisting the Tuskarr, possibly by driving away the mist. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Battle Plans of the Kvaldir=== |
||
| − | In [[Patch 3.2.2]], a quest starting with Kvaldir battle plans involving series of devastating raids on [[Kalimdor]] and [[Eastern Kingdoms]] settlements was added. It hints that Kvaldir may appear in ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''. |
