Death Queen Angerboda
UNDER CONSTRUCTION related to Spider Kingdom Expansion Concept
In life, Death Queen Angerboda was the wife of Ymiron, king of the vrykul people. She lost her life to enemies of the Scourge while attempting to awaken her slumbering husband in Winter's Terrace.
The Raising of the Death Queen
After the death of Arthas, many of the more intelligent Scourge regained their independence and broke away from the control of the new Lich King. San'layn Blood Princes, recognizing the power that the vrykul had, schemed to bring them under their control. Knowing the vrykul had little respect for elves, the San'alyn retrieved the corpse of Angerboda and resurrected her, plotting to use her as a pawn to manipulate the vrykul. Almost immediately, Angerboda turned on the San'layn and destroyed them, seizing control of their forces for herself. Rallying all vrykul still loyal to the ideals of the Scourge to her side, Angerboda and her forces became one of the most powerful of the Scourge remnants.
Angerboda's Scourge
Angerboda has rejected the new Lich King and his desire to keep the Scourge contained. She seeks to raise her own army, one loyal to her alone. To this end, she has seized control of the remaining vrykul forces that once served the Scourge, and taken control of the Cult of the Damned that remain in Northrend. She has focused her efforts on unearthing more of the slumbering vrykul from the Howling Fjord, where thousands still sleep in buried crypts and tombs.
