Utgarde Keep (pronounced OOT-ghaard) is the name of a subzone in Howling Fjord, Northrend (as well as the name of the 5-man instance inside the lower levels of the keep). The keep is located on the shores of Lake Cauldros. Utgarde is inhabited by the vrykul (led by King Ymiron), a Viking-like race bent on proving their strength to the Lich King, who will raise the most worthy of their warriors to serve him beyond the grave. Enemy encounters include vrykul, undead, and more... The second wing, Utgarde Pinnacle, is a Heroic mode, 5-man instance for level 80 players.
