Halgrind was a vrykul town found in Howling Fjord. Halgrind was exposed to the new plague being designed by the Royal Apothecary Society.

Trivia

• It may be a possible reference to "Helgrind" from the Eragon series of books by Christopher Paolini.
• It could also be an amalgamation of the words "Hael", the Old-Norse word for Hell, and "Grind", the Swedish word for gate. As the vrykul are themselves a reference to vikings, it would seem very appropriate.

Patch changes

• Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Added.
