Aberrations

Quest Giver: Thyra Kvinnshal — Brunnhildar Village, Storm Peaks [50, 66]

Objective: Obtain Vials of Frost Oil from Valkyrion Aspirants, then use them to destroy 30 Plagued Proto-Drake Eggs at Valkyrion.

Quick Facts

• Location: Valkyrion [24, 62]
• Pairs With: Off With Their Black Wings, Yulda’s Folly, Valkyrion Must Burn
• Daily Version: Unlocks The Aberrations Must Die after completion (given by Gretta the Arbiter at Brunnhildar Village).

Walkthrough

Step 1: Collect Frost Oil

• Kill Valkyrion Aspirants around [25, 60]. These are the ground-based vrykul mobs in the area (not to be confused with the flying Nascent Val’kyr).
• Vials of Frost Oil drop at roughly a 50% rate. You need 5 to 6 vials total, so expect around 10-12 kills.
• Mages: You can Spellsteal the Aspirants’ buff for bonus damage.

Step 2: Destroy the Eggs

• Head to The Blighted Pool, a murky brown-orange pool at the northwest edge of Valkyrion, around [23, 58].
• The eggs sit in clusters of 5 or 6 around the pool. Use one Vial of Frost Oil per cluster; it functions as an AoE that freezes and destroys all eggs in the group.
• Target clusters of 6 to finish in exactly 5 vials (5 x 6 = 30). If you hit a cluster of 5, you may need a 6th vial for the remainder. Careful aim can sometimes catch a stray egg from an adjacent cluster.

Efficiency Tips

• This quest should be completed alongside the other three Valkyrion quests, all picked up from Brunnhildar Village:
  • Off With Their Black Wings: Kill Nascent Val’kyr (the glowing flying mobs above Valkyrion). You’ll aggro plenty of these while doing Aberrations.
  • Yulda’s Folly: Kill Yulda the Stormspeaker in her building at [24, 62]. Check the chest next to her to pick up Valkyrion Must Burn.
  • Valkyrion Must Burn: Use the harpoon guns at [27, 60] to ignite haystacks near buildings. Only 2-3 may be in range at once, but they respawn quickly.
• On busy servers, the Aspirants can be heavily contested since both this quest and its daily version draw players here. Off-peak hours help significantly.

Lore Context

Valkyrion is home to Hyldnir vrykul, who betrayed their traditions by pledging loyalty to the Lich King. Their sisters in Brunnhildar Village rejected the Scourge’s advances three times (dismembering each emissary). Thyra Kvinnshal considers the Valkyrion vrykul traitors for raising plagued proto-drakes from blight instead of capturing wild drakes in the traditional way.

The Valkyrion Aspirants are vrykul women training to “accept the Lich King’s gift” and be transformed into Val’kyr, the Scourge’s winged spirit agents. This process is a dark mirror of the original Val’kyr created by Odyn, who were warriors of the Light.
