That's entirely because of Valgarde, however — without that city it would be an even match between those humans and dwarves and the Drakkari and the furbolgs, not to mention the murlocs as well.
Almost everyone lives in Valgarde. The exceptions are the farmers, who have their thickwalled farmhouses by their fields, and the hunters and trappers, who live in small camps among the trees and come south only to trade or sell. This region is also the only Alliance-dominated region in Northrend. The Howling Fjord really is Alliance territory, though, and here the Drakkari and even the furbolgs are the ones at risk.
Recently, the vrykul have appeared and the Forsaken have built a city , contesting the region's Alliance territory status. Howling Fjord was a favorite on Northrend from the first time explorers reached the continent through the Daggercap Bay. The natural harbor provided an ideal launching point for expeditions throughout the continent.
After the Lich King arrived, the Scourge swept across the continent, conquering most of its races and claiming many of the towns and citadels.
During the Third War, Prince Arthas Menethil of Lordaeron arrived with his soldiers to destroy the dreadlord Mal'Ganis and punish him for the plague unleashed in his homeland. He searched for and obtained the cursed blade Frostmourne in the nearby region of Dragonblight , knocking out Muradin in the process. Arthas staggered away alone after the battle, and his men were left behind, stranded on Northrend.
These humans and dwarves founded Valgarde. They also built the fortifications that protect it to this day. As Valgarde grew, its residents forced the Drakkari and furbolgs back into the Grizzly Hills and beyond, making the region safe enough for brave farmers to till the land. In Wrath of the Lich King , the settlers of Valgarde have to deal with newly reawakened vrykul warriors, who raid them from their home of Utgarde Keep. In addition, Ironforge prospectors have discovered a new race of iron dwarves which may hint to their own ancient origins.
Finally, the Forsaken have settled here and engineered a new plague, ready to strike at the Lich King. Their main settlements are Vengeance Landing and the town of New Agamand , named after the famous mills family which once lived in the Tirisfal Glades. For the Alliance , there is a boat port connecting the town of Valgarde with Menethil Harbor in the Wetlands.
The Howling Fjord will reputedly see several famous faces on the front against the Scourge, including Sylvanas Windrunner , Tirion Fordring , and the legendary weapon Ashbringer. Players who are making the Fjord their first stop in Northrend had better be prepared to defend themselves! It is a zone riven by territorial disputes: In the east, the Alliance and the Horde continue their heated rivalry in an attempt to gain the coast. In the west, the Alliance is harried by the Northsea Freebooters.
Running up the center of the land mass, both factions struggle with fiercely entrenched vrykul forces. Most of the major questlines are shared by Horde and Alliance, with only the quest NPCs and their locations being unique.
This should produce elevated levels of conflict on PvP servers, as competition for quest mobs and target locations will be tight. Regardless of who they are, players should expect to gain notoriety in the tuskarr and pirate bands as dark spiritual influences become increasingly apparent. What secrets are held by the giant races of the land?
Are they best left unrevealed? Due to the topography and climate of the zone, it is quite possible that the Fjord is Azeroth's version of a Norwegian fjord.
