(I also keep thinking "wine-dark sea" is from Beowulf, but it's probably Shakespeare.) The Vrykul initially seemed like a distraction to me -- I wanted all classic Scourge, all the time! -- but now they're my favorite antagonist in Northrend. They feel totally organic, frightening yet plausible and the lore aspects are so, so good.
