When you die in the Storm Peaks you will now be mounted on a spectral gryphon as of build 8820.
The reasoning behind this is that there are lots of mountains in this zone, so it will make it easier to get to your corpse.
A welcomed change, in my opinion.
Norse mythology parodies everywhere, epic place.
