Tengisviða

Tengisviða is a fictional concept originating from the online fantasy role-playing game, World of Warcraft. It is not a real-world object or phenomenon. Within the game's lore, tengisviða are depicted as spectral entities or creatures associated with the Shadowlands, a plane of existence where mortal souls go after death. These beings are often described as enigmatic and sometimes malevolent, interacting with adventurers and the game's narrative in various quests and storylines. Their appearance is typically ethereal, shimmering, and translucent, reflecting their non-corporeal nature. The term itself is a neologism created for the game's fantasy setting. The specific abilities and motivations of tengisviða can vary depending on their in-game context, but they generally represent the mysterious and often dangerous aspects of the Shadowlands. Players may encounter them as enemies to be fought, quest givers, or elements of the environment that contribute to the atmosphere and lore of the game world. Their presence serves to deepen the player's understanding of the afterlife within the game's fictional cosmology.
