Trivia

• Thrall (Old Norse: þræll) was the term for a serf or unfree servant in Scandinavian culture during the Viking Age. Thralls were the lowest in the social order and usually provided unskilled labor during the Viking era.
• The Risen Thrall accounted for more player deaths than any other creature during the first year after release, according to the Guild Wars 2 anniversary infographic.
