Two weeks of no news, where are we standing now? Simple, no king rules forever! After having some signup issues with healers having aids. We finally had the time to kill Arthas. I wont lie the 5% buff helped us a lot in phase 3. At the start of phase 3 we lost our maintank healer and like 4-5 players on the first vile spirits. We can now relax the rest of the week! Hello 10man!
Frostmourne Hungers! Tonight we finally did it, Arthas the Lich King is defeated. Ofcourse after a nice 10.5% and 14% wipe. We will now put our full focus on 25man Lich King and the 10man heroic non-attempt bosses. The movie will be released in 2 parts, where you can see that we did phase 3 differently then most guild that killed it. Still alot of players dont even know who Bolvar is, so here we go!
Highlord Bolvar Fordragon Highlord Bolvar Fordragon was a venerated warrior of the Alliance and served as the Regent of Stormwind following the disappearance of King Varian Wrynn. After the treachery of Grand Apothecary Putress at the Battle of Angrathar the Wrathgate, Fordragon was believed to have been killed, either by the Forsaken Blight or the fires of the red dragonflight.
However, Fordragon survived, his body altered by the dragons' flame, and was tortured by the Lich King in an attempt to break him to his will. However, the noble spirit of Fordragon resisted the Lich King's deprevations. After the death of Arthas Menethil, the mortal host of the Lich King, Fordragon demanded that Tirion Fordring place the Helm of Domination, containing all of the powers of the Scourge, on his head, so that he would forever be the jailer of the damned - imprisoning the Lich King within the Frozen Throne once more and containing the threat of the Scourge.
The Splintered Throne (Shadowmourne)
Fri - 12 Feb
Written by Dotted
Highlord Darion Mograine wants you to collect 50 Shadowfrost Shards. The Lich King's throne once served as his prison. Kil'jaeden himself crafted the vessel of icy crystals from the twisting nether, its sole purpose to hold Ner'zhul's vengeful spirit. When Arthas struck the crystal with Frostmourne, he released Ner'zhul's soul, allowing it to merge with his own. Splinters from that impact are now scattered throughout the citadel. I shall require those shards, held only by the Lich King's most powerful servants, to seal the power contained in your blade.
We are now ready to farm 50 Shadowfrost Shards, with this we are the first guild on Aerie Peak to be able to loot those shards. Now lets work our way to a Lich King 25man and 10man kill. Thanks to everyone wanting to wipe a few times to get Daeid's quest done. A good example was our one shottable 900k Sindragosa wipe QQ.
- 1000 souls fed to Shadow's Edge - Infuse Shadow's Edge with Unholy power then slay Putricide - Infuse Shadow's Edge with Blood then defeat Lana'thel - Infuse Shadow's Edge with Frost then slay Sindragosa
The Frostwing Halls (25 player)

Written by Dotted
I choose you Sindragosa! After wasting several attempts on Professor Putricide due to lag. We started with a decent 14 attempts remaining. We decided to go with the same tactic as on 10man. This gave us extremely high dps uptime, 42nd of the world according to World of Logs. We can now focus on getting the Lich King down. This will be less stressful since the attempts are being removed next reset.
Blue post After each region's maintenance this week, raids will no longer lose attempts on wipes in Normal mode for Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Sindragosa, and the Lich King. There will still be limited attempts in Heroic mode. We will continue to monitor developments in Icecrown Citadel in the future, especially since the Heroic difficulty has been unlocked by a significant number of raids.
The Frostwing Halls (10 player)
Mon - 08 Feb
Written by Dotted
The Frostwing Halls, it was cold! Captain Brandon made us some hot chocolate. We still dont get it who invited him in our group, since hes wearing tier 8 10man gear. First we had to heal Valithria Dreamwalker, its always nice to blame the healers. After raging at dps that cant bite there target on Blood-Queen Lana'thel. But at the end of a raid we still make snow angels together. Next stop Sindragosa!
So we decided to get some Vampire action. After Putricide and Lana'thel had a nice vacation last week. Yes blizzard, goodjob the boss wasnt even there last reset. After 4 attempts we had the biting order sorted and had our famous 400k hp wipe. Now we can focus on The Frostwing Halls.
HISTORY Blood-Queen Lana'thel is the leader of the San'layn, a sect of blood elves who were raised in undeath by the Lich King.
Following the destruction of their homeland, the determined blood elves began to regroup and rebuild. It was during this time that the battle-hardened warrior Lana'thel stumbled upon Quel'Delar, and soon afterward the greatest opportunity to use the blade presented itself: Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider raised an army and combined forces with Illidan Stormrage, who led them north to Icecrown on a mission to destroy the Lich King. Lana'thel readily followed her prince with one thought in mind -- revenge against the Scourge -- but only tragedy awaited her.
In the icy hills of Northrend, Arthas ultimately defeated Illidan and Kael'thas, and the expedition's few survivors were scattered across the frozen wastes. One by one the Lich King sought out those who had challenged him, and Lana'thel found herself cornered. Using Quel'Delar, she struck at him with all her might... but Frostmourne's evil powers overwhelmed her. Through his blade, the Lich King chose Lana'thel to serve him in undeath as blood-queen of the San'layn, a group responsible for overseeing the Scourge's operations across Azeroth.
Blood-Queen Lana'thel eagerly carried out her new duties, but every time she looked at her blade, maddening anger would swell within her as she remembered her former life. She could not afford such distractions, and with a scream that echoed throughout Icecrown, she shattered Quel'Delar and flung the fractured pieces as far as she could.
The Crimson Hall & Invincible Lore
Sat - 23 Jan
Written by Dotted
We went with both 10mans to Icecrown Citadel. Blood-Queen Lana'thel was destroyed within a couple of tries. A fun encounter that requires abit of coordination and some vampire QQ. Two more bosses before we can face the Lich King himself. We are still searching for an active Resto druid!
Invincible was born to the mare Brightmane on the Balnir Farmstead in Tirisfal Glades, in the winter of the year Stormwind fell. Prince Arthas, then nine years old, was present when he was born, and was given the horse by the Balnir family, who bred horses used by the royal family. The horse had a white coat, different from the usual Balnir stock, which normally had gray coats. Arthas had considered naming the horse "Snowfall" or "Starlight", but in the informal tradition of Lordaeron knights and nobles naming their steeds after a quality (Uther's was "Steadfast", King Terenas' "Courageous"), he named the colt "Invincible".
Ten years later in winter, before Arthas was inducted into the Knights of the Silver Hand, Arthas' exertion in the numbing cold resulted in a crippling injury to his beloved Invincible. Too far from help and unable to heal the stricken horse, Arthas was forced to kill him in order to relieve his pain. He was buried on the grounds of the Balnir Farmstead at Arthas' request. Invincible's death was one of the events that inspired Arthas to become a paladin.
After the fall of Lordaeron years later, Arthas - now a death knight - ran directly from Lordaeron after murdering his father, to the Balnir Farmstead where Invicible was buried. With the power of Frostmourne, Arthas resurrected the horse as his undead steed. Now fully living up to his name, Invincible could become a spectre and disappear, to be resummoned by Arthas at any time.
During the Scourge's siege on the Sunwell, Anasterian Sunstrider confronted Arthas in single combat, severing Invincible's forelegs with his runeblade, Felo'melorn, to dismount him. Witnessing Invincible's injuries brought on a surge of memories and sent Arthas into a rage, during which he shattered Felo'melorn and struck down Anasterian. This time, however, Arthas was able to necromantically repair the injuries. It is likely that Invincible still serves as his master's steed, even after Arthas became the new Lich King, though Sindragosa has also been referred to as his mount.
