| Welcome |
Bloodforged is an Alliance-side World of Warcraft guild on the Thorium Brotherhood realm. We are a diverse, stable, and tight-knit community of adults who also enjoy end-game raiding content. Our members are a coalition of players from all walks of life and all stages of the game. We are young and old, starting or ending our careers. But we are all a team, and we take pride on our teamwork, and enjoy finding ways to improve it. We enjoy accomplishing the impossible, and enjoy the sense of community that comes from overcoming shared difficulties. We are forged in the blood of our enemies, the blood from defeats, and the blood of our kinship. We are Bloodforged.
We are currently working on Icecrown Citadel.
Recruitment is currently open for the following classes: DPS Death Knight, Rogue, and Holy Paladin. Retribution Paladins, Balance Druids, Warlocks, Shadow Priests, and Shamans of any spec will also be considered. Feel free to apply even if you aren't one of the classes mentioned, we may decide you are still a good fit.

| We've Gone and Made a Mess... Sorry, High Overlord Saurfang |
In the picture below you can see Highlord Saurfang carrying the corpse of his son. His son was twisted into Deathbringer Saurfang, the Lich King's most powerful Death Knight. However, he was not more powerful than Bloodforged. (We wanted High Overlord Saurfang in the screenshot and I barely caught it in time waiting for people to get ready, sorry if it's not great.)
Big Picture
We started the night by killing Malygos-25 (and nearly nabbing the speedkill achievement) and then we worked on Saurfang in Icecrown Citadel (25). We got a different achievement tonight: I've Gone and Mad a Mess, on 25-man, which I'd say is impressive! Deathbringer just melted on our kill attempt, we had some people playing specs they weren't used to (and as such, some players were doing a lot less DPS than usual) but we managed to defeat Deathbringer Saurfang easily tonight. But then we wiped to Stinky. But we did manage to eventually defeat both Stinky and Precious, Rotface and Festergut's pets. We attempted Festergut a few times to test the mechanics, but we will kill him later.
Progression continues!

| Icecrown Citadel (25) Progression Continues! |
Title will have to do for now; add a comment if you can think of something punny about Deathwhisper and Lootship. We've had some rough turnouts due to the hoilidays and losing some fantastic players due to real life and other issues, but 25-man Icecrown progression continues! We beat Marrowgar the very week Icecrown opened. We also defeated him last week, even if we barely fielded the raid and had to ask for friends -- we did defeat him. We have cleared everything up to and including Saurfang in Icecrown Citadel 10-man. Tonight, with 25 Bloodforged members, we defeated Deathwhisper and the Gunship Battle! Unfortunately, I just have a terrible screenshot of Deathwhisper. Her corpse is that little light-blue ball. Hopefully we'll have a Saurfang screenshot soon.
We had some issues with Marrowgar mainly due to our healing turnouts as of late, but we managed to defeat him. He's farm status. We defeated Deathwhisper on the second try (she was nerfed, but we really didnt try her too much before the nerf) and we easily defeated the Gunship encounter on our first try.
Congratulations! (Loot for last Marrowgar-25 kill as well)

| Glory of the Ulduar Raider (10) Achieved |
Woah.
(And sorry that the text on the achievements are a little smudged, too lazy to fix that now!)
[Reins of the Rusted Proto-Drake]: Aenora*, Alamexia, Cauchy, Galise, Gizmodo, Guran*, Kressara*, Norrel, Pitchifus, Ryuonatomay
*Technically, Aenora still needs Freya+3. Guran still needs Firefighter. Kressara needs Stokin' the Furnace, Iron Dwarf Medium Rare, and Crazy Cat Lady. This is why in the screenshot they may be absent or on other mounts. Edit: Grats Kress and Aenora on their drakes!
Last week, we kited fire around and destroyed Mimiron's most dangerous creation while his chambers were crumbling all around us. This week, we defeated Yogg-Saron with only Thorim assisting us. The first attempt we had way too much DPS on a Guardian of Yogg-Saron which blew up and took Norrel with him. After that I ended up touching a cloud, first time ever. It had something to do with computer lag or something but Guran testified and said I was 10 feet away from the cloud too. I dunno. I suck.
We thought the night had started out, well, not so good. Imagine our surprise when we defeated him on the second try. Rather flawlessly, we had some silliness in Phase 3 but we were victorious. Those Immortal Guardians don't like me. We actually got to Phase 3 within 2 brain phases (which is hoped for but usually not attained.) I called out over vent something like, "Um, we're going to go into Phase 3 probably. Yeah, okay, Phase 3." Pitchifus' reply was something like, "Huh, really?" Yeah, I can't believe it either. The illusion rooms didn't even go that great, we just really poured that DPS on. Yogg didn't know what hit him.
We then worked on Algalon some. We'll defeat that soon. If it is anything like Firefighter and Yogg+1, we'll probably get him on the next night of attempts!
These are just the first Rusted Proto-Drakes for Bloodforged. Congratulations. (Just in time for Icecrown.)

| Yogg-Sarowned. To Conquer Death Itself... (Happy Birthday Bloodforged!) |
Normal mode Ulduar-25 clear! Yogg-Saron was defeated in Ulduar-25! Congratulations! Also! Firefighter-10 was defeated! Holy crap!
Winamp before we started the fight randomly selected the metal song Arch Enemy - The Last Enemy to play. This song is from the "Rise of the Tyrant" album. (Tyrant?) The song's lyrics in the chorus are:
Chaos Emerges
Surrender, I will not.
The Last Enemy is Falling
Here I stand, to Conquer Death Itself
The Last Enemy is Falling
Here I stand, to Conquer Death Itself
Yogg-Saron is the Old God of Death, there's quite a bit of chaos in the fight, and he of course is the Last Enemy of Ulduar. (Not counting Hard modes and Algalon.) That's pretty crazy, right? Even crazier that we actually defeated him. On the "last attempt." We like do do that. Everyone played well. We had reached phase 3 several times, it was a matter of perfecting phase 2 and getting the transition right. (Also, making sure that our tanks don't get crit. That was weird.) In the end, Bloodforged stood over the corpse of an Old God. We fully cleared ToCr-25 afterwards!
Happy Birthday, Bloodforged. We've been at this 4 years. I think downing Yogg is a pretty good birthday present!
Congratulations! (Special thanks to Pitchifus for helping coordinate the main raid group!) We'll tackle some Ulduar-25 hard modes now!
Yogg Loot:
[Blood of the Old God] Kilim
[Soulscribe] Bertibby
[Mantle of the Wayward Vanquisher] Galise, Ryuonatomay

| You Have Entered... The Twilight Zone |
Beyond this world, strange things are known.
Any Rush fans? Well, actually, nothing too strange coming up. Yogg-Saron is gonna die in Ulduar-25.
Thanks so much for spending the night on this encounter and finally defeating it. As promised, it will not be tackled too much more because of the other content we can do, but it is a good feeling to finally get this over with. Truth is, we probably could have done it before, but we were always busy with something else. This was our second real attempt on Sarth-3D. We were one of the first guilds on the server to do Sarth-2D. (Well technically, #9, but all the kills were relatively close together.) Although now it is not as impressive, the Sarth-3D kill was still well earned and it still pretty impressive for this server, and a great thing for the guild to accomplish. Even with better gear, the fight can easily take a turn for the worst. I appreciate everyone persevering through the wipes and finally bringing the kill home. The kill attempt was absolutely outstanding, and everyone deserves the drake that I won. (And I feel quite humbled with all the support for me winning after my roll...) Regardless, better late than never, and this was amazing to finally get done. More of these runs will be scheduled, especially when we're all in Tier 10 gear!
Thanks.

Ulduar-10 Hard Modes will be postponed slightly to focus on actual progression. We'll pick these back up later, especially if the drakes are announced to be removed. Is this fine?
That's fine. We really need to work on it as a priority once their removal is announced, however. Doing new content will give us better gear to make getting drakes easier.

That's fine. Doesn't really matter, though, if there is a huge focus when the removal date is announced.
11% [3 Votes]
Although I'd like a drake (or already have one), we should focus on the new stuff, period.
21% [6 Votes]
I don't care.
18% [5 Votes]
I disagree, more Ulduar drake runs should be scheduled instead of the new content.
