[A] Band of the Brave

The Band of the Brave
1st Northrend Expedition.

The Band of the Brave was in Northrend from the 27th of January to the 13th of February. During their expedition they traversed frozen planes, uncovered ancient halls and fought mighty undead beasts. The expedition was a great success in the end, the loot from Vyrkul holds and forgotten halls of Ulduar proving more then enough to fund the braves for some time to come.

Throw a shield above our heads, and detonate tons of lava-ish goop in barrels that had been rigged to the ceiling of the arch earlier. It'd burn all the undead! And as it turned out... almost us, as the undead bashed through the shield in about a minute. Gewd times.

Managing an up-to-date transmog for use in contested terretory has been made into an official rule. We don't expect you to spend hours farming the best pvp gear, but we do ask you to keep the best set you have ready and transmogged.

From this point onwards, the band of the brave will have a guild meeting on monday evenings. Last night - After the duel - it took place in the Pig's dusty basement.
