Hey everyone!
We're going to be doing Blackwing Lair and Naxxramas!
We're starting with BWL next Saturday, July 14, at 4pm Orgrimmar time. There is a small attunement process listed here.
BWL is at the summit of Blackrock Mountain, and is the home of the Black Dragonflight. The Black Dragonflight are the spawn of the corrupted black dragon Aspect Neltharion the Earth-Warder. In antiquity, Neltharion went mad and sought to dominate all other dragons through use of an artifact called the Demon Soul, and took for himself the name Deathwing. He was defeated by the combined might of the other four Dragonflights. The Demon Soul was not seen again until it was claimed by Zuluhed of the Dragonmaw Clan in the Second War. It was used to subvert the Red Aspect Alexstrasza into breeding an army of red dragon slaves for the Horde at Grim Batol. Eventually Deathwing returned to claim his prize, but was driven off by heroes of the Alliance. It is unclear as to whether or not the Demon Soul still exists.
The loot in Blackwing Lair will be comparable to what your characters were wearing around 65-68, though you may find an upgrade or two.
This is all to gear up for raiding Naxxramas. Naxxramas' attunement process can be expensive, which is why we'll be tiding ourselves over with the Lair. Naxxramas attunement is described here.
Naxxramas is the necropolis-fortress of Kel'thuzad, the founder of the Cult of the Damned and one of the Lich King's most powerful lieutenants. Our sin'dorei friends have plenty of reason to want to see harm come to Kel'thuzad: the Sunwell was drained of its powers for no other reason than simply to reanimate the slain Necromancer's remains into Kel'thuzad the lich. Similarly, it was through Kel'thuzad's manipulation that Lordaeron fell and our undead friends were originally murdered and then enslaved.
Much of the loot in Naxxramas will be comparable with what your characters wear at pre-Karazhan level 70. Naxxramas was designed to be the next step in raid progression before Karazhan (admittedly this was before Karazhan was designed). Interestingly enough, there's a really really awesome staff here that teleports you right to Karazhan.
See you all Saturday!
