Please see the above post! If you intend on joining us for the final episodes/events, please have completed Icecrown!
Bump, this is today!
Tonight at 5PM WrA, we will be journeying across Dragonblight! Invites will start going out around 4:30PM-4:45PM WrA. Please message Beloran-WyrmrestAccord (Horde) or Selowin-WyrmrestAccord (Alliance), or search for YotS: Dragonblight in the group finder for an invite!
Also! As a reminder, please have completed all Icecrown story quests by November 20th on any characters you wish to bring to Year of the Scourge.
Our next event happens this Saturday, November 13th at 5pm at the Argent Stand in Zul’drak.
This Scourge aggression…
will not Argent stand, man.
Our midpoint battle is this weekend! Real life finally takes precedent over YotS, so I won’t be there, but I hope you guys have fun!
In the mean time, these two documents were recovered from a Scourge Necropolis that seemed to be under construction…

A Letter from Obrahiim the Traveler
Plain Text
Our Most Illustrious Lady,
It is my distinct pleasure to inform you that we have received your guidance regarding transmuting the Divination Scryer for our purposes. We cannot expression our appreciation in words, but know the swell in our souls is beyond compare to know we are so fortunate as to play such a critical role in expediating your glorious ascension. Warlord Zek’thal almost certainly reciprocates each of these sentiments more than any other. He has updated his strategy to accommodate the inadequate Drakkari population and the new priority. Though such matters are far beyond my realm of expertise, there is no doubt that he shall succeed in his endeavors thanks to your generous reallocation of resources.
Humbly yours,
Obrahiim the Traveler
Translated from the Language of Death by
Sir Beloran Autumnwing, Knight-Templar of the Argent Crusade
Also, another reminder to please have completed Icecrown: The Final Goal before November 20th! My memory said 2-3 hours, but it can take much, much longer than that. Currently don’t know how long, but one can assume up to 8 hours. Please get a head start on this!
Bump!
Event this Saturday (this is the midpoint of Chapter 4!)
Late post this week! Been as busy as can be! Still, we’re on deck for Saturday!

I believe it’s time for our…
Icecrowning achievement!
Sorry about the switcheroo here! Got some last minute IRL schedule shifting and had to bump this up to Friday instead of our normal Saturday! Still, like Ax said, we’ll be doing a small pre-event and then starting our full event at 6PM!
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Please have completed the Icecrown quests UP TO CAPTURING CRUSADER’S PINNACLE prior to the event! The remaining Icecrown quests will be required before the end of the campaign (as soon as possible is preferred, to free up people for missions!), but you only need to have unlocked CRUSADER’S PINNACLE before Friday the 19th!

Icecrown - Reclaiming the Argent Vanguard (Chapter 4, Week 6)
Having captured the souls of the dead from the battle at the Argent Stand, the Scourge are poised to accelerate their plans. The heroes were barely capable of stopping the Scourge before, but now they had the same distance to travel in half the time.
The Scourge pressed the attack on the Argent Stand in Zul’drak. As the heroes were ready to leave, the arcane barriers protecting the stand collapsed. They flew off through Zul’drak, fighting through gargoyles and evading blasts from a new necropolis. They managed to escape Zul’drak, only to find Sunreaver Commander in Crystalsong burnt to the ground, the golden crest of Silvermoon replaced with the crowned skull of the new Scourge. A second necropolis appeared on the horizon, but they were fortunate to avoid its gaze.
When they landed on the southeastern banks of Icecrown, they could see the Vanguard at the top of a nearby hill. However, Argent banners had been torn down, and the Crowned Skull hung in their place.
Heroes fought their way up the hill, pushing through incoming waves of ghouls, while barrels of Blight rolled from the hill overhead, and a ranger shot at them from a nearby tower. However, they crested the hill, finding the Vanguard in ruins. The Scourge had culled every Crusader from the fort. The ground underneath stung at the living, tainted by dark rituals powered by draining and corrupting blood from impaled knights. Meanwhile, cultists gathered underneath the ramparts, sacrificially mutilating and eviscerating captive Argents to earn the blessing of Lady Damnedfate, who savored the display from above.
Some of the heroes stormed the ritual sites, others pushed through the ghouls for Damnedfate herself! The cultists manning each ritual were quickly dispatched. The heroes broke down the sites and blessed the ground to alleviate its tainting affects on their bodies. Two knights bearing Ebon Tabards met the heroes at the penultimate platform. The cultists scattered with their Argent prisoners, but it was too late. Already, a large pile of the corpses lay in the middle of the courtyard.
The heroes dispatched the knights and engaged Damnedfate. She managed to incapacitate three of them before welcoming the group to Icecrown and vanishing. They had secured the Vanguard, but it was in ruins. The ground was desecrated, the guards were slaughtered and the walls were crumbling. There was a lot of work ahead of them if they were to survive Icecrown long enough to reach the Citadel.
Also!
The finale will be the weekend of December 10th/11th! We aren’t sure which date, yet, but December 11th is more likely!
