The Tale of the Ravens

The Third War is over but the Ravens, once a valiant mix of Horde and Alliance who worked together to defend Azeroth, have fallen back into factional fighting and now struggle against the new threats posed by the Dragonflights, Illidan Stormrage's Burning Crusade and the ever-looming wrath of Arthas Menethil, the Lich King of Northrend. On one side stand the Shattered Ravens of the Alliance, a disparate group pledged to defend the land and its people, and to gather knowledge and riches to themselves in the quest. On the other, stand the Bloodshard Ravens of the Horde, for whom honor is more important than even their own lives.

The Shattered Ravens (and the Bloodshard Ravens) are twin guilds comprising real-life friends on the European Steamwheedle Cartel server. We came into being on Day 1 of the European launch on the Argent Dawn server (and have our origins even before than during the European beta) but fled to Steamwheedle Cartel after a year, seeking freedom, justice ... and no logon queues.
