A few things to say about this picture :

• first ,  as you can see top right, two weeks ago we chilled a frost wyrm named Sindragosa in the process. Not much to say about her, a Sapphiron-like fight which was for us the easiest of the three endwing bosses to learn (and the hardest to rekill, go figure)
• As a result of the Sindragosa kill, our beloved draenei paladin Domm is now gathering the fifty [Shadowfrost Shards] necessary to craft [Shadowmourne]. We wish him the best of luck, especially after the multiple bugs he had to face on the Sindragosa step of the questchain.
• Third, you may ask yourself  why I splitted the sentence in two : the reason is simple, I didn't want to cut the fluffy nose of our beloved bear tank Tumbo :-)
• And finally, this kill allows us to unlock the hard modes of the encounters in Icecrown Citadel.

About the encounter itself, it's a nice (temporary ?) conclusion to Wrath of the Lich King raiding (besides hard modes, of course). It is definitly a step up in difficulty compared to the previous bosses of ICC, mainly because it has three very different phases, the second being by far the most challenging part of the fight. The RP at the end is quite amazing, and Blizzard awarded us with a nice movie to present the new Lich King, which is...well you can go watch the movie in the middle of Dalaran ^^

As I'm still lazy and I don't want to make a new thread each time we kill a new hardmode, I'll adopt the same system as before, so here is our hardmode progress !
