The Raven Council

.Welcome!

We're a ridiculously long-standing guild with a lively and welcoming community, on the highly-populated, well-balanced, super-friendly RP-PvP server, Defias Brotherhood EU. The Raven Council's been around since ye olde days of 2005, and we've adapted to all those fancy new expansions and players since then, so this is one guild that almost definitely won't spontaneously combust any time soon.

Raider?

The guild sports two raid groups that are currently recruiting: Raid Groups Raven and Dodo!

Raid Group Raven, which raids on Thurs/Sun from 20:30 to 23:00 (server time).

They are usually looking for skilled players that want to balance progress raiding with a social experience, preferably with at least previous heroic experience. We aim to clear Heroic every tier and (if there's enough interest) dip our toes into Mythic a little before the tier after that.

The raid group offers a friendly, dedicated home for players who lack the time for three-night-a-week raiding.

If you are interested contact Sherelia or Fahranya for more info!

Raid Group Dodo is a more casual raid group for those that aren't necessarily that interested in pushing progress but wish to have a fun and chill raid experience. We clear normal, might have a go at heroic, but we may throw some raid achievements in there as well. Decently geared alts are welcome, or maybe you want to try a different role on your main. For more information, reach out to Lampris or Vaelyn. Dodo raids are streamed live on Twitch on Fridays, 20:00 - 23:00 CET (server time), check it out here: https://www.twitch.tv/vaelyn or poke Lampris or Vaelyn ingame for more info

Social?

We also hold big welcoming bear huggy arms out to social applicants - we rely on you guys to make the guild a generally active and exciting place to be! And you can still join us for various fun raids.

Check out our recruitment sections or poke a guild officer ingame for more info!

As the last year of 2022 rounded up with the completion of the Shadowlands expansion, the guild was eager to step into the new expansion Dragonflight! The Raven Councils' members have been enjoying the release and the new content, even Pawl managed to get his hands on a copy of the game at last

New expansions arrive with a new dawn. The guild called for a guild meeting on the 28th of January which was well attended. Several members were promoted to the rank of Dark Raven, not only to fill up for some Dark Ravens who has gone on hiatus, but mostly because of their contributions to the guilds well spirited community. Congratulations!

Last but not least, the guild also promoted three members to the rank of Councillors.

Krekandus who has been a steady member for several years and held many well appreciated social events such as his appreciated quiz-nights.

Manatea (Chromaticus in the picture) whos been a member for around 10 years and always been a solid rock of the community.

Frostie (Fritsle in the picture) who since he joined has contributed to the guilds raid teams and dungeon delvers with great confidence and leadership.

Congratulations to all three!

The Raven Council will continue to strive together for new enjoyable experiences within Azeroth with the new year coming along.

The guild has been going strong through the last year. New recruits have added to the ranks and melded in great with the older crowd. The activity in dungeons is strong on a weekly basis where players have been helping each other out in all ranges of difficulties.

The guild gathered for the 16th anniversary of The Raven Council in october last year.

A social event was hosted this year where members of the guild got to vote on their favorite guild members in different categories, and several awards was handed out. Thanks to Cellyca and Kreka for hosting!

The raid group has been periodically active to make sure the tradition of getting Ahead of the Curve kept going. Here is a video of the Sylvanas kill in Sanctum of Domination HC:

And a photo of the raiders capturing the kill of the end-boss of the expansion, The Jailer in Sepulcher of the First Ones HC:

The Raven Councils raid group got their first progression kill after a longer break on the 16th of May 2021.

Lady Inerva Darkvein in Mythic difficulty is no more!

Raid Group Raven is continuing it's march through mythic Castle Nathria. Adding the Hungering Destroyer to it's list of killed bosses!

The sight is now squarely on Lady Inerva! Ca-caw!

After a slow period around Christmas and New Year's raiding picked up again in January and really took off in late February. Last night we added a new boss to our kill list:

Mythic Huntsman Altimor!

We expected a tougher fight than Shriekwing but in classic RG Raven style stumbled into the kill after a handful of tries. Surprising ourselves with a sudden rush of seeming competence! Hooray!

Two weeks ago we did also get a double whammy with:

Mythic Shriekwing

AND

Heroic Sire Denathrius!

Dennis was particularly grueling... but down he went and the feat has been repeated each week since! Go Ravens!

Raider open!

Raid Group Raven is looking for

1) Holy/Disc Priest

2) MW Monk

3) Havoc Demon Hunter

4) Holy Paladin/Resto Druid

5) Unholy DK

6) DPS in general

(But we are always interested in more friendly players of all classes and specs.)
