Transmog: Personal Sets #1.


PvE Set
This set does not display a helm.
Conqueror's Darkruned Shoulderplates
(Ulduar25 - dropped by Yogg Saron)
Conqueor's Darkruned Battleplate
(Ulduar25 - dropped by Hodir)
Conqueor's Darkruned Legplates
(Ulduar25 - dropped by Freya)
Bladebreaker Gauntlets
(Purchased from Griselda Hunderland in Dalaran for 487 JP)
The Plaguebringer's Girdle
(Purchased from Quartermaster Ozorg in Acherus for 51c)
Boots of the Funeral March
(Heroic ICC25 - found in the Cache of the Dreamwalker)
Phantom Blade
(From a Rare Blacksmithing Pattern that drops in Stratholme)
Note: I do not display a cloak, but Shroud of the North Wind looks fabulous with the set. Death Knights can pick it up from Quartermaster Ozorg in Acherus for 42c.


PvP Set

Antiseptic-Soaked Dressing
(Purchased from Angelique Butler in Dalaran for 25g)
Pauldrons of the Wardancer
(Serpentshrine Cavern - dropped by Hydross the Unstable)
Ecclesiastical Cuirass
(Purchased from Smith Hauthaa in the Isle of Quel'Danas for 520 JP)
Spiked Colbalt Legplates
(From a Common Blacksmithing Pattern learned at their respective trainers)
Felsteel Gloves
(From a Rare Blacksmithing Pattern that drops in Auchenai Crypts)
Stormforged Belt
(From a Common Blacksmithing Pattern learned at their respective trainers)
Emerald Sabatons
(Zone drop, I'd suggest checking the AH if unsuccessful in your farming)
Keen Obsidian Edged Blade
(Onxyia's Lair10 - dropped by Onyxia)
Note: Again, I hide my cloak due to weapon clipping, but Might of the Ocean Serpent (579 JP), found in Dalaran, somewhat matches the colour scheme of this set. Arcanist Uovril sells the cloak at the Silver Enclave for Alliance and Magister Arlan sells it at Sunreaver's Sanctuary for Horde.

I'm Alive, I Swear!

Due to my Spring Semester of classes very recently starting up, my WoW blogging has came to an almost near halt. *sadface* I am relatively active on Twitter (@Aesadonna), so feel free to follow if you are not already if you can stomach emoticon spam and occasional derpocity. ;-)

(As an aside, I finally updated my kill shots page! With Deathwing down, how could I not?!)

Destroyer's End.


Tonight, we killed Deathwing in 25 man for the first time, six days before the nerfbat made its appearance. This kill makes UR 8/8 normal mode and tied for 5th in 25 man progress on the server. :-)

I am proud to call Undying Resolution home and am looking forward to what the future brings us!

Elegy.

With a nod of dismissal, Aesadonna stepped away from Beefbus and pulled her cowl over her bright blonde hair. She needed some time to clear her head; they had grown far too close during their mutual struggle to purge Azeroth of Deathwing's corruption. It was a bond that was unnatural, one she would have to immediately sever. "For his own good", she whispered hoarsely.

Before she had the chance to mount her beloved skeletal horse, Deathblossom, to ride anywhere but near to Beef as an attempt to escape the frustratingly unknown, she felt a strong hand grip her shoulder. Stiffly, she turned, already knowing who was standing behind her.

"Aesa", Beef plead. The look of disquiet so clearly written on his handsome face was enough to give her pause. "I...I.." she stammered, recoiling from his sudden burst of emotion. "I'm so sorry", she replied, lowering her eyes to avoid his gaze. Shrugging off his touch, Aesadonna immediately summoned a Death Gate and stepped through to Acherus, her sanctuary.

"Home sweet home", mumbled Aesadonna. She threw back her cowl, shaking out her hair with a grimace that distorted her winsome features. Even before her death, she had the unfortunate habit of letting men complicate, well, everything. Beef was no exception.

This was my entry for my Effy's raider challenge; a portrait of Aesadonna. Note that I am by no means a master wordslinger, so pardon the clumsy prose! Also, it's not easy to put on a serious face when your fiancé named his mage BEEFBUS, just sayin'.

Shadowmourne...

"Shadowmourne... A great two-handed axe fit for a giant, born of sacred and corrupt powers, host of a thousand dead souls and able to be wielded only by the most stalwart armsmasters of Azeroth. Its creation seems nearly impossible; and yet, the rumors do not cease."

Shadowmourne, adj;
1. Aesadonna's biggest pipe dream.
