Umbrage was formed on the day WoW went live in Europe, and through guild mergers and skillful recruitment led the way when it came to raiding on Arathor.

Our first “Server-First” kill of Azuregos set the trend for things to come, with the other world bosses and Molten Core falling to the might of our raiders.  Unfortunately Arathor has a larger Alliance population than Horde - and competition between factions was strong - meaning that while our kills were always Horde firsts we sometimes failed to achieve the elusive “Server First”.  Still, Onyxia, Blackwing Lair and AQ40 were all cleared as Horde firsts, and we were the furthest progressed guild Hordeside when TBC was released (no guilds on Arathor killed Kel’thuzad at level 60).

The Burning Crusade continued as we left off, with SSC and The Eye being cleared before the massive nerfs as Horde firsts, followed swiftly by Mount Hyjal and Black Temple.   Progress in Sunwell Plateau was stymied by the difficulty of recruiting the necessary class balance (if it wasn’t resto shaman missing for Twins it was priests absent for Felmyst) but by the time of Patch 3.NERF we had led the Horde up to Mu’ru and were within days of a proper kill on the hardest fight Blizzard have ever made.

Now, in Wrath of the Lich King, we have cleared all that is on offer, including  Sartharion plus three drakes on both 10 man and 25 man, Ulduar, ToC and ICC and are now working our way through all the hardmodes..
