On April 22nd, 2009, Aetherial Circles’ officers invested in a relatively new healer by passing me their first [Fragment of Val'anyr]. On May 9th, 2010, we received our 30th fragment.

I think the other 4 screenshots disappeared with a previous PC.

Looking back, it took much longer than I could have imagined. It’s been an entire year. First the guild stopped running Ulduar and moved on to ToC after initial Yogg-Saron kills. We certainly never pushed Ulduar hard modes. We’d rekindle interest in farming fragments every few months, but it always fizzled.

In recent weeks the guild has seen quite a lot of strong raiding recruits. The officers took this surge in interest in raiding as an opportunity to push to acquire our final fragments and get the mace assembled. It worked.

I, and the guild, assembled [Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings] just in time to start serious 25-player regular Lich King attempts. The mace is certainly doing its part to help me keep the tanks up.

Legendary.

I’ll second Dusty’s description of Val’anyr as a symbol of teamwork and perseverance. This wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for officers continuing to make it a priority and raiders consistently attending.

Thanks everyone.
