Dragonflight is a few hours away, but before we close the book on Shadowlands we wanted to post our tribute to Empire’s Hall of Fame conquering of Zovaal. We look forward to achieving that goal once again in Vault of the Incarnates! Enjoy our end of expansion showcase – nicknamed “Whatever It Takes”
Eternal Kingdom Stands Together
The Eternal Kingdom community celebrates the end of Shadowlands with an all-guild photo. It was not an easy trek through the anima-starved terrain, but emerging battered and battle-scarred from the final chapters of Shadowlands we are stronger than ever and our 15 raiding and social teams stand together, looking forward to continuing our journey and growth in the Dragon Isles.
Eternal Kingdom is Ready for Dragonflight Launch!
Eternal Kingdom has been hard at work preparing for Dragonflight so that the community will stay strong and continue to grow.
Some highlights:
- We are now able to provide a true cross-faction experience to members of both factions with the EK XFaction addon developed by an EK community member to merge guild chat across EK Alliance and EK Horde.
- We took a hard look at our services and began to automate/streamline to make it easier for us to maintain important information, e.g., webhooks, stickynotes, spreadsheets, and more spreadsheets.
- We know we have a huge talent pool in our community and officers, so we’re trying to be better about asking for help because many hands make light work and it takes a village (or a kingdom) to keep the train going through the ups and downs of Blizzard.
- We studied what has shifted and changed in terms of inclusive practices to incorporate accessibility standards into our communications (e.g., alt text, flyer design) and enable opt-in pronouns.
- We have taken a closer look at our guild financials (did we mention spreadsheets?) to make sure we will be able to support all of our teams as major profession changes loom.
- We run a community survey every year to identify challenges and areas for improvement. The 2021 survey findings provided us a lot of momentum for change, and we look forward to continuing our progress after the 2022 survey goes out.
If you have more questions, you are welcome to ask us in our #application-questions channel!

End of a Tier, Moving on to Fated

Race for World Last!
The abbreviated tier caught us off-guard, but the team pushed through to the end to snag the 12th CE for Sellswords! Many thanks to the raiders and the guild for making it all possible. What a long strange trip it’s been…
The Final Boss has fallen, Olympus gets AoTC
We thank all that helped make this possible, as it came down to a guild effort and we could not be more grateful for all that our fellow guildmates did for us.
Jailbroken!
Heroic Jailer falls to Team Fireforged & Friends on Friday July 8, 2022.

Raider Expectations
About the author: Jazzy is the Ambassador of Empire and Royal Emissary for Banking. He has been raiding consistently since Dragon Soul in Cataclysm always pushing the hardest content available. When not raiding, Jazzy will likely be working on a new spreadsheet project or making yet another D&D character that most definitely will be Gnome.
General purpose of this document
My name is Jazzy. I am one of the Main Tanks for Empire. I have been raiding consistently since the end of Cataclysm and in that time I have found one of the greatest issues facing a raid team is the difference in expectations between those running the raid team and the rest of the team. This difference can be a great source of friction within a team. (more…)
