Guild:Black Omen (Shadow Council US)

Server:Shadow Council US

Founder: Muargon, Orc Shaman

Guild Leader: Nightside, Tauren Warrior

History
Founded in July 2005, Black Omen originally started as a group of friends who enjoyed PvP. It soon gained a reputation as a formidable PvP guild, and many of its members (including its founder and chief, Muargon) achieved High Warlord status in the days of the 14-rank system. Detractors of the guild claimed that Black Omen hacked in PvP. The guild took those accusations in good stride and made 'BO Hax' its motto.

In January 2006, Black Omen began shifting its focus to raid instances, and mastering raid content became the guild's primary goal over the following years. At 5 years, Black Omen stands as one of Shadow Council's oldest active raiding guilds.

Although PvP has taken a back seat to the guild's PvE efforts, its members still find time for various forms of PvP, including arena and Alliance city invasions. Black Omen does not host RP events, but there are many avid role-players within its ranks.
