History
Blazon (of US Alliance Antonidas) is a guild founded on September 08, 2009. After searching for a guild with the organization, kindness, and activity they desired, ßearadin and Nimiane were left disappointed that they could not find one that was suiting. With the desire to create the perfect guild and environment to play in, the two guild founders set to work. After 3 months of work on the guild name, policies, environment, and website, ßearadin and Nimiane created a guild charter and set out to accomplish their World of Warcraft guild dream.

Although many founding members soon left after the creation of the guild, one remained, her name is Cattaleya. Today, aside from the two founding guild leaders, Cattaleya is the longest standing member of Blazon. Soon the guild grew to a healthy thirty-five members. They were running low level dungeons, power leveling their friends, and learning the joys of having a Ventrilo together.

Months into the guild's founding, during the fresh spring months and into the Noble Garden Holiday Event, Blazon held a recruitment event - a month long recruiting rally. Every member's recruit was tallied and at the end of the month, the member with the most recruits who were able to make it past their initiation period won a grand prize. This event was highly important to the growth of Blazon as it doubled the number of members within the guild.

With its new crop of members and antsy PVEers hoping to get into heroic dungeons, Blazon began its journey through the enticing game of PVE in the World of Warcraft. These dungeons were difficult at first, but the new and strange adventures together were very fun indeed. Fast forwarding to May of 2010, Blazon, a leveling and social guild, began to dip its toes into the large and frightening pool of raiding. Three 10-Man raiding teams were formed. The first was led by ßearadin and Nimiane (the guild's leaders), the second was led by a valuable server transfer, Larsedren, and lastly but not least, the third was led by two members recruited by one of Blazon's videos, Deathlana and Thorinesus. The three teams were able to progress the guild through Ulduar and ICC. By November of 2010, Blazon acquired the highly desired Kingslayer title under Deathlana and Thorinesus's lead.

The lull before the Cataclysm expansion did not bide well for Blazon's activity. While it's roster boasted the same numbers sitting comfortably around 200 members, it's activity was on average of six people on at a time. The shattering brought Blazon's activity up to 20 members on at a time for a while, but it sunk back down to the tedious wait for the Cataclysm expansion. The one thing that kept many members entertained was Blazon's Guild Bank Goal of reaching 100,000g before the release of the Cataclysm expansion. This feat was met with flying colors and is still spoken of in guild chatter today.

On the fine and long awaited day in the beginning of December, Blazon and all those who were eagerly waiting for the new world of quests and levels, Cataclysm was released. Guild levels, achievements and the lot brought the guild together more than ever to start working towards goals together. With a gearing plan to begin Heroic dungeons in January and raiding in February, Blazon formed two 10-man teams to begin taking on the raiding content. With excitement and gusto, bosses began falling, levels were acquired and Blazon was well on its way to level 25.

Blazon's officers form a group of highly valued strategists known as The Blazon Council.
