Guild:Sang Grail (Dalaran US)

Sang Grail is a social raiding guild on the US based Dalaran server. The guild has approximately 300 members as of February 23rd, 2010 and is unique because of the fact that they are highly successful raiders yet still maintain a great social, family-like feel to the guild as a whole.

History
Sang Grail was created on October 1st, 2006. It started off as a more casual, social-based guild but eventually began raiding as more members hit the level cap and became interested in End-Game content. Sang Grail has experienced success in both the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade and in the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansions.

In addition, Sang Grail was, until recently, part of an alliance of guilds on the Dalaran server that combined their forces in the interest of 25-man raid progression. The guilds included in the alliance were Dolus Nomen Hic, Guardians of the Legacy, Access Denied, and Sang Grail. Recently, Sang Grail and Guardians of the Legacy decided to move on from the alliance and begin running their own joint 25-man raids.

Raiding
As stated before, Sang Grail has experienced great success in their raiding endeavors. Whether it was through their joint 25-man raids or their own 10 man raids, Sang Grail has downed many of the bosses in the end-game raids and many of it's members have become experienced raiders. Sang Grail's raid progress includes full clears of Naxxramas, Obsidian Sanctum, Eye of Eternity, Vault of Archavon and Onyxia's Lair. Partial clears include Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, and Icecrown Citadel.

While there is a designated leader for each Sang Grail run, the guild holds true to it's family-like values in the fact that all raid leaders listen closely to the suggestions of fellow members, and implement them if they seem at all viable. This unique type of communication has lead to the creation of many guild-specific strategies that have allowed Sang Grail to thrive in raids. Sang Grail is currently working on Icecrown Citadel in their 10-man runs and both Trial of the Crusader and Icecrown Citadel in their 25-man runs. They are working closely with Guardians of the Legacy in their 25-man runs.

Guild Philosophy
While Sang Grail takes their raid progression seriously, they are also very highly focused on the social aspect of the game. Many members take pleasure in helping out less experienced or lower level players overcome obstacles they find challenging. Furthermore, the guild Ventrilo system always has at least a couple members simply casually talking and fostering the social feel to the guild. For this reason, Sang grail falls under the unique classification of a "Social Raiding Guild".
