Guild:Ritual (Dark Iron US)

Ritual is an Alliance PvP guild on the Dark Iron realm. We are a small, friendly group and believe that any help we give each other is for the greater good of the guild. Ritual also enjoys world PvP, arena, and battlegrounds when we are not raiding.

Ritual was formed on Cho'gall during the classic version of World of Warcraft. There we had a successful run on end-game raids through The Burning Crusade. Many core members have transfered realms to Dark Iron.

Ritual strives for end game content progression. We are most interested in recruiting people with experience. To fill out an application go to http://www.ritualdi.com/. For more information you can contact any officer in game.
