Novus Initium

Welcome

WoW Logo

Welcome to the website of Novus Initium - a World of Warcraft guild on Turalyon (EU) server.

Novus Initium was created a long, long time ago by Zadoc, Moomintroll and a handful of in game friends. The guild was created as a splinter group of The Burning Horde during a time of guild unrest. It meant a new beginning in how many of us saw the game, and as such the guild name was derived (Novus - New, Initium - Beginnings)

Its goal was to be a small, well-organised guild where its members treated each other as friends, and the time spent online was about working together, helping each other to learn and progress as a group. Never putting loot hording above the needs of others.

Not long after the original guild was formed, it incorporated a couple of smaller guilds. Most noteably The Minions of Essence. These players help form a stable core to the guild, which has been prevelant to the current day.

Novus Initium has been through a number of rebuilding exercises, and has always attempted to stay true to the ethos we established all those years ago.

During the last rebuilding work, we inherited a number of members from guilds such as Shadow Elites, these people again accepted the ethos & culture on Novus Initium, and have helped build the guild to the size & capability that is has today.

The guild has been managed by Zadoc from inception till very recently, where Zadoc has since felt it time his apprentice ! become the master and hence Wyse has now taken on the mantle of GM and is to be ably assisted by Taurella.

The Siege of Ulduar.

It’s been a few months now since we got the call from Brann, if we would accompany him to the just discovered city of the Titans: Ulduar!
We came prepared with an entire legion of our strongest heroes, backed up by our smartest magic users. And taken care of by our best healers.

Boy, did we underestimate that place !
it was heavily defended by iron dwarves, golems and strange powerfull towers.
And this was only the beginning !

So we mounted up in our new choppers, siege engines and demolishers, and we set out to breach the outer perimeter.
Tower after tower fell, millions of iron dwarves and there constructs were obliterated.
Finally we reached the doorway in to ulduar, when the last defence was shown in the form of a formidable tank called Flame Leviathan !
But this wasn’t enough to stop our advance inward. We burned through it’s shell and gave it a massive overload.

And then we were forced to leave the safety of our vehicles and needed to continue on foot !

We had the choice of sneaking into the heart of Ulduar, or being heroes and taking out the remaining guards !
Ofcourse being the heroes we are, we set out on the remaining guards. There was this armoured drake called Razorscale and Ignis the furnacemaster, a Fire giant.
After a few try’s we got them down on their knees begging for mercy and we were showered with shiny loot.

But to advance deeper into Ulduar we had to best yet another creation of Mimiron,
XT-0002 the Deconstructor, a menacing robot with a childish demeanor who wanted to make toys out of all of us.
After we sended this childish wining robot back to its maker, we finally set foot in the Antechamber.

The inside of this place is even more dangerous than anything we’ve seen before....

And it was about to get worse, much worse !

In order to get even deeper in Ulduar we had to defeat the Iron Council, a nasty bunch of iron dwarves who’s power grew by every member that died.
But still we owned that silly trio with real NI style !
After the council we faced the giant Kologarn, compared to him we were mere ants. He tried his best to squash us, and burn us alive with his horrible eye beems.
but to no avail, we were victorious once more!

One of our latest victories we got from killing Auriaya, the guardian of the Shattered Walkway, backed by her unrelentless pack of cats.
It was a difficult trial, but the cats turned out to be little kittens and the huntres was a perfect partner for our tanks to dance with.

Now we find us facing Hodir and his cold helpers. We already made small ice creams of his silly wyrms and he went down himself in the end.
This was one huge desert for Novus Initium !

Finally we stand before the Watchers, the guardians of the Old god of Death: Yogg-Saron
The once proud defenders of the city were corrupted by the very thing they swore to keep locked away for ever.
Our fights ahead are not easy. In order to take back the city of the Titans, we will need even more manpower and other resources.

But we will prevail, because we are Novus Initium!
