The House of Iceblood
Become an Iceblood
Since 1997 the Iceblood brothers have ridden through every world we have played, from the snows of Britannia to the dark roads of Azeroth. Servers have closed. Games have died. The brothers have not. Few have carried the name, fewer have kept it, and the House is opening its doors again.
Thirty years of cold blood
A roleplay older than most guilds
The Icebloods were born in Ultima Online in 1997: dark elves with ice in their veins, sons of Mondain, played by real friends who rode with UDL. Their story has followed us from Britannia to Aerynth to Azeroth, and you can read every page of it in the Chronicle. The players behind them are real. The kinship is real. The cold, we admit, is mostly roleplay.
Two faces, one soul
Every Iceblood is an alt
Outside the House, each of us plays a main: the character we raid, siege, trade and argue on. At chosen times the mains step back, the Icebloods come in out of the cold, and we play together as family, in voice and in character. Then the brothers go quiet again until the next time the blood calls.

It is a fun way to play: a few nights of kin and story layered over the game you already love, with a name that has thirty years of history behind it.
Who may take the name
The House keeps its own counsel
By tradition, those who ride as Icebloods are full members of UDL. The House has made exceptions before, for the few who proved their blood runs cold. If you are not UDL and you want in, send the raven anyway and tell us why.

WoW Forever runs one mega server for each server type, so there is no realm name to hunt for. Pick RP-PvP and you are home.
Choose a name the cold would give you
Keep it roleplay friendly and in the spirit of the brothers: hard, cold, two syllables, with an edge on the end like Warrax, Grymax and Zelak. Cyrax Iceblood or Cyric Iceblood would sit at the family table without anyone looking twice. Joke names, numbers and borrowed heroes stay outside the gate.
A sister is welcome
The House has never had a daughter in the chronicle, and it would welcome one. Make her the same way: a female Skyborne elf, black skin, white hair, Iceblood by name.
Where you fit in the story
The scattered children of Mondain
No record says how many sons the battle-priestess bore Mondain. ... The rest scattered the day the keep fell, each down his own road. Now and then one surfaces in some far realm with the cold in his blood, and takes his place again under the Iceblood name.
Your Iceblood can be one of them, a brother or a sister finding the way home after centuries on another road, the way Zelak washed up half frozen in Britannia and waited for the cold to call. The brothers will remember you, and the chronicle may too. Give your Iceblood a voice in Stories and Journals at The Broken Sword.
