Netherhood Welcome Wagon – Rhidach of Righteous Defence

tnb-welcome1Welcome to Rhidach of Righteous Defence!

Rhidach’s blog is pretty new; he just started in December and his blog’s just started picking up speed. He’s a tanking paladin (often lovingly called “tankadins”), and, though his banner is a little misleading, he plays a Blood Elf on the Lightninghoof (US) server. His layout makes it look like his posts were pulled straight from the tankadin manual; appropriate considering his goals for the blog include making it a “repository of tankadin knowledge.”

His posts follow a fun mix of old school and new school raiding, with some mention of Onyxia with the more prevalent Naxxramas, Sartharion and Malygos information. He goes in-depth into patch notes and covers aspects of paladin theorycrafting with the hope of making it accessible to a larger audience (besides those silly number crunchers). He even teaches manners, something very helpful for those legions of uncouth shield bashers and face-tankers.

Rhidach is a 24-year-old Bostonian who’s been playing WoW for four years. He works as an editor in the publishing industry. He’s a prot-pally ‘til the day he dies (est. 2007), though his very first character was a (gasp!) troll hunter. I, personally, wish he was a cute dwarf, but only so he could tank my instances!

Welcome to the blogosphere, Rhidach!

Netherhood Welcome Wagon – Liore of Herding Cats

TNB_Welcome Welcome to Liore of Herding Cats to the Blogging Netherhood!

Now, Liore’s actually been around since December, but that’s still pretty young, and she’s got a great blog going. It’s a priest blog, mainly, but not just any kind of priest! If you couldn’t tell by the title, Liore’s actually a raid leader, and she often talks a lot about that. Her “casualcore” guild has done a lot in the expansion, and her insights into raiding encounters, group interactions and guild planning are often from a unique, yet still entirely relevant perspective. She has healing posts for DPS, for goodness sake.

There’s not a lot of personal information on the site itself, so I was nosey and contacted her to see if she would give me any. Luckily, I didn’t even have to ask specifically! She informed me she’s a Technical Writer living in British Columbia and has been running her guild, Machiavellis Cat for over three and a half years! Her WoW career has endured a little longer than that, starting at four years ago. She’s also been a blogger for a long time; she’s been writing since 1999.

Liore really knows her stuff, too. She leveled Holy from her first level 10, so she has four years of experience behind what she says about priests. She only recently started experimenting with shadow form, however, and treats it like it has the possibility for an addiction. She’s witty, engaging to read and has an overall friendly tone to her blog, but she still means business.

Welcome to the blogosphere, Liore!

Every Friday, Bellwether from 4 Haelz is bringing you the Welcome Wagon, introducing new bloggers and great reads. If you know of a new blog to the scene or wish to get your name out there, please send an e-mail to 4haelz AT gmail DOT com with the subject line “Welcome Wagon.” She’ll do her best to highlight as many as possible!

Welcome Wagon is Returning!

treeeeecheer Yes, that’s right. The Blog Welcome Wagon has trundled back down the road and is fast approaching it’s new destination. Bellwether from 4Haelz is taking it over and would like us to ask you to e-mail her with information about new blogs!

If you have a new blog or know of a great new blog, send her an e-mail to 4haelz {at} gmail.com and she will be knocking on the door in no time flat!

We are very grateful to Bell for taking over this grueling activity and are really looking forward to the awesome blogs she finds. I’m not sure what day will be her regular day yet. It is possible it will still be Friday, but we’ll let you know as soon as we know.
