That didn't take long.

Blood Legion, a Horde guild on U.S. Illidan server, has earned the world-first 10-man Arthas kill, scoring The Fall of the Lich King and The Frozen Throne achievements as well as a Kingslayer title. And, from the looks of a screenshot they posted, the group also earned a little something extra... what looks like a giant, floating statue of Tirion Fordring. Ok.

So what does one normal-mode Lich King kill on the first night of its release mean? Well, I doubt that the fight is a walk in the park, or we would have seen more thrilled guilds announcing their success. There's still plenty of potential for other top-notch guilds to get their own realm-first 10-man kills, and then there's also the 25-man version, not to mention hard modes. And it won't be long, I'm sure, until we see more and more guilds making it to the Frost Wing.

So while many of us (including myself) aren't nearly to that point yet, let's dream a little. The WoW Armory now lists the Lich King's drool-worthy loot table for all four incarnations of the fight. And there's a little something for everyone:

• Halion, Staff of Forgotten Love
• Pugius, Fist of Defiance
• Stormfury, Black Blade of the Betrayer
• Tainted Twig of Nordrassil
• Tel'thas, Dagger of the Blood King
• Troggbane, Axe of the Frostborne King
• Valius, Gavel of the Lightbringer
• Warmace of Menethil

And those are the 10-man, normal mode versions. The weapons' stats get progressively better for 25-man and heroic versions, so there's plenty to look forward to. Personally, I'm eying that dps dagger. My rogue would prefer haste over armor penetration, but that dps output is still quite appealing.

So has anyone gotten a chance to see the Frost Wing yet? How long do you think it will take you to down the Lich King? Don't forget, if you can't get in the wing yourself, you can live vicariously through Project Lore's own Juggynaut as The Totally Rad Guild takes another shot tonight.
