The Long Season

By Ludven. Version 2, weekly pace, 8 stages, 24 steps.

One season of Midnight at the pace of Wrath of the Lich King: one stage a week, three steps each, a little of everything. Heroic dungeons and raid nights, a few rated games, a renown mount at the end. It asks for a few evenings a week, never every day. Miss a week and the road waits for you.
