The Site

I started this site as a way to write about paladin tanking and force my views of recent WoW news upon an unwitting public.

The Player

I’m a 26 year-old Boston-area guy currently working in the technology publishing industry as a technical editor. I’ve been playing WoW off and on since launch way back in 2004, first as a Troll Hunter, and now (since 2007) as a Blood Elf Pally.

I’m also currently the Protection Paladin columnist at WoW Insider. You can read my latest columns there via this feed.

The Toon

My main is Rhidach, a Blood Elf Paladin on the Lightninghoof-US server. Currently and forever specced Protection. This blog is partly the story of his “adventures” in the game we all love.

I made up the word “rhidach” from jumbling around the Irish Gaelic word for knight, “ridire”. It is pronounced “rid-ik” (like, the “Chronicles of Riddick”), but I’ve heard people call me anything from “red-itch” to “ree-datchy” to “ry-dak”.

How to Contact Me

Send an email to rhidach [at] gmail [dot] com. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

You can also tweet me @Rhidach. I’m generally always reachable via Twitter except when sleeping.

Or, hell, roll an alt on Lightninghoof and say hello!
