September 17, 2026 — a community item database for Project Ascension's dead Bronzebeard realm surfaced at bronzebeard.bendo.lol: 12,874 items including the realm's custom Worldforged and Bloodforged gear, 83 Mystic Scrolls, and a phase-3 snapshot (Blackwing Lair and Zul'Gurub open, Ahn'Qiraj next). The footer is explicit: "Unofficial community mirror · Not affiliated with Project Ascension or Blizzard Entertainment."
What it is
A browsable item DB (12,874 total items, 1,633 Worldforged, 1,642 Bloodforged-eligible, 83 Mystic Scrolls) drawn from Ascension's Bronzebeard (Warcraft Reborn) realm — the OG-nine-classes rebuild with Mystic Enchantments that shut down with the rest of the network on September 4. Custom items carry a "Custom" tag and the mirror shows the realm's phase state: "Classic · Phase 3 — Blackwing Lair & Zul'Gurub open · Next: Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, Temple of Ahn'Qiraj."
Where it fits
The preservation wave keeps growing. The Ascension Archive (our September 15 piece) collects WDB and addon data from former players with a browsable explorer at ascension-db.ascension-archive.workers.dev — still the primary data source. Bronzebeard DB is different in kind: it is a curated mirror of realm items — Worldforged/Bloodforged rolls, Mystic Scrolls, phase progression — the kind of snapshot that dies with the realm otherwise.
Honest flags
- Unofficial and self-reported. Single-preserver community work on a personal domain; item counts, phase state and "Custom" labels are the mirror's own.
- Snapshot, not live. The realm is dead; the DB preserves, it does not update.
- Worth checking before trusting any single entry: cross-reference against the Ascension Archive's recovered datasets and the CoA AzerothCore port where items matter.
