Brazie's Black Book of Secrets: The Removed ICC Joke
Inside Icecrown Citadel, after Deathbringer Saurfang falls, a gnome vendor called Brazie Getz sets up shop for Alliance raids. For years his list held a joke few players ever noticed: Brazie's Black Book of Secrets, 22,000 gold for a pack of five terrible dating guides. It is gone now, and this page is its history.

What it was
The book was a container, not a toy. Opened, it gave five readable "guides": to draenei, dwarves in Dun Morogh, night elves, humans and gnomes, each a pile of awkward pick-up advice. Players only noticed it on his list around early 2012, two years after the raid opened.
Brazie Getz himself is a joke too: his name plays on the "Leo Getz" catchphrase from the Lethal Weapon films and nods to Blizzard designer Alexander Brazie. He is not Brazie the Botanist, the Plants vs. Zombies homage in Hillsbrad Foothills who gives the Singing Sunflower pet.
Why it's gone
Patch 9.1.0 took the book off his list without a word in the patch notes. Players link it to the clean-up of suggestive content that Blizzard did in 2021, but that's an inference, not an official reason. Brazie Getz is still on Deathbringer's Rise and still sells reagents and supplies.
