Anger Management


“Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him." -Louis L'Amour



You wouldn't like us when we're angry...


Last night, Elder Tribunal, on their second foray ever, stepped into Mount Hyjal and obliterated the Lich Rage Winterchill. An excellent accomplishment, after getting him to 35% and 29% on our initial tries, our Rage kill comes with the majority of the raid's first entrance into the legendary battle. We look forward to returning soon, to see that Rage is kept in his place, and to begin our progress on Anetheron and the rest of Archimonde's henchmen.
Congratulations to Darque and Rakaabu on loot!

In other news, last Friday ET full-cleared Zul'Aman, downing Hex Lord for the second time in recent attempts, and Zul'jin for the first. We look forward to turning them into farm content and keeping the loot train rolling.

ET continues to push forward in the battle against Kael's blood elves and Vashj's naga, with VR clears in less than an hour and attempts on Solarian progressing smoothly, and staring down the barrel at Leotheras (it's ok to stare, he can't see us.)

It's been a fun and full period for ET, as we move through content and look leerily over the potential Wrath changes. If you think ET may be the place for you, check out our Recruitment Forums. We have several class openings, particularly Protection Warriors and Feral Druids.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Lurk Moar





Many men go fishing their entire lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.
- Henry David Thoreau

And ET has continued its march forward, downing the leviathan known as The Lurker Below. After a week or two of intensely close attempts, we've entrenched ourselves in Serpentshrine Cavern, and now we sat our eyes on its further guards and, soon enough, the matron Vashj. Elder Tribunal is preparing for the tough fights ahead, and while we have fun in heroics and PVP, everyone knows that come raid time we've got bigger fish to fry.

Congratulations to Elder Tribunal, Welcome to our new members, and sorry to Psymon our newest Officer.

"Myth does not mean something untrue, but a concentration of the truth." - Doris Lessing


From far corners of the world they came, scarred and bloodied. Across different worlds they travelled, sharpening their wits and honing their blades. Over countless nights they fought to survive. At once, joined together, they sought their mark, an adversary to match their abilities and give them chase.

Through fire and shadow they persevered, though the earth quaked and walls thundered at his call, and beneath them, the Pit Lord Magtheridon, Former Lord of Outland, fell.

From his death, spread honor and glory. From his blood, spread Nazgrel's favor amongst the Horde. And from his lair, treasures unearthed fell into the hands of champions, heroes and defenders who set their eyes on greater evils, and somewhere in the distance, those beasts felt a chill, for they knew of our approach.

Congratulations to all those who participated in Elder Tribunal's First Kill, a great job was done and a great time had by all.

Fuckoui, my friends. Fuck oui.

A Little Help From Our Friends


What would you do if I sang out a tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ear, and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Ooh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends. -The Beatles


On Tuesday, March 25th, Elder Tribunal returned to a place of infamy, armed with spell, sword and a generous assortment of allies from various tribes. After a few trip ups, we slew High King Maulgar, once again, and proceeded to show Gruul the Dragonkiller that Gronn are not, as they say, the true power in Outland.

We are.

Elders look forward to a return to bigger instances, the new challenges and opportunities introduced in patch 2.4, and a continued rise to glory. While our new recruits cut their teeth on older meat, the veterans look over their shoulders, preparing them for greater challenges. Check us out.

Comrades and Conquests

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. -Andrew Carnegie


Elder Tribunal wants You! Elder Tribunal has recently decided to open up recruiting to almost every class. ET is a group of fun-loving, mature raiders who seek more to help rise to new challenges. ET is a casual raiding guild who rise above the meaning of the word, currently exploring Tempest Keep and Serpentshrine Cavern. If you're a level 70 character with a strong desire to succeed and passion for the game, come and see if ET is the place for you. Find out more about Elder Tribunal's Recruitment Policy and submit your application here.

Congratulations to our Initiates, Parmenion, Kebecker, Warriorphil and Pramlock!


And then, in the strange way things happen
Their roles were reversed from that day
The hunted became the huntress
The hunter became the prey
-Conquest, by The White Stripes

Malacrass was profoundly lacking Mojo last week when Elder Tribunal threw open the doors and brought the fight to him. After several grueling attempts, the Elders got their hands on some good juju and brought down the tyrannical troll. We're all very proud of our success, but our appetite wouldn't be satiated with one new kill...


In fact, we continued our inexorable march to Zul'jin! He fought us on wing and foot and paw, but to no avail. The mighty troll leader could survive losing a limb... but not us.

And the rest, is history.
