The Elders of Turalyon is a World of Warcraft guild on the Turalyon-US server, Alliance faction. Founded in March 2006, our guild is based on the promise that we are all like-minded adults that are interested in experiencing all that WoW has to offer.
Many in our guild have families and other real-life commitments that need to come first. Some have mere moments to commit to their time with us, others spend a great deal learning the intricacies of the game. Yet somehow all of these different types of players find themselves happily coexisting and helping one another whenever they can. In our guild, you get to define your own role, schedule, and level of involvement based on what you want to do.
Players new to the game will find a wonderful group of folks to help them in quests, dungeons, and other aspects of the game. We have many experienced players that are always willing to answer questions about character choices, specs, items, or play style. In The Elders, you can expect caring, helpful people to take an interest in your personal progression.
Experienced players have equal access to raiding that does not require mandatory participation, an active schedule that plans several raids a week (some regularly, others off-schedule), and a unique loot distribution method that does not penalize those who cannot attend raids often. The Elders will satisfy your need to cover new ground, challenge yourself individually, and get you into places you've always wanted to go without the added stress of making raiding your second job.
In many ways, our guild defies convention. We offer benefits to casual players as well as players that spend a lot of time in the game. Both are welcome, and both have found happiness in our social confines. We are a casual guild that raids, but neither "casual" nor "raiders" truly defines us. We are unique.
If you would like to learn more about our guild, please have a look around our website. When you are ready to apply for membership, please read our rules and then apply.

Icecrown Citadel III: Saurfang Extracted
Sat, 01/09/2010 - 6:31pm — Rhus
Yup. You read it here first. On the evening of January 8th, The Elders opened wide the jaws of Icecrown Citadel and removed Deathbringer Saurfang. No longer will he impede our progress into the Upper Pinnacle of the Citadel.
It a fairly complex fight, and definitely challenging. Present for this Elder first kill: Tribian, Blase, Arturus, Charlynine, Celi, Vecchio, Kataklism(my alt), Maplelore, Kelleb, and Galestrom.
Congratulations to everyone, and Good Luck! Festergut awaits.
Icecrown Citadel II: Oh How The Mighty Have Fallen
Tue, 12/22/2009 - 5:42pm — Rhus
Rack up two more kills to Team Elders! Nevermore shall Lady Deathwhisper and her legion of minions inspire the same degree of terror for us. And, in the same evening the Battle between the Airships was decided, in favor of the Alliance.
Present for these momentous events were: Tribian, Dontee, Celi, Ariis, Kaball, Taggartfly, Arturus, Maplelore, Zotan, Galestrom
Congratulations!
Thanks again to Arthert for providing the screenshots.
Icecrown Citadel: The Adventure Begins
Thu, 12/17/2009 - 11:48am — Rhus
Icecrown Citadel. Bastion of Evil, forged from the essence of the Old God of Death. Home of the Scourge. Fortress protecting the Frozen Throne. Lair of the very Lich King himself.
And now, Playground of The Elders of Turalyon.
On the evening of December 15th, The Elders banded together to face wave after wave of brutal trash leading up to the monstrous first boss of the Citadel, the intimidating Lord Marrowgar. And then proceeded to kick his butt. Or at least it would have been if he had legs.
Congratulations to those present for this guild first kill:
Tribian, Dontee, Celi, Ariis, Kaball, Taggartfly, Arturus, Maplelore, Zotan, Galestrom
and congratulations to Galestrom, who's appearing here for his first progression kill.
Way to go, guys!
MOAR DOTS: Does Onyxia Deep Breathe more often?
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 1:37pm — Rhus
The Elders went down to Dustwallow Marsh to check into stories that the Black Dragon Onyxia had been revitalized by the last patch, and was laying waste to broad swathes of would-be adventurers. And, while it was certainly true that she was stronger than ever, they discovered that she still makes excellent bags. The Enlarged Onyxia Hide Bags, that is.
Thanks to Arthert for providing the kill screenshot.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this guild first New Ony kill:
Celi, Paprika, Arthert, Taggartfly, Reyknight, LouDFiero, Shemo, Vorissa, Maplelore, Tribian, and Blase
Of note: there was a second run immediately following this one that also successfully one-shot the old windbag.
Representing the Elders in this non-official run were Ainin, Frootloope, and Espada. Elder tanks and trees FTW!
