Our raiders continued the exploration of Ulduar, driving deeper into the underground realm of ice and stone. Our 25-man LO charter carried on, defeating six more of Ulduar's ancient protectors ... with only four difficult battles remaining. We also established a rejuvenated 10-man LO charter in May, which stormed through ten bosses on its first raiding day. Much lies ahead for TSG, both within Ulduar and out in the lands of Northrend. Whether the fight is brought to the scourge, the horde or ancient gods ... you will find us there.

Beneath ancient Ulduar, the Old God of death lies, whispering.... Tread carefully, or its prison will become your tomb.

With April came the opening of the Ulduar raid instance, as well as several enhancements and general game content. Our raiding charter jumped into Ulduar, anxious to see the new bosses, encounters and challenges held within. Ulduar certainly tested our abilities and strategies, and we managed to defeat four of its protectors in addition to victories over Emalon, found within a new wing of the Vault of Archavon. We'll continue to push forward in Ulduar, until we reach its depths and face the ancient horrors found in the deep dark of the world.

Beyond Ulduar's gates lies no city, no treasure vault, no final answer to the Titan's mysteries. All that awaits those who dare set foot in Ulduar is a horror even the Titans could not, would not destroy, an evil they merely... contained.

Throughout March, our raid groups continued to cycle through Obsidian Sanctum, the Vault of Archavon, Naxxramus and the Eye of Eternity. The majority of our active guild members have been able to participate in raiding content here in WotLK, and we'll continue to develop those avenues as we move forward.

Our raiders had some fun as we tested ourselves with various levels of achievements, and eventually defeated Sartharion with multiple drakes. New content is on the way, and we're all looking forward to the new challenges that lie ahead. Ulduar should certainly test our mettle.

Through January and February, TSG's LO Charter had great success with the opening content of WotLK. Our raiders have seen and defeated all 25-man content that we have attempted as a LO charter. Our only limitation has been in the amount of time we're able to dedicate to raids each week, but with improvements in our speed and increasing comfort with the new raiding tools, database and point systems within LO, we will continue to streamline our efforts so that we can keep tackling more content within the couple of days we're currently scheduling each week. Our 10-man raids have defeated all existing content and we've branched out into multiple groups, allowing more TSGers the opportunity to experience content and kill lots of nasty dungeon creeps.

Ulduar looms on the horizon, and we're working on our raiding capabilities in preparation for this new and more challenging content. Keep an eye on upcoming raids and events as we continue to improve our options to experience the environments and dungeons that lie ahead.

The past two months have brought us the joys (and headaches) of the holiday season, as well as several advancements for TSGers. Many of us have seen and defeated the heroic dungeons and moved on to working in both regular and heroic raids. For 10-man raids, we've cleared Naxxramus, the Vault and the Obsidian Sanctum and are looking anxiously upon Malygos in the Eye of Eternity.

Here in January, we are also ushering in a new venture for TSG as we have established our own charter under the Leftovers Community Raiding organization. We're looking forward to stepping into 25-man raiding content as a guild, with the support of our friends and the LO community. Keep an eye out for more TSG 25-man raids in the near future.

With the establishment of our LO Charter, we have reached the end of a long and rewarding journey with Silver Hand Raiders. To all of our friends from SHR, we thank you for the good times, great memories and unforgettable achievements. We wish everyone the best, but hope to see you around the old campfire.
