True Grit

[Leafblight]

In the face of adversity, some people fold and wither. Here, at Eternal Sovereign, we have faced enormous adversity in the past month. Our guild leader has passed away, a good part of the core of our guild has left us in our darkest time, seeking greener pastures. Our remaining members and officers have tried to cling together and keep ourselves busy, all the while a dark cloud hanging over us. Our future has never been so uncertain...

...Until now. ES has picked up the pieces, and we continue our pursuit of progression with non mandatory raiding. Since our last update, We have achieved 2 guild first kills. We killed Tirranun, the first step for Dragons of Norrath. We also killed Kelekdrix in Inku'TA, another guild first for us. We also took our first attempts at an MPG raid trial, and we have been working on Rikkukin, the second DoN Dragon.

On another note, after the server merge, ES went from raiding time on Saturdays, to raiding on Tuesdays. Saturdays were great for us, because due to our structure, we have our best attendance for raids on Saturday, and we can romp through time. Well, on Tuesdays, it's a different story. We've had to do some adjusting, get our feel back, and yesterday, we cleared time in 5:36, nearly flawless. Our raid was in time til 1:35 am on a Tuesday night, sweating and grinding out loot on a weeknight, about 55 were there for the final Quarm massacre. It may not seem too great, as old as PoP is, but believe me, it felt good to see our raid machine back in business, running like a well oiled machine.

On to the future! Eternal Sovereign is now recruiting. If you are level 69, and one of these classes - Bard, Berserker, Cleric, Druid, Enchanter, Magician, Monk, Rogue, Shadowknight, Warrior, Wizard - We need you!
