After their defeat in the first round playoff by [[Roo Island]] in 2006, many expected Tyrannia to retool their lineup in 2007. Rather than act on this, Tyrannia's managers believed they were simply unlucky, due to the fact it was hard to imagine anyone defeating Roo Island. They kept the tight knit "Forsaken Five" together, believing it would be a horrible mistake to break up one of the best Yooyuball teams in Neopia over a single playoff loss. However, their minds changed after the 2009 season, trading Evrem Guilako for Terror Mountain's Elbin Kroe. However it appears they got the bad end of this deal as they finished 10th, while [[Terror Mountain]] finished 9th. | After their defeat in the first round playoff by [[Roo Island]] in 2006, many expected Tyrannia to retool their lineup in 2007.

[[Elbin Kroe]] moved to [[Faerieland]] before [[Altador Cup VI]] started. Tyrannia hired [["Spikes" Barmie]] to be their new Right Defender. This helped Tyrannia and the team turned into a fierce competitor. They defeated [[Darigan Citadel]] before they were stopped by [[Meridell]] and ended up in 6th place | [[Elbin Kroe]] moved to [[Faerieland]] before [[Altador Cup VI]] started.

[[Altador Cup VII]] was a new format, and whether it would help Tyrannia or not was debatable. They had a mixed bag of success and failure over the first few matches, alternating from pulling off sweeps to being the ones being swept. They began to hit their stride in the second and third rounds of the tournament, before the fourth round forsaw their collapse. However, despite their lower 10th place finish, they proved they were still strong, and the spirit of the "Forsaken Five" lives on. | |||
