House Byss Quaestor Report
The chambers of Bant Komad reflected their owner perfectly: small, durable and with purpose. The room was situated on the top floor of the fortified citadel of House Byss, on the planet of Eden. Around him, the chamber was decorated in whites, beiges and creams, all the furniture was minimalistic but comfortable, and the dimunitive Nimdan sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation.
Before the Epis, a small, spherical droid twittered and beeped. This was Bants journal, and as the time came, it spoke to him
What News, Jedi Bant?
ØExar Kun is in grave danger with lack of members.
ØAlvaak has been renamed. The former Sith house Ronin is now renamed Ziost, House Auctoritas is now House Korriban and House Dominatus is now House Byss. Alvaak has been renamed Exar Kun.
ØKhan is our new house Envoy until someone else accepts the job.
ØThe Independence Games are well under way and now in week 3, however none of Byss have yet taken part, myself included aside from running my own event. Submissions will close soon.
ØExar Kuns webiste is under construction.
ØThe DB main page has been redone and looks fantastic!
What of the House?
ØThe House is desperately short of members.
ØA new website was being built by Corde for Byss, however since his leaving, the project has stalled. I shall attempt to rectify this ASAP, but I lack very secure FTP access, so I am at a head with maintaining and uploading the site. If anyone can help with this, please contact me.
ØWe have a new egroup [Log in to view e-mail addresses] - that is for all members to use. I would like to see it utilised now.
ØSignatures, Crests and Portraits are being found for all current and future Byss members. If you wish to find your own, check http://www.renderosity.com. Use them in official communications, and send them to myself for cataloguing, if you desire.
ØThe identity of House Byss has been made out as the spies, informants and information gatherers of the Dark Brotherhood. With this in mind, we can tailor our writings, beliefs and works to fit this unique flavour.
What activities are there?
ØThe Independence Games (http://independence.starfleetacademy.net/games.html) are being run as a DB wide event. For details of the competition, see the link above. All leaders of the Brotherhood have submitted events, and it opens May 4th. The leader with the most submissions to their event wins a prize, as do the winners of the individual events. The closing date is now June 7th, and results will be announced on June 14th.
ØThe In Charatcer and Out Of Character Message boards are required to be submitted to by all members every week. The In Character board describes you characters activities for that week and the Out Of Character is for your thoughts and what you have been really doing. This will boost writing skill and Character development, and hopefully, loyalty. The link is http://www.chaoslogic.com/db/message_board/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=11.
ØSong of Praise was the House competition, to write a song of any length (max 10 pages) praising Byss. There were NO submissions to this event, which has extremely disappointed me. I shall perhaps run it again soon.
ØClan Exar Kun needs a motto. Create one and send to Khan ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]) If you win, you get a nice medal to add to your ID line. He hasnt set an expiry date as of yet.
ØKrath Monthly Topics: Story Titled Divided Loyalties, write whatever comes to mind from that topic, must be less than four pages, submit to KHP Alanna ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]). Poem Titled Virtue, write whatever comes to mind from that topic, as a freeverse (any style you like), submit to P:KHP Ciara Taernan ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]).
ØWrite a story about the split of the DB from the EH from your characters perspective, entitled Exodus and submit it to KHP Alanna.
Has anyone excelled or failed impressively?
ØBrenn is producing an interesting piece of fiction but for some reason lacks activity anywhere else, however he has now reported in.
ØNOV Sinjin has joined the House and has already proven to be a very valuable and competent member, having already passed his exams and produced the first part of a promising but untitled piece of work. I look forward to seeing it expanded further. He also submitted to the Independence Games, and has been promoted to Acolyte for his outstanding work.
What are your thoughts?
ØThe future of the Dark Brotherhood looks promising again, and my interest is keenly rekindled!
Any parting directions?
