Alanna's study was strewn with pieces of paper that had collected during her short absence. Pushing them all aside, she cleared a small area of her desk, and settled down to write her weekly report.

Krath High Priestess's Weekly Report

1. Erryc has unfortunately had to step down as my Magistrate due to time constraints, but bravely into his place has stepped DJK Vithril!
   

Vithril has already been working with us on krath.org, so he was an obvious choice. He's battling with PHP, and appears to be winning more often than not, so hopefully there'll be some progress with that soon.

I'd also like to thank PRT Dranik and DJM Arania who are valiantly fighting with the website too.

1. Nov KMT winners:
   

"Turning Points" was a very hard fought competition, with some truely excellent writing. So congratulations go to:

1st: DA Kaiann Yetaru Entar/HM/ Dark Council

2nd: DJM Lúrien Amadiciel/TYR/Qel Droma of Arcona

3rd: KPN Jonaleth Isradia (Krath)/QUA/Byss of Exar Kun

I feel I need to add that Kai's entry was 59 pages long!!!! It was also of excellent quality as were the other entries we received. Thank you to everyone for the work that obviously went into the stories.

Unfortunately the "Prophecy" KMT didn't do so well with no entries at all... :(

1. Christmas is coming, and with it the inevitable raft of Christmas competitions! The Character Development competitions will be suspended over this period to make way for more festive fare... but you have the remains of today to enter the current one...

2. Character development competition Part 3

I'd like you to describe the most unusual meal your character has ever eaten. Tell me what it was and the circumstances under which you ate it. Yes, you can be icky if you want to!

Closing date TODAY!! Send your entries to me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] in .txt or .doc format.

1. December KMTs
   

"Sixty minutes"

There are developments that take months and years, but there are also those moments where an hour is all it takes to make you a different person. Write about such an hour that affected your character.

Length requirement: 2 pages minimum, not counting the intro and afterword. Intro and Afterword should be a maximum of half a page each.

Kaiann's running this one, so entries to [Log in to view e-mail addresses] in .txt or .doc format by 31st Dec.

"Antei Archaeology"

With the recent arrival of the Dark Brotherhood on Antei, and the subsequent building of the Great Hall, many objects have been uncovered that obviously belonged to the people who had once lived on this planet years ago. Find a random artifact, (official DB artifact, or made up by yourself). In your haiku poem describe that artifact, discuss the way you found it or whatever you would like to write about it, but it must focus on the artifact.

If you are not aware of how to write Haiku, check it out in Poetry Course notes, available in Shadow Academy.

Tiss is running this one, so entries to [Log in to view e-mail addresses] in .txt or .doc by 31st Dec.

NB: If you want your object to be an official DB artifact, it must be approved by the DJM's office.

1. I've heard vague rumblings of discontent about the KMTs, but nothing specific, so give me your feedback here:
