** The wheel turns, years span before us**

_ Incoming transmission……..Received

As the Public Billboard of the Brotherhood, settled in the Audience Chamber of the Dark Hall, hissed to life, the Dark Jedi that had assemblied to receive the reports of the Dark Council halted their conversations, turning to the Holo-Board.

It was Cyris Oscura, the Combat Master. He was seated in his chamber’s throne, the warm brightness of the fireplace glistening off his skin. To their surprise, his face wore a magnificiant, warming smile. Only the closest friends of the Combat Master had seen such smile, as he normally remained dark and cold.

His hair, instead of being spiked back, dropped to neck length: he had most likely finished his daily chores at the Combat Centre, and had washed, before releasing his news report._

Dear brethren, friends, and dwellers of Darkness,

As we step into the Two-thousand and Fourth year of darkness, I urge you to look back on the events of the previous year, and the years before, and remember the good times, and the bad times you have. The years stretch before our eyes quickly, as we move into an uncertain future. We must remind ours selves of our success, and more importantly of our errors.

With the rupture from the Emperor’s Hammer, we established a new level of freedom for ourselves, and pressed by the dedication of all members, we entered a new era. An era of survival.

We were successful, thanks to all members.

You all have my gratitude for keeping this place alive.

With this, I’d like to move on to the happenings of the Antei Combat Centre. I urge ALL, in the new year, to participate in the events of the Centre. With an astounding surge of adrenaline, each battle become unique, and become very interesting. They provide great training and practice for your writing skills and sense of realism and conception. We even have trainers who will happily help anyone.

I would like to give Public Recognition to Dalthid, Kaiann, Arcturus, Alanna, Bloodfyre, Mal’ari’carun, Zekk, Trevarus and Mage for the wonderful job they have accomplished as Judges and Trainers in Two-Thousand and Three, and since my rise to the reigns of the Centre.

I would also like to welcome Lady Mairin, Lady Arania, Prince Xizor, Dark Sabre, and Ktulu Mizheray to the ACC Staff. I have great faith, and even greater hopes for you.

The overhaul I have promised is approaching with giant steps. A new website design has already been completed, new features instated (Some are already available in the ACC as we speak) and a set of revised Standard, Ladder, and Judge / Trainer rules to level out the confusion that was created by the vague rules we had. This would not have been possible without the dedication of the master of coding, JaM3z Lucius Entar.

With this, I shall finally move to my next duties.

Farewell members, and may success blossom the new year,

Cyris Oscura, Combat Master of the Brotherhood.
