This is my first report as Tetrarch of the Ebon Cloak Phyle and I report it to you this day, April 2nd, 2004.

The first week has gone smoothly. I sent all of you an introductory email and I recieved a reply from only 3 of you. Now personally, I think it's fair

to note that I won't be going anywhere soon so expect me to send you more emails until I am sure you're alive or AWOL. If you've forgotten what I

requested in the reply, it's simple: a little info on you, on what you want to get out of this phyle, and a sample of your literary work. Easy stuff.

There is plenty of activity out there for you guys to do. You could, for instance, post in the Marka Ragnos/Acclivis Draco Run-on or submit a graphic

for the Independance Games Banner competition. If you like

fleshing out your character as much as I do, then the Krath High Priestess' Character Development competition will be like a walk in the park.

Our Order Leader has also issued a competition called [Through the

Looking Glass](http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/dbjedi/competitions.asp?ID=345) which must be completed with one Jedi of rank DJK or higher and one of less then DJK. To find out who's available, email the

Quaestor. And finally, as always, there are two Krath Monthly Topics for April. They are Death and ACC. I've highlighted some of the important activity options out

there for you, but you can always check the Competition Center yourself to see if anything else is available.

If you participate in any competition or you just feel inspired and want to write a poem or story, email it to me so I can note your activity. One way

to show me that your active is through the Antei Combat Chambers. I'm willing to compete with any of you so don't be afraid to challenge me, it's a

great way to practice your writing skills and have fun doing it.

Also, be on the look out for the upcoming Independence Day Games. From what it sounds like, the competition is going to be a lot of fun and you're

going to have upwards of 40 different events to participate in! Right now the Aedile is look for ideas of competitions that you would like to

see in the games. So if there's something you've really been wanting to do, tell me and I'll pass it on to Ksch.

Last piece of information this week is that I've put up a temporary Ebon Cloak Website until a

more permanent and prettier looking one is established. If you want to help, don't hesitate to email me. That's all for this week.

In Darkness,

GRD (Krath)/TET/Acclivis Draco of Scholae Palatinae
