Well, I was going to wait until tomorrow for the report because of a special announcement, but since the school's internet connection has been iffy lately and I want to get this out on time.

First, the awards for this past week:

-Frosty got a Crescent w/Sapphire star and 3 Clusters of Fire.

-Dox got 3 Clusters of Fire

-I got a Crescent with an Emerald Star

Anyone interested in the open SA positions (ICQ and Meditation EP spots) should send an e-mail to Spears and myself. You must have passed said exams with at least an 85.

Finally, the big announcement. Many of you likely know that I've been QUA of Gladius for over a year now. If you didn't know, well, now you do. With increasing responsibilities in the Shadow Academy/Envoys, the need for the House to get some fresher blood, and with the need to focus on some real life stuff (school and personal matters) as well, I am resigning as QUA as of March 1, 2005.

This decision did not come lightly and Rekio and Telona both were disappointed at the decision, but they supported it. But, I'm still going to be in the clan and in the House- and I'm still going to be active.

You don't need to try and apply for the QUA position. By agreement with Rekio and Telona, and with his consent, Welshman will be taking the QUA spot. He will be making announcements concerning the Aedile spot, so pay attention if you might be interested.

I'd like to thank the House and the members for following me for so long. I don't need to do any type of honor list because if you were active, then you've done all I could ask.

So, once again, thanks for your support.

In darkness,

Anshar
