Wow, where to start? Well, technically its Monday, so... There are a lot of big announcements, all of them very important. I guess the only thing to say is to read them all :P

First off, a big welcome (back) to Sith Bloodfyre. Sith was the Sith High Warrior for awhile, but before that he was QUA of Gladius, PCON, and then CON of Tarentum. Having him back in the clan is really awesome, though he was doing an awesome job as SHW, too. He'll be around as much as possible.

Next, the Obsidian Blade run-on has gotten a new round of possible awards. I've already e-mailed the clan, but you can earn some awards again. Get posting!

Third and very important is something that I must admit that I've been lax on. School and all these other things in RL and the DB kept pushing it from my mind. Well, I'm glad to say that it is finally done, though the delay is my fault. In Tarentum, not only do we like to award people with the awards you can get through the DB, but also with land grants and special titles. We don't hand them out often, but some people deserve them. Our former Consul Rekio is one such person. Therefore, with the consent of the Tarentae, I do hereby bestow the title of Equite Noctis of Tarentum. He is also granted full ownership of the Arx Solitas and the title of Governor of Yridia VI. As the Equite Noctis, Rekio hunts those who break the laws of the clan, bringing them before the Clan leaders for punishment. Yridia VI also offers a key position for the defense of all of Tarentum's lands, making Rekio's position all the more fitting of his title.

Fourth: some information for everyone. The House Summits will now have much more control over awards and promotions. Welshman and I will still be involved, especially on the bigger things, but your house summits know what you do better than I do, so it only seems logical to give them more control over awards (not saying they couldn't do it before, but I've removed some older processes).

Ma'ar kicked ass this past week, getting 92 CFs!! Ylith picked up 79 for himself.

Nifty Tarentum fact: Tarentum is the only clan with territory still in the known regions of space. All the other clans remain in the unknown regions.

On a final note, it is finals week for me, so you may or may not see me depending on how much studying I determine I need to do.
