Disciples of Darkness,

First allow me to apologize for the tremendous gap between the State of the Clan Address and this report. While I maintained good intentions about getting it out sooner, intentions in and of themselves do not power the Clan - lest we would be the six-time GJW winners.

But this brings me to the new section of my reports...

The Message

I have heard the quiet, and not so quiet, murmurings of Scholae Palatinae being a Clan on the rise - a possible bid for First Overall in the Seventh Great Jedi War. I do not mean to deflate those whom are floating on cloud nine; however, we have many obstacles before us before we can attain such lofty goals. In fact, we have a long road before us to ensure that we claim our proper place in the Brotherhood: The best of all clans. And it begins in a short period of time, in a feud between Clan Arcona and ourselves. This feud will be the springboard for our organization & participation for the upcoming Rite of Supremacy (RoS) and Great Jedi War (GJW).

So let us prepare in earnest... the road before us awaits.

New Members

Since my last report we have had a host of new individuals join our ranks within the Clan. These members are not to be scoffed at, nor ignored. In truth, these members will be the future of our Clan as it is today - they will become our future leaders, actives and Elders... in due time. So make sure you offer your experience, wisdom and intelligence to their cause; for their success is our gain, and we gain as a family within Scholae Palatinae.

Scholar of the Week

The Shadow Academy is a great tool and asset to further one's understanding of the Brotherhood, The Expanded Star Wars Universe and Leadership within the Brotherhood. In the early stages (APP, NOV, ACO) it can be a useful tool to explain the basic elements of the DJB. For the older members it is simply a way to expand their own, working knowledge base.

A very strong two week period upon the surface of Lyspair! A host of individuals (ok, fourteen - 14) came out and participated in the Shadow Academy. We had a number of people brave a single course: Sauni, Dirus, Yures, Max Reem, Shadowbringer, Sykes Rokir, Cethgus, Impetus & Malaki. That is a lot of people! Yay!

We had a trio of individuals double up and pass two courses during that time: Kalak Ragnos, Sapphire Corliss & Desio Predator Palpatine! And a single individual doubled their work with four of his own courses - Congrats Torak Occasus!

Alas, there can only be one victor or, in our case, Scholar of the Week. And those honors belong to Zucus Dampner. Zucus completed Astronomy, IRC Basics, ACC Initiates, History of the Sith Empire I and his Training Saber Basics exam. Congrats Zucus!

IRC

Internet-Relay Chat (IRC) is the second (after e-mail) most accessible asset/tool within the Dark Brotherhood (DB). As a new member in the DB, IRC can provide you with real-time answers to real-time problems/questions. In fact, I was once a new member that spent countless hours on this chat service picking the minds of my Quaestor and Aedile for every facet of the Clan and DB.

Notable Feats

Two very honorable promotions during the past two weeks! After a long awaited time period, Jedi Hunter Zeron was presented his lightsaber and the infamous title of Dark Jedi Knight! In addition to this, Zeron has been hard at work helping ensure the accuracy and ingenuity of our Legions of Scholae fictional document!

But he was not the lone Sith from Caliburnus to be elevated... Sith Warrior Thran Occasus was elevated to Sith Battlemaster for his continuous work in a range of facets for the Clan. Thran is currently serving as the House Caliburnus Quaestor and doing a helluva job at it! In fact, he is finishing up the much anticipated HC run-on that details the legendary blades return to action on behalf of the Clan!

Congrats to both!

On the Horizon

Clan Development still progresses at a rapid rate within the Clan. If you don't believe me, check our the Clan Prospectus on the DB Wikipedia! I'm still highly encouraging everyone to participate in Zeron's NPC Creation competition - these individuals will be used to flesh out the remainder of the Army NPC list! Additionally, keep your eyes peeled for the next series of competitions that will allow you to sculpt our worlds within the Cocytus system.

As some of you may have heard... war is on the horizon... Scholae Palatinae will be engaging Arcona in a feud that will test the mettle of both Clans before the start of the Rite of Supremacy. This feud will give everyone an opportunity at some vaunted medals, bragging rights and give the leadership an idea of how to prepare for the upcoming Epics.

THE FIN

As always, I have an open door policy. This means you can come to me with any subject and expect my impartiality as I look into the matter you bring before me. Will I always have something positive to say? In a way, yes... but I remind everyone it is my duty to make analytical decisions to help the Clan as a whole progress. So if you have an idea and I say 'no' it doesn't mean no forever... just not right now.

Servant of the Clan,

Braecen Kunar
