Hey, all! Yes, this is a little delayed, but I figured we were all busy with work or the holidays. Hope every American in Cestus had a great Thanksgiving.

The Cestus/Gladius joint comp results are still in process, but we're getting closer to releasing the results. In the meantime, cheers to Jaron for passing so many SA courses in the past week as well as Xayun, Vai, Frosty, and Karel continuing to earn Clusters of Fire and Crescents from Gaming Nights.

Also, here is some big news: Our dear Quaestor, Kazarelth, has joined the Equites as a Krath Priest! Congratulations to him on this promotion, and I know he'll continue to do great work for Cestus and Tarentum in the future.

Apart from that, remember: The Great Jedi War is still approaching. I know Tarentum, even as sort of an outsider to the other DB clans, can win big this year. We are respected, so let's kick some ass. Things you may want to work on in preparation are just normal fiction and run-on skills. Work on grammar and spelling; mechanics are important in this big event. When you submit to a fiction competition, do it with a medal in mind, not just a point for participation. And if you need any help with anything, please let Kaz and me know.

Finally, our Cestus comp, "Velvet Gauntlets," is still going until December 20th: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/CompetitionDetails.asp?page=1&order=Queue_Comp.StartDate%20DESC,%20Queue_Comp.EndDate&sort=desc&ID=3975

Have a great week, everyone.
