[The Sword's Sheath, 1130 hours, Conference Room 12]

An older gentleman in gray robes with red trim stood at the head of a conference room table. The men and women gathered there wore new clothes, but many still bore scars and bandages from their recent action. Many of the seats were empty. All eyes were fixed on the man at the head of the table, eagerly awaiting his announcements.

The Aedile motioned to a young Apprentice, sitting at the far end of the table.

"Please stand up and introduce yourself, Apprentice."

The man stood slowly from his chair.

"I am Malferius, Sir. I just got here from the Shadow Academy."

"Thank you, Malferius. Everybody, please make our newest member welcome in his new home. You may be seated, Apprentice."

Scion took a sip from his flask before continuing the meeting.

[Website Down]

As you may have already noticed, the main web site is down again. This time, it's so that Jac can introduce some major updates. Rumor has it that he's setting up the new character sheets, which are supposed to be pretty darn cool.

[Proconsul]

Anshar announced a few days ago that Tarentum's Proconsul, Dranik, has had to step down. He has not yet announced a replacement, but he said he has a few people in mind for the position. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dranik for his work, and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

[Competition!]

The results for Shattered Tears are in, but the web site is down and the medals have not yet been requested. I promise we're getting close to being able to announce the results!

[General Notes]

I am looking for fights in the ACC. Challenge me! If you need help qualifying, I'm happy to proofread your writing and help get you ready for it.

If any Journeymen are interested in finding a Master to help guide you, please contact me by replying to this report and I will help you find somebody. The Master/Student Program (MSP) is by far the best way to become successful in the Dark Brotherhood. There is no substitute for having an experienced person there specifically to help you be successful.

It works the other way around, too. If you are eligible to be a Master and you're looking for a student, please let me know and I'll see if I can find you one.

[Reminders]

Please remember to let me know of anything you do that might count as activity. Don't worry about bothering me too much; it's my job to keep track of this stuff. Keep in mind that if you do something but you don't win any medals for it, I won't know about it unless you tell me. That includes ACC, wiki stuff, as well as submitting to competitions. Awards are tied to participation and it all still counts even if you don't win.
