Greetings all.

The work on the upcoming release of the Dark Voice was split three ways during the Oracle's absence: Magistrate Oberst and myself divided the editing of submissions, while Magistrate Vithril would be doing the web-coding of the issue.

Oberst and I had finished our end, and Vithril was in the final stages of coding the issue. But then Vithril took ill.

I have just received word through Vithril's sister that he has come down with pneumonia, and has been in the hospital for approximately the last three days or so. Though a wholly minor issue in light of this development in Vithril's health, the Dark Voice will obviously be delayed.

Vithril made it a point, however, while he was conscious, to request his sister contact his "gaming club." She also quoted him as saying that "he...better see some activity from
EoT, whatever that means."

So, Eyes of the Throne, your Tetrarch has spoken. I hope you will all join me in wishing Vithril a very speedy recovery, and healthy rest of his New Year.

In darkness thrive,

Priest Vassan Rokir
Tetrarch of the Dark Orb
Praetor to the Oracle
