Greetings, Cestians! This report happens to be a very important one, so I am expecting you all to read everything in it. Yes, I know, you have to actually read. Oh, the horror of it all. But trust me, it's worth it.

Cestus = Fictionally Upgraded!

So! After extensive discussions with my fellow house summit members and the clan summit, your Aedile Ji and I have compiled and restructured the fictional aspect of House Cestus. From now on, we are not merely a casual house with a crazy history. With our strength and our experiences, we have adapted in culture and in ways. Therefore, as of today, you are now all official members of the Hieros Lokhos ton Taras.

I know what you're thinking: "What the Hell is the Hieros Lokwhatever?" Well, I'd tell you, but it requires (gasp!) more reading. There is now a wiki page on the Lokhos, where you can educate yourself on the newly incorporated Cestus structure:

http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hieros_Lokhos_ton_Taras

And in case you hesitate in actually reading the article, I'm gonna give you guys some teasers. If you are EQ3 and up, you are now also called a Komtur. If you are EQ1 or EQ2, you are now also called a Phthian. If you are GRD, JH, or DJK, you are now also called a Hippotis. And if you are ACO or PRT, you are now also called an Akolyth. Don't know what those names mean or what the purpose of having them is? Read the wiki article to find out.

Now, does this mean we will completely change the way we function as a house? Of course not. As a house, we will continue to acknowledge Brotherhood-ordained ranks and positions. We will continue to have a house summit, hold competitions, recommend medals and promotions, and run a battle team. The importance of this change is to strengthen the fictional culture of Cestus, even if perhaps our deepest inner workings don't radically change. That's something more for House Revan to do, and we are not attempting to imitate Revan in any way, shape or form.

Obviously, if you have any questions or concerns involving the Hieros Lokhos ton Taras, I am always ready to answer e-mails. I know this will be at first a lot to digest, but once the digestion's over, I think the adaptation will be a breeze.

Windos is Back!

Yes, after a brief stint as Tridens Rollmaster, Windos has returned to Cestus as a full-fledged member. He has been doing extensive work to better the wiki and has already earned medals for such duties. Nice to have you back, Windos, and keep up the good work.
