Hey, everyone. Hope you're having a good holiday season so far. Also, if you read this report on the actual Tarentum roster, you'll see my shiny new headers created by Raimi! Yaaaaay.

• Our very own Windos, now known as Vexxtal, has been appointed the new Wiki Tribune due to Tron's resignation. Vexxtal has done a huge amount of work for the DJBwiki, and we can be sure that it'll only get better under his leadership. Congratulations!

• As many of you probably already know, the Rite of Supremacy will begin on January 2nd, 2010. This is going to be a very different kind of vendetta, and clan leaders have been receiving information on it recently. It looks very interesting, so keep getting pumped for this event! Tarentum must be the First Clan of the Brotherhood!

• For those of you who haven't seen already, Tarentum has a featured article on the DJBwiki. The article is on the Hieros Lokhos ton Taras, the reformatted structure of House Cestus. It's a good read, so I suggest taking a look at it.

• Kyra Starfire, the Aedile of House Tridens, has decided to step down from her position after a good tenure. She will continue to work as a member of Tarentum so long as her real life endeavors allow it. Thank you for all your hard work, Kyra!

• On a related note, Apollo has also stepped down as Aedile of House Gladius. Quaestor Scion Altera has opened up a clan-wide application process for the now open position. If you are interested in becoming Gladius's new Aedile, e-mail your application to Scion at [Log in to view e-mail addresses].

• I wanted to take the time to congratulate you all on an amazing amount of activity during the past two weeks. Almost every day I had to update the activity logs I keep on my computer. Thank you guys so much for powering up Tarentum, and keep the activity coming!

We had quite a few new arrivals to Tarentum over the past two weeks. Sino Nimbus transferred from the Shadow Academy to House Cestus, while RocB and Cross Jeggerd transferred from the Shadow Academy to House Gladius. Tridias also transferred from the Shadow Academy to House Tridens, and all of them have received their very first promotions! Welcome to Tarentum, you guys, and hope you have a great time being part of our clan!

In light of some of the things I've seen in the Broken run-on so far, I have compiled an alphabet of RO tips that are attached to this e-mail. I highly recommend you read them, as they can help out a lot in your present and future RO contributions.

Also, all stand-alone events for the "Broken" competition are due on December 15th.
