Kaernites:

Things have been very quiet in Tarentum lately so we've gotten a little lax about reports, but that's all about to change! Several things are coming up over the next couple weeks that should get things moving again. All of you who just got out of school for the summer... now you've got all sorts of free time to sit inside in the air conditioning and write fiction! :P

*** AWOL CHECK ***

The Master At Arms is running a massive DB-Wide AWOL check. If you've never been through one of these before, it's our way of clearing out people who are inactive and moving them to the Rogues. If that happens to you, don't despair! Your dossier will remain intact and you're free to come back when you are ready to be active. You should have gotten an email from Korras about this already. If you want to stay on the roster, just reply to that email with your dossier number and you're all set!

*** Theocracy Run On ***

The "Theocracy of the Unwilling" Clan Fiction is just about done, and it's a prelude to the once-yearly Clan-wide run-on! So if you like run-ons, be sure to read up on the fiction so you can take part in this one. Here's the link to the fiction: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6073

*** Mini Run-Ons ***

Ronovi has relaxed her run-on policy, which means Houses are once again allowed to run small scale run-ons. Nami and I are hatching some plans for Kaerner run-ons which will take place after the Theocracy one finishes up. They'll involve House Kaerner's piratical activities, and should be a great chance for all you Journeymen who survive the AWOL check to check off a few of those requirements on your path towards Dark Jedi Knight.

*** Transfers ***

Dralin has been selected to replace Saitou as Quaestor of House Reinthaler. I'm sorry to see him go, but very pleased that he got the job. Good luck Dralin!

Robin Hawk has transferred in to Kaerner. She sounds pretty excited to be here, and I'm happy to welcome her into our House.

Here are a few things you can do to start to get involved:

1) Battle Teams - If you want to be active, Battle Teams are the way to go. Spectre is our gaming focused BT, based at the House headquarters on Joran. The Reckoners are our fiction focused BT, based in the City of Eden. Fire off an email to Jagen or Teia and let them know which team you prefer. Below are links to the Wiki pages for each BT:

2) Master/Student Program - If you are a Journeyman and you need some help getting oriented, or if you are DJK+ and need something productive to do, the MSP is the number one best way to do it! Head over to the Wiki and check out the list of unmatched Masters and Apprentices to find someone to pair up with:

3) Competitions - There are always a few competitions running. The best way to find out about them is to log into the Competition Center on the DJB website and click "Stuff that matters to me". Or, be clever and use this link here:

4) Promotion Requirements - For the many of you who are below the rank of Dark Jedi Knight, you can chip away at your promotion requirements and make progress toward your next rank. The requirements are listed here:
