Light music serenaded through the study, caressing the two inhabitants. The only illumination came from the large reading lamp and the roaring fire keeping Caina's cold at bay. The Roll Master sat at his desk pouring over a copy of the Epistle of Darth Ruin. At a table by the fire, an Elomin sat copying out a rare text onto Kalak's favourite medium: Vellum. For several days now, the Falleen Lord had been delving into the legends of his new House. One particular thing that had drawn his attention was the rumour of a cult that had died out a few centuries ago but had sworn to return and destroy enemies of the great Dorimad Sol. He flicked his gaze over to a fragment of text recovered along with the Epistle “And so, when the enemies of Sol rise, so shall the Sun and he shall

his servants and both light ­­­and dark will

. Sol Invi__us”

The Falleen sighed inwardly; this particular dialect of Sithese seemed to have merged with another language of which he had no knowledge, making the text more than a little difficult to decipher. One of the foremost classical philologists in the Clan and he couldn’t fully read a few lines, pathetic. One phrase stuck out, Sol Invi___. That could almost certainly have something to do with being undefeated. Kalak rubbed his eyes and turned to write his Roll Master’s report, keeping a gimlet eye on the scribe at the same time.

IMPORTANT = MASTER/STUDENT PROGRAM

ProConsul Ood needs anyone who is in an active Master/Student pairing to email him with the following.

All members above DJK (DJK included) involved in the Master-Student Program are to send me a brief mail detailing their student's progress (include the name of your student).

All members below DJK involved in the Master-Student Program are to send me a brief mail about how they experience the program and their Master in particular. - Is your Master helping you? (or has contact been lost) - What do you think I can do to improve the Program - Looking around, what is, in your eyes, the value of the program towards the student

Ood is setting up the MSP roster based on this, so if you don't email him, your pairing is void.

Standing Orders

Be active and have fun. Journeymen, participate in the two competitions I've put out, they're quick and easy. More Clan and House competitions will be released soon. By my next report, the Consul position should be filled and things will be going back to normal. Next report I'm going to start my own brand of report lyrics :)

Personal

It was my birthday last Sunday. Lots of money, lots of books. I'm still debating whether or not to buy a Vatican Latin dictionary. Apart from that, I've been enjoying a good spell of reading outside.

Today is the anniversary 1946th anniversary of the Great Fire of Rome.

I am, your servant,
