Cethgus stood beside Sanginius, his eyes scanning over the members of Galeres as he watched the Quaestor address his house knowing that the times ahead were not going to be easy but nonetheless the Exarch trusted everyone who stood in front of the two of them.

"Galeres, once more you will be plunged into the dark depths of war, once more you will go forth to claim what is rightfully ours, Arcona will take the battle inch by inch if it is required, and we will be damn sure that we will be the ones of the front lines." The Arconae's voice rang out into the group of people assembled before him. As he stepped slightly backwards allowing Sanginius to take the floor once more.

"We need to make sure we are at the top of our game, go out today and fight but come back all of you alive, and ready to fight for this clan once more, do your part, do us proud and remember, Arcona Invicta." Sangs voice spoke softly through the listening crowd as the Aedile of Quaestor stood in front of them.

Watching as the House began to move, Cethgus silently nodded towards Sang as he departed towards his own shuttle, knowing that whatever came next, Galeres and Arcona would rise to meet the challenge like countless times before.

News

So I know it has been a while since you have seen a report, and for that I apologize but never fear once more my Aedile report is here for you all to read. A lot has happened since my last report so bare with this one.

We are about to begin the next part of Dark Crusade as of tomorrow, what does this mean for us as a Clan and a House? It means that we need to have activity, we need to drive ourselves harder than last time; we need to stand as a single unit again, and take a planet for Arcona. I believe in every single one of you, I know you can work as hard as the next person, and together as a unified front we can win this planet. Good Luck, and I will see you out on the battlefield.

The second piece of news that I have to announce since the last report is we have had a switch in Battleteam Leaders inside of Dark Forge, with Jaek resigning we had Nath Voth stepping up to fill the position, and with it we have seen a dedicated and focused team, so I would like to take this time to thank Nath for stepping up during the middle of Dark Crusade into a role she has never done before, her hard work has not gone unnoticed.

Third bit of news as I know this is late, but I would like to thank everyone for their hard work in the first part of Dark Crusade, you did us all proud, I was over the moon with the activity that I saw being produced as a clan and house. So keep that level of activity up and I am sure that we will strive towards achieving more goals in the future.
