What up my fellow Ragnosians. It has been quite some time since my last report so I figured I should check in with everyone and let you all know what's goin on. We talk pretty regularly as is but it never hurts to go over this info again :)

BROTHERHOOD WIDE NEWS

Indy Games!! The Independence Games are half way over already. If you haven't started these, you should definetely get on that. It's a way for you to stand out and make your name known. This isn't for the clan, this is all you guys. Also, a good way to check out the shiny new website our amazing seneschal and staff have busted butt to get out for us.

Check it: IG Comps

(make sure you are logged in ;)

The Seneschal recently posted a report about the indy games listing comps that have no entries thus far. May want to check that out as well. Less entries = greater chance of winning (though, to be honest, we are pretty awesome and don't really need it :P)

HOUSE NEWS

Currently we are working on a project to update our fiction. As some of you are aware we are no longer directly affiliated with DLARIT corporation. This means that each house gets to forge their own identities and militaries on their planet. Exciting stuff. Time for our fictional bad-assery to shine again.

I sent out an email not long ago requesting volunteers to help with this task. The following list is who is working on what project. If anyone else would like to team up with the members listed below shoot me an email and I'll hook it up.

ARAXIS - Markosian City Markosian City was abandoned in SvC or the Orian Incursion. The rioting populace has since divided into many small factions and fled into the wilds. An agreement was reached between their leadership to treat the ruins of this city as a neutral trading post. These peoples could be generally warring bandit/raider-like groups.

ALEX - Mucenic-: When we left for Nfolgai, we left Mucenic empty. It has since been taken over by an order of monks who believe their monastery is sacred because of the rumors they heard of powerful beings inhabiting it - in reality, our Dark Jedi. They're generally secluded and keep to themselves, but friendly to outsiders, as long as those are friendly to them.

UNASSIGNED: Lugar Mau: This continent is supposedly haunted, so this could be some group of Force Sensitive witches or something that think they can commune with the dead. They believe in alchemy, herbology, and whatever. And they can fight, too. They like kidnapping people from the nearby mines for subjects to experiment on or whatever and live deep in the wastes in little cave huts.

JERIC - Kar Alabrek-: Kar Alabrek is run by a small government that only has enough power to control the city and the area immediately around it. They survive on trade with other worlds in the system. They occasionally come into conflict with the raiders who inhabit Markosian. HMR controls the government from behind the scenes, so the Quaestor's Office could be here.

As you can see, Lugar Mau needs a project coordinator. If you are looking for a little extra to do let me know!!

I also wanted to take this time to give a big giant THANK YOU to Tyren Atema for creating this stunning logo for SHADOW. Check it out: SHADOW logo I'm kind of in love with that logo :)

Speaking of - Some of you may have noticed I have done some wiki updates. I have basically been trying to notate articles that are no longer used but are kept for historical purposes. If anyone notices something that needs to be fixed or updated give me a shout. Every little bit helps.
