Alright everyone, this going to be real brief. After reading it, you should read all the other recent news postings made recently.

I've been Consul for a little over a year. It's been pretty fun. However, I feel now is a good time to step down and let someone else take a shot at the job. In real life, I recently graduated college, and the whole job search takes a lot more time than I expected, among other things. I don't want to continue to hold this position while not being able to offer my full dedication.

It's been a pretty fun run. We did well in some feuds. We had some great accomplishments. I can't really attribute any of this to myself, but to the great people I've worked with over the years. In the beginning, Macron taught me a lot. Then I worked with Teu and she was there for a long time and was a big help. Jeric and Tsingtao were the first Quaestors I ever worked with besides Mirado, and they set the example for what I expected in the future. Then there was Atra and Kalia, and they were good, solid Summit members for a long time. Methyas has always been there, doing whatever he can to help out the Clan and that was really inspiring. More recently, we've got Kairus and Mirus on the Summit, and Malik is back. It's a really great team.

And that's just some. There's just too many amazing people in this Clan to list them all here. Thank you, guys. Thank you to each and every one of you for the great times and the support while I was Consul.

But I'm not going anywhere. Upon stepping down, I'm going back to my home in Shar Dakhan, and I intend to continue to be active in competitions and Runons and stuff. I'll see you there.

Remember, CNS. Conquest is our destiny. You guys will succeed and things will be awesome, and I'll be around.
