Greetings!
We have seen many important events taking place since my last report.
Phase 2: Chapter 2 of the Dark Crusade has finished on the 31st of August. It has proven to be very challenging Chapter, as we have all been tired. However, no matter of all, we have seen the first victory of our House in the Dark Crusade. Thanks to the awesome work of all members of the Special Forces, we have managed to defeat Clan Naga Sadow and claim Korriz for ourselves. Congratulations and thanks! We have time till the November before the next Chapter starts.
A rare situation to be seen is the fact that over 1,000 Shadow Academy courses have been passed between the last and the previous report of the Headmaster ( 1,002 courses to be precise ). Our comrades have put significant efforts to secure this awesome number of completed courses by passing over 60 courses. Three members of our House, who has passed over 10 courses each, in accordance to my challenge, have been awarded Dark Crosses. These members are Dante, Evant and Lucyeth. In addition, Eetherbiail has been awarded a Scroll of Foundation, as one of ten randomly picked members of the Brotherhood, who have completed at least one course accounted for the challenge from the Headmaster. Congratulations!
We have also seen the launch of Character Sheet betatests. If you have not taken look at it, I strongly recommend doing so. Despite its limitations, which may be a little bit annoying, the current system is indeed impressive. Remember that the Character Sheets will be utilized for any fictional aspect of the Brotherhood activities, which means not only the Antei Combat Center, but any other writing activity, including competition entries and Run-Ons. It is important to always regard your Character sheet, as you will lose points for not following it. Certainly, some healthy reason must be taken under the consideration, as many things depend on the circumstances, but making yourself an almighty god will not help you. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you wish to recover your Character Sheet from the previous system, please visit http://dbjedi.darkjedibrotherhood.com/ and make sure to copy all necessary data.
Finally, there have been several important command changes, promotions and awards in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Please, join me in congratulations for Montresor and Dacien on their appointment to the Quaestor and the Aedile of Plagueis respectively. Good luck guys!
I would also like to congratulate the Shadow Academy boss, Solari, on his promotion to the rank of Consular Cleric, which is the highest of the Jedi Equite ranks. He has more than earned this promotion with his extremely dedicated work as the Headmaster of the Shadow Academy ( imagine, over 1,000 courses in-between the regularly relased reports! ). Thank you and congratulations!
Congratulations go also to Taigikori Aybara for his promotion to the first rank in the Elders class, the Dark Side Adept. Taigikori has done excellent job as the Justicar, not only limiting himself to conducting trials, but also making sure that the Covenant reflects current situation of the Brotherhood and gives equal rights to all members of our club. Thank you and congratulations!
We are making the last preparations to make launch the Imperial Senate, which shall serve as our primary debating platform. As soon as the special subforum will be created, we will set the first HSP Debate Championship. We have plenty of topics to debate on and I am sure that you will not be disappointed with them. So, send me an e-mail and let us know that you are interested in participation!
Unfortunately, we have seen Krath Priestess Mayda Ferium and Guardian Icy Acari leaving the Brotherhood soon after the last Chapter of the Dark Crusade. We wish them luck in the real life and hope that they will return to us one day.
There are three House competitions, which you may participate in:
All these competitions end at the 23rd of Semptember, so you still have six days to submit your entries. Go for them!
For the gamers, we have two DJB-wide competitions:
The first one ends on the 29th of September, while the other one on the 30th of the September. It is definitely worth give them a chance!
In recent weeks, we have seen numerous awards and promotions granted to members of our House.
First of all, I would like to congratulate Eetherbiail, who has very recently ( yesterday! ) joined the group of Equites by earning a promotion to the rank of Sith Warrior. It has been more than a well-deserved promotion, as Eether has been an example of a stalwart member of our House, whose contributions might be unseen at the first look, but are extremely valuable for our House. Congratulations, Eether!
My sincere congratulations go to Lucyeth, who has made it to the rank of Acolyte in eight ( 8! ) days since joining the Brotherhood and our House. Excellent job, Lucyeth! Keep up great work and you will become a Dark Jedi Knight in no time!
Let me congratulate Brandon Tarsus, who has earned a promotion to the rank of Acolyte too. Well done and keep up good job!
Xen’mordin Vismorsus has earned three Gold Novae and one Silver Novae. Archangel has earned two Gold Novae and two Bronze Novae. Dante has earned two Gold Novae. Each of the following current and former members of our House – Mayda, Eether, Evant, Koryn and me - has earned one Bronze Nova. Total number of Novae earned by us during the last Chapter of the Dark Crusade is fifteen ( 15! ). Congratulations and thanks! Awesome job!
Dante, Evant and Lucyeth have earned Dark Crosses for completing the Aedile Challenge for September, which was to pass at least 10 SA courses before the Headmaster’s report for this month. Congratulations!
We have seen an extremely successful time for our House in recent weeks. The clue is that I believe that we may maintain it, as we have potential to become even better. I can see several very promising Journeymen, who may become really skilled competitors. It is deep in you, guys and only you can make this true! You are the future of our House. You are the future of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood.
Thus, I ask you to do give yourself a chance. Do not be afraid to take part in competitions. You think that you have no chance to place? Take a close look at my dossier. You will notice that I have very few awards for the competitions, which are open for all members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, especially big competitions like Vendettas. Most of my awards, which I have gained for participation in such competitions, come from team competitions, like preparing a battleplan. Remember that everyone learns with practice and there is probably no better practice for you than to take part in various competitions. You do not need to place. It will come with time! On the other hand, Phase 2 Chapter 2 of the Dark Crusade ( the last Chapter ) has been an awesome way to earn awards for the participants of the General Forces. If you take a look at the Results, you will notice that Multimedia event and gaming event had just one placing per each event. Yes, it means that there were no more participants and awards could have been easily gained by mere participation. Bear in mind that such situation is an extremely rare exception and it will probably not happen anytime soon.
You really do not need to be afraid of us. All members of our House, both the House Summit and rank members, are here to help you. Do not be shy. If you have any DJB related issue or just want to talk to us, you may always e-mail us or join us in the House IRC channel. Xen’Mordin ( the Quaestor ) lives in USA, I live in Central Europe and Koryn lives in Western Europe, so it is highly probable that you will encounter one of us on IRC. You do not know how to use IRC? Let us know via e-mail or go to the Shadow Academy and take a course, which covers this matter.
You are the most valuable treasure the House and the Brotherhood may have. Without you, neither the Brotherhood nor its units will continue to exist. You may make the best of your time here only in the situation, when you give it your best. So, really, do not be afraid to give it a try. No matter of your rank and time spent in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, you may experience great sense of community and awesome feeling of fun. It is only up to you, if you use this exceptional opportunity!
Respectfully, KP Xantros HSP Aedile
