A Word from Your Aedile

I'm happy to see so many of your jumping in and helping with the projects we need to get done for Arcona before the final stage of the Crusade. I hope you all keep it up, taking an active part in the development of your House and Clan.

Also, to keep your creative muscles active, we have the mini event, going on, the first joint venture from me and Ernordeth, so here's hoping you all take part and it goes well for everyone. I'm very proud of this House. I look forward to seeing what we will get done.

-Will/Nikola Valtiere

Operation: Shadow Knife

This is one of the most excited things to announce for House news. We are running an event for all of you wonderful Qel-Dromans with 5 events. Not only are most of these competitions third level crescents, but who knows what else this may lead to...

Without further ado, I am pleased to announce:

Operation: Shadow Knife

Anything Else?

Each one of you have received an e-mail from me personally. I asked questions to get to know each of you and figure out where you want to go and how I can help you get there. While out of the usual, I'll be doing this every month. There are also a few other e-mails out there that are important for some Arcona and HQD projects. You can talk to me any time you like, but I feel this encourages strong communication between us and let's us get to know each other.

TL;DR

• DB News
• Will says hey keep it up
• ACTIVITY GALORE!
• Operation: Shadow Knife has begun
