Getting Settled In

I've been Herald for a month and I'm happily warming up to this role. Socorra has been the organization queen and is helping to get all of our ducks in a row. Here's what's happening:

Clearing Things Up

As you may have already seen in Socorra's news post the other day (and via Howie's comment on that post), we have been working on the warbanner and lightsaber wiki articles in the Codex. The goal there was to clear up some questions that tend to creep up when folks are requesting gear for their dossiers.

While this is for the Brotherhood at large, it was largely driven by my own selfish need for documentation. The rules for the Office of the Herald are not embedded in my brain so having a clearer resource is key. That way, I can confidently say "No" when someone asks: "Can I have a waffle iron instead of a lightsaber for my Custom Lightsaber?"

Andrelious had an excellent suggestion for the lightsaber request form - to show examples of the hilts that can be selected. Once I gain edit access to the form, I'll throw this image in there:

DeviantArt

If you are a creator of art, we'd love it if you joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood group on DeviantArt and submit your creations there! This will help show the DeviantArt community that we are an active Star Wars group that produces content - heck...we may even entice someone to join.

If you don't have a DA account and you're one of our artists...get off your butt and create one :) Get your work out there and let me know if you've created anything awesome so I can talk about it :)

Member Art

Speaking of which, there's a few pieces of art that I'd like to call out:

• A'lora Kituri created this sweet mask for Xen'Mordin. Check out the images she's uploaded to her gallery on DeviantArt.
• Muz's work on the Shadow Academy Society accessories was pretty ballsy. I don't need to link to those - you can see them on various dossiers.
• I drew Orv Dessrx

Sabers, Warbanners, & Stuff

This month, we've produced 5 Lightsabers and 26 Warbanners. There are 4 lightsaber requests in the queue and 23 warbanners in the queue (a lot of requests came in after the SA Society launched). We're a bit behind on the warbanners but hope to catch up in the next few days.

Sabers

These sabers were all produced by yours truly.

• A'lora Kituri
• Dacien Victae
• Kalen Aquillarum
• Kazmir Natas
• Marick Arconae

Stuff

I attacked Howie's dossier with a new set of "robes". You can see them here. Socorra and I also saw to Timeros' dossier - she handled his warbanner and I decorated his robes. Abuse of power for a good cause.

In Closing

Hope you like the little comic that sums up my first month of being Herald. So far I'm a fan of making graphics for you guys.

Bork, bork, bork!
