Well it has been ages since I have done one of these things all-official like. So here goes nothing.

Shadow Academy happenings:

First off it seems as though the Episode 3 rush is finally over. I would like to thank my staff for all they did while we where getting such a large in flux of new members. Both the Envoys and the EPs have done an outstanding job, they whole thing wouldn’t work without your help.

Anshar has created a new exam, which is a follow up to one of the Tests of Skill. You can find the Advanced Test of Wisdom at the following address.

A Live Combat Academy is on the near horizon. At first it will be an experiment to see how it goes but I have high hopes for it. So keep an eye out for that it will be along shortly. I would also like to thank Venquis Rhydd Arcanum for his hard work in putting much of it together.

In matters concerning Envoys:

Anshar and I have been holding a competition among the Envoys for a while now. They didn’t know what the competition was or what the prize was, they just knew we where watching them. Among the categories for this comp where quality of reports and number of direct recruits.

The first round of that comp is now over and the winners and the list of their prizes are as follows.

CNS gets:

1 Lambda-Class & 2 Delta-Class JV-7 Escort Shuttles as well as 2 ATR Assault Transports

Taldryan gets:

1 Lambda-Class Shuttle and 1 ATR Assault Transport

Tarentum gets: 1:Lambda-Class Shuttle

Keep in mind this is just the first round of the comp. The prizes only get better from here. Also before anyone asks yes these ships while small are official.

In a more personal note I would like to congratulate my Apprentice Dox Romanae on getting Knighted. He has been doing a great job and I only see great things ahead of him.
