I am pleased to announce tonight the promotion of our Seneschal, Xia Long, to the rank of Krath Epis. Sildrin, as she is known in these here parts, has been working closely with me on the Dark Brotherhood website. She has been instrumental since she took over from Rax in getting a variety of updates done so that you all can continue to enjoy the best the web has to offer. Well, so you can start to enjoy it, as we make it the best.

Sildrin had a very hard task ahead of her in taking over as SCL. I do not exaggerate when I say that it took me over two years to learn all of the ins and outs of the website. There is a lot to learn and understand in order to effectively do her job. Sildrin has stepped up to the challenge and exceeded my expectations.

I am encouraged by Sildrin's innovation; she has come up with new ways to display things on the site that add a lot to our pages. She knows areas of coding that I don't -- we really do compliment each other's styles well. She has recently helped me come up with a new design for the roster databases that has already started to pay dividends in my coding: we will soon have some much-needed updates. Most important to me: she is thorough and clean with her code. The new Competitions page she made does not only look great on the outside, but the code is also well organized and readable. That will be a great thing in the future.

Sildrin, thank you for all that you do.
