-- Reminder to participate in EH-wide competition, formed by the DGM:

Prelude to Andevia. This comp has various elements that should make for a lot of fun. In runs through March 7 and is open to the entire Emperor's Hammer. Here's another chance for Tarentum to bring home glory for the Dark Brotherhood! I've broken out the key URLs here for the different activities:

-- Finally, it has been gratifying for me to watch the growing activity in all of our houses. There are positive signs all around of the growing strength of our clan. They key is fun, and members seem to be having a lot of that lately. Credit goes to all active members and the leaders of the houses. Good job, Dark Brethren!

-- Otherwise, I have been spending some time over the past several days participating in and watching with mixtures of resentment and pride a DC-level debate/critique/discussion of the health and future of Tarentum. At least three top DB members have openly expressed at least some significant degree of dissatisfaction with the performances of myself and Consul Ciara. I urge any members of Tarentum who find fault with my performance and activity to make your feelings known to the GM, DGM and SHW, so they will have the additional ammo they seem to be searching for or at least believe is there to be obtained. If I am ultimately considered by the powers of the DB to be a hinderance to the future of Tarentum, I will gladly step down.

May the creeping mists of our castle envelop you,
