My apologies for the delay in this report. I was unable to send it out yesterday due to the fact I was moving back from college. Anyway...

It's been a somewhat hectic week for me in real life (for the reasons previously mentioned) and a slow one as CHAN. After discussion with the Order Leaders, I have decided to make some changes to the new Crescents. Instead of there being only three kinds, there are now six with respective add-ons that are awarded for specific levels and placings within competitions. Here they are:

Glass Star (Cr-1G) Third in Battle Team

Emerald Star (Cr-1E) Third in House, Second in Battle Team

Sapphire Star (Cr-1S) Third in Clan, Second in House, first in Battle Team

Amethyst Star (Cr-1A) Third in Order, Second in Clan, first in House

Ruby Star (Cr-1R) Second in Order, first in Clan

Diamond Star (Cr-1D) First in an Order-wide competition

I have notified SCL Grail of these changes and he will be making the appropriate changes to the database. These changes will not be retroactive, so you can keep your old Bronze, Silver and Gold Crescents (yay). With college done (for now) I'm going to proceed work on my Competition Guide, so expect it soon.

And we only had one large award this week, for Elminster Keldorn!

Medal Requested: Grand Cross of the Dark Side (GC)

Requested for: DJK Elminster Keldorn (Krath)

The request was made by: KAP Shadonyx (Krath)

Reason given for request:

For his spectacular work in creating the DV 26 website and ensuring its publication on time. Without his help, I could have not have finished the Dark Voice on time or have created the website.

Many thanks again, Keldorn :)
