1) I am still accepting applications for the position of Obelisk High Commander. I need someone experienced with the Order and someone who is willing to work hard to ensure the future of the Obelisk. Send all applications to me and Mairin.

2) After some serious headaches and discussions with Mairin, we have chosen the new Krath High Priest. It was a very difficult decision because of the high quality of the applicants. The new Krath High Priest is Krath Epis Daavak "Tronsta" Cantor. Congratulations!

And to the others who applied. You made this a close call. I was surprised by the high caliber of the applications and the strong interest in the position. I wish I could have given you all a position.

3) Mairin has been in her position for less than a week and already I'm being buried under the number of ideas, projects or changes she wants to make. I foresee some interesting things in the future for the Dark Brotherhood. :)

4) To help me be better organized (God knows I need it) and to be more efficient in my duties as Grand Master I have decided to appoint a Praetor. I have picked Sith Warrior Shadowhawk for the job. I have served with her on the SSD Avenger for a long time and in addition to being well organized, highly competent and imaginative, she's also a trained sociologist. So she will be able to give me a good kick in the butt when needed. :)
