...It is time to let go of the past...

REPORT 38

Greetings Clan Naga Sadow,

Firstly my appologies for the lack of a report last week, I have had four exams in the past ten days so things have been rather chaotic, though I'm free for a fortnight now, so should be back to my usual routine. An interesting fortnight, activity does seem to have picked up and I am pleased to see things starting to get back to normal, so all in all it looks like we've recovered from recent events and are back on the right track.

One good thing coming this week is this years Clan Artisans, myself and Trev had discussed it and we've worked the Exodus into the Artisans, so I hope you all like it, more details later in the report.

Final Appointment of the Black Guard

I have decided to give up waiting on the Great Jedi War results, instead I feel it is time that the Black Guard got active again, so I am going to do the basic thing and just appoint two people who can then be challenged for their positions. So, without further delay, congratulations to the full Black Guard:

Black Prophet GhostAngel

Black Sentinel Raistlin

Black Archon Malik

If you are interested in holding a position on the Black Guard, the Consul's private honour guard, then please declare your challenge to one of the Guardsmen via the egroup at [Log in to view e-mail addresses].

For further details please visit the Clan Website at: http://www.darkjedibrotherhood.org/dbjedi/cns/blackguard.html

Homeworlds:

Rather than leave this up to the Summit it's been decided to make it an official competition, as of such it's been converted into this years Clan Artisans competition, more details further down.

Competitions:

Vampyre's Fold

The Vampyre's Fold Run-On continues at http://www.chaoslogic.com/db/message_board and the storyline is really starting to get going. Remember, promotions and medals will be given to the best contributors, at the very least I'll be awarding a few Dark Crosses for activity, though I may upgrade that if enough people start to show some interest. There're over 30 of you in the Clan, so lets see everybody make a contribution!

Clan Artisans

"THIS IS A PLACE FOR ME TO ESTABLISH A NEW BASE--

--NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES."

Dark Lord Naga Sadow

As taken from the History of Clan Naga Sadow, Chapter 6

FIVE THOUSAND YEARS had passed since the ascension of Naga Sadow to the position of DARK LORD OF THE SITH, it had been almost as long since the founding of House Naga Sadow. Five millennia of independence and sovereign rule had been sacrificed to the Galactic Empire. It had not just been the followers of Naga Sadow who had lost so much, the ancient Clans of Arcona, Tarentum and Taldryan-together with the entire Brotherhood they had all suffered from the rule of the Empire. In an act of sovereign defiance the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi rejected the authority of the Imperial leaders and of their Empire, abandoning their many systems for the outer reaches of the Unknown Regions to start again. Under the reign of Consul Xanos Zorrixor the Clan retreated from the Phare system, taking with them everything of value. As Clan Naga Sadow withdrew from Phare the remaining Clan installations were brought down with them, from the humblest abode of the lowly Novice to the grandiose Sadow Palace everything that had once belonged to the Clan was destroyed to preserve their independence and to ensure that nobody could ever imitate their tradition. The cycle of time was completed when the Clan fled to the Orian system, a land unknown to the Galactic Republic, an ancient remnant of the Sith Empire. Back where they had started, the followers of Naga Sadow began establishing a new base of operations. No matter how long it would take…

The Setting

Clan Naga Sadow has fled the Empire in search of a new homeland, we have abandoned our homes in the Phare System, including the Sadow Palace, the Sif Temple, the Kressh Fortress, the Black Citadel and the Dark Cathedral. Our search has brought us to the Orian system, the ancient home of the seventh Dark Lord, Urias Orian, and to his homeworld, the ancient planet of Sepros. The system is a diverse home to various forms of life, and it is here that the Clan has chosen to set up its new base of operations...

The Goal

The goal of Exodus, and of this years Artisans is to design this new system in which Clan Naga Sadow will now take up it's home. Unlike previous Artisans we are not decorating the Sadow Palace with new things, this year we are designing the Sadow Palace anew!

The Catagories

T h e W r i t t e n A r t s

The Written Arts Section One | Headquarters Design

For the Written Arts section you are to design your House's new fortress, palace, temple or station. As much, or as little, detail may be provided. If you wish to design an entire world to station your House on, then that is up to you. If you wish to be hidden within the main Clan base of operations, that too is your choice. Entries will be graded solely on their fictional content and how it is deemed to fit into the tradition and overall ethos of the Clan. Additional credit will also be given if a description of the entire world that the House is to be situated on is included, though the submission need only contain detail of the House's base itself.

Entries are to be sent to: [Log in to view e-mail addresses] [Consul Zorrixor] and [Log in to view e-mail addresses] [Proconsul Caerick]. Please title your submission "Submission for [House] Written Arts One (1)". Please also ensure to include your full Idenification, ID, Line.

The Written Arts Section Two | System Design

Also, those who wish to recieve additional reward may submit an entry for the second section of the Written Arts, a full description of the system in which the Clan is to be situated. There is no restriction on how you design the Orian System, you may make it as vast, or as secluded as you wish. Entries will be graded on their originality and in their keeping with the traditional feel of the Clan, and to our history. Entries should include details such as the planet names, climates, terrain, orbital cycle, inhabitants, size of native populations and their facilities, as much or as little information may be included, and of course, the more you include the higher you shall score.

Entries are to be sent to: [Log in to view e-mail addresses] [Consul Zorrixor] and [Log in to view e-mail addresses] [Proconsul Caerick]. Please title your submission "Submission for [House] Written Arts Two (2)". Please also ensure to include your full Idenification, ID, Line.

The Visual Arts Section One | Headquarters Design

For the first section of the Visual Arts you are to design your House's new home through the use of graphics, drawings, blueprints or layouts. Your submission should focus on the fortress, temple or palace that your House is to call home, rather than the actual world on which you are to live. Additional credit shall be given to those who work together with another, or with themselves, by giving visual life to an entry for the Written Arts section.

Entries are to be sent to: [Log in to view e-mail addresses] [Consul Zorrixor] and [Log in to view e-mail addresses] [Proconsul Caerick]. Please title your submission "Submission for [House] Visual Arts One (1)". Please also ensure to include your full Idenification, ID, Line.

Final Words

That is all for this week, everyones T O P P R I O R I T Y for the coming weeks rests in the Clan Artisans. It is vital that we have our new systems established for future Vendettas, and the Dark Council will soon be bugging me to get these details to them so that the Dark Side Compendium can be updated, so do your Clan proud, and submit something that will put the other Clans to shame ;)
