After much deliberation, we had decided TWO new HQD Leaders!

I've appointed Doon Sulvir as my new Aedile and Alex Draconis as his successor as BTL Voidbreaker II! Congratulations to you both! You can find their blurb below!

FIRST! I wanted to thank Tali for everything. Tali has been there every step of the way for me, calmed me down and I'm paper bag breathing in their DMs, kept the House Qel-Droma wikipedia up to date, and raging screaming to the void and back. In the past, they had also came up with amazing plot lines and stories for House Qel-Droma to continue to thrive in the shadows and listened to their member's input into the stories.

I am going to seriously miss you, Tali. Thank you again and I will do everything I can not to let you down. Enjoy those little tiny toes while you can!

With that sappiness aside, please welcome our new HQD Summiteers!

Hello Qel-Droma,

This seems to be a year full of changes. I am honored to have been selected for the position as the AED of HQD - the house I've been in since my first day with the club. I look forward to working with Sofila and the others to drive our house forward narratively. We've got plenty of ideas on where we want to move, but we are very much open to hearing ideas from you all as well. For a while there has been confusion on the distinctions between the houses of Arcona, I aim to help clarify the flavor of Qel-Droma and develop it into something exciting to be part of.

Keep an ear out for more soon,

-Doon "Softpaws" Sulvir

Howdy all,

My name is Bograt (or Alex Draconis, or Josh, or...about a hundred other things I've been called over the years), and I am happy to be taking over as the BTL of the Voidbreakers. I'm an oldie, but haven't been around for quite some time, so I'll give a brief intro about myself so you can get to know me:

I was a prominent member of the Bounty Hunter's Guild, a subgroup of the Emperor's Hammer, way back a couple decades ago when the Brotherhood was still affiliated with them. I spent many years in various leadership positions in that group, and overall was just extremely well-known (if not always well-liked). That's why you may see some folks around who recognize me, even though I only showed up here about a month ago.

I first joined the Brotherhood around the time of the Exodus, and was pretty active for a while. I was the Krath Tetrach of Loreseekers Phyle (history check!), and even for a little while the Rollmaster and eventually the Aedile of House Qel-Droma.

I'm an avid roleplayer (both online and tabletop) and a decent gamer. I'm technically a published author (just a few short stories, nothing major), and I can occasionally scrawl a stick figure. Perhaps most relevant is that I'm always down to help out any way I can if folks need it. Even if I can't provide the help myself, I'll work to try to make the connections needed to get folks the help they want.

I'm very excited to be given the opportunity to lead the Voidbreakers, and already have a lot of ideas about things I'd like to see and do with our team. But first and foremost I want to drive that one home: OUR team. I want to hear from you all what you'd like to see from me as your BTL and from the team as a whole. My DMs are always open on Discord (@Bograt), or you can reach me by e-mail at [Log in to view e-mail addresses]

I'll have more to say when I make my first official report in a few weeks time, but for now:

Signing off,

Bograt
