Anyways- Helllllo, Shar Dakhan and a good day to you all. Now, as you can see the content of the Aedile's Corner has overflowed and taken on a form all its own. Well, not quite but the Summit finally allowed me to have a platform of my own to work from. Maybe Darkblade is afraid to stand too close to me any more for some reason? Who knows. Anyway welcome to my first report as Aedile of House Shar Dakhan. Let's get to it.

Now normally, I know y’all would be all “Bentre, but where is your normal irreverence for your office?” or “You normally bring us such smiles and the like. Why so serious?”

Well boys, girls and ewoks the reason is quite simple. We have this cool little Clan competition that Locke has hinted at with a nice little fiction. There are also lots of things going on like the Between Dark and Light feud that is just starting up, the Day of the Jac celebrations that just passed us not-so-long ago, the upcoming release of Episode 7 to Blu-ray and DVD- takes a deep breath - annnnnd a nice little SW Humble Bundle I hope you have already picked up,

Normally I would have a section here about other competitions, which you can find here. Feel free to check out events for Devil's Shroud, a chance for the Night Hawks to explore their themselves, a Monster creation comp, a chance to write some fantasy or roleplaying, a poetry comp series and a chance to write about dirty deeds of the Inquisitors. But of course you will find time to do those things between our Clan comp, right?

And hey, while I have you are looking at things, you might want to look at the Grand Master’s Address, see the new FIST’s Gaming Update for some adjustments and don’t forget to take a peek the House Marka Ragnos Quaestor’s Report. Actually while you are at it, you might as well check out Locke’s lastest report which also announced an opening in our sister house or one of the Consul reports from Arcona or Tarentum. I know I always like to see what sort of things they are up to.

Anyways, I am drifting off subject. There is the fact of the Clan competition that will be starting (wait for it) tomorrow, March 10th! I am so excited I can't sleep. Did I mention that already?

So I will have to keep hitting the coffee hard until the big event drops. I hope to see a strong showing from House Shar Dakhan and Marka Ragnos, so we can rock this event as only CNS can.

Now right here is where normally I would have placed a nice full activity report to put out, but I don't want to dabble too much in Darkblade's domain at this particular juncture. Mostly because it would put a damper on all the hype I am experiencing right now. I will be sure to pick it up next month though.

So strap up your boots, Shar Dakhan, and always its an honor to work with you. See you all in the Clan comp, and on the other side.

Your servant in Darkness,
