Aedile’s Office, Lion’s Tooth, Seng Karash, Aeotheran

I just finished unpacking the last of my boxes. It seems like just last week I was bumming around the galaxy in the back of a shipping transport, and now I’m here; in the Aedile’s office, hanging up my diplomas and adjusting the position of my favorite thinking chair. What an interesting path it’s been to get here. But, not much time to sit and savor, I have a pile of BTL applications to rummage through and letting them rot isn’t exactly an option.

Notes from the Aedile

Moving, moving, moving!

New BTL of Devil’s Shroud Selected

I want to begin by thanking everyone who applied for the position of Devil’s Shroud Battle Team Leader on behalf of myself and Darkblade. We received a great number of applications and we are excited by the enthusiasm everyone has displayed for this position. Truly, Devil’s Shroud is one of the most active Battle Team’s in the DJB and consistently takes placement in Clan- and Club-wide competitions, demonstrating the prestige and pride of being in the Shroud. The decision on who would take the helm of DS wasn’t an easy one, nor one that we took lightly. The discussion lasted many hours and came down to literal splitting-of-hairs to make a decision as to who would become the BTL. Ultimately, it was agreed that due to her creativity, tenacity, and leadership potential to lead that Mystic Lilith Alema’rha Versea-Stormwind will be the next BTL of Devil’s Shroud. Congratulations, Lilith! Make us proud.

I want to reiterate that the other applicants for the position were extremely strong and this was by no means an easy decision to make. I want to continue to encourage each of you to keep doing what you are doing because the fact that you made this decision so hard to come to is why CNS is such a strong force to be reckoned with. It is far better to have to choose someone from among a pile of a great candidates, versus having to choose the “least bad” from a pile of not great candidates. So, thank you.

New Motto for Devil’s Shroud

Before moving up into the Aedile’s office, Bentre and I ran a small series of competitions to select a new motto for Devil’s Shroud. Here it is, folks: By Sadow We Are Bound, In Shadow We Serve

I am quite proud of that motto and think that it (A) represents the spirit of the BT, and (B) represents the pride of CNS. The motto is officially listed on the website.

Check the competitions listing for more.

• Super creative competition to succinctly/boldly describe DJB Lore being run by Turel. Check it out!

• DH is running a CNS-wide fiction competition to describe the new HMR HQ, Level 9

• Still time to submit to the Null Zero Multimedia competition! Don’t let me win it so easily!

• Ranarr is running a mobile gaming competition and a flash gaming competition.

• Scarlet and DB are running a unique series of puzzle competitions.

Challenge to the House

Every report I will provide a small challenge. These are low-overhead or low-effort activities that will stimulate growth and activity in the House. My challenge this report is:

• Compete in at least 2 competitions this month.

Until Next Time

I am honored to be sitting in the Aedile’s of my alma mater house in CNS and sincerely hope to make you all proud of my work. I’m looking forward to collaborating and growing with each and every one of you so that, together, we can make HSD a truly legendary house in the DJB.

For Naga Sadow,

Mystic Aul Celsus
