A Message from the Consul

Hello, darlings! Here we are, with a new year upon us! I hope that 2021 finds all of you safe and happy, and blessedly free of the shenanigans of 2020.

Time marches on, and so too do the Clan events! Some of you sharp-eyed darlings noticed the small hint that was left in the Arcona section of the Pulsefeed News Aggregator. Clearly, something is not right in the state of Dajorra. You can read more about it in the fiction update, as we prepare for a small clan event next month!

A Message from the Proconsul

What’s this? A new year? You mean we can leave 2020 in our rear view mirror? I am so excited!!!!

But in all seriousness I hope the new year is treating you all well so far. Arcona is in a really good place right now. We have a strong Summit, and even stronger members. Plus we just have Strong. ;)

We have big plans coming our way, and a new year of fun and excitement for all. I hope you all enjoy what we have coming. Everyone, do your best, and enjoy the ride!

Fiction Update

Celeste
Selen
Dajorra System

Today was not a good day for Tarro Hudal. He woke up late, received a comm from the woman he was involved with ending things, and then missed his scheduled public transport. And now it looked like he wouldn’t make it to work on time. No, things definitely weren’t going the Selenian's way.

Celeste was a city of marvels and high-end nobility. Beauty and culture were in no short supply for the underwater metropolis. But to run such a memorable city you needed a smart, hardworking staff of employees who keep the place running. Tarro was one of those workers.

You can read the rest of the fiction here.
