Hello Taldryan, and welcome to Taldryan's Consul Report for the month of March.
Its been a while since my last report and on the Clan front there have been a lot of things going on. Right now we are in the middle of the first inter-house war between Archanis and Ektrosis and in case you haven't looked it up yet, Justinios had set up a great teaser to the event here: Relic of the Past Teaser
You can check out the full event here: Taldryan: Relic of the Past
It is the first of events like this that will happen on a regular basis and will be the to go chance for the Houses to claim fleet assets as possessions for their own Houses militaries with the winning House having the bragging right on one of two items.
We also saw the end of the Caelus Chronicles at the end of January. The event itself had a mixed outcome but it showed enough promise to continue with similar events in the future, though those will be less long and stressful with members being included in certain aspects of the planning and directly affecting the outcome progress of them. Spoiler, an excerpt as well as the link to the concluding part of the fiction can be found further down this report, though I will leave it open if it really concludes the event ;)
Other House wide events also concluded earlier this month with both Houses offering the winners the chance to affect certain aspects of their House assets through the sub-competitions. For example Kookimarissia received the honor of naming Archanis flagship while Rian was able to define the cosmetic aspect of one of Ektrosis freighters. There won't probably always be such a high level of influence open for winning house competitions but you should always look out for such opportunities.
Last but not least we recently saw a great deal of new joins and returning members, anyone of you just arrived at the right time as this year will mark the change for our Clan, where each of you have the power to change the course of the Clan by participating in the events we provide to you so stay tuned on all updates and events.

“People of the Caelus System,” she began, “It has by now become clear that the person who was responsible for the attacks during the last tumultuous months that have shaken our home has been no one but my own brother. Drayen’s lust for power, was also the reason why he killed our beloved leader and my father before turning against our allies and myself who have stood up against his regime of terror.”
“It was during one of these attacks, that saw me severely wounded if it wasn’t for the brave warriors of Taldryan protecting me from a save death.” Ceyra continued. “Sadly my brother was killed during the attack. To hold up the laws and regulations of the Caelus System, I stand before you to announce my ascension to the role of Chancellor.”
Immediately after the announcement of her new position, parts of the crowd gathered began to become rowdy and begin shouting at her. In order to try and keep them sedated, Ceyra continued her booming address. The forms of several Taldryans unexpectedly took up a position behind the Chancellor.
“In light of the recent events, I unequivocally issue the following decrees. First, the Caelus Security Force has proven to have failed in its role as a guiding beacon of security for all citizens, biased and inadequate in its effectiveness. Without delay, the ‘Taldryan Securities Treaty’ resigns all security and protection of the Caelus System to our new permanent strategic allies, Taldryan.” The crowd became a little quieter, as people looked to one another.
“All existing Caelus Security Force personnel will be amalgamated into Taldryan’s existing forces, undergo extreme vetting, and then – under the treaty– serve as a separate branch of their military exclusive to the Caelus System, so that our people are not used in external conflicts.” Silence engulfed the thousands, becoming eerily quiet as the thought of the “strategic alliance” processed through their minds; the notion was not immediately rejected. Ceyra used the opportunity to finish.
You can find the full and all following fiction updates here on discourse: Caelus Chronicles Chapter V: Endgame (Clan Fiction)
All events of the Caelus Chronicles have been graded and the overall winners are as shown below (for the results of the final chapter those can be found afterwards)
First I would like to happily introduce our new and returning members to the Clan. A big welcome shout out goes to:
And of course welcome to anyone else I might have missed and a big congrats
So far all of these new guys have shown a stellar performance on the Shadow Academy and for that have earned themselves an easy entry to the Journeymen ranks and will soon see their Trials for Knighthood.
Alright, that's it for this time. As I have hinted at you all over this report what started last year will only be the beginning and with every new Clan event, there will be more opportunities to shape the future of the Clan.
