Merry belated Sithmas to everyone and welcome to my second report as Herald of the Brotherhood. Hopefully, all of you have survived the holidays so far and made it to celebrate them with your friends and families as far as that was possible in these weird times.

Sithmas Dossier Skins

What would a DB Sithmas be without any gifts from the Herald staff to the rest of the members? While not as big as the Herald Style Hanukah we had over the years, the staff still managed to come up with some awesome releases for all of you.

This year, the releases are inspired by Star Wars shows that aired over the course of 2021 or are about to air before the year is over:

Ladies first, made by Aylin we have two sets of clothes, first inspired by Fennec Shand as we saw her in both the Mandalorian Season 2 and the Bad Batch Season 1 as well as she will appear in the Book of Boba Fett: Unlocking at Journeyman4 you will find the Fennec Armor:

Also Unlocking at Journeyman4 Aylin created the robe of the Sith Lady from Star Wars Visions aka the Sith Bandit Robe:

Made by Kris we continue with more Star Wars Visions inspired items, unlocking at Equite 1 we have the Sith Ronin's Katana:

Another item drawing inspiration from Star Wars Visions and unlocking at Equite 1 as well we have the Umbrella lightsaber:

Note that both the Katana lightsaber and the Umbrella lightsaber are the first items to visualize 'Shadowsheath' upgrade and won't be usable unless being split from the rest of the item when you want to do so in fictions.

Last but not least made by Rian come two rifles. First, the infamous rifle used by the one and only Boba Fett, the BlasTech EE-3 (unlocked for everyone at the rank of JM4 or higher):

As well as the Merr-Sonn 773 Firepuncher also unlocking at Journeyman4:

All items will be uploaded as you are reading this report so please be patient if one or the other items might not immediately appear on your selector

Plans for the upcoming year

One of the most frequently asked questions I received since my appointment as Herald is the question if there will be a return of Competitions run by the Herald that will earn a member access to custom dossier skins they will otherwise have only a low chance of getting.

While I admit to having missed replying this to one or the other of you personally when they asked, I will now reply to this so everyone will know:

Yes for the upcoming year, I plan of running Competitions that will allow you to win custom dossier skins. However, not all of them will have a custom robe for achieving the first place but I assure you that all of the prices will have a uniqueness to them based on the difficulty of the competitions and I will do my best to design the competitions so that not only the art-inclined people will have a chance at winning.

Emojis for the official Brotherhood Channels on Discord

One or the other might have noticed that some of the emojis you have on other discord channels might be missing on the official Brotherhood channels. Well now is your chance to change that. If you feel like you know one or more emojis that definitely need to be added to the official Brotherhood channels you can now submit these to the official herald staff e-mail that can be found on the Dark Council roster page. These emojis will then be reviewed by the staff and once it's clear they meet the Brotherhood chat rules, will be uploaded to the servers.

Honoring the Herald Staff

Last but not least, I want to show some gratitude for my awesome staff. The last months have been hard for all of us and still, they all stood tall against the odds and kept producing art that was more outstanding than the previous one. For this reason, I am offering all members of the staff to receive a either warbanner or a custom weapon skin one tier higher than their rank would grant them access to independent of any still impeding reward.

Closing

I think this is a perfect end for this Christmas season. I wish everyone a relaxed new years eve and see you all over in 2022.
