The One After the War

Intro

First up, a huge thank you to everyone for all of your efforts in GJW Discord! Without your hard work, we would not have reclaimed the title of First Clan! A very special thank you goes out to Satsi, Alara Deathbane, Karran Val'teo and, Scarlett. They participated in every bin and brought home a combined total of ten novae! I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished here and hope we can continue on the path to further glory.

And, of course, to the victors go the spoils... On top of regaining the title of First Clan for Arcona, we received a hefty credit bonus to bolster our forces for the next house event. Also, several of our members were given promotions for all of their hard work during the war.

Post War Promotions

When the efforts and achievements during the war were tallied, a few among us were rewarded for their hard work. If you haven't seen anything come your way, don't worry! It is being saved up for something extra shiny!

• Alara Deathbane - Promoted to EQ4! Congrats!
• Rrogon Skar Agrona - Promoted to EQ3!
• Scarlett - Promoted to EQ1!

News from the DB

• Applications for the Salt Throne are now open! Anyone interested in becoming the Fist, and getting to yell at me because my competitions are bad should definitely apply!

• Speaking of fisty things, Drac's last report laid out some updates to the Rites of Combat. If you do any gaming, be sure to give it a read!

Conclusion

I can't overstate how proud I am of everyone's hard work during the GJW. I know that I have been a bit absent lately on Telegram, but I am always reading what's going on when I get a few spare moments. RL hasn't been too kind to me recently, but that should improve if I can face October and make it out alive. Skar has been an enormous help and has laid the groundwork for our next House event. I plan on getting the finishing touches done in the next few days, and we should have it live soon! As always, if you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns, you can contact me at [Log in to view e-mail addresses] or on Telegram as @Aldaric.

Sincerely,
