Fiction Update:

Syrena’s hand brushed over the worn leather of an old book, with the emblem of a lightsaber and wings on the front, a scripture containing the history of the Knights of Allusis. After many years had passed following a dissolution, now was the time for the Knights to rise once again, acting alongside Odan-Urr to serve as a force of protection for vulnerable populations lacking established defenses. The first step would be to restructure the Knight’s stronghold, by ensuring a properly stocked armory, and to begin raising the currently small number of Knights by furthering their recruitment efforts. With hope for a successful reestablishment of the Knights of Allusis, Syrena was aware that this would also require the need for a new code of honor to be drafted, and felt curious as to how everyone’s views would impact this important decision.

Recalling the recent events near the Western Gates, it would seem that Jon Silvon and Frenek Mausma, two current Knights of Allusis, had formed a coordinated tactical effort to assist in the proceedings of calming civil unrest among the Quermian people. “They’ve done well so far, and have demonstrated an important skill set as Knights in their ability to strategize,” Syrena remarked. With a set of ceasefire agreements having been negotiated between both the Odanites and the Vauzem forces, perhaps this meant the Clan could find a temporary respite, to enjoy the upcoming Life Day celebration at the Winter Palace in Solyiat. However, with the temporary peace, it would make for the opportune time to begin focusing on the rebuilding efforts for the Knights of Allusis.

Call to Valor, Phase One:

With the Knights of Allusis rising once again, it is time to play a key part in that process with the Call to Valor competition series, which will run until December 31st. Help to lay down the foundation of the Knights by aiding in the recruitment efforts, partaking in the development of the code of honor, and assisting in the forging of a new armory to house weaponry befitting the Knights.

• Stock the Armory: Play a key role in defining the design of the armory within the Knights of Allusis, the various weapons stored there, and their significance.

• A Knight’s Oath: Help form the guiding foundation of the Knights of Allusis, by sharing what your character’s core values are and a moment that helped define them.

• A Knight’s Blade: What sort of bladed weapon would a Knight of Allusis wield? Add your mark by creating the design for a blade befitting a Knight.

• A United Force: It is time for the Knights of Allusis to take up arms once again, and to begin training. Here is the chance to do simply that in this gaming/cluster race competition.

• The Knight’s Call: Help aid in reuniting of the Knights of Allusis, by designing a recruitment poster in this graphics/multimedia competition!

Additional Competitions and Involvement:

• The Western Marches: Intermission - With a temporary truce being struck, there are many great competitions here to get involved in, with several multiplayer gaming ones and graphics/multimedia.

• Praxeum Days: Life Day at Winter Palace- For those interested in a social RP, here we have it! Join in on Clan Odan-Urr’s Life Day celebration and holiday festivities.

• Saints and Sinners Fiction Competition, highly recommend these, as they are a great way to begin exploring your character’s personality aspects more while delving into their pasts

• Now is a great time to get in on some of those ACC battles, with the competition Let’s Get Down to Business currently running.
