I know that the holiday season can be busy, but I encourage anyone who is interested to join along in the creative fun.

Fiction Update:

The shining lights of a Winter Palace glowed on Solyiat amidst the snow, with many in attendance for the Life Day event. The esteemed Proconsul, now Councilor of Urr, Mihoshi Keibatsu made an appearance at the bar sharing a drink with none other than the Kushiban known as Wenet C. Bannog. The Hothfather himself, Edgar Drachen, made a rare appearance and offered humorous stories of the Knight’s history to the newly appointed Battle Team Leader, Syrena Valkar. The lovely Elyond De Neverse was also seen in attendance, and offered valuable insights into the expertise of healing amidst the conversations.

Meanwhile, with the rebuilding efforts underway, the Knights have been hard at work to further their combat training efforts, in preparation for their future missions ahead. Frenek Mausma has helped to uncover a potential location for the base of the Knights of Allusis, with architectural details and historically significant relics that can be traced back to the famed Jedi Master Belth Allusis himself.

Call to Valor Competition Series:

The rebuilding phase is still underway! Play a part in the rise of the Knights of Allusis with the Call to Valor competition series, which are running until the end of this month. The final outcome of these will help to play a role in the construction of a new foundation to help guide the Knights, as well as a base of operations.

• 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:

• Saints and Sinners Fiction Competition, with some awesome writing prompts, which will run until the start of the new year.

• December Cluster Race, for those looking to get their game on.

• The Hallway Series, a fun variety of comps that pay homage to some of the most iconic Star Wars scenes.

A Quick Word:

It has truly been a pleasure getting to role play with some of you these past few months, and getting to know each of your characters better. I look forward to getting to do more of that in the future!

I would also like to welcome Turel (our DJB tiger) into the Knights of Allusis, and back into Odan-Urr as a whole.

I understand that the holiday season can get quite busy, but with that said I am grateful for any competition submissions into the Call to Valor series. I thoroughly enjoy reading and seeing all of your amazing work.

Happy Holidays to all the fellow Knights!

-Syrena Valkar
