Greetings fellow Dakhani! This report will contain information about some of the recent changes in HSD, upcoming plans for Devil’s Shroud and some very important Clan fiction recently dropped on us.

Been some time

My last report has been quite some time, and my sincerest apologies for that. Time has been getting the better of me since I went back to school again. I’m back though to finding a rhythm that suits my DJB activity and have delved back into where I left off at the end of December. Expect timely reports from Evelynn,Lilith and myself in the future. Onwards!

Clan News

Locke and Sang released a report recently, which is extremely important to read! It details the fictional developments CNS is now officially undertaking and moving on to our “Indiana Jones in space” direction. Also, it gives thanks to some prominent members who have worked their butts off for CNS the past months, make sure you congratulate them on their hard but well earned Merits/Sacs/Promotions.

I urge you to read the report if you haven’t already, click me! If you don't have time to read the report, here are the links to the three part fiction.

Many thanks to Marcus, Bentre, Locke, Aul and Sang for writing the fiction below!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

HSD Overview

The recent Wiki NPC cleanup is finally nearing completion, with some thanks to Aul Celsus and Marcus Kiriyu. For a list of all CNS NPC’s, check out the link below. There’s a few in there that still need to be updated but they are currently being handled by members. I’ll be reaching out to the active creators of some of the imageless ones (namely the ten NPC’s acting as crew for the HMR MJHC Retribution) to have them updated with at least one image, in order to give it the same feeling as the ones I updated throughout the course of the last 2,5 months.

NPC LINK!

For now, the House Summit will be shifting its focus back towards the productivity of its members. Within the next couple days expect an email from Evelynn, Lilith or me asking about the goals you hope to achieve within the DJB. Should they be realistic, reasonable and within our abilities we will strive to make a personal “goal list” for you. Together with your input we hope to increase activity and ultimately help you towards getting that sweet promotion or Merit medal.

An example would be “I want to become a better writer.” For that we would look at the fiction comps running, SA courses available, personal fiction advancement, character wiki etc to see where we can jump in and help you or advise you to take/do. Becoming a better writer takes practice and time, mainly learning from your mistakes and using the feedback the competition organizer or grammar checker provides you with.

Another example could be that you want to make it on the GMRG board, but don’t have as much time as others in order to game. We would then be able to make a list of the games you can/could play, and a timetable that fits your schedule in which we would try our best to be able to help you out in playing Pazaak, JA or any other game that we own by playing with you, or reaching out to other members in or outside of CNS that would also like to play.

I would like to say that although we will take the time to set you up with something that fits your needs, we are by no means your babysitter and we won’t be sitting on top of your to do list if you aren’t serious about it.

The current core members of HSD are struggling to stay active other than on Telegram. The Summit hopes to change this around by providing a personal goal system, giving you something to work towards. Telegram presence and a comp here or there once a month doesn’t count much for Merits/Promotions in the long run!

Aedile Actions

Evelyyn has been hard at work in writing up a proposal for the Upper Summit. Having recently submitted it to Locke and Sang, once the proposal is accepted and the kinks worked out we hope to be able to bring you something unique and hopefully bring us all closer together in a fun and relaxing way.

As is also well known by now, Evelynn is an avid gamer, dare I say, perhaps a fanatical gamer?! For the few gamers amongst us Evelynn will be encouraging gaming for PC, with platforms such as Overwatch and Diablo 3 (when they finally bring out something new). However, he’s always looking for a gaming buddy, Star Conflict, Pazaak and Jedi Academy for example.

Hit him up if you feel like earning some CF/CE and contributing to keeping him on the GMRG Leaderboard. As the only Sadowan in the top it would be great to keep help keep him up there!

BTL Plans

Lilith and I have been throwing around some ideas for an event primarily focused on Devil’s Shroud. We both felt that it was time to expand on the lore of the House’s sole remaining Battle Team. However, due to recent DJB fiction not moving as fast as we had anticipated, we have come to a standstill until the next major fiction is released. Should things go as is planned for the next update, Lilith will be able to proceed with preparations. All we would need is a date, but this would most likely be after the GJW which is planned sometime for Spring/Summer release. However, the next event for HSD will be focusing on Devil’s Shroud and their new HQ, Myrmidon.

Clan Event with Tarentum

As was mentioned in the latest CON report, CNS is collaborating with Tarentum to host a light co-op event to get warmed up for the GJW. The supposed start time will be sometime in March, so be on the lookout for further news as we head closer/into March.

This is also one of the reasons that HSD hasn’t run one of their own House events since the Leadership for Kel Rasha event, with Sands of Time and Project:SPECIAL taking up the time after that event. CNS has been busy and will continue to be busy leading up to the GJW with a high chance of at least a couple weeks downtime once the GJW start date is announced!

Final words

Check out the CON report, it holds tons information which may hopefully answer some questions you have been burning to ask for months but we couldn’t provide an answer for. The fiction released alongside the report is well worth the read and, again, I strongly urge you to read it if you haven't already. Something icky happened which has consequences for my character, perhaps you too will be affected by it!

Keep rocking Shar Dakhan!

Respectfully,
