Welcome to another Taldryan Proconsul report! This evening, Howie introduces some new members, recaps some Brotherhood news, and lays out the accomplishments of our clan mates in the last month!

First of all, I hope everyone had a fantastic Force Friday. For those of you that don’t know what that was – it was last Friday, the day all the new Star Wars: Force Awakens toys were released. The Brotherhood and the Taldryan telegram groups were filled with images of toys – as well as all the giddy joy of adult nerds (including myself) playing with toys.

I picked up two things. A BB-8 and a First Order Black Series TIE Fighter. My BB-8 is currently taking a nap after spending some time exploring my home – and I will post a video of it eventually – but my apartment is kind of filthy. Additionally, I actually got to go to Target on Friday (in the US, because Canadian Targets died a horrible and well deserved death) – and they really did a great job laying out all the toys. Well, what was left – it was pretty picked over at 11am.

Welcome Aboard!

In the past couple of weeks, we’ve had a number of new faces join our ranks! The cool thing about how things are now? They’re from all aspects of Brotherhood paths. We have non-force users, and dark siders and light siders – but everyone is a brother or sister within Taldryan. To me? That’s a pretty cool change. For those of you that haven’t had a chance to say hello, please do so. In no particular order, they are!

• Recruit Syido Annra - Gray Path, Order of the Mercenary
• Neophyte Aysteda - Gray Path, Order of the Gray Jedi
• Proselyte Taron Wanse - Gray Path, Order of the Gray Jedi

Brotherhood News

The biggest piece of Brotherhood wide news? The inclusion of non-Force orders (people seem to be calling them NFOs) into the ranks of our club. That means? We have soldiers and mercenaries – and the members of our club have the option of roleplaying as these. The non-Force user orders have their own rank systems, and their own intricacies on character sheets – as well as (I suspect in the future), their own individual styles. Dinaari’s Aedile, Major Sean Desmond took the plunge and he seems to be pretty happy about it!

• Grand Master Sarin posted a report this afternoon – it’s filled with a tonne of interesting and pertinent data – as well as whole craptonne of awards and promotions for people across the Brotherhood. It is most certainly worth reading!

• Evant posted a Voice report, containing some more detail about the upcoming Fiction Society, as well as Character Sheet information!

• V’yr posted a Herald report with a whole boat load of dossier goodies!

Closing

We've had some issues in the Brotherhood about people's behaviours in online communication environments. Whether it is IRC, telegram, discourse, email - seriously. Just don't be a dick.
