Good morning everyone, this supplemental report will be brief and to the point.

First, I want to thank Anders for everything. He has been a phenominal asset both previously as a Quaestor, a Proconsul, a Consul, and yet again as a Proconsul. He has been a core driving force behind everything that is Taldryan, and his efforts are greatly appreciated. You have my eternal thanks brother.

But, as old proverbs dictate, all good things eventually must come to an end. That said, he has chosen to step back from Proconsul to focus on family and enjoy his time as a member of Taldryan. No, he is not leaving us. (I refuse to allow that to happen.)

Over the last few months since receiving this confirmation; I have carefully observed and looked at members throughout the brotherhood silently, seeing how they are in terms of various factors. Communication, involvement, activity, drive, ambition, among others. Taldryan, while in a solid state now, needs a solid successor for when I do eventually step down. Someone who can keep that drive going and push us to even greater heights. Someone capable of handling both the burdens and mantle of Consul, and who would do right by Taldryan as well.

And, after careful consideration, I have found that person. After conferring with their Consul, and then them, that person has agreed to become Proconsul, with the intent of eventually succeeding me. Since they have also taken the time to write up an introduction to the Clan to include with this brief report, I will let them speak for themself.

Everyone, please welcome your newest Proconsul Pecan, Ood Bnar!

Greetings to everyone who doesn't mind introductions! We now say goodbye to those who do mind, perhaps, unless they're also contrarians who don't like to be told to do stuff, in that case...hi?

A bit of research was done and apparantly a lot of people read more than just the titles in these sort of report/newspost things. This puts me in the awkward position of not only not just vigorously rubbing a cloth over my keyboard to fill the voids between the titles, but actually consider what I'd want to say here. But this appears to be just the way it is.

I'm Ood, I've been around the club for awhile (21 years at the end of July). We can these days state, I've spent more of my life being a member of this club than I've spent outside of it. Make of that what you wish.

As we're covering a period of time counted in decades, let's be brief. I joined in 2003, got into Arcona and instantly rogued out for 2 years as I got confused (Exodus had happened a few months earlier, I joined here. Logged out for the day, and when I woke up, I went back to the DJB, got the EH DB by mistake and my dossier didn't exist... So made a new one, didn't like the atmosphere and didn't bother to come back). So 2 years later, in 2005 I got an email that Jac was cleaning the database and my dossier would be deleted soon. As I had forgotten this place existed, I figured I'd see what this was about and I've been here ever since. I got moved into CSP, got appointed Rollmaster somehow (I also joined the SA Staff). Then Moved to Plagueis where I became Aedile, then the QUA vanished two months later so I became Quaestor of House Exar Kun (it's now 2009 so we're 6/4 years into the story now). Then awhile later I got hired to be Proconsul of CSP. A year later I became Consul of CSP and an hour later CSP became HSP and I became Quaestor again (thanks for that). After a year or so I stepped back and retired into Arcona. A bit later I became Praetor to the Headmaster (we've reached 2013 (10/8 years into the story). Three years pass (2 HMs too) and then I retire as Praetor and become Special Magistrate to the Headmaster. In 2023 I joined the Chamber of Justice, I'm currently on my second (and final consecutive) term in that position. Got appointed to Quaestor of House Galeres and later swapped places with my Aedile. Oh and I'm now your new Proconsul too.

Outside of the club, I'm a civil servant working in IT and quality assurance for the Belgian Government. By education, I'm an archaeologist, historian, linguist, software quality engineer, documents/data manager, and archivist.

Overall, I’m happy to be here and ready to get started! Expect to hear from me in DM sometime over the next two weeks as I’m hoping to have a talk with each of you individually to see set up a more personal connection and get a feel about what you’re wanting to achieve in the future.
