Welcome one and all to the latest installment of Reports from the Hat!

With the winter season fully upon us and the temperature dropping (for some at least), it’s time to cuddle up with a nice warm mug of cocoa, get cozy, and enjoy my second and final report of the year.

Let’s get to it shall we!

News

Brotherhood News

This past month brought about a few updates to the DB.

First up, Zxyl put out 16th Regent report announcing an update to the item prototype approval policy making the process a lot easier to navigate. We also received an update on available lightsaber resistant materials.

Next up, in Arch’s latest Headmistress Report we received some information on staffing changes within the academy as well as updates to the courses. The Shadow Academy is always changing and updating as time goes on and with that new courses are added and old courses are no longer needed. In this report we get a look at a few new and updated courses, as well as the removal of the ACC Qualification course.

And finally, in the FIST Report , Turel updates the Guild and Server policy making it easier than ever to game with your friends in games like Star Wars Galaxies and The Old Republic.

House Tyranus News

While the past month has certainly been a quiet one within Tyranus we have had two new joins!

Please help me welcome Novice Hokomutos G'jigant and Neophyte Hevan Slavis. Both members have been blazing their way through the ranks and are already carving out their own space in House Tyranus. I’m sure many of you remember when you first joined the DB, so please give our newest joins a warm Tyranus welcome and help them as they take their next steps into the club. I can’t wait to see what amazing things lay ahead of you not only as members of House Tyranus, but Clan Plagueis and the Brotherhood as a whole.

Clan Plagueis News

Since my last report we have had some big changes in the clan. Last week the Dread Lord announced that our esteemed Proconsul Qormus would be stepping down from his position due to real life demands. Qormus has been a truly invaluable member of the summit over the past year and a half and his presence on the summit will be sorely missed. I want to take this as an opportunity to wish him all the best and thank him for everything he has done to make Plag a better place, he has always made members feel welcome and valuable pushing them to be their best.

This brings me to our next piece of clan new, earlier tonight Slager put out a report introducing the newest member to take up the mantle of Proconsul. Join me in welcome (back) Teylas to the Plagueian Summit! Teylas has a loooooong history within both the clan and the club as a whole. He has been a staple here far longer than I have been a member and has held just about every position possible within the clan including being one of our longest serving Consuls. I for one am VERY excited to see what Teylas has in store for the future of the Ascendant Clan.

Please help me give Teylas a huge congratulations and welcome him back into leadership!
