Hey Cestus,

It’s now the 18th of July and I must say 2009 has been one hell of a ride thus far. There have been many trials that each of us has had to face on the home front and in our fictional lives. Each of these challenges has made us stronger and caused us all too really look at what’s important to us and what’s not. For those of you who have continued to remain vigilant and committed to the House, I salute you. I know I’ve said this before, but each of you makes the House what it is.

A special note to everyone, if you every feel unsure of what to do and or the brotherhood seems overwhelming please contact Ronovi, Ji and myself. It is our responsibility to help members unlock their potential here, and no matter your rank our “door” is always open.

**NEWS>/b>

The House run-on is complete and everyone did a outstanding job writing it. No only was it fun for us, but it is one of the beginnings of a much larger clan event that will truly be one to remember. Congrats to Ronovi, Nami and Doni who places first, second and third respectively; great job everyone.

Vault of Knowledge Question

Yes, it’s that time again and hopefully this months question will leave some stumped.

Question: What is the name of the female Itkotchi Dark Lord of the Sith?

That’s what I have for this week all. Get out there and submit to the multiple competitions out there. If you ever have competition ideas, let the summit know so we can help you flesh them out.
