House Byss Quaestor Report
The chambers of Bant Komad reflected their owner perfectly: small, durable and with purpose. The room was situated on the top floor of the fortified citadel of House Byss, on the planet of Eden. Around him, the chamber was decorated in whites, beiges and creams, all the furniture was minimalistic but comfortable, and the dimunitive Nimdan sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation.
Before the Epis, a small, spherical droid twittered and beeped. This was Bants journal, and as the time came, it spoke to him
What News, Jedi Bant?
ØExar Kun is in grave danger with lack of members.
ØThere is a VERY IMPORTANT AWOL check being run by DJM Corran RIGHT NOW. Everyone has been declared AWOL by default to be declared active and stay in the Brotherhood you MUST login to the DB main page (link below) and logon to the site using your dossier number and password. If you dont know your password, then a link on the login page will send it to your email address. You can then change it in the Members section of the DB site. When you have been taken off the AWOL list, you will receive an automatic email to tell you. DO THIS NOW!! The check will close on June 17th. If you do not log in by then, you will be removed from the DB.
ØKhan is our new house Envoy until someone else accepts the job.
ØThe Independence Games are now closed. I hope you all submitted to the ones you like! Marks and medals should be announced on June 14th completely, but many have already been published.
ØExar Kuns webiste is under construction.
ØGrand Master Firefox is currently on leave.
ØThe Dark Covenant the rule of the Brotherhood, are now updated and available to read on the main DB page.
What of the House?
ØThe House is desperately short of members.
ØThere is talk that Exar Kun may be made into an Independent House rather than a full Clan, because of the member shortage. I do not like this idea, but support it as it may be the only way to keep Exar Kun alive, and once we have enough members, the Clan can be re-instated. Ironically, this is the same situation throughout the DB. Email CON Khan ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]) with your thoughts. If it happens, I will become the TET of the Krath phyle of Exar Kun.
ØA new website was being built by Corde for Byss, however since his leaving, the project has stalled. I shall attempt to rectify this ASAP, but I lack very secure FTP access, so I am at a head with maintaining and uploading the site. If anyone can help with this, please contact me.
ØWe have an egroup [Log in to view e-mail addresses] - that is for all members to use. I would like to see it utilised more than it currently is!
ØSignatures, Crests and Portraits are being found for all current and future Byss members. If you wish to find your own, check http://www.renderosity.com. Use them in official communications, and send them to myself for cataloguing, if you desire.
ØThe identity of House Byss has been made out as the spies, informants and information gatherers of the Dark Brotherhood. With this in mind, we can tailor our writings, beliefs and works to fit this unique flavour.
What activities are there?
ØThe Independence Games (http://independence.starfleetacademy.net/games.html) are being run as a DB wide event. For details of the competition, see the link above. All leaders of the Brotherhood have submitted events, and it opens May 4th. The leader with the most submissions to their event wins a prize, as do the winners of the individual events. The closing date is now June 7th, and results will be announced on June 14th. It is VERY important everyone submit to these ASAP, as we need to show we are active!
ØThe In Charatcer and Out Of Character Message boards are required to be submitted to by all members every week. The In Character board describes you characters activities for that week and the Out Of Character is for your thoughts and what you have been really doing. This will boost writing skill and Character development, and hopefully, loyalty. The link is http://www.chaoslogic.com/db/message_board/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=11. These are not being used enough! It is now mandatory to use them as the guidelines above state.
ØCON Khan is running a fiction competition. Write the story of how Alvaak removed itself from the thrall of Grand Admiral Ronin and became Clan Exar Kun in all its glory. If you dont know what happened, because you are new, please contact me and I shall summarise the main events. Theres otherwise no deadline or limit of pages on the competition.
ØOur own NOV Sinjin won the Exar Kun Motto competition with Power and Loyalty! Well done to him!
ØKrath Monthly Topics: Story Titled Judgement, write whatever comes to mind from that topic, must be less than four pages, submit to Arion ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]). Poem Titled Seven Deadly Sins, Must be seven verses. (This doesn't necessarily mean one sin per verse unless you want.) No restrictions on poem type or length of verses. The seven deadly sins = Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, Sloth. Submit to Alanna ([Log in to view e-mail addresses]) by 30th June.
ØWrite a story about the split of the DB from the EH from your characters perspective, entitled Exodus and submit it to KHP Alanna. Minimum of 2 pages, Arial 12pt font.
Has anyone excelled or failed impressively?
ØDJK Brenn is producing an interesting piece of fiction but for some reason lacks activity anywhere else, however he has now reported in. I do not know if he submitted to IG Games, but he is currently re-working his DB character. I would like to see him become more active in the House, but he is currently constrained by the management of his own business, so I wish him success in that!
ØPRT Sinjin has submitted to several of the Independence Games, has won the Exar Kun motto competition, and is proving to be an EXCELLENT and outstanding member of Exar Kun, so many congratulations to him! I sense a great dark power rising in this young Protector. He has also found the time to illustrate his Quaestor on the computer, and has won the Clan Motto competition and received two medals from the Independence Games.
ØGRD Erryc Lasiter has joined us from Rogue, and is eager to earn his promotion to the eventual rank of DJK! I welcome him gratefully, for I know of his skill from my time in other subgroups! Welcome Erryc!
ØNOV Night Garou has also just joined us from Rogue!
ØAPP Khael is AWOL.
What are your thoughts?
ØI worry about Exar Kun being made a House. If this is to happen, then it will be repeated throughout the brotherhood because of the lack of members. In my opinion, it is better to remain structured by small than small and concentrated. However, if it will improve activity and help the DB, so be it.
Any parting directions?
