Taldryan Consul Report #18
July 3rd, 2007 OPM Duga Taldrya Arkarso
Greetings to everyone,
Yes I am doing a report, yes it has been a long time since the last, and yes this will be regular now. =P
====== Clan Happenings ======
1) Clan AWOL Check Results
We had a good AWOL Check that reduced our numbers from 115 to 75 members, lost a good bit of dead weight. Im glad to see so many are still active doing things like Shadow Academy courses, playing in the Gaming Days, and doing competitions. We just had GRD Baali Sutekh and GRD Lauria Ballard score 3 spots in the Brotherhood-wide Monthly Topic events for instance. Keep up the good work folks and look out for major competition coming up soon.
2) Mass Position Changes
As Proconsul Chaos emailed out the other day, we have had many positions change across the Clan lately. House Archanis has a new Aedile and Envoy, House Ektrosis has a new Quaestor and Aedile, and House Dinaari has a new Quaestor and Envoy. We usually dont many changes in leadership in Taldryan, but when we do for some reason it seems to be nearly everything. I have confidence in all these changes though and I know they will give their Houses the best they can. If you havent heard from your new leaders yet Im sure you will shortly, or else Ill have to yell at them.
3) Bryar Bowl II
For those new the Bryar Bowl II is a return of an event we ran early this year. The second installment actually started a couple months back now and just finished up this past weekend. This time it didnt flow as quickly or as exciting as the last, but we made it to the end and thats what counts. I made it to the finals and faced of against our own DA Sharad Taldrya Hett. It came down to the very last match; last kill in a best 3-out-of-5 matches to determine the winner. To say the least it was a very EPIC finish and Im happy to congratulate Sharad on winning it and taking the title of Bryar Pimp from Chaos. For full results you can still check the webpage for the event if you are interested.

4) Projects, Project, Projects!
Ive had some up and down times since May and now Im pretty much back at it from my injury at work. Ive stepped up things lately with Chaos and the rest of the Summits to get things finished off that are overdue.
Besides finishing off the Bryar Bowl II and the AWOL Check we have pumped out a few other minor things. Our Clan Force Powers, Elementalism, has been updated on the Clan website and now just awaits the Grand Master reviewing all Clan Powers a few months from now. Its the first real change since they came out and includes some cooler names and a few different powers. I wrote up a new ACC weapon and Clan Artifact thats just for Taldryan exclusively last week. This was originally an award offered by the Combat Master back in February for us getting enough players in our Battle Royal ACC Ladder. With just a little work we not only have it in the ACC, but as a new Clan Possession which really will shine with the others we have. Its called the Ateliuc Blade and you can check that out, a graphic will be coming soon enough thanks to Deputy Grand Master Muz.

The long-awaited Clan Promotion Guide is about here. Thats been on hold far to long and that was one thing I wanted to get down ASAP once I got back full force here. Chaos and I have compiled everything are just waiting for any final thoughts from the Summits then pass it up to be approved. Look for that in the next few days for sure. We have a Tal Times that needs to come out later this week, just waiting on a few more additions. If you think you have something that would be good to add to that you can always email me. The other big thing for the Clan is a Taldryan History Course for the Shadow Academy. Each Clan is supposed to be doing a course for themselves, only one has so far. This will be a great way to put our history, structure, and heritage up for others to see and hopefully serve as a possible recruitment tool in a way for those that want to see what other Clans have to offer. There are a few other projects, but right this moment those are the priorities.
5) Alliance?
Recently the Clan Summit of Clan Naga Sadow came to us in search of an alliance for the foreseeable future, in response to a major conflict coming up. Naturally we dont usually ally with anyone, but we made an exception here, even with one of our biggest enemies. The upcoming events will be some of the largest weve ever seen and this alliance between our Clans will help us.
====== DB Happenings ======
1) New Combat Master
A little over a week ago DJM Dalthid stepped down from Combat Master after a long, long tenure as leader of the Antei Combat Centre. DJM Halcyon Rokir has returned to fill the position and much more importantly, at least I think so, has returned to House Dinaari. I was thrilled to have Halc join us late last year and then he got pulled away from us for two different Dark Council positions, but now hes back and hes going to stay or else terrible things will happen to him, terrible things, yes. So congrats on CM Halc and dont leave again. =P
2) Dark Covenant Additions
Sarin has just announced some changes to the Covenant that do affect all members. All seems good with it; the Council was all on board. You can check all that out below.

3) Seventh Great Jedi War
Thats right; we have a MASSIVE competition coming up in as soon as two weeks from now. Great Jedi Wars only come every few years normally and they involve all the Clans competing directly for top honors including Clan Fleets and other major awards and titles. The Dark Council has been talking about the scoring system for the upcoming event over the past two weeks and things are looking pretty good for a good six-week vendetta. Youll hear much more on this as it approaches, but Ill start saying it right now, we will need EVERYONE to help out in this one. We have an undefeated record in Great Jedi Wars and we cant lose that. I know there will be some fun stuff and if everyone helps out it should be another victory in the bank for us. Be on the lookout for more on this!

As you can see, there is a lot happening if you are looking for something. SA Trivia is either on the forums or on IRC, usually posted about before hand on the Brotherhood news page. Tal Trivia was run on IRC last week by Sklib and will be run this week via email, so look out for that. The CTF and Tal Topic are fun events; make sure to check them out, Taraxs EaWesome as well. If you have EaW and want to play for it hit me up about it in the next few days when Im on IRC. Ricco is hosting a good old Run-on for Archanis on their forums so thats good, helps develop the House and members fictionally.
The third installment of the "Quick & Easy CON Comps" returns with some great simple fun before the Seventh Great Jedi War. One event is up now and thats a simple, humor-filled one word Run-on. There will be two more events that come out soon. These are easy and assemble to everyone so make sure to check them out.

====== Promotions, Awards, SA, Etc. ======
Im not going to go into heavy details here. I expect the House leaders and my Proconsul to start doing regular reports again and spotlight these things. I will try and hit on some each week though starting with the next one.
Congrats to Abraxia Sydan, Lauria Ballard, Figze, oceba, Itachi Uchiha, on their promotions over the past few days! Major congrats to Hel-Pa Sklib on his promotion to Templar!
Lots of awards coming in, for the MTs as mentioned before, weekly gaming and some SA things too. Keep it up, my mailbox isnt broken yet.
Lastly, weve had a lot of new members over the past month and you all have my welcome to Taldryan. I hope you enjoy your time here. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions dont hesitate to talk to your House leaders or even contact me. Im always open to anyone so dont feel like you can.
====== Is that It? ======
Not the biggest of reports here, but hey, its better than none right? Life has been up and down lately, getting back into work has been tough but Im glad to be doing stuff again. Catching up here has been hard. Still going to be a long week with work and finishing off some major projects, but after that Ill be a bit relieved.
The Clan has a lot of active folks now, even if everyone isnt so visible on the message boards or IRC. I hope with the leadership changes and with me getting back on top of things we can really make that even better. Lets continue to get stronger and stronger as the Great Jedi War approaches.
