::INCOMING TRANSMISSION::

"Fellow Ektrosians," the holograph of the reptilian Quaestor appears on the holoprojector, "The incursion has left of scarred, wounded, and broken. Many friend have died, many lovers lost. I assure you, this is the beginning of a new age. The Brotherhood is reforming, but these concern me less than our beloved House.

"During Chaosrain's rule, Ektrosis acquired large sums of credits from operations on Taruma, and our stores of currency are growing stale from negligence. A monument to our brothers and sisters has in my eyes become a necessity. We, House Ektrosis, are beginning construction of a massive facility dedicated to years of devotion to the Krath arts; we must remember our past, ladies and gentleman. The site has yet to be unveiled, but soon enough all of Ektrosis will back in the glory of this architectural wonder.

"There will be none like this, and I promise you that! Obelisk, Sith, Krath... unite under the banner of Ektrosis and stare deep into the eye of any that shall oppose us. The divine wisdom and intellect we hold is unparalleled, do not forget it. In these months of construction, you all will be updated on the progress of said monument, and its location will be released soon. For now, mourn the dead, but honor their sacrifices for us... they were not vain!

-=||=- Sklib's Random Thing of the Week -=||=-

-- As of next week, I'll change this useless section to "Ekky All-Stars", where I pick the most active and awesome person in the House, and if they get All-Star enough... they may get an award ;)

This week's All-Star is... Protector Lostris! Lostris has been on IRC, received THREE promotions, participated in competitions, done Shadow Academy exams, and just been a great example to other Journeyman. Good work, and I can only hope to see more of this

-=||=- Final Thought -=||=-

Cool House competition stuff is in the works, and it's fairly neat. It's a collection of competitions, so it's pretty large-scale and will be a huge factor in determining what Ektrosis' newest fictional elements are, so look forward to that. There will be a plot and everything, so think of it as mini-mini-GJW (it's only about three weeks long we propose). Get excited!
