Clan Report: Volume 2 Report#1 for Week Ending 16/09/07
(Re-)Introduction
Well folks, I've returned. The 13th Consul of Arcona has left the Shadow Realm for the forseeable future and he has taken his place once more on the Serpentine Throne as the 22nd Consul of the Clan. Much has changed in the 4 years since I last lead Arcona, I have stayed in contact throughout that period but much will have slipped by - so I ask you to be patient with me as I get back up to speed. With regards my leadership abilities, those have never waned and I am as keen and as excited to lead you now as I was all those years ago.
To all the memebrs who know/remember me - hello again!!! For those of you who don't know me and wish to figure me out before you have to speak to me (!) I suggest you have a read through my DB Wiki, it's all there.
This should be fun...
Let The Shadows Weep...
<span class="style10">The Hall of Shadows lay empty. Whisps of light broke through the gaping curtains and illuminated the sinister Altar of Rcayne. The hulking block of jet black obsidian appeared to weep, as the light slowly trickled from the sacrifical surface down to the ancient carvings of Khamaran text. As the day passed and the light from Dajorra's sun moved menacingly through its trajectory, the altar could do nothing but sit and absorb the light, soaking it into its dark heart. Arcona found herself in the in the same position. Decimated after the recent wars with the Vong and other Clans she now sat idle, like the altar, stranded, wounded, defeated. There was no leadership, no guidance, and no path. Arcona had lost her way. Now all she could do was sit and soak it up, the same as the ancient artefact that lay in the heart of the Clan headquarters.</span>
But then it all changed.
From the “Thrones of the Elders” a form slowly emerged. Tendrils of shadows burst forth from the dark onyx chairs, twisting and writhing together as they created the form of a large seated man. As his corporeal form was completed he stood up from his throne and walked towards the valiant altar. His towering mass was formidable although truly indistinguishable due to the dark robes which covered all but his deep set eyes. These were burning deep within the shroud of his hood, intimating a visage of horror and malice. Glaring at the flagging curtain, with a snarl it swiftly corrected itself and the Shadow Master was surrounded, more fittingly, in a sea of darkness.
Breathing deeply, hands stroking the smooth surface of the Altar of R`cayne as he passed, Mejas Doto walked towards the Serpentine Throne. It was time for Arcona to be resurrected. It was time for his Children of Chaos to once more be called to arms. They needed to unite under one leader, for Arcona and for the Shadow Realms they guarded.
Sitting in the Serpentine Throne, the dark blue hands of the Zabrak Master gripped the twisting mass of iron serpents that formed the arms of the chair. Closing his eyes, Mejas could feel his mind reach out to every Arcona. As if sparks were going off in his mind he felt his connection to his Clansmen. He felt their despair, their sorrow, their fears, their hopes and their dreams. As the see of emotion engulfed his core, Mejas steadied himself and intimated his announcement.
“My Children of Chaos, your Guardian has returned. The recent turmoil we have suffered has never before so deeply affected this Clan. We have lost our way, we are scattered, unfocused and a disgrace to our lineage. We have fallen into the abyss and I have watched from the shadows for long enough. It is time for me to take what every Dark Jedi needs to fulfil their deepest desires: power. It is time for me to act more than your Guardian; from today I am your Consul once more.
Arcona will weep no more as we resurrect and reconnect with our true Arconan spirit. The changes I enact will be both ruthless and swift. I will rule once again with the iron fist that my legacy so rightly remembers me for. Many of you will question my lead, you will fear my actions as they will be of the like no Clan in the Brotherhood has ever witnessed before. They will shake the very foundations of our Clan and offer challenges and opportunities to every Arconan; indeed every Dark Jedi throughout our Brotherhood.
I will say no more until I have attended an audience with our Dark Council. In the meantime prepare yourself. Only the worthy will triumph, the true of spirit and those dedicated to the Clan and our mighty Brotherhood.
_Embrace the Darkness.” _
Many of you read my news post and have been asking what exactly this means for Arcona? What are these ramblings and how are they going to help restore Arcona to her former glory? Well, in true leadership fashion - I can't unveil it to you all yet!!! But.... I can tell you that I have been consulting with Strategos and Alex over some of the finer points of my master plan and they are helping me refine my ideas before I present them to you, the members. I can say that they will be radical and some of you may think that I've lost my mind completely - however, I think we really need something off the wall and radical to help kickstart this Clan again. Please do not pester Alex or Strategos for information. We will deliver as soon as we can - I'm hoping midweek.
Once this first phase has kicked off I have a few more projects to unveil, both during and after my "main event". These are perhaps more conventional and will be implemented after the Clan Summit has reviewed my proposal documentation (already completed!).
New Clan Arcona Fleet
I currently have a variety of people advising me on the selection of the new Arcona fleet - from both in and outside the Clan. I will endeavour to get the best buys that I can for you. Let me add - that I'm a Scotsman and one of the many things that we are renowned for is being tight fisted (careful with our money). Ships are not my forte but I will using the arguments presented to me to make an informed decision on Arcona's behalf. Again, this will be unveilied to the Clan as soon as the Grand Master has approved our selection.
GJW Awards
Please be aware that I've walked in on this halfway through, but this will be my first priority over the weekend. Alex has alredy started the ground work and I am asking all summit leaders during the GJW to mail me lists of all participants. We can then triangulate the data and ensure nobody is missed out. I will personally process all requests by midweek. Thanks for your patience up until now!
A very brief report this week as I have only just returned to office and am still getting up to speed on things. Unfortunately I don't have Arcona Groups posting access so I've been relatively quiet unless I've seen you on IRC. Don't worry though, this is not a reflection of how I will be conducting my office! Enjoy the peace while it lasts - you'll soon be cursing me when I get mailing list access!!!
I'd like to thank all members, both inside and outside Arcona, for their praise and support. I am delighted to have been afforded this second oppertunity and I'm glad everyone else is asexcited about me getting Consul as I am!!! I look forwrad to working with you all - old friends and the new life blood of our Clan. I am a cantankerous, brutal, unfriendly character IC wise, but OOC you should all find me approachable, friendly and probably slightly mental. I'm also going to say this, and only once: I can spell, it's just my typing that sucks - and no I amn't on crack.
As always, if anyone has any problems at all then please don't hesitate to contact [Log in to view e-mail addresses].
