News

--Needless to say, the Dark Brotherhood is a very different place from a few years ago, when the DB Basics course was first introduced. We have a new website that requirements more fluid navigation, among many policy changes and a lot of fictional development. All of these changes have been for the better, but few are fully grasped by our newer members. Enter, thanks to Professor Vai Azevel, the new version of DB Basics, completely revamped and rewritten. Must more detailed and attention-grabbing, the new notes and exam are now live. Even if you're an old member or have passed the course, take a quick look, you may learn something.

--I stated in the past how the revamping of the Shadow Academy into a department-based system would result in some big changes coming from our new Professors. Well, along with DB Basics, the first change to the Department of Philosophy has been completed by Ood Bnar. Philosophy I: Basics Views and Ideals is now live on the site, replacing the old Force Philosophy course. It goes over much of the same material, though in a different manner, and also prepares you for the next course. If you pay close attention, you'll also notice that Force Cults has been renamed Philosophy III: Cults to go along with the new system.

--Our new Department Professors are hard at working revamping the courses under their watchful attention, making sure everything is as current and interesting as possible. The next big course revamp we'll be working on is a new Leadership Studies. As a part of this revamp, we will be merging one of our other courses into this one. That course will be Conflict Mediation. As such, Conflict Mediation is, as of now, officially closed. Don't worry, however. First, the information will show up in the new Leadership course. Second, this course is prime for a future Blast from the Past. Stay tuned for more on the new course.

Projects

--We actually have several projects that are finished and ready to be released, and will be released over the next two months. December is Winter holidays, but you'll still see a new course, and with the New Year comes New Things, including two new courses and two new degrees. All of this leading up to the sure-to-be awesome, I'm sorry, Jacwesome, RoS on January 2nd. Past January, we'll leave things hanging for now...
