Looking into the modest mirror on the wall of his newly acquired office, Kael Fayne couldn't help but reflect on how quickly things change. In his mind's eye, he could still see his face as a child, considering it much more recognizable than the one staring back at him. "How did I get here?" the Arkanian asked himself. Even though he was only in his early twenties, Kael's appearance had been aged terribly through a combination of stress and those less than healthy means of dealing with stress. It was a common joke that this aged appearance was why he was chosen for the position of Aedile in the first place. He had gone from being a content lawman with a beautiful lover, to a lonely undercover cop with a drinking habit, to a reckless terrorist avenging a murdered father. Falling in love with a Zeltron had never been a smart move, and her rejection of marriage due to his "not having a future" had began Kael's fall. The murder of his noble, peaceful philosopher of a father at the hands of neo-Rebels trying to take over the Arkanian government had finished it. While his father's intellectual defense of Arkanian independence had kept such men at bay for a time, Kael's one man war in search for justice had been so brutal that many of the neo-Rebels had fled the system entirely lest they and their families be harmed. The major difference being that his father could sleep at night. He could look at himself in the mirror and tell who he was. There was a time when Kael could do that...but now...

Turning from the mirror, Kael could hear the perfectly timed rhythm of footsteps approaching his office's doorway. Angelo Dante stood before his new Aedile with a focused posture that bore witness to the Quaestor's many years as a soldier. Their personalities had proven to be a mixture of sharp contrasts and subtle parallels between the two. Kael's many rough edges had grated on the professional Solider at first, causing the ladder to send his Aedile through the Officer Candidate School before assuming command. On the other hand, Dante had also begun to see similarities in the way the two handled themselves in battle. Kael was beginning to show that he was someone worthy of fighting alongside, which went along way with the former stormtrooper.

"Quaestor," Kael greeted his superior with a slight bow before trying his best to stand at attention like a proper officer would.

"At ease, Aedile. I have come to discuss with you the future of our House. After the retreat from Salas V and the recent changes in command, our Jedi have lost their drive, their direction, their focus. It is time to inspire them to greatness once again. My office, 5 minutes."

"Yes, sir."

Kael picked up his newly crafted lightsaber, currently powered by energy cells from the blasters on which he had trusted for his life the last few years. Clipping the hilt to his belt, the Arkanian once again looked into the mirror before him. For better or worse, he was someone else. He was a Dark Jedi Knight. The Force could not change the past, but it could be used to control the future, prevent tragedies, and enforce justice. Kael swore himself to that end before grabbing his datapad and leaving for the Quaestor's office.

I Am Kael Fayne

Greetings all. Since this is my first report as AED, I felt it necessary to give a very brief introduction to those who may not have run into me yet in the house. Hailing from the sportsman's paradise of Louisiana, USA, Kael's puppet master is a 24 year old fellow who likes BBQ, hard rock, sci fi, playing guitar, basketball, and puppies (just to name a few things). I am a simple and straight forward person and I like the roleplaying aspects of the DB. I think both of these facts will be easily seen in this report. I also think I'm fairly easy to get along with. If anyone has a problem, I welcome your emails even if it is a problem with me. My main goal as AED is to make everyone's DB experience more fun and enjoyable, and your input is essential to making this happen.

Introductions aside, onto House news:

Changes In Command

Obvious to all, things have changed rapidly in House Dorimad Sol. Angelo Dante is the new QUA, and I am the new AED. It is already becoming apparent to me that we're both going to work well together and I expect great things for Dorimad Sol. Dante has more experience than +90% of the DB, and knows well how to run a house successfully. Likewise, while Draco Maligo has served admirably as the rollmaster of both houses for some time, we have opted to choose our own RM who'll be able to focus solely on our house and its issues. As most of you know, the very efficient and capable former QUA, Robin Hawk, was chosen for this role. Because she is my master, I personally knew that she would do well with this position, and she is already proving me right.

Even though these changes have been abrupt and many, I am confident that the current House Summit will lead Dorimad Sol into a period of prolonged activity and sheer awesomeness. ## HAD vs HDS Conflict

A house vs house event has been the subject of the House Summit's initial focus in these first few weeks. Because it is very close to being announced formally, I am going to leave specific details aside. However, the goal is to provide a fun means of regenerating activity after all the trying work done in the RoS. We understand folks could either be burned out or alienated after the RoS, and are probably not ready for another such trial. Thus, this event will feature short, fun competitions that are aimed to bring out each person's house-pride while not overloading everyone with 10 page long fictions and such. Be on the lookout for future announcements, and let us know what you think afterwards as well. ## Dante Appointed Right Hand of Justice

Congrats to our own Quaestor upon being appointed to the Chamber of Justice! For those who may not be familiar with the position, here is the definition from the wiki:

Right Hand of Justice (RHoJ)—The Right Hand of Justice is a member of the Chamber of Justice and serves at the discretion of the Justicar. The Right Hand is charged with upholding the laws of the Covenant and the Brotherhood's rules and regulations. Specifically, the Right Hand of Justice is the chief investigator into claims. He often serves as the prosecution in cases against members, drawing up charges and ensuring that all evidence is accounted for within the case. The Right Hand works closely with the accuser to determine what sort of case should be brought before the court.

I have not received any emails from the ol' SA since being AED, and thus must assume no courses have been passed. This is acceptable if one is occupied with other endeavors. However, especially for Journeymen, the SA is a great place to learn about the DB and get ahead at the same time. I want something to put here next time around :) ## The Antei Combat Centre

    Archangel

Knowing I will live to regret this*, I declare Archangel to be the first inductee into the Kael Fayne ARMY OF CHAMPIONS. Reason? Upon viewing Draco's last RM report, there were 9 Crescents awarded. Seven were won by HDS, which reflects greatly upon our House. While your's truly brought home 3 of those shinies, Arch did one better by scoring 4 Crescents in relatively short time span. He also garnered another crescent between that report and this one as well. This kind of quality activity is what Kael Fayne's ARMY OF CHAMPIONS is all about. Congrats!
