The crisp light of dawn slowly lit up the city of Ohmen. The remains of the chaos that had transpired was still evident. With the threat of The Cause eliminated, Ohmen and the other major cities of the Cocytus system could clean up, rebuild what was destroyed and move on. It was the calm following an intense storm, and for the moment all was still and quiet.

The Imperial Palace on the other hand was slightly more chaotic. Having to rapidly plan a coronation tended to do that. With Ood Bnar quickly and quietly abdicating the Throne, there was a moment of brief panic in the palace as more instability was not what the people of the system needed after nearly breaking out in a civil war.

Utilizing his elite squadron of commandos Dante had moved to secure the city in case of unrest, but it wasn't needed. With their frustration thoroughly vented in the riots that had rocked the system, the people were much more passive now. This was especially so upon hearing that Xen'Mordin would be taking up the role of Emperor. They knew he organized the majorly successful sweep against The Cause, and such they were at least in semi-capable hands.

"At this point in the coronation I was thinking of a rousing number I have just composed," Kalak was continuing in discussion of the coronation plans. Xen sat passively staring out the window of his office, which was in shambles as it was being moved to the Quaestor's.

"Kalak I know you love this stuff, but honestly, a coronation doesn't concern me. I will be there without a doubt, but this is your cup of tea, not mine. I leave this in your capable hands to plan out," Xen interrupted. Without waiting for a response he stood and left his old office and headed out toward his new one. A crowd of eager and willing servants and assistants suddenly appeared around him.

"Well this... parade is going to get old as I try to get things done." He muttered under his breath.

In the Quaestor's Office, he found two other people waiting patiently while a team worked to clean and scrub out the room.

"Well it no longer smells like booze or squirrel droppings. I think you can safely say you have washed away our previous two leaders from here." Archangel said as Xen approached. Xen cracked a slight smile. Dante quickly reaffirmed the security of the city, attempting to keep things on track.

Following his update Dante added, "Some may find it... quite fortuitous that we have this major terrorist uprising just at the right time to spring you into being Emperor."

Xen stood with a knowing look in his eyes, "Some might indeed." Dante looked with a piercing gaze before saying, "I guess we should just leave it at that then."

"Well... It seems we do still have quite a bit of work ahead of us. Send someone to go through our own documents, I want to see everything we have on the Great Emperor Palpatine. Then send word to Lyspair. It is time we take things seriously and I want to know all I can about our name sake," Xen said to the two men.

Greetings! As I am sure you have heard by now, our former QUA Ood has resigned from his position due computer issues and lack of time to be given to the position. In his place I have been made QUA and am very grateful for this opportunity. I look forward to steering this House into a brighter future.

As my move to QUA left a void for our AED position, I have selected our RM Archangel to move up as well. Having spent a great deal of time with Arch, I know we can work hard and accomplish great things. I am glad he is willing to step up to the challenge as well. That said this does leave our RM position empty.

Rollmaster Applications

Applications for the HSP Rollmaster Position are now open DB wide. This position is primarily focused on aiding the Journeymen of the House and I do expect you to be a active member of the Summit and bring ideas to the table for the entire house, not just the Journeymen.

Applications are due by March 11th, to be sent to both Archangel and myself. You should know what is expected in an application and you can find both our emails on our dossiers.

A New Day

I am very optimistic about the future HSP holds. To be a part of it and to help mold it is a great honor and I hope I can live up to the trust that has been given to me. It is my goal to trim some of the more unusual weight from our House and push us into a serious force to be dealt with. Some of the ways I hope to accomplish this is by giving us a very real fictional development path for our house. I hope to expand the lore of our house and the information we have on our system to give a much more immersive framework for us to grow. Part of this I believe will be removing some of our more odd traditions to historical purposes while revitalizing others. It is time we take thing seriously enough to fit into the Star Wars universe.

I also hope to revamp how our house functions. I want to give our BTs specific roles and opportunities. I want to make it exciting for you all to be members of HSP again. I want to gear more related competitions to our lore so you can have a distinct influence on how the house develops. I want us to once again realize the ideal of us being the Royal Clan.

In addition I hope to expand our relations to the other houses. Obviously I hope our competitive nature remains with the others, but at the same time, I hope we can take the lesson the Disorder Vendetta to heart. We are all members of the DB add as such, we should be willing to extend the hand of friend ship to those around us. Good spirited competition is much more healthy and fun then bitter resentment competition. And in the end I hope you are all willing to rise to the occasion.

To sum up, it is very exciting to have this opportunity and I plan on working hard to give you all a great experience here in HSP. Until next time.
