Good Day Everyone,

I hope this lovely edition of a Quaestor Report finds you well and gearing up for the holidays. I know the holidays are always a fun time for me because of my work- this is our best time of the year. So, if don't hear from me quite as quickly as you have previously, blame work (this includes the few of you I'm working with on special projects...you know who you are).

Just a few quick things to highlight from the Brotherhood before we move into Tarentum stuff- and we do have some awesome stuff indeed.

First up, a huge thanks go to Raken for quickly supplying the new header graphics used in this report!

Secondly, Halc stepped down as Deputy Grand Master, quite suddenly I should add. Muz has awarded him a Silver Sash for his work as Deputy Grand Master- and Halc did do quite a bit, so I believe it to be well deserved.

That said, Muz has opened applications for Deputy Grand Master, though they are due by the end of the week. His only requirement is that you should know what the application needs if you're applying for the job.

Big, Big congratulations goes out to Levathan for his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight!!! This was a long time in coming, and he definitely put some hard work into it. I'd like to publicly thank Jason for taking the lead in helping to get Levathan promoted. But, Jason was just the guide- Levathan did the work!

Also, for his efforts in the recent vendetta, Malfurion was given a battlefield promotion to Guardian by Muz himself!!

Bumpy Ride has ended. Levathan took first place and Hades took second place.

I know Jason has received entries for Horizons Musical Montage . I'm eagerly awaiting the results.

We'll have a couple more competitions coming up very soon for over the Thanksgiving Break.

Both Oberst and Hades received Seals of Loyalty for their long and consistent service to Tarentum and to the Brotherhood as a whole.

Oberst also continues to rack up the Clusters of Fire

I would like to publicly welcome Ayden Dane and Kane Vader to our House. Both transferred in early in November.

Also, there won't be an official fiction part of the report this week because Jason and I are working on the official feud fiction with Drodik and Morotheri of House Odan-Urr. We have settled on the events for the feud, and now we're going to get the fiction written up. We'll release it from there. Of course, we have to settle on the dates of the feud, too, but we'll let you know more about that. We're looking at a 2-3 week event right now.

I want to thank everyone for what they have done thus far to help Tarentum move back up the ladder. I see the house as growing, albeit slowly, but steadily. Tarentum was, not so long ago, a poster child for some of the things wrong in the Brotherhood as a whole. I think we've moved beyond that and will continue to move upwards. Ultimately, though, the fate of this house, and the Brotherhood as a whole, rests with you the members.

Your continued efforts will make this house great again. You've already made it better. As more members join our ranks, we will continue to grow and improve.

Ultimately, our next chance to prove ourselves will come in this feud we're planning with Odan-Urr. Yes, this is a "friendly feud," at least in the sense that we will be working/fighting towards the same goals fictionally. Practically, we are competing against them. And, though there are many in Odan-Urr whom I would consider friends, who came from Tarentum itself, let's face it: it is time to kick Lighty's Ass!
