The Independence Games close tomorrow evening. There is still time to get submissions in, though. If you haven't, I encourage you to take a look at the Short Events. A lot of them are short- you can get some participation in, and you may even win. I've already added 3 submissions to my total today, with a couple more coming.

I would also like to welcome Ernordeth to House Tarentum. He is moving so fast through things that I can barely keep up, and has already been promoted to Acolyte!

The Jen Kaari are still looking for members. If you're interested, contact Levathan- [Log in to view e-mail addresses].

As noted, Ernordeth has already made it to Acolyte- he had to get to Apprentice and then Novice before that, but those were basically minor inconveniences to him. He is quickly approaching Protector.

Since my last report, the following members have earned...

-Levathan received a Seal of Loyalty for his consistent service to the Brotherhood -Bloodfyre earned 15 Clusters of Fire by playing TOR -Oberst earned 146 Clusters of Fire by playing TOR -Solas earned a Dark Cross for good activity in the Shadow Academy, interest in the ACC, and the Dark Crusade -Ernordeth earned an Anteian Cross from the Headmaster for passing 7 SA courses, and earning a degree, within the past 24 hours.

Well done everyone! Your awards are well earned!

After the Independence Games, we'll have a little break until April 17th before phase 3 of the Dark Crusade picks up. I hope that even more people will joining the efforts of the Dark Crusade. This upcoming phase will be the last for chapter 1, so the last chance to qualify for some of the special awards (other than the novae and whatnot).

Finally, stay tuned for a major announcement shortly after the Independence Games are over.

In darkness,
