<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:14pt">Introduction</span></div>

Welcome to my first report as Quaestor of House Qel-Droma, for the second time. By now, most of you probably know me, but for those of you who don't, allow me to tell you a bit about myself. I'm a university student living and working in Washington, D.C., and also a competitive athlete. I am also the head of student government at my university.  

I've been here for six years or so, and I've never once left Arcona. I've bounced around between the Houses since my last stint as Quaestor here in 2009, mostly just filling gaps when there was nobody else available. Most recently, I was Aedile in Galeres under Sanguinius a few months ago. I'm mainly a writer and a big-time ACCer here in our club, and only dabble in gaming when it's vendetta time.

I'm really eager to get to know all of you better, and I want to work with you to make your experience in Qel-Droma better than it ever has been. My new Aedile, Montresor, shares that vision, and has a similar passion for improving our House. Both of us are around quite a bit, and we want to be as accessible and approachable as possible. If you have any questions, suggestions, need a hand, or just want to chat -- we're down. I intend to be in touch with all of you in the next two weeks, and I'll explain my plans more with each of you individually. <div align="center">

<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:14pt">Announcements</span></div>

<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:11pt;">The Dark Crusade</span>

The big news, of course, is that we have another chapter of the Dark Crusade going on right now. We're up against House Odan-Urr in the fight for Svolten, and the events are open until this Friday at midnight EST. All of the events can be found at this link. Remember that participation is vital, and the more events you can do, the better! I'm hoping for some really strong turnout from Qel-Droma this chapter, and I know you guys won't disappoint. Be sure to check your inboxes for helpful tips on the different events! Wally's GFX tutorial, in particular, is helpful -- watch it here!

After you submit an event, make sure that you stop by the activity tracker and record it!

<span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:11pt;">A House Divided</span>

We have finally finished grading all of the events and compiling overall scores for the June House event that was run by Socorra and Valhavoc. Please join me in congratulating <span style="font-weight:bold">Nikola Valtiere</span>, the champion of A House Divided! Just on his heels in second and third were <span style="font-weight:bold">Loki</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold">Blarex</span> so congratulations to them as well! Enjoy your rewards! Also, we'll be releasing a wrap-up fiction to conclude the event and tie up some loose ends from this phase of the Dark Crusade in Montresor's next report.  

A big thank you to Valhavoc for wrapping up the results -- good luck as Fist, dude, the future of Brotherhood gaming is looking secure!
