Greetings all,

The original plan was for me to announce the new P:HM about 36 hours ago, but I've had a lot of difficulty making the decision. I had some excellent candidates that I went back and forth on. However, I'm confident in my choice. Please offer congratulations/condolences to Seraphol as he takes on an even larger role in the Shadow Academy than he has held for the years he's been a Professor.

He's got some huge shoes to fill. I already mentioned this in my report, but I am grateful to Laren for all that he's done in his ten months as my Praetor. In an attempt to come even close to repaying him for his service, I was proud to be part of recommending him for a Ruby Scepter. Hopefully he won't beat too many people with it.
