"I tell you, there must be something on this planet. Other crews keep going missing, I tell you, something is responsible for it! And if we find that, we could make use of that ourselves! Rumour has it that it’s a group of jedi hiding out here! Imagine the artifacts they could have!"

"And I keep telling you, I don’t want to end up like those others! It’s probably wildlife, maybe there are Nexu or Rancor’s on this planet. Everyone knows the Jedi are gone. I don’t want to end up like Raunu’s crew: missing on this backwater planet.. boss."

"Fine! But there used to be a population here, and now there is not. There must be something left of them we can sell. Besides, we were paid good money to check if anyone is alive here."

Quaestor's Corner

First off, I want to say that I am very impressed with Shadow Academy activity lately. It seems like every day my inbox is full of courses being taken and passed. That is great to see! Not only that, but we had TWO new Knights since my last report! That is phenomenal, guys! Keep that up!

While the participation in the first round of Reconnaissance was lower than I would have liked, it was great to see some of our veterans getting into it and to see that even Darth Aeternus can enter and win competitions.

To get this House into fighting shape we need to do better on participation. When the big competitions like Great Jedi Wars and other Vendettas come around we will always do better if we've been practicing. Part of that is on me both to communicate better (and more often) so you know what's going on, and to make sure I'm running competitions that you guys want to take part in. Part of that is on all of us to take the time to look at the competition page and choose some things to do.

We had the survey go out earlier this month thanks to Solas Night-Thorn. I am eagerly awaiting the results from that so that Zekk and I can see what we've been doing right and what we can improve on. I hope some of you took the time to fill it out!

As always, my door is open if you have questions or need help with anything. Hit me up on Telegram and it will buzz my phone. Leave me an email and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I am here to help you guys have a great time and be as successful as possible in the Dark Brotherhood.

That's all for now, folks! See you out there!
