So first report of 2017. December appeared to vanish in a storm of work, holidays and a general air of busyness. I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed your Xmas and new year's, Yule for those who celebrate and everything else in between. Working retail over the holidays isn’t something I’d recommend to anyone. Keeps you busy and this explains the end of year missing report. This will be a short report containing everything from January only. The fiction is a tie up to the Cathedral story and retaken of the city. Building up a lot of points for Riku to come and revival of an old friend who may or may not appear again. Apologies to those who wished to appear in this fiction, it’s just not what this fiction is. It’s an end to the story.
February will be a new storyline probably tieing into the Sands of time. It will be focusing more on everyone else as Riku takes a back step into personal fiction mainly only and an overseer. I’ll be looking at everyone's participation over February and deciding as I go who to include.
So without further ado, this month's nitty gritty.
City Outskirts
Tarthos
The flames licked the night sky and Riku stood back and let the warmth from the funeral pyre wash over him. He stood close enough that the flickering embers singed the tips of his beard and yet he refused to move from his spot. The rest had gone, departed some time before. The Clan had paid their respects but the Jörgue knew the path. They said their words and left the fire to burn. Taking everything Frey’jah had owned with them to be used in the future by the next warrior to take up the mantle or perhaps to strip down. Riku didn’t know, nor did he care.
He had handed his own armour back, a gift from her upon the start of his trials. It didn’t feel right to keep it and his interest in being a Mandalorian had faded along with his hopes for leading a family life, a life beyond soldiering. Riku eternally shrugged and waited until the fires had consumed the pyre completely and nothing but ashes remained. He wasn’t sure how to feel anymore. Sadness was beginning to consume him but he had been trained to keep emotions down. They were useless, unneeded. A waste of effort and time.
A small cough made him turn on his heel and as he did he took in the sight of an elderly warrior. A man dressed from head to foot in the colours of Jörgu stood before him and in his hands, he held a large box. The man stepped forward saying nothing, waited until Riku held out his hands and passed the box over. Riku knew the man but wasn’t the first to speak when the moment came.
“She left this for you. Was a present she hoped you could share...my daughter was odd. I knew this and you knew this. In fact, I think everyone knew this. She barely held onto the principles of our clan and some part of me fears you may have been the reason, or perhaps she was yours for straying from your path,” The great man's expression soured at that thought. “Either way this is yours, I believe there is a holo-message to go with it for you to observe in private. Look after it, and ensure it doesn't kill anyone accidentally.”

Well, go look at Sands of Times that's the current project. Get involved, do it. I’m not biased because I am helping to run it not at all. Oh, by the way, it’s Moraband. Spelling mistakes happen but there seems to have been a lot of chatter so for all fictions please use the correct spelling.
Also currently updating bits and pieces of the wiki’s as per to go along with the end of the city storyline.
Talking about storylines the summit is looking at our fictional progression going forward. So look out for that!
The big competition this month is, of course, Sands of Time! Sands Of Time
There are so many active competitions I won’t list them all. Go to the Competition page linked here and have a look and participate in all you can!
That’s all, for now, ladies and gents. Enjoy the rest of the month, participate in competitions, take part in the ACC, write your own fiction, game or just take part. I hope you all have a wonderful month.
Regards,
Riku Aedile of Marka Ragnos

Nice report. By the way given the transition with new names, we are not marking off for a new name for Korriban everyone is getting used to this time. In future comps and other competitions I would advise spelling it correctly to avoid getting marked for it.
For that matter Korriban is also an acceptable name as per Wookiepedia. Just didn't want to cause more confusion.
Yes. That. Meant in future. If you've submitted under Moriband already no harm!
Yeah, that was a typo on my part. sorry!
Thanks for the report. Didn't know that about Moraband.
Thank you for the clarification. Will do in future. :)
It'll always be Korriban in my heart!
I agree!
