Introduction

Welcome to our first report as your new house summit. As you all know by now, Taranae and Dralin had to step down due to real life things, I hope everything is going well for you both. Everyone give a huge Thank you to them for everything they’ve done for this house. Now Wrathus and I have been chosen to take up the reins, and are more than happy to help keep this house going strong. But we can’t do that without the your help as well. More on that later though, let’s get into this report shall we.

SA awards and Promotions!

Now there have been quite a few Shadow Academy achievements hitting my inbox as of late, along with the shinies and even a Promotion!!

First off the Promotion. I’d like to give a hearty Congrats to Khryso Mallus for his promotion from Acolyte to Hunter. Keep up the hard work and you’ll reach Knighthood in no time!

Now the Exams. My inbox has been flooded with all of the exams you all have taken, as such if I were to list every single one you each have taken over this past month, we would be here all night, so I’ll try to keep this short and to the point.

• Sato Tarentae has earned a total of 4 Dark Maven degrees, including Philosophy and Lore, then 4 days later Galactic History and History and Lore. He also earned 2 Dark Pundit degrees of Essentials and Vendetta!! Way to go dude!
  
• Khryso Mallus since earning 2 degrees, a Dark Maven in Writing and a Dark Savant in Writing and Philosophy, he has done 5 more courses this month alone. Keep up the great work!
  
• Nitram has taken a total of 20 exams in March and earned 2 Dark Pundit degrees in Essentials and Vendetta. Great job, keep it up!

Conclusion

Alright peeps, let's get out there and do the things. If you need any help, or need someone to proof a fiction, or anything else like that, feel free to ask. If Wrathus, any of the summit or I am available, we are more than happy to help you.

As always, if anyone wants to reach either of us with questions or just want to talk, Wrathus and I can be found on [Telegram - Log in to view join link] (if your not on Telegram yet, I’d highly recommend it. It’s free and the DJB’s primary form of communication.) and of course by email. We’re always open to chat with, and easy to get a hold of!

Until next time,

Tahiri and Wrathus
