As most of you know, our old Quaestor turned Proconsul, Qormus, stepped down from their positions a while back. It was just announced that Qormus joined the 2023 term for the Chamber of Justice as Left Hand of Justice. A BIG congratulations to Qormus on this new role. Clan Plagueis and House Ventress are very happy for you, and wish you nothing but the best. (May your term be peaceful and slow!)

Selika’s Consul report was also released which includes the results of the Ascending Confederacy!!

House Ventress

As most of you know, last month we had our first clan event of the year, the Ascending Confederacy, which was a two week house vs house event. I am so proud to announce our victory over House Tyranus!! A big shout out and congratulations to everyone who participated. We couldn’t have done this without you!

Selika has already made a full post about the event with super fancy graphics, be sure to check that out. Thank you Selika and Teylas for all your hard work and dedication making this super fun event for everyone.

A quick summary for the event for House V:

• Ventress ended the event with 607 points. (68 points above Tyranus)
• Out of 11 members, 9 participated in the event with at least one entry. That is 81% participation from Ventress!
• The members of Ventress combined for a total of 83 entries.
• 6 of the top 10 placements were from House Ventress

Everyone's effort was really admirable, and I hope you are all as proud of yourselves as I am of you. There were a lot of entertaining events, and it was encouraging to see participants step outside their comfort zones and try new things.

I also want to just give a big shout out to the folks who placed overall in the Top 10 for the event. To my folks in House Ventress - Furios, Arden, Kul’tak, Taranae and Qormus, you rock!

With that out of the way, lets move onto future plans. I want to hear from the House Ventress members on what you want to see more of moving forward. What activities do you want to take part in? Do you desire additional graphic design contests? Are you looking for more puzzles to spend hours solving? How about giving roleplaying a shot? My strategy is to hold contests more frequently to encourage Ventress to take part and gain more shinnies, credits, and XP for your upcoming promotion. Thus, if you have suggestions on what you want to see for competitions, or even better, events you want to conduct, let me know! I want you to enjoy your time in this region of the clan and am here to assist you.

Final Thoughts

This year is already shaping up to be fantastic, and I can't wait to see where it takes us. Spring is just around the corner, and plans across the DB are beginning to take shape.
