Before I introduce the newest members of the Shadow Academy staff, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who applied. I received 22 applications for the five open positions, so there were many tough decisions to be made, but I was encouraged by the level of interest I saw in the applications and excited to be able to put together this new team.

Please welcome:

• Battlemaster Qormus Aquila di Plagia - Praetor to the Headmaster
  
• Raider Zuza Lottson - New Member Magistrate
  
• Commander Raleien Sonavarret - Lore Magistrate
  
• Reaver Kanal O'neill - Trivia Magistrate
  
• General Zentru'la - Professor of Writing
  

Congratulations to all! Also, thank you again to everyone who applied and to Xantros, Erinyes and Dek for their service to the Shadow Academy.
