Greetings, Plagueians, and welcome to my thirteenth report as your Wrath! Yes, it has officially been over a year since I became your Proconsul, and I am psyched to continue my tenure. So without further ado, let's get to the meat of it.

Seals of Loyalty

With the arrival of the most important holiday on the calendar - May the 4th - we got to see three members of our clan recognized as dedicated and exemplary members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. I am honored to acknowledge the efforts and enthusiasm of the two members that your Dread Lord and I nominated.

Congratulations to Tahiri Thorn Morte Tarentae and Scudi Ferria on their Seals of Loyalty.

Another member was recognized by the Dark Council and also granted a Seal of Loyalty. I'll give you a hint: The name of the award fits him quite well.

Congratulations to our Conseal, Arden Karn di Plagia, for his Seal of Loyalty!

Please take the time to congratulate these fine members of our clan.

New Arrivals Galore!

In the aftermath of Star Wars: Celebration, we have had quite a few new members join our ranks. These people are entirely new to the Brotherhood, and if you haven't already, I want you to give them a hearty welcome.

Time For Vacation Already?

While I've just gotten back from New York, I do have news for all of you. In his previous report, your Conseal mentioned an event we ran two years ago, Vacation on Dagobah, and how we were planning a sequel. Yes, Furios Morega di Plagia and I have been co-conspiring to get you to your next vacation, and here's when we take off for our destination.

Vacation on [LOCATION REDACTED] will begin on Monday, May 20th!

And guys...it's gonna be on FIRE.

Ask the Wrath

It's time for another round of Ask the Dread Lord's Wrath! I got a few great questions I want to answer.

Wally asks:

What inspires you as a writer at this point in your life? Do you feel like it's changed from when you were younger or has it stayed the same?

Oh, it has definitely changed, especially after joining the Brotherhood. Before the DB, I hated fiction, and truth be told, I was mostly inspired to write poems and lyrics and plays based on music. Listening to songs triggered my writing style - sometimes to a rather emulating degree. Now that I've partaken in writing fiction and other media, my inspiration is a combination of discipline and just random happenstance, plus a lot of "What if...?" thinking regarding my own life and experiences. It's resulted in a lot of projects I've completed and many more I'm working on - inside and outside the DB.

Tahiri asks:

How much interaction do you think Plagueis as a whole will have with the Severian Principate?

To quote both Arden and myself...hmmm.

I honestly could best answer by wholeheartedly encouraging you all to help develop the Principate. What we contribute will ultimately mold how Plagueis reacts. So if you want to help make the Principate awesome and maybe a suitable Plagueis ally(?), click the link below to do some comps:

She also asks:

do you have a favorite in the new creature's system? And did/are you getting a creature?

I have to be honest here - I don't know. I haven't really taken a look at the creatures, and I'm gonna have to. I do like the Sand Panther for an aesthetic reason, though I don't see Ronovi getting a creature. She's not exactly an animal person. Regardless of how much she hunts for that...well, you know.

Zuser asks:

where would you rather go on vacation, Dagobah, Tattooine or Kamino?

Kamino. Ronovi could go sailing.

He also asks:

Have you seen Skull anywhere? I sent him to get spare parts and he hasn’t come back yet and I need him to help me with this next delivery to the Circle.

Note to self: Don't let Zuser anywhere near the scrapyard.

Final Thoughts

I'm really looking forward to seeing you all enjoy the next vacation comp. For now, however, some comps run DB-wide and by your fellow Plagueians to tide you all over:

https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/14786 - [PLA] Competitive Drive (run by our very own Scudi) https://www.darkjedibrotherhood.com/competitions/14870 - In Memory of Mayhew (run by our very own Ranarr)

And if you're down for a limerick competition run by Tasha and inspired by me, here ya go!

'Til next time, Plagueis!
